Mr. Rae has resumed station on these boards, after a long severe indisposition," as the bills have though they do not express the nature the complaint, which has been civil azu to restore him to the stage with unpaired good looks and vigour.

Mr. R. perTed Beverley, in The Gamester, with a about him, not one of whom would be wrated in a barn; and he therefore Bed really to have improved into a capinstead of an indifferent tragedian. Such the force of contrast. Mr. Kean has back from his Sheffield and other engments, and Brutus is again the order of the night, but can no longer people the theatre without the aid of many orders. The Pantomime is also endured, and things go on as badly as before, notwithstanding that heavy affair of Flodden Field has been consigned to oblivion, after nine nights of painful existence. Bad dramas seem to have just as many lives as fable gives to cats; they cannot get over the ninth mortality. At the end of that time the public, and not the authors, have to determine the question, and the miserable productions are seen no more. COVENT GARDEN relies on its Pantomime and the same change of plays which have heretofore been so attractive. Tragedy and Comedy take their turn, and we are glad to see it announced that Opera too will shortly be added, as Miss Stephens resumes her engagements as Diana Vernon in Rob | so admirably performed "the Dugal Creature," died last Saturday. He was a coarse, but, in several characters, an original and effective actor: we fear that irregularity of life, and proneness to the enjoyment of the liquid enemy of mankind," have hurried him to a premature grave. His Dirk Hatterick, Peter Pastoral, Crockery, and other parts of quaint humour, will scarcely ind a more laughable representative. VARIETIES. NEW COMETS. - The Paris Journals announce, that M. Pons, of Marseilles, has discovered a Comet in the constellation Pegasus, and another in the constellation Hydra. According to the observations of M. Blaupain, this new star was on the 30th of November, at 17h. 37m. of mean time, reckoned from mid-day, at Marseilles, by 179. 38. of right ascension, and 29. 17. south declination. On the 1st of December at 17h. 57m. of mean time, the right ascension was 180. 39. and the declination 28. 47. This Comet is easily visible through a night telescope. It is of a pale nebulosity, round, and from five to six minutes in diameter. The nucleus is very confused. As the motion of declination carries the Comet towards the north, it is natural to suppose that in a few days it will have acquired more intensity, and perhaps become visible to the naked eye. NEW DYE. Achymist of Copenhagen has discovered a means of producing a lively yellow colour for dyeing cloth. He gathers the tops of the potatoes when ready to flower, presses the juice, mixes it with more or less water, and suffers the cloth to remain in it during twenty-four hours. He then dips it in spring water. The cloth may be either of wool, silk, cotton, or flax. By plunging the cloth thus tinged with yellow into a vessel of blue, a brilliant and lasting green is obtained. Cattle consumed in London. -The consumption of sheep and lambs in London in twelve months, has been lately estimated at the number of one million sixty-two thousand seven hundred. The number of horned cat'le slaughtered, at one hundred and sixty-four thousand; and by the inspectors return, it appears, that the number of horse hides produced at Leadenhall market amounted to twelve thousand nine hundred. They have got up for representation at the Olympic Circus at Paris a drama en titled the Death of Kleber, or the French in Egypt. Surely the French are a people resembling the lady in Prior's tale of the ladle, "For what is grave they turn to farce." Fenelon (says the Marquis de Louville, in his Memoires Secrets on the establishment of the House of Bourbon in Spain, recently published at Paris) when directing he education of Philip V. of Spain, laid it The same author has the following anecdote. The Prime Minister, Duc de Montaussier, who it is said was the model for Moliere's Misanthrope, solicited from Louis XIV. a place for a person of no merit, who had recently become allied to him. The King, in some surprise, said, But, M. de Montaussier, do you advise me to grant that which you request?' No, by my faith, Sire,' replied the Duke, 'but your Majesty makes so many elections without my advice, that you might add this to the number.' His Majesty laughed, but the appointment was not given. A little girl, 5 years of age, was equally fond of her mother and grandmother. It being the birth-day of the latter, her mother said to her, "My dear, you must pray to God to bless your grandmamma, and that she may live to be very old." The child looked with some surprise at her mother, who, perceiving it, said, "Well, will not you pray to God to bless your grandmamma, and that she may become very old ?" 'Ah! mamma,' said the child, she is very old already, I will rather pray that she may become young.' A lady who had just parted with her housemaid, asked her cook if she would take the housemaid's place; but she answered, "Madam, the cook and the cat have always something to eat, but the housemaid, footman, and dog, must wait till it is their turn." ORIGINAL ANECDOTES, BY PHILARCHON. It will beremembered that after the battle of Leipsic, a subscription was set on foot, throughout England, for the benefit of the suffering widows and orphans. It was no sooner known to the Princes of Brunswick (who were then resident at Vauxhall) than they agreed between themselves, unknown to their preceptor, to give all their pocketmoney, and a hoard of foreign vold coin which had been some time in collecting, in aid of the fund. This resolved, they rerequested their tutor to take a ride to Ackermann's, where the subscriptions were deposited; and upon their arrival there, to his no small astonishment and admiration, they pulled out the bag in which the treasure had been kept, and requested it might be conveyed to Mr. Ackermann, with the observation "that it was all they had to give." So singular a mark of generosity in children both under twelve years of age, has been perhaps seldom equalled. That it is a fact the writer of this will vouch. From the clamour raised by the mob at a late election, whenever a vote arrived for any other than their chosen four, many quietly disposed persons were deterred, through fear of being scouted or worse, from going with their good wi. hes for Sir William's success. A worthy and no less witty Divine was asked, why he did cause (replied he) I do not see why I should endanger my own poll to benefit another man's!" LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. A curious work for a foreign country has lately been published in Paris: it is an octavo volume in defence of the character of our Richard the Third, by a M. Rey, a Frenchman, who goes not only over the ground of Horace Walpole and other writers, but adduces new arguments to shew that this confessedly brave monarch has been much and unjustly vilified by history. "The A Parisian Critic, in reviewing his writings, denominates M. de Pradt Prince of Lost Opportunities!" The Lilawati, a celebrated treatise on Hindu arithmetic and geometry, has been translated by Dr. John Taylor from the original Sanscrit, and read to the Literary Society of Bombay. As this work has been frequently called for by men of science in Europe, it is now printing under the eye of the learned translator at the expense of the bay, just published. Society.

