Unca, Ocr. IL—Tuesday last, about noon, as the brig Sober,
Captain Joss, of Driver, was proceeding down the Humber in
ballast, for Sunderland, she was caught in such a heavy squall
:off Clea Neu, that she immediately capsized and sunk, and all
hands on hoard perished. A collier brig lying near, sent a boat
instantly to render any assistance, but it was unfortunately too
late. The tafferel of the vessel is seen at lbw water.. Monday
se'nnight, about half-past five o'clock, a.m. the Mercurius, &MOON,
from this port for Amsterdam, with goods, was wrecked on the
Yorkshire coast. The persons on board. consisting of the Master,
his wife. three men, a boy, Mr. Jones FAIRS, of Sheriff Hill, and
Mr. Jastes lloastre, of Gateshead, passengers, were happily
saved in the boat, and were taken up and treated with the greatest
kindness by the Fortune, of North Shields, Captain M. Thermo-
scut, after being six hours and a half tossed about, and vainly
endeavouring to reach the land. The Mercurius had sprung a
leak, and it was found impossible to overcome it by pumping.
There wad another vessel near, to which a signal of distress was
exh!hired, but the people on board took no notice of it, and the
boat was scarcely clear before the Mercurius went down. Cap-
tain ITtrettiesos. on coming in sight, instantly attended to the
Rig of distress. which one of the sailors in the boat made of his

OCIIBER I.s.—Tbe Ellison arrived last night from Davis
Strai-s, with nine fish,l2o tuns, and brings an account that most
of the ships outstanding belonging to the different ports had im-
pvris:2 their succa-:ko-, paving fallen in with fish in the month
of September, after the other ships had left the Fishery. The
ships alluded to consisted of about 15 sail, and found the fish in
lat. 68. to 69. on the west side of Davis' Straits.
NEWCA.TLE, OCT. 15.—The heavy gales from the west and
south-west, t!.c early part of last week, placed the fishermen
on our Cea,s in f;rcat clanger ; and we lament to add, that in one
instance they proved :.ital to a member of that industrious class.
On Surday selimight many of the fishermen of Hartlepool pro-
ctedcd to sea, and among others James Harrison, aged 7,2, ac-
comp; nied by a young man named John White. When off
Black Halls Rocks, about six o'clock on Monday morning,
White requested Harrison to assist him in changing the position
of their sail, which he thought exposed them to -danger ; Har-
rison observed it would do very well. Scarcely had he uttered
these wards, when a tremendous wave approached them ; White
foresaw what was to happen, and he seized the oars—the wave
struck the coble, which it filled with water, and knocked Har-
rison overboard. lie sunk to rise no more ! White felt the
cubic go down beneath him, and he floated out of it with the
assistance of the oars; hut these were soon knocked away from
him by another stroke of the sea. White was now placed in a
ai!vation of imminent peril, but he had presence of mind suffi-
cient to seize the bowl or dand,• which he placed under one
arm, and by means of the other drew towards. him seven Mad,
tiers, affixed as floats to their fishing nets ; by the aid of these
buoyant materials he contrived to keep himself above water.
Araer remaining in this situation for about three-quarters of an
iSour he was fortunately discovered by the crew of another boat,
and taken back to Ilartlepool in safety. Harrison has left a
widow, and a daughter by a former marriage.

with air, through which passes a stick, having at the upper end

time to effect their escape, before the entire of the
house was in flames. Several engines art ived, which
being well supplied with water, confined the fire to
the premises where it broke out; the entire of the
house and back premises, together with the stock in
trade, furniture, &c. were destroyed. How the fire
Originated is unknown.
An alarming and destructive fire broke out this
morning, at half•past three o'clock, in the house of
Mr. Cotvls, dealer in chandlery, Rosemary-lane,
which soon communicated to the houses of Mr.

Powis, hatter; Mr. COWER, clothier; and Mr. HAG-
GERTY, piece-broker, which it much damaged, as well
as two or -three houses more, before it was eatin-

guished. The rapidity of the flames prevented any
property from being saved, and the want of water,
on its first breaking out, was much felt. As soon as
it was obtained, the exertions of the firemen were
such as to succeed in stopping the further extension
of the flames. It is reported that the fire originated
from some nightmen having left a lighted candle in
' the cellar, which set fire to some loose straw, and
thus caused the dreadful accident.

