INCIDENTS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS, IN LONDON, MIDDLESEX, AND SURREY. With Biographical Memoirs of distinguished Characters recently deceased. THE THE friends and supporters of that interesting institution, the Asylum for the DEAF and DUMB, lately held their anni. versary festival at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, his royal highness the Duke of Sussex in the chair. The Duke of Gloucester, the enlightened and benevolent patron of the Deaf and Dumb, pronounced a warm eulogium on the institution, for the promotion of which the meeting had assembled, giving a luminous view of its advantages, and lamenting that, notwithstanding the extensive and increasing support it meets, with from all ranks, there still remains much to be done to meet the exigency of the cases. He stated the number of children now receiving education and maintenance in the Asylum to be upwards of 150, while upwards of 80 candidates were waiting for admission to participate in the blessings of a sort of new existence. The stewards then entered the rooni, conducting the children round the different tables, and the gratification his royal highness had promised was felt in a degree more easily conceived than described; not only did both sexes exhibit specimens of their penmanship and knowledge of arithmetic, but viva voce gave answers to questions proposed to them; and some of them spoke a short address to their benefactors, with a clearness of utterance and propriety of feeling that delighted while it astonished. Great preparations are making by the Regent to receive the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia,in their proposed visit to London after the ratification of the general peace at Paris. A true bill has been found against Lord Cochrane and seven others, said to be concerned in the hoax on the gamblers at the Stock Exchange. Dr. FANSHAW MIDDLETON has been consecrated the first bishop of Calcutta at Lambeth Palace. 200,0001. was during the past month awarded by the Lord Chancellor to the relations of a Mr. Barber, who on his return from India died at the hotel at which he put up in the Adelphi about 12 years ago. A notice of his death was inserted at the time in the Monthly Magazine, which being read by one of his poor relations in a distant. part of the kingdom, application was made to us, and other enquiries pursued, which have led finally to the division of his great property among his family.

At the [Dr.Burney, (whose death was noticed in our last) was a gentleman whose celebrity was equally great in the literary and the musical world. He was a native of Shrewsbary, and born in 1726. He received the rudiments of his education at the free grammar-school of that town, and completed it at the public school of Chester. At the latter place he commenced his musical studies, under Mr. Baker, organist of the cathedral, who was a pupil of Dr. Blow. He returned to Shrewsbury about the year 1741, and continued the study of music, under his half-brother, Mr. Jas. Burney, who was an eminent organist and teacher in that town. In 1744 he met with the renowned Dr. Arne at Chester, who perceiving his talents to he respectable, prevailed upon his friends to send him to London, and he continued to profit under the instructions of that celebrated master fall three years, and published his first works in 1747. In 1749 he was elected organist of St. Dionis Back Church, Fenchurch-street, with an annual salary of only thirty pounds; and in the course of the same year was engaged to take the organ-part at the new concert established at the King's Arms, Cornhill, instead of that which had been held at the Swan Tavern, burnt down the year before. At this time he composed for Drury-lane Theatre, Robin Hood, a comic opera, by Moses Mendez; and Queen Mab, a pantomme; which last was played every winter for nearly thirty years. Being in an ill state of health, which, in the opinion of his physicians, indicated a consumption, he was prevailed upon to retire into the country. Accordingly he went to Lynn SP Regis, Be the most proper person to draw it up. Ac- Regis, in Norfolk, where he was chosen he 1814.] Northumberland and Durham. he relinquished his design.

That your petitioners are of opinion, that those alterations are of a nature calculated to involve the vital prosperity of the country, and to compromise its commercial greatness for the temporary advantage of the opulent landholders of the kingdom. ported. The Taylors of Newcastle cannot well be expected to be able-bodied men, when, as appears by their public advertisement, their best hands get but 17s. or 18s. per week, and many but 10s. or 12s. It, however, merits notice, that the masters declare the combination of the men to be "unprincipled," and made for the purpose of raising the wages from 24s. to 27s. It is to be regretted, that the wages of labour should not, in these times of fluctuation, be fixed in the same proportion to the price of wheat, which they bore to each other, in the three years between 7 and 10 years before; and the price settled by the ap peal of six masters or twelve journeymen, to the quarter sessions for the county. The agricultural society for the county of Durham, at their meeting held at Darlington, on Easter Monday, adjudged and paid the following rewards, viz.: to Mr. Thomas Gibson, of Twisdale, near Chesterle-street, 3 guineas for the best coach stallion; to Mr. Wetherell, of Denton, 3 gui neas for the best bull; and to Mr. Arrowsmith, of Ferryhill, 3 guineas for the best Cow.
