The last SCene, as if we had not had Ghosts
enough, introduced the apparition of Rttoio,- the

This Piece is ;the avowed produaion Of Mr.

Ills duty. The Scenery is - beautiful, plauresque,
and strikin, The View of MoUnt Vesuvius, its
,Pption, and the flowing of the lava, is very splen..-
ki
and was well managed.tat
There were as,feW- impediments in the, represen- .
as could be expOlecl on a -first performance.
The parts chiefly objeetionable to the Audience
were. the mangled. appearance of the- boy's face,
ater he had been in the hands of the Corsair and the
Ghost. Indeed, supernatural appearances are, now
to hackneyed on the Stage, that there is a want of
taste in bringing any more of these mealy-fared
Cents:y before. the PAlic. This Ghost, however,
had some, no-lielti, in his appearance, for instead of
being 'white,. like his-airy predecessors,, he seemed
to be masquerading in a black Domiaa.
With very few alterations, the Piece will doubtless
pass .off with the Svccess .that usually attends such
Compositions; and if the events were not rather
*too much like what the• town has often seen, it
Would most probably- have, created a strong interest.

Let others complain, 'tis the fishermah's pleasure,
In hail, rain, or sunshine, to search for his treasure;
Tho' dangers surround us, and tempests assail, -
We defy the rough ocean, and laugh at the gale,
So our nets full of fish, we are quite in our glory',
And we sing viva viva, huzza, Peseapri.
On the banks of the tay, at the close of our labour',
OUr spirits wee cheer; with the.pipe and the tabor, .
Nor care we how early the sun hides his head,
The fire a Vesuvius will light unto bed. '•

We havieh satisfaction in stating from autho-
rity, that ,ainong- other Legacies bequeathed by the
late JAMES CLARK, Esq. Painter, at Naples, he has
left 7261. sterling for the support of the-Academy
lately established_ at Inverness, the place of his na-
tivity, besides a valuable Painting, to be hung up
in the Hail of the Academy ; and has also given
TO. to be distributed among the POor of the ''.l.3soivii
of Inverness. Such liberal Donations reflect great
credit on Mr. CLARK'S public spirit and humanity,
and chew the strong attachment he had for his
native Country, which'he left at an early period of
life : they make a handsome addition to the Funds
of the Academy, and-prove a most seasonable relief
to- the Poor, in these times of scarcity..

sum to be disbursed annually

blow, at Wakefield, has been tried and acquitted at
the York Assizes. It appeared, that theidec-eased
had passed some coarse jokes on the soldiers and said,
amongst other thiligs, that his Regiment had been
the first to run away in Holland. The pride of the
soldier was .wounded ; but as there appeared to have
been no personal malignity in the case, the verditi
was universally approved.