About three o'clock yesterday morning the pre-
mises of J. Lunnstrs, Esq. of 51, Burton-crescent,
were entered, and a quantity of plate stolen ; the plate
consisted principally of a wine•strainer, table and tea-
spoons, the latter bearing the initials J. 11. L. The,
premises were entered by forcing open the door of
the back kitchen. The thieves laid a cloth in the
kitchen, with as much form as if they had been in-
vited to supper; they ate the remains of a hare, with
part of a ham, and some cold veal, which they found
in the pantry, they also helped• themselves to two
bottles of Madeira. They left the whole of the flip-
per things except the' plate. There were three wine
glasses used, so it is supposed there were three thieves.

The Bath Gazette states, that one of the Bristol
ccaches, on its way to Bath, was recently robbed of
a Banker's parcel, containing three remittances. The
supposed robber got into the coach at Bristol, and left
it on the bridge at the entrance into Bath. Although
the robbery was discovered within five minutes after
he had left the coach, yet the fellow escaped.

A Coroner's Inquest was held on Monday night
last, at the City of Quebec Tavern, Wapping Wall,
on the body of Thomas Bassett, late a seaman on
board the Georgiana. The first witness stated, that
on Monday morning last Bassett was on board the
Georgiana„ then lying off Bell's Wharf Staits. A
heavy gale arose, and forced another ship alongside
the Geo' giana. The latter ship's boat was then driven
between the two vessels, and Bassett leaped into her,
for the purpose of getting her out, when a sudden
gust drove the ships together, and as the sides of the
vessels came in contact with each other, Bassett was
crushed to death between them. Verdict—" Acci-
dental Death."
A curious Parliamentary Paper was ordered to be
printed towards the close of the Session, and is now
before the Publie., entitled " An account of the num-
ber of causes tried before the several Quarter Sessions
of Ireland, during the last five years; distinguishing
causes respecting ' Subtraction of Tithes,' during the
last five years" And also "An account of the num-
ber of causes tried by citation before the Ecclesiastical
Courts of Ireland, from January, 1815, to sth Janu-
ary, 1822, inclusive ; distinguishing each year, and
also distinguishing ' Tithe causes.'" This paper was to
serve principally as a magazine of materials wherewith
to batter dow n the fast dct;ay ing tithe system of Ireland:.
and the enemies of that system may no doubt con.
gratulate themselves en the abundance of that sort of
ammunition which has been furnished. A very large
,share of the litigation which has taken place before
the County and Diocesan Tribunals •of Ireland, may
be-traced to the oppression of the Ate Law, or to
the odiousness of the contributions which it entotees ;
that is, either to the extreme poverty, or to the sullen
exasperation, of the People. But the number of suits
for tithe is small when compared with the mass of
blood which they generate.

The ?eel, en of the Tyne have not yet settled their
dispute with the coal-owners of that neighbourhood ;
w.,id the local troops which went on duty on the 7th
instant, for eight days, have received orders to con-
tinue their services.

40 men, which plundered us of two gun-carriages

board part of our sarsaparilla and logwood."

the whole was loudly encored.
Mr. Teary afterwards appeared, and delivered the
following Address (from the pen of Mr. COLNIAN)
with great force and success. It was received with
wonderful approbation, and well merited the loud
plaudits and the hearty laughter that followed almost
every-line:

