INDIAN PRIZE-MONEY.
The followiog is a copy of the Official Order by which the dis-
tlintion of East Indian Prize-money is regulated:
' '4 AU booty captured from an enemy by the Company's troops
dime, becomes the property of the Company, by virtue of the let-
ters patent hem the Crown, dated 14th of January, 1758. AN
lusty captured from an enemy by a force of which his Majesty's
sears forma part, is the property of the Crown ; and no right to
*rant of such booty is in either case vested in the troops cap-
e:slog It, ezeept by special grant from the Court of Directors In the
Rut Cue, or the Crown in the second. The Court, therefore, have
guldvely directed that no booty taken from an enemy should be
Caned or considered as lawful prize, or the proceeds thereof in any
way appropriated or distributed, without their previous sanction
(er that of the Crown, in cases where the Royal sanction is legally
requisite) ; but that all such booty, or the value arising from the sale
eh, be set apart and deposited in their treasuries, and a correct ac-
count taken of it, and transmitted to them by the earliest practica-
ble opportunity, to await their decision, or the decision of the
Crown, u the case may require."
iIAYMARKE7' THEATRE.

A new Piece, in two acts, called Tribulation ; or,
Untockome Visitors, was produced last night. It is
rather what the French call a petite comedic than a farce,
and bears some resemblance in its general character to
Simpson and Co. without being in the slightest degree
an imitation in story or construction. It is understood,
indeed, like that popular Afterpiece, to be taken from
the French, and by the same writer, Mr. PooLe. The,
foundation oldie plot may be briefly described. In itsl
developement it presents a eerie: of capital equivoques
and ludicrous situations. Mr. Dorrington (DomTott)
is a person who has retired from business, and resides
with his wife (Mrs. Davtaow) in the country, but has.
visited London in quest of an appointment to a Cons-
taissieuship. On the drawing up of the curtain he is
discovered sitting with Mrs. Dorringtos and her cousin
Forrester (Barring)), taking their wine after dinner.
He expresses, aide, a wish to Fbrreskr to get out in
search of some of the nocturnal amusements in which
be indulged in former times. Forrester promises to
see some of his friends, and return with intelligence.
Dorringtos is now assailed by his wife with entreaties
to allow her to receive a Mrs. Mortimer, of whose cha-
racter he has no very favourable opinion. The Lady
arrives in the midst of the argument : he gives way,
and Mrs. Dorrington meets Mrs. Mortimer in another
room. In the course of a conversation between these
Ladies, it turns out that the present name of Mrs
Mortimer is Dashinore, the other name having been
only used for a certain time. Mrs. Dashmore is a senti-
mental Lady, who weeps at the death of her monkey,
and did not play any game but whist for sis weeks
after her husband's death. The object of this visit is to
invite Mrs. Dor,ing,ton to an ex-timpore party of some
seventy or eighty ; and a hint that Mr. DorriAgton, who
has never seen her, and knows her only under the name
of Mortimer, has objected to his wife's vi,iting her,
renders her the more determined to accomplish her
purpoe. By mingled persuasion and ridicule she suc-
ceeds in obtaining Mrs. Dorrington's promi e to attend
if her husband should go out. Forrester new arrive!,
itnd conducts Mr. Dorringtoa to the widow Dashmore's

as a place Where they ma; find some ameiement. The
husband and wife are thus nadir the. same roof, urs.
known to each other, the one taking the name of
Jenkins, and the other remaining lacers:to. Here Mrs.
Dorringtea is persecuted with the addresses of Sir
George Fiddle (Vilma)), and at length escapes, unseen
by her husband, under the care of Forrester. This
escape, however, gives rise to new embarrassment, for,
it is observed by Mr George and the widow, who are
unacquainted with ,the real motives and relative situ-
ation* of the parties, and they found on it the most
scandalous conclusions. The second set takes place in
the apartment of Derringtos, in Forrester's house.—
The mutual embarraisment of Derriagton and his
wife, the arrival of Sir George, and of the widow ; and
a same of cross-purposes nneurained with on:emitting
arm keep the spirit of merriment alive, until' the
' piece ends with an explanation and confession by Dor.
sinews, and contrition wifhout confession on the part
of tis Lady. All this was admirably performed, and
the Piece was announced for repetition, amidst eovdial
and unanimous plAudits. The House was well attended.
A melancholy accident happened on Thursday mim-
ing, about eight o'clock, in Albany-street, Notch Leith ;
a number of men have been employed - for some time
in sinking a well there, and after having sunk to the
depth of Cony lett without obtaining water, they then
bored to the Lather depth of silty feet; and as two
of them were so employed at the bettor* of the melt,
it filled with foul air, when um eof them was fortunately
got out without receiving moth injury ; last the. other,'
James Cleugli, was not got up until ot;:tivn
flouts; heta he ores quite. dted. ,no it Vis* "

SHOCKING CATASTROPHE.

ra.l sj;
Between eight and nine **Jock, yesterday events%
a melancholy and distressing catastrophe occurred in
one of the Tunnels (situated in the direction of Lissou
Grove) belonging to the Paddington Canal. One, aL
she country barges, from Rickmansworth, was obsetitecl
to approach the Canal Tunnel, proceeding towards
Pickford's Basin, when the Captain, named Watson,
and some of the crew, got out to conduct the horses
round to the other end; the barge then entered the
Tunnel, having three young men, named Thos. Russell,'
William George, and Williams, to navigate it,
through. Watson waited some time with his horses,:
and eventually the barge came rushing through the
Tunnel without ally person on board. An alarm was 4
given instantly, and several boats being procured, a,
number of men, having torches, &c. entered the Tunnel,
and about midway found Russell, neatly exhausted,
clinging to a plank, but his comra.!es had sank to rise
no more. The drags were put in teqUisition, and the
body of George was shortly after found, in a dreadful
state, having evidently been crushed : the other man's
body was not f .und, and probably was carried away
by the current. Russell accounts for the accident by say;
ing they were working the barge through with their feet,
as is the customary practice, lying at the time on a
plank, as the height of the tunnel does not admit of
their standing up, when, by some means the plank*
"tilted pp and they all fell into the water, when George
and Williams uttered s loud cry, and he saw them no
mote. It was the opinion of some of the navigators
that the unfortunate men had drank a quantity of 'Bur-
ton ale which was on board, and got intoticated, and
in that state fell into the water, as' he .upsetting of a
plank with them lying on it was considered impossible.
The body of. George was removed to the Nightingale
public-house, Paddington, for the Coroner'i Inquest.

IsLamps Drecoveaep.—The Francis and Charlotte,
arrived at Singapore from the north-west coast of
America, discovered three islands on her passage.—
The following is an extract from the Master's log :
At day-light, on Ale 26th of May, saw three islands. bearing
no north by compass, distant eight or nine leagues. They are
Ism laid down in my of the latest charts, nor mentioned hr any
Modern work. Their, aim appeared small, and their height mo-
derine : the one mast' western appeared N. the horizon like a
W ; the oaten, undulating and lOwer. The most esst-
intlinsiire largest : • the distance between them two or three
aim in an east north-sae sad west southwest direction. We
awl a good sight for the chronometer at 7 a.m. which plasm the
Allinis rlong. 114. 44 and the latitude (of this we aim
be Telly certain) abum 18. 11. north.
Probably the latitude is nearly correct, as they had
an observation at noon, and the ship had been 'running
due west. There can be no doubt of theAsinitSde,
as Captain Jousisotes chronometers are so *valid's'
after-being five months without an opplrtunity °Las-
certaining their rate, he made Pedro Breen' to -U.
