MILES PETER ANDREWS, ESQ.

This Gentleman, who has long been known to
the dranratic.and fashionable
_world, died (as we-
yesterday mentioned) on Monday last, at his
house in Cleveland-row. •

His father was an eminent dry-salter in Watling-street,
and at an early age the sun was permitted to assume the ap-
pearance of a man of fashion, and to enter into the gay circles.
of-higher life. In consequence Of this, parental indulgence

the time. He soon After, felt some ambition to distinguish
hiMSelf in literary circles, and wrote several dramatic sketches,
ttftich were represented; with tolerable success, particularly
an opera entitled Summer Amusement, brought forward at
the Haymarket Theatre. His last production of this kind
was The Mysteries (tithe Castle, Nt.th was represented with

logues characteristic-' of-.old city manners, which afforded

Toots, to whom they were generally assigned. His promp-
titude in this species of cmtiposition was a . sure resource
.to hiS friends REYNOLDS and Moa•ro, whenever they
,had a . dramatic work in preparation.' 'The chief circum-
stance that rendered Mr. ANDREWS an object of public
notice was his having' induced the celebrated Miss •IlnoNw.!,
afterwards Mrs. CARGILL, to withdraw:from the'stage when
she was in the zenith of her fame. ,She did not, however, re-
main long under his protection. The political principles of
Mr. ANnitEws were sound, and he was a decided enemy to the
Revolutionary theories of France,- which produced the ruin of
that country, and shook the Government of every Continental
State. Mr. AmirtEws was of a :hospitable dispositiartj and
had the honour of including Mr. PITT in the number of his
guests. He acquired a vast fortune by his eiintracts for Sup,
plying Government with gun-powder. He was a Meitqer of
the Hons.° of Commons for many years, hut hardly ever ap-
peared as a speaker, though he was well (ivahified to-deliver
his sentiments on commercial topics. He was particularly
fond of relating stories in private life respecting :Apparitions,,
in the reality,of which be seemed to be a confident -believer.

too well known to need a- evei.tal in this place. Mr. ANnitzws
was of a social turn, and, though rather peculiar in his, teat-

train of connections to regret the loss of-an- agreeable compa-
nion and a hospitable friend:., He had nearly reached the

THE LvcEum.---The alteratiOn Of CUMBER-
LAND'S Comedy of The Brothers, formed into an
Opera, under the title of 'the Privateer, which was
first produced at this Theatre last season, was re-
presented there 1;14 night. FAwcETT -gave a
rough spirited support to howl-des. LrEGRovE
was excellent in Sir Benjamin Dove, and displayed
'great versatility-of talents in, his timid submission.
to his wife and subsequent aseuniption of authority.
Mis. SPARKS was, equally successful in the con-
trary change 'of character. Miss KELLY, who
evidently suffered under a severe cold, exerted
herself, however, with great zeal in Sophia, but
was shamefully insulted by a drunkcn fellow in
the gallery. , - The generous indignation of the au-
dience amply made her_amends by the warmth'irf
their .protection. There was a very numerous
audience.

Lord FITZROY SOMERSET, youngest brother of
the Duke of BEAUFOR'T, gill in a few days receive,

daughter of the Right lion. WILLIAM IV,ELLESLEY

carp at the preparations now in progress for the

duce of Tickets of. Admission to St. James's •Park
(on 'sale at the Lottery Offices only) is to be de-
