MR. kEANS REPLY.

•• Gentlemen—lf I ever lamented a want of eloquence it is on the
present occasion. when I feel how incapable I am to reply to my friends
in the glowing and brilliant language they have used. I cannot but
lament my deficiency. and express my pleasurable feelings in the dic-
tates of my heart. Gentlemen, it is not hyperbole when I declare that
this moment is the proudest of my existence in public favour. There
has been, there is, there will be those, that hold an equal, perhaps su-
perior slave; but the superiority I have gained in the attachment of
my brother professionals, I will resign to no one. It has ever been
my study to maintain their good opinion ; and this token of regard I
proudly conceive a testimony of the success of my endeavours. As
true feeling, I humbly consider. can be expressed in few words, I shall
endeavour to be as brief as possible; but I must be deemed insensible
if I did not express how fully I appreciate the honour conferred on me
in the presence now, and past attentions of, Mr. Palmer. the Father
of the Stage. A certain prejudice generally exists in favour of early
impressions, particularly in the veterans who can remember the old and
acknowledged superior school ;—the respect they owe the memories of
a Garrick. Barry. and Cibber, makes them consider theta always alive
and present; consequently I must say, the approbation of a man who
has trod the boards with those whose fame must live for ever, is the
tee plus ultra of drainatic commendation. Still, I say, I should re-
ceive this valuable donation with diffidence, did not my heart whisper
me, that my professional success but gratities me so far as it procures
me the means of serving those who may not be equally Mrtunate ; nor
can envy, however violent against rite, confute a bold asseveration—
If fortune has exalted. she hat not changed ow. I conclude, Gentlemen,
with offering you, individually and all, my sincere thanks; assuring
you Lou it shall always be my study to preserve your good wishes; and
that the action of this hour is engraven on my heart, and will live there,
earesoria is skews."

The Cup is a ehrlitarsivre, and does infinite credit to the taste
of Mr. Hamlet, Ow art,st who prepared it. It is formed aft, r
the beautiful antique vase in Warwick Castle. The Baceini
nalian ornaments in auto rritero ere eveented with consummate
art. The inscription is short and appropriate. The oruuk of
the donors are 411 inscribed on the side, with an apt and Ile.
served quotation from passings r, in compliment to Mr. Kean.

Mr. Kean is engaged Cr three nights to perform in
Operatic Characters, At the new English Opera-house,
and is expected to make his appearance there very shortly.
The theatrical world are highly interested in this new
attempt.

The Prince of Saxe Cobourg, attended by Sir Robert
Gardiner, visited Drury-lane Theatre on Tuesday, to
give his commands respecting a box for his Royal Con-
sort and himself for the next season. The Princess
Charlotte wonld have accompanied him, but her Royal
Highness was prevented by a slight cold, which, however,
we are happy to say, is likely to be of only temporary
duration. The box tixed upon for the Royal personages,
is on the King's side, and next to that of the Duke of
Bedford.

We lament to hear that Mr. Sheridan lies dangerously
ill at his house in Saville-row. Ile has, it appears, been
in a declining state fir sonic time. His complaint is
said to be an internal inflammation, augmented by a re-
cent cold. The physicians yesterday had little hopes of
his recovery.
A Saturday's paper says, letters from Paris state, that
Mrs. Jordan died at St. Cloud on Monday morning last.
She was taken ill of an iothontuation on the ebcst, an I
died by the rupture of a blootl-vessel.—We hope the
statement is incorrect. When shall we " look ulna her
like again ?"
Warwick-huts-, the late residence of the Princess
Charlotte of Wales, is in future to be occupied by Sir
B. Bloomfield.

EXECUTION OF THE ELY RIOTERS.
The five persons condemnd to death for being con-
cerned in the riots at Ely, &c. suffered the sentence of
the law on Friday. Our letters inform us, that they all
evinced great repentance. The execution was attended
by an immense concourse of spectators, who behaved with
the greatest order, and upon whom the awful scene
seemed to make a deep impression. They departed
quietly after the execution. A few infantry only were
present. Previous to their execution they signed, volun-
tarily, a written confession of their offences.

