The Sarah and Eliza, P. MACARTHY, :I‘elaSter,
arrived at Portsmouth, on TueSday, laden with
wine, on account of Government. Seven friars
and three nuns came passengers in her ;. they are
of the religious orders of the Franciscans and Do-
minicans, and were obliged to fly from Valencia,
at the time that place was besieged by SUCEIET,
they have strenuously exerted themselves during
the seige in opposing the French. The friars
wear a dress of coarse brown cloth, with a
cowl affixed, with which they occasionally cover
their heads. The nuns are.tiressed in black, with
long. black veils, which they generally wear
thrown over their ',.heads, so as to leave their
faces quite unconcealed.

immediately with his clothes and boots dn, from
the forecastle, which is about 3LI feet high, after
him, and held him for several minutes, at the risk.
of his own life, the marine holding him fast by
the collar, which no doubt would have caused the
death .of the French Officer, if his strength had
not sustained him till a boat came ia,time to save
them ; the marine was almost lifeless.

A General Order has recently been issued,
.sig-
nifying the COMMANDER in CHIEF'S command,
that parties employed on the recruiting service
are not to interfere with the Local Militia during

their stations, as was formerly the practice.

Melancholy .4ccident.—.On Sunday morning the
7th instant, a melancholy scene took place nearly
opposite the Brick-house, in Chelsea-reacii. Mr:
Robert Christie, a gentleman of respectable con-
ne:zions, and holding a situation in the Transport
Oifice, went on the Thames with .his nephew, a
firte lad, 17 years old, in a pleasure-boat to enjoy
the amusement of sailing. • They had proceeded
up tire river as far as Chelsea, where the weather
became so calm, that they fastened their main and
gib sails, and remained immovable On the smooth
surface of the water, which was.thcn not ruffled
by the slightest undulation: In this situation
they continued' for a considerable time, when a
sndden gust of wind from the West filled the sails,
instantly upset the boat, and carried her unhappy
to a watery graVe. Mr. Christie, who ' was
'a remarkably good swimmer, was seen to gain
the surface ,of the ‘vater, but whether -from the
anxiety, arising from the reflection that he was the
tinfotturrate instrument of•his nephew's death, or
whether his legs gpt entangled with the rigging of
the boat, is not Certain, but he again sunk, and
was seen no more. Neither of. the bOdies.haYe
since been seen, which is ascribed chiefly to the
circumstance of there having been a remarkably
high. spring ride, at the time the accident hap-
pened. Mr. C. had a gold watch in.his fob, and
snme bank notes in his pocket.

On Sunday afternoon. last, William hunt, one
of t:!ehrick'-nutkers beiongingto Mr. Whitehead,
of Cadogan-place, in the parish' of St, Luke's,
Chelsea, beat and kicked his wife; in Little Exei.er-
street, in that parish, in a most uninercifut.nri-
wr, and niterwards,.following her into the yard,
stabbed her in the loins, with a clasp knife' • de-
claring tiiat nothin.:; should prevent ni urdering
her. The- poor wthuan was conveyed to St.
George's Hospital, with little hopes of recovery.
The perpetrator of this barbarous deed being
taken ,-Al,:tody, was carried before the Rev.
,Dr. 7t3ar .!ey, who committed him to New-
gate,y., ;:!Is trial for this atrocious offence.

THE 'ery enit'Adining arse
represented last night at the Haymarket Theatrd,
under the title of The Sleep7Walker, or
the Lady? There is a considerable degree of
comic interest in the pioti and spirit and point in
the dialogue. The hero of the piece, Soritn)
olaTnEv.s), is an attendant on an Irish Gentle*
man, -.Sit Patrick Maguire (JUNES), but had beea-
a
votary of Tntsrzs. In the course of his soin-
'talent cxnrsions; he ifivolves.bithself and Other.i
in the most ludicrous aad diverting perplexities.
The Par:e Was particularly well performed for a
first representatioh, trod was most favourably
Ceived by a numerous audience. It is attribhted
to Mr. OuLros, who is well-known for literary
productions,;and is the author of a Farce, which
was successfully performed some years ago, under
the whimsical name of The Sixty-third Letter.

T. ItovuDiNo, I:ACGART, FISGTIER, and
Mr. BitAnAm,—Mrs. Asril. gave " Sweet Bird"
in a very beautiful style, and was most admirably
accompanied. by her husband on the flute. A Duet
between her andßannAM, composed by the latter,
was given. in a very interesting manner by both.
DreKoN. s sung ." I:4larewel, ye -Limpid
Spriags," with pathos and efi'ect Miss ]Aron,
a very extraordinary child; a pupil of Sir GEORGE
SMART, played ,with him a Duet on the Piano-
forte. It is needless to pay any compliments to
his abilities, and under such a tutor it is not sur-
prising that her great natural talents should be so
highly cultivated. Mr. VACCARI gave a Solo ca
the Violin with first-rate ability. The subject
was- " God save the King," and his variations:
manifested great musical. knowledge, taste, and
faney. Nothing could be rirc\re. tie at arid articu-
late,than his double stops, and indeed the whole of
his performance. Mr. Hoax, displayed consider-
able skill -in Concerto on the Harp. We have
not, however, .1.:;,7.m to dilate on the several ex-
cellencies
,of the evening. The Concert conclud-
ed with a new Glee, the words from " The Lady
of the Lake," and the music by MAzziNcIII. It
was appropriate and beautiful, and well Supported'
by Mts. ASRE, Master BOyLE; and Mr. T-.-ItovE-
DMO, anctthe company departed highly, gratified
with the entertainment which they had received,
and the zealous attention of their amiable hostess.

The Proprietor of the Lyceum, much to the
credit of his humanity and patriotism, intends to
allot one night's performance to the relief of out
unfortunate countrymen who. are Prisoners in
France.

Drury-14ne Theatre is advan'cing with such ac-
tivity that there is no doubt of its being ready
by the time. appointed. Mr. ARNOLD, it seems,
is to have the management of it, under a Board
of the chief Proprietors.

But five nights more can we witnesss the great
talents of Mrs. SIDDONS, and we commend the
Managers for announcing the play of The Stranger
for a second night, To-morrow Evening,
,as we
understand hundreds were disappointed on Thurs-
clay last.
Mr. BE'TERTON, jun. who has recently bees
added to the Haymarket Company, is a very pro-
mising young actor. His performance of Lors
Duke, in High Lift below Stairs, was marked by:
humour and spirit; and he was deservedly much
applauded, particularly for his share in' the mock
minuet, which he rendered so ludictous that it
was encored.

Mr. BETTY seems now to have resumed the
theatrical ' profession, apparently with an inten-
tion to persevere in it. He appeared at Plymouth
Th..atre on Wednesday last hide part of Achniet,
and attracted a very crowded audience.

INCLEDON is still at tdiribUrgh, and the- Ma-
nage'', as well as himself, will derive considerable
advantage from the eng•ngement.
