SHEERNESS, JUNE' r.

YESTERDAY after Post, arrived His. Majesty's
Sloop Arrow, Capt. BRODIE, from Embden, whi-
ther she conveyed-part of the Dutch Troops paid off
from their Ships at Chatham. Captain VINCENT
is appointed to the Arrow, vice Captain BRootE,
promoted to the rank of Post Captain.

We hear that Lord GARDNER is coming to Eng-
land, to be ready to pay his respe6ts to his numerous
friends in Westminster, in case of a dissolution of
Parliament taking place before the summer, from
whom, after his long and faithful services, there can
be no doubt of his experiencing a most flattering and
cordial reception., Indeed we hear of no fresh Can-
didate, giving no credit whatever to the absurd re-
port, that a certain noisy Orator of the House of
Commons can have any serious thoughts of offering
himself.

The Will of the Earl, of LONSDALE has been
opened, and it is found that he has left to .
Sir WILLIAM LOWTHER, now Lord LOWTHER,
all his estates in Westmoreland and Cumberland,
estimated at 40,0001. per annum.To JOHN Low_
THER, Esq. the brother of Sir WILLlAM] he has
left his. Yorkshire estate, worth 40001. per annum.—
To the Countess of Lo NS DA L E, his wife, he has left,
in addition to her jointure of 20001. per annum,
soool. in money,' and the villa which she now in-
habits.—To the Dutphess of BOLTON and Miss
LOWTHER, his two sisters, he has left 70001. each
in money, and his Varbadoes Estate', worth 20001.
a year.—To Colonel LOWTHER,. whom he so par.:
ticularly professed to favour, he has left only
120001. in money"; and to the Earl of DARLING.'
TON, his Nephew, and Heir at Law, who would
have had the whole if no Will had been found, he
has cut Off with a bequest of 5001.
His estate at Laleham, in Middlesex, the hOuse
upon which he left untenanted, for years, on account
'of a dispute with the Priest about tythes, he has di-
reded to be sold. He had 9000 guineas in his
bureau, prepared 'for the ensuing eledions.
Amongst the whimsicalities of the late Earl of
LONSDAL E, was that of keeping at least 606 brood
horses and others, in his several parks, &c. not'one
of which had ever been broken, or even bitted.

Some surfiri:'le was expressed, that the promised
Motion was not brought forward in the House of
Commons, on 'Wednesday last, re.speaing the Na-

in other Theatre;, besides that

which demand attention.

ginning of the Summer, and this is ill„naturedly
coupled with an allusion to her husband.
Miss MURRAY has gairied great additional re-
putation by 'her performance of BeNidera. We
always augured most favourably of this charming
young Alress. Perhaps she might have entered
into the feelings of Behvidertz more' strongly from
the anticipation of herself being soon to he a wife,
but we hope without any of the trials and distresses
which the tragic heroine encountered:

The,fall of the
,Chai:lelier on Saturday last at
Covent-Garden Theatre was occasioned by the
violent applause of a Critic in the Slips, on the
Prince's side of the hoUse, who thumped the iron
'work upon which it rested, in order to testify his
approbation of the performance, till he aftually
loosened the lustre from its hold. It fell very near
a young lady in the stage box, and into the Orchestra,'
but luckily none of the band were on the spot.
Mtrstc.—SALOMON held his Annual Concert on
Monday night, at Willis's Rooms, and had a' very
numerous and splendid audience. The musical
treat, like all the Concerts in which this Performer
has hitherto presided, was rich,' varied, and de-
lightful. His own Violin Concerto was a most ex-
quisite specimen of taste and skill. Mrs.
LINGTON, who performed at Covent_Garden The_
atre, was unable to attend till the second Aft, hu,t
she amply compensated for her delay in a charming
Duetto with BRAHAM, and in a very fine Aria of
Bach. BRAHAM, VIGANONI, and Rov ED INO, sung
with good effect; particularly the first, who amply
displayed that flexibility of voice for which he is
distinguished. The instrumental novelties were,
Messrs. PETR ES, who manifested great execution
on the French Horn. They particularly shone in
their second performance, intitled an Echo, in which
they displayed what, seemed a distant reverberation
of their first mellow tones, with beautiful effeft.
Mr. J. Cl 2 AMER gave a Sonata on the Piano Forte,
with an Obligato Accompaniment on the Violin, 'by
SALOMON, which was one of. the principal excel-
lencies of the night. The whole was in the best
style of performance, and was: In' os,t warty ap-
