YORKSHIRE. A scoool has lately been established at Bridlington, on the plan of Dr. Bell and Mr. Lancaster, and contains already between 70 and 80 boys. Thomas Guy, a boy of the age of 12, the principal monitor in the boy's school, has completely succeeded, in three months, in organizing the above to the satisfacion of those interested in its success. It may be amusing to the curious in antiquity, to be informed that there was lately found, in digging a grave on the north side of Brotherton church-yard, a mutilated and much decayed pewter chalice, with the lid, which was conjectured, and with some probability, to have been deposited there along with the remains of some person of distinction (perhaps of Lord Clifford or Fitzwalter) who was slain in the neighbourhood of that place, in the civil wars in the year 1461. The fields and neighbourhood of Brotherton afford frequent traces of the events of the above period; for, a few years ago, the iron head of an arrow, nearly in a state of rust, was found in an old wall near the church, which unquestionably was struck there in some of the battles of those turbulent times.

The contest is between the half-price audience and the managers. It appears that there has been no half-price in that, as well as in a great number of other provincial theatres, and the H. P's have not only adopted the noisy and clamorous proceedings of their prototypes the O. P.'s but have been guilty of destroying the windows, and of various other outrages on different parts of the theatre. The magistrates very properly interfered, and tranquillity has since been restored. The bu 1 viness however is to be further discussed in the court of King's Bench.

Neale, when, in company with the Amelia, he fought three French frigates on the coast of France; but which escaped, in consequence of the latter being dismasted, and being close in with the French ports. In the course of their service, his captain, whose character needs no eulogium, became sincerely attached to him, and finding him, in every respect, an admirable officer, in the year 1804, succeeded in getting him made a commander. On the breaking out of the present war, which succeeded the short peace of Amiens, Captain Skinner made perpetual offers of his services, and was at length, in the beginning of the year 1808, appointed to the Hindostan of 24 guns and 150 men, which was employed as a store-ship in victualling Sir Charles Cotton's Fleet, at that time blockading Lisbon.

Died.] At Hereford, of a decline, aged Fitzowen 26, at his mother's house, George Skinner, esq. a commander in the R.N. and late captain of his Majesty's sloop of war Trinculo. In him the service has suffered a severe loss, and it is not right that such a man should steal unnoticed to his grave, without some brief memorial of his virtues and his talents. Captain Skinner was brought up under Sir H. B. Neale, who at that time commanded the St. Fiorenzo, and was with him when he brought his ship with so much judgment from amongst the mutineers at the Nore: he was also with Sir H. B. but for no other purpose, and intended for the destruction of the small French privateers which iurest the straits of Dover; but un accountably as it may seem, hardly ever employed upon this service. In this vessel, os the 18th of May last, as he was cruizing off Bilboa in the night, he fell in with a large French corvette of 14 guns and 130 men, called La Mouch, which he engaged about three in the morning, and continued in close action till about eight, when the French captain took advantage of a breeze of wind to make his escape, and the Goldfinch having suffered much in the masts and rigging, was incapacitated from following him. Captain Skinner had three men killed and twelve wounded. A few days afterwards the corvette was taken off St. Andero by the Amelia, Captain Irby, who, in his letter to the Admiralty, made honorable mention of Captain Skinner's spirited conduct It appeared from the French captain that in the action with the Goldfinch, he lost two men killed and nine wounded. Upon t ́s occasion Captain Skinner received the most flattering letters from the admiral of the fleet, and the post admiral, and his conduct was considered such as intitled him to a better ship. Before he returned, therefore, from his subsequent voyage to Cadiz, he received from the Admiralty an appointment to the Trinculo, at that time just launched, and one of the finest sloops in the service. There was now an opportunity opened to him of distinguishing himself, which was as suddenly closed by one of those unforeseen events which baffle ail human cal culation, and all his hopes o: fame and honer were closed for ever: he had contracted a vio lent cold, on his return from Cadiz, in conse qence of his keeping open his cabin-window at night, for the accommodation of a gentie man who came home with him as a passenger, and who was afflicted with an asthma. By the time he arrived off Falmouth, his disorder increased considerably, and in bis anxiety 1810.] anxiety to land dispatches from the Marquis Wellesley, then at Seville, he was exposed to a great deal of bad weather, in the latter end of last October; and after making use of the speaking trumpet, when it blew a eale of wind, in a fit of coughing he broke a blood vessel. However, as it was the first wish of his heart to go out in his new ship, he pro ceeded to Portsmouth, and had nearly fitted her for sea, when he broke the ruptured ves The physician of the set a second time. fleet then gave it as his opinion, that it was certain death to enter into active service, and ordered him home, where he gradually nectined till death put a period to his sufferings. Such is a brief sketch of the life of this exAs an officer, his merits celient young man. were of the very highest order, and gave promise of his one day earning the right to be enrolled in the annals of his country, amongst those who have done so much honor to it, An attention by their courage and capacity. to his duty that was unremitting, a perfect knowledge of his profession, an intripidity that never failed him when present death was before his eyes, for then have we witnessed him; but above all, a lively regard to the comforts of his crew formed only a part of those qualities which formed his title as an officer. On board his ship he never allowed the meanest cabin boy to be struck, and perhaps there was no other in which there were fewer punishments. Those only, who knew him inti. mately, can form an adequate idea of the kindness and virtues of his noble heart, he was the delight of his friends, and it may be said of him, with the greatest truth, that he was one of the brightest ornaments of the arduous and honorable profession which he had chosen.

OXFORDSHIRE. as As some workmen were lately making a cut for a thrashing machine, through the rick yard of Mr. Wood, of Feaconsfield farm, on the estate of G. Stratton, esq of Great Tew, they came to a subterraneous vault, which, when opened, appeared to have been a burial place, as it was built in a dry sand bed, and was as perfect as when first made, The entrance to the south was 18 feet wide, with an ante passage, and the length was the same, with a half-circle of rough stone at the end; the other walls were plastered; the height was 7 feet. The partitions for the bodies were made with red tile planks of the following sizes: 8 inches and a half by 8 and a half, 11 and a half by 11 and a half, and 21 inches by 11; every one of which was (although a thousand years old) as perfect from the kiln, they were 2 feet and a half high, and about the same length, but no coffins were to be found; they were covered over with large tile planks, 23 inches" and a half by 23 and a half. The planks were ornamented with little squares of stone and pottery-work, stuck in mortar; the ornaments were a vase, fish, and circular variegated lines, some of which are preserved. It would not have been destroyed, but the men, on account of the buildings, could not alter the intended water course. The hones were large, and teeth most perfect in the jaw bones. There were flues inade of square burnt clay. It was found in a place that had been pasture land, and was about 4 inches under ground to the first row of planks. The farm is an old enclosure, the oak trees on which are going to decay. Died.] At Oxford, the Rev. Wm. Finch, one of the lecturers of this city, rector f Tackley, Oxon and Avington, Berks.-Mr.. Wm.