Since Theatres so oft in this our time
Are launcled upon the town with solemn rhyme,
Thoughts ready-made, to fit the theme are found,
Like last year's tunes on barrel-organs ground;
And Poets furbish, in the bathos style,
Old tropes and figures for the new-built pile.
The Sock and Buskin named, the Muses follow—
The Opera always prefac'd with APOLLO;
But Architecture's claims when we enforce,
Vtraueics and PALLADIO come of course ;
Till, after a long dance through Greece and Rome,
To DATDII4, OTWAY. CONODEVE, getting home,
We end with SBAKSPLA KZ'S Ghost still boleti:lg on our dome!
Alas! how vainly will our modern fry
Strive with the old leviathans to vie!
How foolishly comparison provoke
With lines that Jounson writ and Gwainct spoke.
Abandon we a strain, without more fuss,
Which, when attempted, has abandon'd us;
And let us guiltless be, however dull,
Of murdering the " sublime and beautiful"
Thus then our Manager, who scouts the fears
Of pulling an OW House about his ears,
Has spared of our late edifice's pride
The outward walls, and little else beside:
Anxious has been that labour to complete
Which makes magnificence and comfort meet ;
Anxious that multitudes may sit at ease,
And scantier numbers in no desert freeze—
That ample space may mark the lib'ral plan,
But never strain the eyes or ears of man. •
Look round and judge;—his efforts all are waste,
Unless you stamp them as a work of taste ;
Nor blame him for transporting from his floors
'Those old offenders here—the two Stage-dnors—
Doors which have oft with burnisied pannels stood,
And golden knockers glittering in a wood,
Which on their posts through ev'ry change remaln'd,
Fast as Bray's Vicar, whosoever reign'd ;
That served fur palace, cottage, street, or ball,
Used for each place, and out of place in all;
Station'd, like watchmen, who in lamplight sit,
For all their business of the night unfit.
So much for visual sense ;—what follows next
Is chiefly on the histrjonic text :
And our Adventurer has toil'd to store
His list of favourites with some favourites more;
Sought planets roving from their former sphere,
And fixed, as stars the brilliant wanderers here;
To Drury's Luminaries added light,
And made his sky with constellations bright.
Rich the repast—and may, we trust, insure
The custom of the scenic Epicere.
E'en I, although among the last and least,
May pass, perhaps, as garnish to the feast.
As for our living Dramatists, if now
The genuine Bays disdain to deck their biBW,
Still they can please, and as they're dull, or clever,
You patronize, or damn, the same as ever :
For each degree of talent, after 'II,
Must here, by your decision, rise or fall!
After these introductions, which afforded a well-I
pleased audience the opportunity of applauding the
wonders around them, accomplished in fifty-eight!)
days, the Play, which was most appropriately one)
9f SHERIDAN'S, commenced. It was the School for
Scandal. The Managers, in selecting this elegant
Piay for representation, have not only paid a flatter-
ing. compliment to public taste, but have also showed
their reverence for departed genius, by bringing for-
ward on this conspicuous occasion, the production of
a man.whoe name will be long associated with this
Theatre. The several performers were warmly greeted
as they appeared, and they were thus stimulated to
exert themselves with more than their customary ef-
fect. Mr. DoviroN, on appearing as Sir Oliver, was
received in the most flattering. manner; and where he
said, referring to his absence in India, that though he
had experienced some crosses, he was nevertheless to-
lerably well, the audience applied the language to
himself with most marked applause: Mr. ELLISTON,
the Charles Surface of the evening, was alio warmly'
applauded on his first appearance, and, he was so elel'
vated by the cheering scene which he beheld, that it is
many a day since we saw him play with so much atten-
tion and ability, yet with so much ease. Mr. GIBBON
sang the song, Here's to the maiden of bashful fifteen,
admirably, and was loudly applauded. Mr:GLOVER'S
4frS. ardor was matchlessly performed. Sholtnade

which a Gentietuari, named Miami, made his first
appearance on any Stage, in the character of Deritot.
His voice possesses sweetness, and, as far as we could
judge, allowing for the disadvantages attendant on a
lira appearance, and the confusion naturally arising
from a literally overflowing audience, he is not devoid
.of science or power. He wa.s encored in his first song,
" Sleep on, sleep on, my Kathleen dear." His recep-
tion was highly favourable. Madame VEstats, as
Patrick, fascinated, as usual, not only her Norah, but
the audience. She was rapturously received, and
-encored in several of her songs. Miss COPELAND'S
Katbicen was a spirited and judicious performance:
this deserving Actress improves rapidly in the esti-
mation of the Public. With the powerful aid of NIG-
H ARLEY'S Darby, and Miss FORD'S Norah, this fa-
vourite Opera went off with the greatest eclat. It is
impossible for us to close our observations without
again adverting to the decorations of the House,
which, whether we consider the chasteness of the de-
signs, or the splendour of the ornaments, cannot be
surpassed for brilliancy and magnificence. And when
to these ate added the weight and talent of the Com-
pany engaged, it is but justice to say that the Pto-
prietor has, by his exertions, rendered the Establish-
ment worthy even the Metropolis of the British Em-
pire ; and we trust he has insured for himself drat
portion of public support which he is so justly entitled
to claim at the hands of a British Public. •

The races on Friday were well contested, and concluded by
a hack race, which afforded considerable sport. After the ba4.
Dm on the turf, there was a rowing match on the river, for a
purse, which occasioned much amusement. The company og
the two first days of the racss was very thin, owing n, tkoh to
the badness of the weather ; but we have seldom seen to gtedt
an assemblage as on the Friday; the day having broke up fine
caused a general tuni-out, and the sport was excellent.

