He was indignantly silenced by Captain Hear, who,
in forwarding us with a fresh guard, did not forget
all that humanity, and politeness, prescribed ! We

Extract of a Letter to Major Cartwright from a
Gentleman residing near Sheffield, dated the 4th
instant:—" At Sheffield, the Petitions for Parlia-
mentary Reform, are signed by a great majority of
the population. At Rotherham, I understand, they
are rapidly signing, and they are now also signing at
Barnesley. In the parishes also of Wath and Ec-
clesfield, they are signing with avidity ; and I doubt
not but the same feeling will pervade all places where
persons arc to be found to set them a-going. Yea
saw the tardiness shewo here by persons well affect.
ed, yet I believe there are now none here but what
are satisfied that the measure was what is right.—
There is therefore the greatest reason to believe, that
were you to visit, with your friends, those counties
you mention, you might bring forward the public
mind in the same way as these districts have exem-
plified."

THE Da tua.—Mr. KEMBLE, it seems, has re-
ceived a distinction, which did not adorn either Mr.
BETTERTON or Mr. GARRICK I—Some of the chief
men among the leading Booksellers, have proposed
to him, a new edition of SuAalsreatt! With a pe.
cuniary offer, fully equal, if not more than equal, to
the literary advantage itself ! This is a fine and fair
triumph of talents I—A►.d, advanced as the text now
may be, many more advances in it may be expected!
for, indeed, it is certain, that the Collection of Mr.
K. (in the OLD Plays and other cotemporary instru-
mental books), is far beyond all preceding libraries,
not excepting Mr. STEEVENS and Mr. Mazones!—
And, k-may be presumed, he would not so have ac-
cumulated books, without the purpose of all skilled
and popular use of them ! Since the national com-
pliment to the unrivalled meat of Mr. GEORGI
Gamut; in one department of knowledge—or
since the renown of the STEPHAN!, in another, we
have not heard of any well-won distinction, which
has pleased us, and, probably, will please most of
our Readers, so much.
On the 3d of November, the Spanish corvette El
"Masco( arrived at Cadiz from Lima. Besides
cargo of gunpowder and saltpetre, she brought
457,670 dollars.
The Meteor, Capt. Fisnca, which arrived last
week from the Baltic, left Admiral Hoe at Wing°,
in the Egmont. The ships would have the Baltic
generally, on the arrival of the Russian fleet, at
Gottenburgh; the Cressy was appointed to lead the
first division down ; and the Ilamadryad the second.
The Russian ships are badly manned. The Zealous
and Ethanol hail sailed with supplies for the ships ill
the Belt, which were straitened for provisions. Adm.
Mounts had gone to Nano, to re-hoist his flag iu the

Vigo.
The Ire-mongers of the West End of the Town,
commenced their annual operation Yesterday of laying
in the frigid stores a winter for the luxuries of the
next summer : all the light carts and jack-ass testae
were in active requisition on this occasion.
