We are extremely sorry to announee the death of
the Rev. Marrnaw RARNIL, D.D. Master of Charter
House School, etc. who died yesterday morning, at
his house in Charterhouse-square. He bad been for
some weeks confined by a complaint over which it
was thought he had triumphed, when a fever inter.
vened, which in two or three days baffled all medical
skill, and terminated his most valuable life. Dr.
RAINE filled the important station of Master of Char-
ter House School tpf nearly twenty years, (for if he
had survived tonChtistmas next he would have ful-
filled that peribtl), and it was his determination 'at
that time to retire from- The arduous duties of his situ-
ation. The Governoti had presented him to the
Rectory of Hallerthiury, and theHonourable Society
of Gray's Inn had elected hiin their Preacher : bat ha
was cut off in the very 'prime of life from the retire-
ment to which he was so honourably entitled, and in
which he would have Contributed so essentially to the
support, to the influence, and the Conciliation of the
Established Church, by his learning, his exertions,
and his example. Never did a human being possess
a heart of more Mild or more purely Christian virtues.
He gained such an ascendancy over the minds of his
pupils, by the gentleness, combined with the dignity
of his deportment, that they revered in him at once
the benignity of the parent and the awe of the master.
They had, in the contemplation of his retreat, em-
ployed themselves in the means of testifying their
lively sense of gratitude and affection towards him ;
and on this very day the school was to re-assemb:,,
What an afflicting scene it must be to all the warm,
generous, and ardent youths, whom it has been the
study of the departed and eloquent master to inspire,
with the love of virtue, to meet only to assemble round
his bier Many have been the losses which the pub.
lic have lately sustained of great and good men ; but
no span has been thus prematurely taken from us,
more truly great and valuable, by every considera-
tion, of classical learning, sound piety, active benevo-
lence, independent spirit, and zealous patriotism, than
Dr. RAINZ.

oiril4T-GATIDEN THEATRlC.—Streedthe Plough was
performed at this House last night. The part of Sir
Abel Handy, which used to be played by MUNDEN,
was performed by SIMMONS,n who exerted himself to
the utmost of his abilities ; but it is scarce necessary
to observe, ft cm the nature of the character, that the
effect produced fell much short of that which we
were wont to witness in the original representative
of this part. There was no other novelty in the Co-
, medy.—ln the Farce of the (guar, Mr. SHAW ap.
peared in the character of Steady. He has a fine me-
, lodious voice, and sings with considerable taste,
without any affectation of unnecessary floutish.—
In the song of Whilst the Lads of the Village," he
was loudly encored ; and upon the whole his debut
was very flattering. Miss BoLToN, Mrs. Licro?f,
Mr. TAYLOR, and Mr. LirsToN, contributed greatly
to the edit with which the Farce went off.
atv-MARKET.--The Beaux Stratasere was played
last night, in which Mrs. GLOVER proved herself an
ladequate representative of the forlorn Mrs. SuLtax.
Mr- Mutioms enriched the Scrub with his usual Ter:
Isatility of humour, ever most various and lively when
there is most scope for its exertions.
Yesterday an alarming disturbance took place at
Ratcliff Highway, near the London Docks, amongst
the sailors of different nations employed there. For
some time past, great animosities and jealousies
have existed amongst them, and particularly the
American and Portugu•se sailors, relative to the
rate of wages at which they should work. It ap-
pears that most of the Portugueie have agreed (.f
late to give their services on board of merchant vessels
for their victuals, without requiring any wag, s,
Icircumstance which has irritated the Americans and
other sailors belonging to vessels now in the docks.
Ito the highest pitch, and they accordingly met earl
in the morning, and planned a formidable attack
upon the Portuguese. As their plan of' attack was
suddenly formed, it was also suddenly executed,
and by that means they were totally unprovided
with offensive weapons. They seized every blud-
geon and stick they could procure, and the pro-
perty of many of the neighbouring inhabitants fell
a sacrifice, for the purpose of effecting their reseit-
ment. Every chair, table, stool, and ladder, they
could lay their hands upon were broken to pieces,
and with these they bestowed many a violent blow •
upon their opponents, who being totally unprovided
for such a desperate attack, suffered very severely.
Every step of a ladder produced a broken crown ;
and the poor Portuguese sailors found themselves
upon this occasion in the minority, and were forced
to make a precipitate retreat, and seek refuge in the
houses and shops, by which the whole neighbour-
hood of Ratcliffe Highway was in an uproar, and '
the inhabitants were under the necessity of shutting
up shop. The Portuguese used every endeavour
to procure offensive weapons ; but so few could be
obtained that they were totaly unable to combat
with their assailants, many of whom, although per-
sonating Americans, proved to be Irishmen.
By the timely interference of a body of Police OS.
ters, and many individuals whom they had called•
to their aid, a vast deal of bloodshed was for the
t fortunately prevented. The hostile parties,
owever, were not dispersed before many threats
of vengeance were interchanged; and it was so
generally understood and firmly credited that a
pitched battle was to take place in the evening, at
six o'clock, that the inhabitants finding great crowds
of sailors reassembling by two o'clock, were begin-
ning again to shut up shop ; and notice had been
liven to the Volunteers, and a piquet guard frogs
the Tower to be on the alert by the time the Elder*
sons of Kilkenny can muster their forces.