BOXING.
Yesterday was a busy one at this fanciful game, and it was a
rare manly battle between Sans Tibbett, a pupil of Josh Hud-
son, and Aachen, designated the Somers Town Champion. It
was for 40 sovereigns, and took place near the Maypole, on Ep.
ping Forest. The seconds were Josh Hudson and Tom Owen,
for Tilibet ; and Harry Holt and rum Oliver for Jackson. •
ROUND I.—The men turned to with much earnestnes', bent
for mischief. They hit each other to a stand-still, and Jackson
slipped and fell from the rally.
2. A very game round, in which some severe round blows
were exchanged, rather to the advantage of Jackson, who teltf-
mately floored his adversary by a hit home, or in other words,
at just distance, not guided by science.
3. A tremendous and fearless fighting round, in which each
had alternate advantage; but in a severe rally, Tibbett serene's'
to wear best. Jackson received a chancerif.est hit on the nob,
but he seemed as contented as a speculator in the Fleet, Ohs
bad run away trite a rich ward. His courage no more left hint
than the ward would her admirer.
4. Jackson had the best of the latter part of this round, and
threw kis adversary a neat summerset.
4,6, and 7, piping was the order, and it was all scramble.
8. Tibbett led, and fought to advantage ; bet the other had
the best of it, if any best, until the 90th mum', when the Past-
enders and Water-side artists (advocates which Westminster Ilan
could not produce), broke in the ring; nay, they broke the
stakes which formed it, and would not allow Jackson to win.—
The time-keeper bolted, lest any of the people should think they
bad as much right to the yuck (watch) as he had, and left them,
welcoming his successful retreat with a drop of de y. Time
went on by guess, and Jackson, who by manhood had so chance
of a tie or a win, was compelled by his second, Holtz to give in.
lie is, however, the best man, and game to the bone.
The father of Tibbett, his mother, and two sisters, were in
a ding, loudly applauding him throughout the fight! Ward..
• Purcell, Randall, Curtis. Lenney; Scroggins, and Tisdale, were
on the ground, and exerted themselves to keep the ring, but
without effect. Considerable toms of money were lust by the
defeat of Jackson.
HAT. HUDSON AND Ilaatow.--This math is gone off, in con.
sequence of a misunderstanding between the backers concerning
the distance the fight should be from London. The former
pu-
gilist has challenged Cabbage for £5O a-side, being both of them

