HAYMARKET THEATRE.—A new Entertain-
ment, called the Sixty-third Letter, was on Satur-
day night brought forward at this Theatre. It is
written by Mr. PRINCE HOARE, and the mufic is
by Dr. AANot°. It was extremely well received,
chiefly in confequence of the exertions of Jour/-
STONE and Fawcrr-r, who have two very whim.
fiat' charafters :aligned to them. The Plot, if the
Rory can be called one, is infignificant ; and the
mufic is far from being in the compofer's ufual
ft y le.

KENTISH BowmEN.—Saturday was the day ap-
pointed for the grand annual meeting of the Ken.
tifh Bowmen, at their Lodge, on Dartford Heath,
near Dartford ; but on account of the fudden in.
difpofition of the Duchefs of DEVONSHIRE, and the
engagements of a number of other noble perfon-
ages who intended honouring the meeting with
their pretence, it was, in compliment jutlly due to
the Duchefs, and thofe ladies who were to accom
pany her, put off till next Saturday. The So-
ciety, however, did not lofe the enjoyment of the
fine day : they met very numeroutlf and enjoyed
the (ports of the field. At five o'clock they fat
down to a very fumptuous dinner in their long
room, which was ferved up in a molt elegant ftyle
by feveral eminent cooks, who were conveyed er
prefsly for the occafion in a poll-chaife from Lon-
don. After the cloth was taken off, the celebrated
grace of " Non nal: Domine," was fung in a very
finifhed ftyle by feveral profellional Gentlemen
from London, who were engaged in confequence
of the expelled honour of the company of her
Grace and her friends. The Gentlemen likewife
entertained the company with feveral excellent
fongs, catches and glees.
The perfon known by the name of M. de Ver-
dun, whom our Readers mull have remembered
about the ftreets of London, for a great number
of years, wearing a little bag wig and a large
cocked hat, and carrying an umbrella, died last
week of a cancer in the breaft, being it appears a
female; though (he always wore a mafculine ha-
bit. By papers found in her apartments, it kerns
(he was the natural daughter of the late King of
Pruffia, and came to England with Madame
Schwellenberg, Miflrefs of the Robes to her Ma-
jetty. It is underftood the was once in poffeMon
of property to the amount of hoool. which, trull-
ing in the hands of a foreign banker who failed,
(he entirely loft. She has once fubfilltd by teach-
ing foreign languages, but is underflood to have
lived very abftemioufly. In her lodgings a num-
ber of valuable fuits of cloaths have been found,
in which (he ufed, till within there few years, to at-
tend at Court on gala days in the male charaaer,
having never been known in any other fince her
refadence in this country, except to her patronefs ;
her external form was, however, fuch as almoft to
have caufed a fufpicion of the real fait. The ea-
femble of her figure, when decorated in its ufual
parapharnalia, was whimfically grotefque.
EPATGIATIONS TO AMERlCA.—Emigrations to
the Weftern Continent from the northern parts of
Ireland and from the Highlands of Scotland. are
continued to an extent fo alarming as to call for
the immediate confideration of the Government.

Upwards of eighteen hundred perfons have failed
from Londonderry, Belfall, &c. for America, fine
the beginning of June, and Rill greater numbers
are preparing to follow as foon as they can provide
means for their tranfportation.

A Scotch Journalswhich we received yefterday,
#4;ntains the following article—" On Saturday
three veffels failed from Fort William with emi-
grants for America. It is lamentable to think,
there are no lefs than twelve !hips engaged for the
Weft Highlands, which mutt carry off fourteen
or fifteen hundred of thofe deluded wretches from
their native country. Before they had been three
hours at tea, tome of the poor creatures oh Satur-
day came and Aced one of the tailors if the land
they faw was America ? which thews what an idea
they have of their voyage.".

NEW DUCKS, BLACKIFYILL.

It appears that eight perfons have loft their lives
in confeqnence of the accident at the Welt-India
Wet-Docks. Three of the bodies Rill rent in un-

dircovered notwith(anding every fearch has been
made for them. One of the perfons miffing is
a Mr. Brut', the brother of the Superintendant of
the works. The fate of this young man is pecu-
liarly lamentable, for had he remained in the Etna-
don in which he was when the water built the

dam, he would in all probability have raved his
life : he was not down at work at the bottom of

the bafon, as the rel were, but was on a part of
the dam ;troll, which the water did not reach,

In his fright. upon the alarm being given, he ran,
down and the torrent immediately overtook him:

Comma's INQ,yssr.—An Inquilition was held
on Saturday, at two o'clock, at the fign of the
Ming Smack, Poplar, before EDWARD WALTERS,
El+ his Majefly's Coroner for the Ea(kern ,De-
partment of Middlefer, on view of the bodies of
Edirard Pedlington, James Wood, Michael For,
William Cal-coigne, and John Butcher.
Mr. Thatcher, one of the Contraeurs belong-
ing to the Docks, Rated his knowledge of the per-
fons deceafed. They were employed about the
works as Labourers—one of them, Pedlington,had
worked for him many years. At the time the ac- '
cident happened there were about 4o people em.
played in removing the earth between the two
coffre-darns Mr. Bruff, whole body had not yet

been found, aded as the foreman. The dam was
made with piles, and on the outride in the River
Thames, there were fome ballaff lighters at work.
It ftruck him the dam was in a (tate of danger,
and he informed Mr. Bruff, the deceafed, of his

apprehenfions ; he went away, and at feven o'clock
news were brought him that the Coffre-dam had
blown up, and that fever al perfons had loft their
lives ; he proceeded to the fpot, and found the re-
port confirmed.
William Kent, Mafter.Bailiff, Paid, it was his
bufinefs to attend to the works as they were go-
ing on, and for that purpofe he was conffantly on
the fpot, but particularly at the Coffre dam. In
the courfe of laft week he was apprehenfive the
works were dangerous, and that a great deal of
injury might be done to the level. He accordingly
thought it his duty to call a Committee of theCom-
miffioners of Sewers, and had every part of the
_ _

• .
place infpeded. No order was made by the Cora.
mittee, Mr. Jeffop and Mr. Walker, the Survey-
ors, attended. They Paid they would flake their
exiltence, or forfeit their lives, or words to that
effect, if any thing difagreeable happened : they
were fully confident the works were perfeellyfafe.
The Commiflioners yielded to their opinion, and
departed, contenting themfelves only with defir.
ing him, the witnefs, to pay every poffible at-
tention to the place. It was between twelve and
one o 'clock on Thurfday morning, when the Com-
mittee fat. The witnefs informed the Commiffion•
ers he fhould not leave Blackwall during the flow-
ing of the tides, as, notwithftanding the opinions
of Surveyors he Rill entertained his fiifpicions.
About ten minutes before feven of the fame day,
the tide being nearly at its height, the witnefs was
Banding by the crane.poll, and was looking to-
wards the South coffre•dom, when he obferved the
head of one of the piles decline towards the river.
He inftantly called out to the people who were at
work below, at a depth of about 3o feet, exclaim-
ing, " For GOD'S fake come up, the coffre-dam is
blown." The people ran in all diredions ; the
water ruched in with a dreadful noife, and clothing
againft the gates,returned by the eattern wall, and
swept away all who had not had time to get up.—
The bafon in an inttant filled to the depth of 22
feet; fame, by the violence of the torrent were
forced againft the piles, andjammed between them.
He was perfuaded molt of thofe who were loft had
been driven to the corner at the end of the eattern
wall, and in fad all the bodies that had been found
were lying on that fpot. The witnefs added, that
all pradicable affluence was afforded to prevent
the lois of the workmen, and he was furprifed,
confidering how inftantaneons the effect of the
inundation was, that more lives had not been loft.
The Coroner thought it totally unneceffary to
occupy the time of the Jury in the examination of
any more evidence. It was evident that the lots
of the deceafed's lives could only be attributable to
accident. The Surveyors were not in the leaft de.
gree to blame, They had no doubt given that
opinion which was prompted by their conception
of their duty. Human nature was liable to error,
and they, notwithftanding their experience, and
profellional knowledge, had fatally erred in this
inflance. It was their misfortune, but not their
fault. He did not fee how the Jury could return
any other verdid than that of accidental death ;
at the fame time it was not his ptovince to decide;
if they entertained a different opinion, they were
free to declare it.

One of the Jurymen obferved, that with refped
to the Surveyors, 'no men could more fincerely re-
gret the accident that had happened than they
mutt. Of Mr. Walker he could particularly fpeak
as a man diflinguifhed for his humanity and kind-
ncfs to all employed under him.
Tht Jury converfed fome time among them-
felves, and returned a Verdi& of Accidental Death
as to all the perfons who were the objetts of the •
Inquifition.
The unfortunate men had many vifible marks
of bruifes, wounds, and hat:tures, in confequence
of the water having driven them againft the fides
of the dock and piles forming the dam.
The Coroner ifrued his warrant for their burial:
their bodies have been claimed by !their refpc4tive
friends.
