The body of Lord Mum was yefterday morning
taken from the VICTORY, and placed on board the
Chatham yacht, under the direition of Commiffioner
Gtry, at Sheernefs, which proceeded immediately
on her way to Greenwich.
AU the velels, while the yacht was palling, hailed
their colours half matt high and the fort on both
fides the river at Tilbury and Gravefend, fired mi-
nute guns. Many of the veffeh alfo paid the fame
honourable tribute of refpea to the corpfe of our
Naval Chieftain.

GRIMISIIID, DSC. 23.

At half pail eleven this morning, Commiffioner
Gases Yacht of Sheernefs, having on board the
body of the ever to be lamented Lord Nst.soN,
paired by this place. The coffin, covered with an
1 enfign, was placed on the deck. As foon as the
Yacht was defcried, the colaursof the Mips and forts
were hoilled half mall high ; and on her being
abreafi, minute guns were fired from Tilbury Fort
and Gravefend Battery. The bells were tolled, and
afterwards rung a mused peal. The wind being
fcanty and unfavourable, it is conje&ored that the
Yacht could not reach Greenwich until the follow-
ing tide. ..

Coveter GARDE w.—Loft night the Young Itoscrus
made his fir ft appearance at this Theatre for the fee-
fon. It hems he -is to play at the two houfes in al-
ternate weeks. His part on this occafion was ilelosst
in Barliorfa ; a charafter which he performed with
great fpint, and was loudly applauded by a crowded
audience. Mr. HARI:MAYA, however, who played
the part of Borbargra, was not treated with fo much
indulgence. He experienced repeated marks of dif-
approbation, which, at intervals, continued till the
end of the fecond AB, when Mr. MURRAY ftepped
forward and addreired the audience in the following
terms :
" Ladies and Gentlemen, I am dewed to inform you, that Mr.
HA/GRAM finding his efforts fail I.f obtaining your approbation,
has fuddenly withdrawn himfclf from the Theatre. Thus elr-
cumitanced, the Manager has nu alternative. but to intrcat your
permilfien that Mr. OM r3eAti may be alma to read the re-
mainder of the part of Barbara's.
Thib apology WAS received with applaufe, and Mr.
CNAPMAN read the pat t, in which he acquitted him
felt with much credit.
This fudden elopement from the Rage during the
perfot mance, reminds us of a fimilar incident at the
Edinburgh Theatre, as related among the Anecdotes
of the Players—Aft/monger of the name of Stirling,
ambitious of difplaying his powers in the chars der
of Hitflingr, obtained leave from the Manager to
gratify his vanity. When he had advanced nearly
through the firft half of the- part, amid(l catcalls.
bilks, and roars of laughter, he retired, on the fop-
pofition that he would return to finifh what he had
fo ludicroufly begun, when, to the difappointment
of the laughter loving Critics, Mr. BLAND (a very
refpeefable Gentleman, and we believe the uncle of
Mrs. JORDAN) came fuddenly forward, and thus ad-
drefled the audience :

LADIES ANA GENTLEMEN,
ME.SrIEIINO, a very good Fffisssiger, has been fo mach
mortified by your difapprobation of his performance of Ifeihaga,
that ►e has not only made his skips (midday from the Theatre,
but—l vow to God, Ladies and Contendere:2km away with
him Mr. Ross's belt pair of Prettier I !
l is unexpeCted and extraordinary fpeeeh, among
hundreds of Highlander:, produced the loudelt and
moll inceffant laughter and applaVi ever heard in rip
theatre. _

Ce URSING.—In the contfe of lag week died at the
Wold Cottage, the celebrated Greyhound, beetubal.
He was the means of introducing, en the Wolds
of
Yorklhire, a fpecies of Greyhound very fuperinr to
any thing that had before been feen there ; and he
became, in time, the fire of all t?:e bell dogs that are
now turning. The Ilyle of his own running never, 1
perhaps, had an equal, either for fpeed or contieu-
anc e. •
The Maria tranfport, with part of the 38th regi-
ment on board, for whole fafery much fear was enter-
tained, arrived at Portfmouth on Sunday, with feveral
others that had alto troops on board. Among them
is the Atlantic, with a detachment of the German
Legion, heavy dragoons. She was driven t►nder a
battery at Calais, to which,the ftruck, feting there
was no hope of cfcape, the wind blowing hard on the