The Series of little Treatises, in Question and Answer, nominated "PINNOCK'S CATECHISMS," are inraded to form the basis of every branch of useful knowlolge, and are of themselves, in fact, on Epitome of the ars and Sciences. The style in which they are written is vece clear and simple, conveying instruction to the praful mind in a manner unattainable by the use of claborate and comprehensive Works, In short, they fix on the mind the leading facts in History, the fundamental principles of Science, the memory amieved from the burden of retaining a mass of minuwith which larger Books necessarily abound, and which ought to be reserved till the ideas of youth expand ently to comprehend their contents. The Publishers also beg to observe, that the whole of er CLASS BOOKS are edited on the Explanatory and Borragutize System (in which every difficulty is carey ezpisined, and the memory assisted by Questions he Examination of the Pupil;) beginning with Books mad to the capacities of very young Children, and exto such as are fit for Senior Classes. Among the , they will only instance their new and improved Lao Dr, Goldsmith's BATORIES OF ENGLAND, GREECE, AND ROME. la these as in every other Book on this plan) all parties of style have been carefully corrected, and aumproper allusion sedulously obliterated, while most valuable and interesting matter has been led, consisting of Introductory Chapters, descriptive the Manners and Customs of the Ancient Britons, Eks, and Romans, and numerous Classical, Mytholoal, Biographical, and Geographical Notes. laving premised thus much on the merits of the PubMarions issuing from their Press, the Publishers will not to sotice the invidious remarks which have been, continually are, obliquely levelled at the System Lave adopted, more than by observing, that, where o due, a liberal and discerning Public will be alwed to patronise it; and the disgusting quackery merested individuals, however pompously obtruded the souce of the public, can meet with nothing tha bemeral support. With a steady and undetep, the Publishers have pursued the plain, but path in which they first set out; their only aim faclizate the mental progress of youth, and to , in some measure, the arduous, though honourtask of education: and that they have succeeded, betheir most sanguine expectations, they may, without say or egotism, declare; for, independent of the rapid dcreasing sale of these Publications, by which alone public opinion might be fairly estimated, the Pubsers have in their possession upwards of one thousand written by Teachers of eminence, from all parts te kingdom, bestowing the most honourable encoon their labours, and holding out every encourageto them to proceed in the way they have begun. The Publishers cannot omit this opportunity of returnthear sincere thanks to those friends who have, from me to time, communicated hints for improvement. They trust that they have profited by such suggestions, Kod that the New Editions will, on being compared with original ones, prove that their patrons have not been carced. Still, however, pursuing the object in viewBng themselves to be neither diverted from their se, by the jealous envy of those who would wish to haridered rials, nor intimidated by the fulsome and tical addresses of such as would claim that merit astly belongs to others, the Publishers are detered to exert every energy to render their future Edistalli more deserving of that preeminence which been awarded by a judicious Public; they have ac er Lagiy now in the Press Superior Editions of their Ca printed on fine royal paper, designed more parwry for the use of the higher classes, where elegance mecution of more importance than cheapness; their regular editions, at the original prices, are d, with improvements, which must enhance value.