Groavenor.ignare, October 15.
Nest to the sceptical 'Union of certain teachers
of religion who have more teal than knowledge
against the study of the works of Goo in education,
the absurd system of excluding women from their
right to perform the important office of training up
children in the way in which they should go, is most
inimical to the dearest interest of mankind. By at-
tending to the natural constitution of the fair sex,
and keeping at the same time in view the important
truth' that Nature is consistent in all her works; the
privileges and rights of women will be found to be
subjects the most important which can occupy the
'heads and hearts of the friends to virtue and to reli-
Rion. The politician, moral philosopher, and theologian,
have in general treated this subject hitherto, more
as an object of curiosity than utility ; although it
will be found to be a fact, that the destiny of chil-
dren, of youth, and of men, depend in a remarkable
degree on the moral and religious character' of wo-
men. To enable them to perform the sacred office
of training and of mutual instruction is a measure of
the first necessity and justice. Sound policy, every
Manly and generous sentiment, and the happiness of
individuals and nations, require that man should be
loyal; faithful, and just, to lovely woman! Our phy-
sical growth and well being, even before we,have
breathed the breath of life, depend on the health and
strength of Nature's fairest work. Laun;hed into
this valley of tears when reason is a helpless guide;
Nature, by a generous instinct, directs new born in-
fants to the fruitful bosom of affectionate mothers.
It is in this most delightful vineyard the tender in.
fent drinks the unadulterated wine of Nature, which
invigorates his body and animates his delicate frame.
The generous mother is 'the sc!e object of affection of
I her child. Ignorant of his GOD, and incapable of
forming those relations which call forth his affection
towards his father, it is his benevolent and solicitous
mother who is the goddess he admires. Ills animal
nature, stimulated by instinct and curiosity, in course
of time renders him an active being and exposes him
to danger. It is to the bosom of her who nourished
his body to whom he flies for consolation in distress
and for the nourishment of his mind. The force of
nature is here irresistible ! It is mothers whom Nature
and PROVIDENCE proclaim to be the legitimate ad-
ministrators of the milk of human kindness' to the
glowing and innocent hearts of children.
" Reason gradually assumes its high authority.—
The father shares the affection of the fruit of mutual
love with the partner of his life. Filial duty animates
the youth. Sentiments of iestaect and obedience spring
up in his mind, like the rose and lily in spring. The
,father commands his esteem' and respect, but it is to-
ward the mother, the nurse of his infancy and the
'playful companion of his childhood, the unreserved
confidence of his youth .and the finest feelings or his
heart are directed. Arrived atthe years of manhood,
his country calls
,him. to the post of duty. Reason,
conscience, ilia the instinctive impulses of his consti-
tution, place him. in the rank of member of a com-
munity, and command him, as an essential duty, to
sacrifice private interest to public good. The beloved
son actuated by duty,.the noblest prinCiple of his na-
ture, is separated from the object of his affec-
tion. Here the protecting hand of PROVIDENCE, un-
seen and unknown-to the young, citizen, by a' most
beautiful movement in the affections.of this. young
candidate for honour, duty, and happiness, trans-
plants him into new scenes of bliss. Nature here pro.
claims her empire! Tine affections of the blooming
youth are placed on a partner for life. Here mutual
bliss displays its heavenly character: and mutuality.
struction its commanding attitude. The happy pair
appear on the grand theatre of life : their most ardent
wishes have been consummated. Other precious joys
await them. Their vows having been consecrated at
the holy Altar of Religion, the bond of eternal union
must be signed in the temple of lover *child must
be born. The image of the parents must appear in
the beloved object of the fruit of mutual love. Ad-'
,atirable wisdom t Divine goodness ! GOD delights in
'virtue 1 and that which he delights in 'must be happy !
" It is in candidly examining the indications pie-
sented by Pnownetrct to mankind, that strong views
will arise against the destructive notion of excluding
women from, performing the important duty of form-
ing the; dispositions. and Flying a due direction to
the habits of children. Me. erring hand of man,
misled by a desire for power, unstrings the finest
chords; which duly tuned, would form the harmony
of social life; for mothers are regarded as 'inferior
beings, incapable of :eating the fruit of their womb :
women who are made. to teinper man, are-deprived
from exercising the power bestowed on them by Goo
and Nature. Strange and destructive delusion !
women are not permitted to do more for their child: en,
Ain,instinet enables the beasts of the field for
their,
yliung. It is owing to this unmanly, ungenerous,
and destructive error, that education is robbed of its
choicest tlessin4s: for: it is. in vain to attempt to
train. up a child in the way in which'
he should
-go,
without employing. the skilful hand, and moving the.
affectionate hearts of women!
" Experience and observation force us to acknow-
ledge that women are.superiorlyqoalilied to reform
and refine our manners and sentiments, and that
I We should be brutei without them.'

