Captaia DEAN, of the Prince of Wales packet, who
died lately on his pasEage from Gottenburgh, was
buried on Friday last at Dower Court, Harwich. The
funeral was numerously attended, the bOther seamen
of the deceased being anxious to pay the.lakt tribute
of respect to his memory ; about 500 persons were
present. Six Captains of packets, and twelve seamen
belonging to the Prince of Wales, attended• as chief

The Prince of WALES'S coachman, Mr. CLARIDGE,
was interred on Saturday afternoon, in St. James's
church-yard, on which occasion there was a grand
funeral procession, which passed up St. James's-street.
The pall was upheld by his Royal Highness's foot-
men, and followed by the different footmen, coach-
men, groom, helpers, and jagers of the Prince, in their
state liveries. These were succeeded by the domestics

of their Majesties and the Duke of Yo.rk.
SINGULAR ConmmENcr..—The only two mansions
and estates ever voted by a British Parliament for na-
val and military services, were those of Blenheim, to
JOHN, the first Duke of MARLBOROUGH, and of Tra-
falgar to the relatives of our lamented NELsoN. It is
observable, that in both these cases the Heir Appa-
rent died before hg came of age—the first Marquis of
BLANDFORD while at ;he university, and the first Vis-
count TRAFABGAR iirt his 20th year. It is further ob-
servable, that in consequence of the p,temature de-
cease of each of these young Noblemen, the }amour-
decreed by the nation have passed into the fewals
line. Thus the CHURCHILL honours are vestain: Ite
SPENCRRS, and those of NotsoN are about to pass into

the BOLTON family.
Sunday se'nnight, the friends of three of the fish-
ermiea belonging to Staiths, who were supposed to
have perished in the late storm, which proved so fatal
to several of their companions,. were most joyfully
surprised by their sudden and iihexpected return. It
appears they had been taken up at :sea by a loader
collier; and carried as far as the Swill; near the en-
trance of London River, where meeting with a light
vessel; they took the opportunity of returning in her,
and were put on shore at Scarbite. The vessel which
rescued them from- a watery grave having sprung a
leak, was with difficulty preserved from sinking, by
the united exertions of every person on board ; there
is therefore every reason to believe, that if the crew
had not received this seasonable and providential ad-
dition to their numbers, the ship would have foundered
with them.
COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.—The Oratorios COM-
menced on Saturday evening, with that triumph of
HANDEL'S genius, The Messiah. This sublime com-
position was opened in a most impressive manner by
Mr. BRAIIAM, who execute;) all the airs allotted to
him with a chastenesss congenial to the awful nature
of the subject. Mr. BELLAMY, though a good singer
and performer, appears to more advantage in the
orchestra than on the stage. He enters into the true
spirit of Oratorio music. The animated air " Why
do Me nation: rage ?" was well given by him. Mrs.
DIOLONS fully maintained the high reputation she has
acquired in this line of her profession. She received
great applause in " I know that my Redeemer liveth."
Mrs. BLAND sung the affecting air, "He was dapired,"
with great pathos and expression. The voice of Mrs.
Dussex is of an excellent quality, possessing both
power and sweetness. She was much applauded in
the second part of " He :hall feed hit Jock." Of Miss
BOLTON'S talents for this species of music it would not
be fair to judge from what we heard on Saturday :
some noise from the upper-boxes, rather the effect of
design than accident, threw her
,into an embarrass-
ment which impaired her powers, and prevented her
from doing adequate justice to her air.—The orchestra,
which was excellently composed, was led by Mt..,
I ASHLEY with great spirit, taste, and precision. The
chorus-singers were numerous, and well disciplined.
They gave the " Hallelujah" with astonishing forte
and effect. It was universally encored.—The house
was crowded in every part. Their Royal Highnesses
the. Dukes of CAMBRIDGE and CUMBERLAND were pre-
sent 3 and were so much delighted witlithoeireution,
that they remained tct the end. -A 1, •
REFUGE FOR THY DESTITUTE. -I:We dre anxious

lent Institution. At their public Dinner given on

his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK presided, and.

6501. Upon the health of the President being pro-.
posed, he returned his thanks in a neat and concise

cordial interest in the promotion of the ebject of this
Society. We understand his Royal Highnem to have

faint's,. We learn that a Pamphlet, detailing the