No. 105. SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1819. When Sir James Mackintosh was at 1814, about five o'clock P.M. and com Ik mbay, it is well known that his emiRent talents and love of literature and dence contributed, in a great degree, to the establishment of a Society, the first volume of the Transactions of which now offered to the British reader. We y add that this work, transferring so large and interesting a portion of Asiatic arch to the knowledge of Europe, is, e are assured, indebted to the same ghtened mind for that superintendave which has fitted it for the public A production so miscellaneous and cmportant is not to be described and disused in a single Number of our publication (which is only by its rapidity and fequency of appearance enabled to convey a just idea of such subjects,) and we must therefore rather select one of its wads of valuable contents for our present warpose, than attempt a general analysis. We may premise, however, that the mythology and manners, the poetry, reLo, antiquities, climate, annals, and natural history of Asia, are all happily illastrated by the various essays, applied to these topics, which its scope embraces. An admirable address, delivered the President (Sir J. Mackintosh) perfaces the scientific part, and in the Litter we especially remark an account of the Caves in Salsette, some translabons from the Persian and Chinese, description of the celebrated Cave Temple of Elephanta, and other matters, which deed are of so much merit as to render this mention of any particular contriction invidious. We have chosen for our first extract * subject which will, we trust, not only patify our scientific, but also our fair aders:-it is rarely that we can hope 1 unite their suffrages; for the latter wo often think what pleases the former , and in return the former, condemn what delights the latter as trifling! For once let us hope they will agree, since The theme is the Cornelian, in which the mineralogist and the beauty are alike aterested. Account of the CORNELIAN MINES in the neighbourhood of Baroach; by John CopVOL. III. mitted myself to the celebrated and sacred stream Rewa, commonly called Nurbuda, at the turn of the tide. About midnight we arrived at the island of Kubeer Bur, break we landed opposite the village of twelve miles N.E. of Baroach. At dayNeemoodra, which is three miles distant from the river, and south of Kubeer Bur, where we found our horses waiting: the mines lie about twelve miles to the eastward of this village. Abont five miles beyond Neemoodra we came to a rivulet named Kaweeree, and although of no importance during the dry season, it becomes a most formidable river in the rains. Its bed consists chiefly of quartz and agate pebbles; among the latter were many varieties, the most uncommon I remarked were of a dark blue colour with white veins. A striated rock, varying from fifty to a hun dred feet in height, overhangs the river on the western side for several miles. Its dip toward the south-east might have been 45°. PRICE 8d. dra, where alone the stones are burnt The mines are in the wildest part of the jungle, and are very numerous; they are shafts working perpendicularly downward about four feet wide; the deepest we saw was fifty feet: some extend in an horizontal direction at the bottom, but in con sequence of the earliness of the season few reached a depth sufficient to render this turn necessary, and in those that had, it was not carried many feet. In using the term " earliness of season" it is proper to mention, that the nature of the pits is such as to prevent their being worked a second year on account of the heavy rains, which cause the banks to fall in, so that new ones are opened at the commencement of every fair season. We arrived at the mines about seven o'clock A.M. when none of the workmen had come except one, who accompanied us as a guide from Neemoodra. We were informed that the fire-damp was not uncommon in the mines, and that miners did not descend till the sun had risen sufficiently to dispel the vapours. We went to the bottom of one pit, about 30 feet deep, without any assistance from ropes or ladders, by means of small niches the feet and hands on opposite sides of the pit, but understood that the miners always made sales, as the workmen at the close of their labour carry to their homes the simple instruments of their vocation, together with the stones which the day's labour has acquired. The soil is gravelly, consisting chiefly of quartz sand reddened by iron, and a little clay. The nodules may weigh from a few ounces to two or even three pounds, and lie very close to each other; but for the most part distinct, not in strata, but scattered through the inass, and in the greatest of rope to hold by, of which we could not On ascending from the bed of the river, we passed on our left the little village of Rutunpoor, in which resides a thanudar on the part of the Rajpiplee state (whose jurisdiction is only in matters of police, and confined to the district dependent on this village,) and proceeded onward by a narrow footpath through jungle, having rising ground almost the whole way to the mines. The diversity of scenery, -hills and valleys, pebbly beds of rivers, precipitous rocks, and extensive plains covered with jungle, abundance. I saw none of a red colour was sufficiently romantic. On account of the tigers with which the country alounds, no human habitations were found nearer the mines than Ratunpoor, which is seven miles off. The miners reside at Neemoo- milky tingee the first, our guide informed * At Kubeer-Bur there is a famous tree bearing the same name, which the writer describes as forming lofty arches and arcades, and covering from three to four acres of ground! Mr. Copland adds: At the time of the high swells at the latter end of the rains the island is overflowed, and the few inhabitants, like so many of the monkey tribe (with whom they mingle,) are compelled to take refuge in the lofty branches of the tree, and remain there for several days until the water subsides, the current being too rapid for a boat to render them relief. The popular tradition among the Hindoos concerning the tree is, that a man of great sanctity, named Kubeer, having cleaned his teeth, as practised in India, with a piece of stick, stuck it into the ground, that it took root and became what it now is. He was after wards canonized, and his image we saw sitting in a temple near one of the oldest-looking trunks (his metamorphosed tooth-brush.) at the mines; some were blackish olive like cominon dark flints, others somewhat lighter; and others lighter still, with a slight be black when second, red; and the third, white. In this he may have been correct; but I doubt the fact as to the first, which we found in a proportion inconsistent with the well-known rarity of a black cornelian. I confess myself of opi nion that there can be no precise rules drawn from the appearance of the stones before, for that which they will assume after burning, because it depends partly on the degree of heat they undergo. A red cornelian by an intense heat will become white; but as far as my observations go, no stone of the former colour is found so in the mines (excepting jaspers,) although a large proportion of them assume it at Nee moodra. Many also after having been burnt show both colours, sometimes distinct and sometimes mixed, and of a pinky hue; while the colour was uniform, or very |