"Among the many proofs which May be produced
of the ineffectual state of education, the present fa-
shionable and unnatural mode of training up women
in the way in which they should go, should engage
the particular attention of the friends to science,
virtue, and religions
,4 Without going into a long physical investi-
gation here on the subject, I thinkri will suffice sim-
ply to state what I conceive will be admitted univer-
sally to be true, namely, that memory, perception,
apprehension, judgment, imagination, and the power
'of association of thoughts and feelings, are as perfect,
ht *omen as in men. That the great susceptibility
of the fair sex gives them superior facility in acquiring
habits, in exciting the imagination on all subjects of
beauty, and of rendering them more lively, steady,
and sincere in their affections, and more feelingly
alive than men to the delightful sentiment of grati-
tude, are truths which, I believe, will not be denied.
With regard to their judgment and taste on all self-
evident truths and objects of beauty, their talents, in
my humble opinion, are superior to those of men ;
partly owing to the delicacy of their frame, and the
high degree of sensibility of their constitutions.—
These qualities, which give them i decided supe-
riority over men, are the very causes which render
women inferior to their lords in all abstiact spectila-
Lion, in which continued acts of reasoning are neces-
sary. Extreme sensibility is a great impediment to
inductive reasoning. It gives the imagination full
play, and counteracts the mild influence and autho-
rity of the understanding. Women are less adapted
than men for long and continued abstraction, by the
physical constitu ion of their frame. A woman, who
hgs habits of inductive and abstract reasoning, loses
the winning charms of her sex. Iler desire to please
is metamorphosed into an unsocial manner, and she
acquires the aukward air of the cabinet of study in
a much higher degree than the plodding philosopher,
and in nine cases in ten she has all tree appearance of
a being, which is designated in the Fiend] language
by the phrase un Immune manqué!
" These views, and others which may be taken, in-
duce me to believe that women are qualified by Pito-
VIDENCE to share the task of teaching in all branches
of instruction in which abstract and continued habits
of reasoning hre not necessary : but that in all teach-
ing, depending upon abstraction and continued acts
of reasoning, they are not qualified by Nature to
perform the business of instructors. And I beg leave
to repeat, on the other hand, that I have long been
convinced they are better qualified, by the nature of
their constitution, than men, to perform the office &f
training and instructing children under nine years of
age; a period the most important in the life of man
in laying the founclathn on which must be reared
all systems depending on first principles, whether in
the arts, the sciences, or in short in all knowledge
which leads the mind to Religion and to GOD re.

The Ladies say, if women instead of men were Le-
gislators, the Alarri,rge Act would never have been
passed by a petticoat Government !
A person having asked another what was the Mar-
riage Act, which made so much noise? was answered,
" It is an Act to prevent men and women from
coming together !"

'An unfortunate fellow who had been sent to Brix-
ton Mill for some offence, while absent, the mother
told the children that he had gone to the country to
see his friends. On being released, his little family
got about hint and said they were glad to see him re-
turned, and expressed a wish to go with him when he
went again to the country. The wretched man, who
seemed sensible of his error, heaved a sigh, and said,
feelingly—" Ah, my dear children, I should be very
sorry indeed to see you tread in your lather's steps !"
A most alarming occurrence took place on Mon-
day last, at the house of Mr. HEASLERI a smith, in
Pear Tree-court, Clerkenwell-close. A dog of his,
which was seized with hydrophobia, bit two of Mr.
HICASLER'S children, ono aged ten and the other eight
yeari ; the eldest was bit in the left eye and the
youngest in the cheek. The children were both taken
to Bartholomew's Hospital, where caustic was ap-
plied to the wound on the eye of the eldest, and the
flesh cut off from the wound in the cheek of the
youngest. The dog was killed, and the body was
opened and examined by the surgeons, who have as•
certained the animal to be mad. Nothing can exceed
the trouble of the family ; they have the eldest at home,
and the youngest still remains in the Hospital.
An occurrence of a very painful nature took place
yesterday in Westminster-road, in consequence of a
horse, drawing a chaise containing a Lady and Gen-
tleman with their child, taking fright from some un-
accountable circumstance. The animal darted off at
"great speed, rendering the efforts of the driver inef-
fectual : at length the wheel of the vehicle coming in
contact with the raised footpath, caused a sudden
jerk, by which the Lady and infant were thrown to
the ground with great violence, and the latter had its
arm broken. The Lady was taken up senseless and
severely contused, but proper restoratives being ap-
plied, recovered. It is singular the horse stood still
the instant it met with obstruction. •

An event of a distressing nature occurred.on Fri-
day last, at. Marquise, in the neighbourhood of Ca-
lais. RICHARD USHAR, Esq. of Enniscorthy, and for-
merly for many years of the 62d Regiment, a young
map of remarkably fine person and amiable manners,
while out in quest of game, in passing through a hedge,
received the contents of his gun in his right side; the
shot passed through his lungs, and he expired in about
three minutes. This event has cached a univeral sen-
sation in the place where it occurred, where Mr.
Dame was generally known and beloved.
Friday evening Mr. Morris, of Spridlington, near
Lineolp, fattuer, an returning home, fell off-his horse,
