The following dreadful accident happened to the
SIR EDWARD HAMILTON, rice fhip, bound to Ben-
Ral :—The (hip SIR. EDWARD HAMILTON, Captain
OBERTSON, in lat. 46. 44. S. and 4o E. long. was
(truck by lightning, which carried away the fore-
top gallant malt, fhivered the fore-top-malt and
fore-cap, and went through the deck, abrealt of
the fore-malt. It then fpread below, fetting fire
to the failors' hammocks, wrenching all the iron
from their chelts, and taking a direetion aft into
the. cabin, went off among the arms which were
in that part of the (hip with a dreadful explofion
Captain ROBERTSON and the crew, who fortunately
were on deck furling every fail (it blowing a hur-
ricane at the moment), thought the fhip blown
up ; but the fmoke and fulphureous fmell having
fubfided, they found (he was (lilt above the waves,
and, by timely and fpirited exertions, they were
fuccefsful in extinguithing the flames. The light-
ning burnt all the fails in the fore-top, killed the
hogs, Melted the cooking utenfils in the galley, and
knocked down all the men who were in the fore
part of the fhip ; but none were killed, though a
number of them were blind for fome days, and
have not yet perfeetly recovered the ufe of their
fight.—The gale; during which this alarming ac-
cident happened, lifted for Come days, and was
uncommonly fevere.

THULIUM, MU RY.LAllz.—Lalt night the tra-
gedy of The Fair fewest, which we believe has not
been performed fince the death of Mr. Jones
PALMA, who was fo admirable in Lotbario, WAS
revived, when Mr. CHeatts Musts perfonated
the gay feducer, but in a manner which will add
little to his reputation as an aetor ; his delineation
of the charafter being throughout more after the
coftume of Bond-ftreet, than of 44 proud Genoa."
It muft indeed have been difficult, without the fe-
vere obfervations of Horatio, for the audience to
have conceived that Caryla could have become
44 the prey of fuch a thing." The taylor, howe-
ver, had done all he could for him, which cannot
be (aid of lieret.'o, who was dreffed from top to
toe a-la Monmouth-ftreet. Mr. JoHH K mime,
however, gave the part much force in particular
pelages though he evidently laboured under a
fevere cold. Mrs. SIDDONS'S Cafifla has loft nothing
of its original excellence; and WROUGH TON'S
Seiobo is a very dignified performance. Baiter-
stoat's Ammons is well enough. The houfe, last
, night, was refpatably filled at an early hour.

Swaim's Srome.—Near eight hundred years
have elapfed fince a monument, under the above
appellation, was erefted near Forres, in .Scotland,
by King MALCOLM. Its infcription confined of two
lines ; but as each letter was an initial only of a
Latin word, antiquarians were long puzzled con-
cerning the true hiftory of this Rone. An intelli-
gent Gentleman, however, in antient infcriptions,
has lately developed it, finding the initials to figni-
fy as follows

Lege obis W Win hieroglyphlete,
In noaro Regno eztinalosein SWINONZ Invafionie.
Thus tranflated--4, Underftand that the Hiero-
glyphics of this obelilk reprefent the extinetion of
the invafion under Sweno."

The letters L. 0. H. H. compote the firil line,
and are all Roman Capitals, except the 0. The
letters of the fecoad line, viz. i. n. r. e. s. i. are
common letters, but of the fame fize with the ca-
pitals as the &ft line. The Obeli& has four faces,
two of which meafure its breadth, and the other
two its thicknefs ' • and the infcription is about four
feet higher than the pavement. The monument
(lands on the above mentioned fpot, becaufe the
Danes had attempted to form their fettlement in
this quarter, and where indeed they gave battle to
and defeated the Scots, previous to their ultimate
expulfion.

A letter from White-haven, dated Feb. 9, fags,
We had an extraordinary high tide here on Thurf-
day. At noon, it covered the market place, and
occafioned a good deal of inconvenience. Much
danger was apprehended from the fucceeding tide,
but the wind having fhifted, and alfo confiderably

peaed.—The tide had nearly broken in to Chapel
Bank Colliery, at Workington.