A deputation of merchants in the Quebec trade bad an.
interview with Lord Melville, and the Board of Admi-
ralty on Saturday. They represented to the board, that
in cor.gequence of the seamen belonging to the merchant-
vessels arrived out at Quebec having been offered 90s.
per month to serve in his Majesty's ships on Lakes Erie
and Ontario, whilst they received only 355. per month
in the merchants' service, the whole of the crews had left
their employ and joined the navy, and the ships were de-
tained at Quebec, to the great loss of the owners of the
vessels and cargoes. Lord Melville reminded the gentle-
men, that it had invariably been the custom during peace
to obtain men for his Majesty's ships of war in the colo-
nies by means of the merchant service. With respect to
the wages given, at the rate of 90s. per month, his lord-
ship was totally at a loss to explain, as only 455. per
month were allowed by Government. If any advance
was made beyond that sum, it must have been done by
way of bounty. He assured the deputation, that no
time should be lost in writing out to the proper officers,
to allow all the accommodation in their power to the-
merchant-vessels; and promised, at the same time, that
Government would as speedily as possible send ont a
a transport, with men, to supply the deficiency of hands
in North America

The New Insolvent Debtors Bill, to suspend the ope-
rations of the present Act, and to inflict severe pains and
penalties on fraudulent debtors, authorises the Judge of
Court in London, or the Justices at the Courts of
Quarter Sessions, to refuse the privilege of the existing
Act, for a time to be limited, to any debtor who shall.
appear to them, on examination, to have been guilty of •
great injustice, in contracting debts without the means
of satisfying them, or shall have squandered money
which ought to have been applied to that purpose. Per-
sons guilty of gross frauds, in the opinion of the Judge,
are to remain in prison for five years ; if a debtor cars
procure the sanction of all his creditors, the Judge will.
grant him his release, no matter what the circumstances
of the case are : the consent of all the creditors will be
necessary to a debtor's discharge ; but the Judge has this
power of interposing in behalf of the debtor, if he thisiks.
the creditors, in their opposition, are actuated by base or. •
malicious motives.
It appears, by papers presented to the House of Com-
mons, that the original Orphan's Debt of 747,4711.
created by Charles the Second's seizure of that Fund..
and provided for by the Act of William and Mary, has.
been reduced by gradual payments, of which one to the
amount of 28,0001. was made last year, to 145,0001.
Prince Leopold on Wednesday inspected Cumberlarnt-
house, Pall Mall, which the Board of Ordnance is
about to remove from ; this inspection is, is is said, with
a view to his Serene Highness's residence there with his
Royal Consort ; Camelford-house being found inadequate
and inconvenient.

The freedom of the City having been voted to Prince
Leopold, and the Dukes of Kent, Sussex, and Glouces-
ter, their Royal Highnesses have intimated their inten-
tion of attending to receive the same on the It?th of
July. The Lord Mayor informed the members of the
Corporation, that it was intended to present the freedoms
in the open hall.
A letter from Boulogne, inserted in the Mosiiirip-,

and the close population of that part of France, may ba

HORRID PIGAN CUSTOMS.

FORTY-SEVEN WINIZN BURNED WITH THE EODY OF
THE PRINCE OF MARAVA.

The fallowing. ill II letter from Father Martin, a Jegnit Miti-
aionary in Mainrii, libertral in the Near York Spectator of the
27th of May :

he Prince of Morava dying Lu 1770, his wives, to the num-
ber of 47, were tanned with his corpse, in the following
man-
net; •'flity diggerl a drop ditch without the town, and in it
ere: is d a pile of wood, on the top of which the deceased was
laid richly clothed and adorned. tt hen they had set this en

jewels and adoruid with 110,44 rs lie c so many vic:ints deigned

the heat of which was pro ecierd at a great ili•fai.ce. 'I be chief
of them having addressed the succe..sor of the late Prince, ac-
signed the dogger of the deceased into his hand; who too► it
without showing the least sign of grief or compassion. ' Alas!'
said she,' what further cones of human !tipplers ! I ant sen-
sible 1 tin throwing myself headlong to hell!'—These words
struck ail the spectators with horror. She had a Christian
woman in her service, who i'requently discoursed with her ton
ceruing the truths of s created religion, iu order to persuade
her to embrace Chi istianity, but without success. She having
thus spoken boldly, hinted hie fare to the pile, um], calling
upon her g.,ds, tlt...g herself Into the demi s. The second of
those women was the sister of Ite ya, a prince of the blood, who
assisted at that &lei:able ecretunay.-- When he r-eeised the

out lulu tears, embracing, her tool timiderly : shy teemed up
