Yesterday a Quarterly General Court was held at
the East India House, when, after the usual forms
the Chairman stated that the Court of Directors
had come to a Resolution respecting the loss 'of the
ship Earl Camden, viz.
The Court, taking into ewisideratlon a Report from the Cort
mittee of Shipping respecting t7.se lois of the Earl Camden,
Resolved unanimously, That Captain Samscits, Commander
and the several Oflice,s of the late Ship Earl Camden, he full;
acquitted from all impsratioa of neglect or misconduct tu regard
to the loss of the said ship.
That the late ship Earl Camden was full.' and sufdclently found
in anchors, cables, and other stores; and that therefore the own-
ers be fully acquitted from aU imputation of neglect in respect to
her loss.
On the motion of the Chairman, the determination
of the confirmation of me above Resolution by ballot
was fixed for the 9th day of October next.—Several
accoun's relative to the conduct of the College at Hay-
lylaury, and the Military Seminary at Addiscombe,
were laid before the C aart.—The undermentioned
Officers were sworn into the command of ther respec-
tive ships, viz.: GEORGE NICHOLS, new ship, in the
room of the Bengal ; WicuataiDoNat.osoN, Neptune;
HENRY Reim, Royal Charlotte.—The Court adjourni.
ed till Wednesday next.
The PYRAMVS frigate was ordered from Ports:
mouth, a few days ago, to the Downs, for the pup:
pose of taking on board a Russian of distinction red
the Baltic, who had been in London for some time.
After waiting awhile for the person in questien, or-
ders were received to proceed to the. Baltic without
him, as lie was not ready IT his departure.
The report of Etio's surrender appears to have been
wholly groundless. So far from surrendering, letters
of the 7th of July announce the fitting out a naval es-
pedition against Buenos Ayres, which ELIo designs
to command in person.
SPORTING.—The concourse of people that attended
the race-ground at Yatmouth yesterday, were more
than on any former occasion, being estimated at up-
wards of 10,000.—The whole of the races pasied oS
without any accident, and the company departed
highly gratified with the sports of the day.—ln the
evening, the Assembly-Rooms, Theatre, and Gar-
dens, were respectably filled.
CovrataGaßDlN THEATRE.—The Tragedy of rut:
John has been got up in the same splendid style as
last season, and was yesterday evening Performed in
a most admirable style.—Mrs. SIDDONS'S portraiture
of Lady Constance was ore of the most animated and
affecting representations ever witnessed. In her
scorn of the Austrian Duke ; in her raging upon
the infidelity of Kings ; in her maternal rebuke of
the Cardinal's cold philosophy ; andp in the scene
that follows the capture of young J./resat by King
John, her wild expression of grief penetrated the
heart of every auditor, and her maternal agonized
feelings were displayed in a manner that deeply af-
fected the whole house ; nor indeed was she less sac.
cessful in the other principal scenes ; and on the
whole we do not hesitate to say that Lady Comte:nee
never had so truly great a representative as she finds
, in Mrs. SIDDONS. Mr. KENIiII.E'S King Johrs is
finely elaborate, and uncommonly dignified and effec-
tive. His scene with Hubert, in which he communicates
his wishes respecting the• fate of Arthur, is oae of
the best acted we ever beheld :—never certainly was
the hesitation arising from guilt or design more forci-
bly or strikingly depicted; and the energetic dignity
with which he rebuked the insolence of the Pope's Le-
t gate, prodiiced the strongest effect upon the audience,
and the applause vas tin:vet-W. Mr. C. KEISIBLI. as
• Fassconbridge, Was also remat kably happy; and the
play, on the whole, afforded a most excellent treat.
D1,41.T11 OF JAMES GRAHAME. the Scottish Poet.—
It gives its pail) to announce the death of the ami-
able and excellent JAI.I/15 GRAHAME, a tolicr of the
Poems of the Sabbath, the B;rds of 6cotland, and the
British Georgics. He cl;ed at Glasgow a few weeks
ago of water in the brain. Grown weary n ith the •
fatigues and tin hulerce of the bar, he forsook it, and
accepted of a presentation to the Church of Eng-
land,in the neighbourhood of Durham. Here he re.
tired, contented with the little stipend which the
place afforded, hoping to regain his health i i the
exercise of a function so congenial to Lis mind. The
writer of this saw and conversed with him last
year in London, and he complained then much of
a pain in his head, and a heavy swimming in his
eyes, which rendered exertion of either body or
mind painful. He left London and went to Dur-
ham in the spring of last year, where, by his
amiable disposition and powers of native persuasive
eloquence, he made himself beloved beyond the
rang of those whom he was appointed to instruct.
Here he resided, making occasional" excursions
amongst the darling regions of poetical fancy, and
most faithfully discharging the duties which he had
engaged, to perform, of persuasion from vice, and of
eutrectie virtue

AUTUMN;

Autumn's charms are fading fast—

Mark how et ry ruthless blast
Scatters as it whirls around,
Shuw'rs of leare‘ upon the ground!
Ah ! no hull its force can stay,

All will soon be swept away,
'Midst the ruins of the year,
See the cheerful bird appear,
Who, of all the warbling train,

THE COME!:

Bails alone sad Winter's reign :
And through each dark and dreary day,
Sings the lonely hours away.
Sweet Bird! a Summer bright as thine
Did once within this bosom shine;
But now the wisit't y hour draws near—
Fast, fast my comforts disappear,
And sinking from my clouded heart,
I feel the sun of bliss depart.
But shall thy sweet example be
Unheeded, gentle Bird, by me ?
Or shall its influence fail to move
A wish of emulative love ?
No!-1 will view thy patient form,
And learn to hear the beating storm.
Back to the vast 111 turn my eyes;
How many blessings there arise!
Blessings so uudesetv'd, that still
My heart must feel the grateful thrill.
Sweet Monitor !41'11 learn to be
All choierfully resigt.'d-I,ke thee!
