BATH CONCERTS.

ON Wednesday .last Mrs. StcoNO made her first
appearance at the aboVe Concerts, after a secession
of several years, which we hear sho has employed
in cultivating a voice -remarkable for power, ex.;
tent, • and brilliancy of tone. In this Nursery of
.the Arts, .in this Place of exquisite refinement,
which has fostered so many Bright Stars in the
Theatrical Hemisphere, did this Lady first solicit
Public Patronage, and in the Music of our immor-
tal HANDEL, was even then considered a great ac.
quisition to the Musical World. Her atchieve-
ments in the Metropolis since that pet loci; are too
-well known to require any observations on our
part, 'and we have only time to say, her perform-
ance did not disappoint the expedations that -were
raised in her favour. Mrs. S. certainly possesses
first-rate talents, • and, as a Correspondent informs
us, this modest Singer is, even now enjoying the
benefit ofßAtrzziNi's instrthions : in the hands of
that great Musician, and able Master, we have no
doubt'but she will ultimately acquire, unrivalled ex-
cellence. She was received like an old Friend, and
sang an Italian Bravura, which appeared more cal_
culated to shew her execution,' and great compass
of voice, than to produce a pleasing effeEl ; and al-
though it was admirably accompanied by Bitootts,
we understand it did'not receive as much applause
as it deserved; but in a Cantabile, or mezzo Bra..
vura, she. completely laid hold of the Audience,
and executed it with so much refined taste and feel-
ing, that the unquestionable marks of approbation
we find she received from her Royal Highness the
DUTCHESS of YORK and'her Suite, proved her ef_
forts were crowned with success.

Mr. ERSKINE used to be the great Advocate on
the , Prosecution side in all Crim. Con. Cases, but
Mr. GAR ROW acquitted himself so ably in behalf
of the Plaintiff in a recent Cause, that it is probable
the former, will hereafter be chiefly employed in tilt
way of miti4atiett.

The fads agreed Upon in the present instance
were these :—That on the 3d of September, 1800,
the Defendant, being Owner of three fourth parts
of the ship Theseus, and being also the Ship's
Husband, and having the sole management of her,
chartered her to one Samuel Saunders, to proceed to
Riga fer a cargo- of round masts, timber and logs
for stowage, with which she'was to return to Ports_
,mouth, and for which freight was to be paid at the
rate of 51. is. per load for the round masts, and 41.
for the logs and timber, half on the delivery of the
cargo, and the remainder in four months; 3o run-
ning days to be allowed for loading at Riga, and 25
for unloading at Portsmouth, with to days demur-
rage at each place, at rot. per day. That. on the
loth and 16th of September 1800, the Defendant
caused Policies of Insurance to be effeeted on three-
fourths_of tl)e ship, valued at 24001. at and from
Portsmouth to Riga, Which Policies were underwrit-
ten to the. full amount. That on the 31st ofoEtober
the Defendant, for himself, and his Agent, effeled a
Policy on the freight at and from Riga to Portsmouth,
for 14001, of which ioool. was declared to be on
his three-fourths, and the remaining '4OOl. on the
other fourth. That the value of the ship was
32001. and of the freight 22001. and there was
no other insurance on the ship or freight. That
the ship sailed, the Captain having received orders
from the freighters to apply to Messrs. Cummins,
Fenton, and Co. at Riga, by whom on his arrival
he was supplied with a cargo, nearly the whole of
which was taken on hoard, when on the 7th of No-
vember, 1800, an embargo was laid by the Rus
sian Government on• all ships in Riga. The other
fads in the case were, that onthe 29th of November
the Captain and Crew were marched under a Rus.
sian guard rso miles up the country ; the Ship taken

The Chepewyan Indians believe, that immedi-
ately after their death, they pass into another world,
where they arrive at a large River, on which
they embark in a stone Canoe, and that a gentle
current bears them to an extensive lake, in the
centre of which is a most beautiful Island and
that in the view of this delightful abode, they
ceive that judgment for their conduft during lifet
which terminates their final state and allotment;
If their good alions ,are declared to predominate;
they are landed upon the island, where there is to
ballband of their happiness ; which, however, ac-
cOrding.tei their notions, consists in an eternal en,
joyment of sensual pleasure and carnal gratification.
But if their bad actions weigh, down the balance,
the stone canoe sinks at once, and leaves them up
to their Chins in the water, to behold and regret the
reward enjoyed by the good, and eternally 3 trug-
gling„ but with unavailing endeavours, to reach the
blissful island from which they are excluded for ever.
