character,

character, and his modest independent spirit, endeared him to the few who knew him; for he sought no fame, but lived and died in a dusty chaos of litter and literature, of fiddles and fossiis, machines and microscopes, the friend of all, and the enemy of none.

At Highbury-place, the Rev. William Parry, D. D. a distinguished pulpit orator, and some years since much the subject of conversation, from the circumstance of his endea vouring to enforce his discourse by producing a human scull to the congregation.

Gustavus Adolphus Throughton, youngest son of Richard T. esq. of the Custom-house, London, 22. His death was occasioned by a blow he received against a post.

On the 7th of March, on board his flag ship, the Ville de Paris, Admiral Lord Collingwood, Commander in chief of the British fleet in the Mediterranean. Further particulars will be given in our next.

In South Lambeth, in the 76th year of his age, William Havard, esq. one of the partners in the city and county Bank of Hereford, a gentleman whose industry, benevolence, integrity, and worth, entitle his memory to more than ordinary notice. Mr. Havard was Forn in St. Owen's-street, Hereford, where his parents kept a small shop; and their cir. cumstances were so remote from affluence, that when (like his countryman Whittington)" he left his native place to pursue his fortunes in the metropolis, he had not sixpence in his pocket on his arrival in London. From this period, such was the perseverance, ability," and success with which he applied himself to business, that he gradually rose, with encreasing honour and esteem, from clerk to: partner, in the house of Mr. Jones, M.P. for Devizes, in Mansion-house-street. Thus becoming enrolled in the first class of British merchants, Mr. Havard was frequently consulted in the most difficult and important adjustments of mercantile accounts; and has now bequeathed to five daughters more than 10,0007. each, the fruits of his own exertions: and personal industry. His house and the hospitalities of his table were not only open to his countrymen in general, but many of his younger friends, from Hereford, will gratefully acknowledge how materially they have been aided by his powerful interest, and. valuable advice. Nor were these the only. prominent features of ability and worth in the character of Mr. Havard: the Banks of the Lug, and other similar effusions, acknowledge him as no despicable poct; but perhaps it is less known, that be not only aided Mr. Dibdin, in his work called The Bye-Stander, but also contributed some of those popular productions which are so happily calculated to excite the daring of our gallant tars. Of these the well-known words of " My Poll and my Partner Joe," were written by Mr. Havard; and it is said that 20,000 copies of that ballad were sold within a very short period after its publication. In a word, Mr. Havard has done honor to the place of his birth; his memory will ever be held in respect, and his example is worthy the imitation of all.

In Clarendon-square, Somer's Town, aged. 80, Thomas Mortimer, esq. a gentleman well known in the literary world, as author of many useful and interesting works, and formerly his majesty's vice-consul at Ostend.

In Great Ormond-street, aged 53, of a pulmonary consumption, Thomas Finch, esq. F.R.S. only son of the Rev. Robert Pool Finch, D.D. Further particulars will be given in our next.

CUMBERLAND AND W STMORELAND.

Amongst the norous improvements of the present age, hat of weaving figures on cloth is cert inly not the east. A double damask table Cloth has (t woven at Whitehaven, for the Countess of Lonsdale, which is thought by good judges to surpass, in point

of workmanship, any thing of the kind ever produced in that part of the kingdom. It is four yards and a half in length, and three yards and a quarter in breadth; the centre exhibits, in the most spirited and correct manuer, the family arms, with a border of the most exquisite fancy. The buds of roses are such as would appear to breathe fra grance all around," were it possible for the artist to exalt them with the tints of nature. In short, the loom itself, the beauty, the fabric, and the amplitude of the table-cloth, exceeds every thing that can be shown in the north of England.

built upon piling in a very strong and sub-
stantial manner, and reflects great credit on
the abilities of Mr. Mountain, the architect.
The principal front is to the north, facing
Humber street. The principal entrance, in
Humber-street, leads to the first and second
tie of dress boxes, up a very good flight of
stairs, at the first landing-place of which is a
convenient lobby. The entrance to the pit,
green-boxes, and middle gallery, is from the
passage on the east side the therre; and the
entrance to the upper gallery from the west
side. Opposite to the doors of the pit, which
is capable of holding about 400 persons, are
outlets both to the east and west. All the
doors open ou wards. The interior is very
elegantly fitted up. There are two tiers of
dress-boxes, sixteen in each tier, capable of
accommodating nearly 800 persons; green
boxes above, on a level with the middle gal-
lery, which together are calculated to contain
700 spectators; and an upper gallery, run-
ning round the house, of the same dimen
sions as the dress boxes, and terminated above
by an elegant dome. The different tiers are
supported by ten light reeded columns of cast
iron; to the tops of these gilt brackets will
be attixed, from whence glass and gold chan-
deliers are to be supported. The front of
the boxes and galleries is painted of a pink
ground, with etruscan borders, the breadth
of the whole pannel running round each
tier. The boxes are lined with scarlet cloth
to the height of five feet; the remainder of
the backs of the boxes is painted a light
French grey, and neatly pannelled. The
box-doors are lined uniformly with the boxes,
and the upper part painted white. A hand-
some corridor, five feet in width, runs round
the outside, from whence there is an en-
trance into each box, in every door of which
is placed a small glass, through which nearly
the whole of the interior of the house may
be seen. Round the front of the green buxes,
and the middle and upper galleries, runs a
light iron railing, calculated to guard against
accidents. The proscenium of the stage is
supported by pillars, in imitation of yellow
marble, with an arched top, from the side of
which, next the stage, hang crimson cur
tains, festooned, and ornamented with goid
fringe. Over the middle of the arch is placed
the royal arms; on the left are placed the
Dock company's, and on the right the free-
mason's arms; above, in the groined work
which supports the dome, are painted the
arms of the corporation of the town and
Trinity-house, with various trophies, &c.
The stage is 54 feet in depth. On a level
with the stage is the green-room, and a sinalk
room for the use of the manager. Below
these are the dressing-rooms for the gentle-
men; and above, those appropriated for the
use of the ladies. Upon the whole, the ap
pearance of the house is highly elegant, and
the proportions excellent; the scenery is all
completely new, and executed in a superior

775,078 Total increase in yards.... 1,417,833 From the above report, which may be considered as a barometer of our staple trade, it appears that the woollen macufacture of this riding has experienced a considerable extension since March 1809, on a comparison with the year terminating at that period. The exports to the depots of Heligoland and Malza, to South America, and even to North America, have been very large; and it must be clear to Bonaparte, that however tight he may draw his prohibitory decrees, or how ever widely may be extended his continental system, such is the spirit of British enterprise, and the ardour of commercial adven. ture, that they are not to be subdued.

The new Theatre Royal, Hull, was opened on the evening of May 1st. The theatre occupies nearly the whole breadth of the ground between Humber street and a new street parallel thereto; and is situated about half way between the end of Queen-street and the south end of the Humber Dock. is 125 feet in length, and 60 feet in breadth,
