DRURY-LANS rinaTRE, The . Comedy of The H_ypowite was acted yesterday: LISTON having left to per at the Haymarket. and OXSZART, who succeeded him in Masswoms, being un fortunately no more, that character was assumed by HARLEY. It is not of that bustling cast in which the vivacity of this actor is seen to most advantage, but his versatility is such, that so a part be comic, he cannot fail. His Maranon:a was not in look what it was in LISTON'S hands, and °SPURT also may be said to have had some personal advantages, as the countenances of both those performers were certainly more capable of farcical caricature. But he gave most of the points %% kb much ludicrous force, and without straining to, (arch them, hardly missed one. His Sermon. in which his coloured handkerchief was very effective, was re peatedly interrupted by la ug h ter , an d had t he honour r f an encore. The other characters were cast as usual, and were all, particularly that of Cantwell by DOWTON, excelently performed. Accounts from Canton have been received via Cal cutta, to the end of December. From these it appears that, early in that month, a fire had broken out at Canton in two places, Car penter's-street and below the French Folly, but it was fortunately estinguiabed after having consumed many houses, and threatened destruction to the city for twenty hours. Opium was without de mand at Canton, and the holders were heavy sufferers. The Can ton Government still persisted in their demand for the two men, which they think will he complied with next season, and expect ta . co English subjects will arrive to suffer execution. Advices have been received from Bengal, via New York, dated so lateks the 6th February, which are import .at. Letters from Goalparab, of the 6th January, had reached that Presidency, which stated that a severe battle had been fought on the 24th December, between the Burmese and the Cachans,in which the former sustained a decided defeat, having with their allies lost abort 800 men and four chief, of rank. They were afterwards Termed into Assam, as far as their stockades at Rosseh, after having advanced for three days into Cachar. They were stated, at the date of these letters, to be re-assembling their forces at Rosseh, with a view to another attack. The Burmese had been previously warned that Cachar was under our protection, notwithstanding which they persisted in their hostile movements, which of count had rendered concurrent measures on the part of the Governor-Ge neral necessary. A Presidency division Order bad been issued at Calcutta on the :Stst January, directing all Officers belonging to certain corps to join their respective battalions immediately, which preparation was the fruit of the avowedly hostile measure of the Burmese Government. Letters from Neu foundland state, that there had been a continuance of boisterous weather for some time past, in which several vessels had sustained more or less injury. According to private letters of Saturday from Paris, it mould appear that the French Cabinet is to consist for some time to come of one member less than it has hitherto done, it being the intention of M. de VILLILt to retain in his own hands the portejeuille of Foreign Affair% in addition to the functions he exercised before thedismissal of M. de CHATEAUBRIAND. This state. spent rests on goad information from Paris, and, if cor rect, at once puts an end to all speculations respecting the piobable successor of that Minister. It is confirmed, indeed, in part, by the mere delay in making a new no. mination, although that has been explained by some on the supposition that the state of the King's health is so unfavourable as to render him incapable of attending at present to an affair of this nature. It is generally believed to be the intention of M. de VILLELR, should lie continue in office, to abandon all measures for the reduction of the French debt, at least for the present Session, and probably till he finds himself placed be yond the possibility of a second failure, which might prove fatal to him. The Constantinople letters mention that no positive information had been made public there, of the pro tress of the Ottoman squadron, but• it was generally supposed it would fir st relieve the besieged fortresses, and then lard the troops destined to form the army of the ensuing campaign. These letters speak in terms of great ridicule of the equipment and discipline of the Ttirkisk fleet, which, from the few Algerine seamen now left on board, appears to he only conspicuous for awkwardness. No fresh disturbances had occurred at Constantinople since the prior letters, and it was the general opinion of the European merchants and resi dents, that the Porte appeared inclined to pursue a mere liberal line of policy towards the Greek people than has hitherto been followed, and it was even said that the Ca pitan Puha was authorized to offer terms to the Greek Senate, but what those terms were had not transpired. The returning prosperity of the country is pretty clearly evinced by the considerable advance which has recently taken place in the wages of every description of servant, particularly those employed in husbandry. At all thelate hirings throughout Cumberland, the rise has been net a little remarkable ; for though the last was what was called the " long half year , and consisted of almost seven months, yet the wages given in many places for the ensuing five months have been above 40 per cent, higher than they were for the preceding term. Monday, one of the waggons belonging to blr.Welsh, on its way from Manchester to Preston, was suddenly thrown into a blaze while stopping at Westhoughton. The accident was occasioned by the bursting of a bottle ef vitriol placed in the tail of the waggon. Nntwith standing the efforts of the waggoner, and the innkeeper at Westhoughton, the damage is estimated at 500/. The floods were so great in the low. parts of Essex, en Thursday add Friday last, as entirely to,impede tra velling. The Chigwell and Ongar coaches were pre vented coming to town, and it was quite appalling to witness the quantity of hay and other agricultural pro perty which was seen floating down the streams. Tim Bawls-rotnancau—One of those annual eta. bitions so familiar to Londoners, but so striking to foe teignen, took piece yesterday—the Procession of ode of our trades, the Brass-workers, through the cities of London and Westminster, with an unusual degree of pomp. Each of the persons in the Procession carried some emblem of his trade, hats, calques javelins, to • znahawks, itc. formed of bra s s ; including also four men on horseback dressed in complete suits of copper, chain, brass, and scaled armour or mail. They were atcrenpanied by two bands of music, and made a most glittering display.

Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Lavers, dated the 25th of April : " We enclose directions for making and entering this port, drawn out by Mr. C. Dnuunna, Master of the John Canto, who knows the coast and port well ; and the information, we are certain, will be of great use to strangers " SAWING 11111111C1101111 FOS =TRIMS TIC rosy OW LAOVATRA. Lagnayra, weeding to the survey of Fidalgo, lies in lat. 10. 37. N. and long. 67.2. W. from Greenwich, which position seems very correct. " Vessels from St. Thomas's, IlSrbadoes, Su. in running for this harbour, should shape their course so as to make either Blanquilla to the East, or Orchilla to the West. Both these islands are tole rably high, and may be seen six or seven leaves olf. From a fair birth between them steering down they ought to endeavour to make hi with the main land six or seven leagues to the windward of La guayra, and then run along shin for the roads. The land in the neighbourhood of the port is very high.* It rises ersdueliy front Cape Carders to the famous Sills of Caracas. " Leguayra in every direction from the sea appears to be lope 'diately beneath the Sills. Thu town and fortificationt (which are white) may be seen distinctly at five or six leagues distance. • " ape Blanco, about four miles. to the Westward of La g uayr a , is on ly a small tongue of land ; and strangers approaching Laguayra must not depend upon making it as a cape; without they are close' in shore, and within three or four leagues of it. " The land between Cape Girders and,.Puerto Covello* may be approached without the least danger within two miles during the' day; but from sunset to eight or nine o'clock in the morning, during which time there is no breeze, vessels should give it,a wide birth— say six miles, lest the sweU and current, both of whichlisvaro sow.- dency to the shore, should drive them un use rusks. It is highly necessary to observe this, as instances are not wanting of ships , driving past the harbour in the night. " Vessels making Lagnayra in the evening should haul their wind in time, for fear the wind should fail them before they come to an :anchorage. " The town of Laguayra is situate on the easternmost part of a small bay. Goods are landed and shipped by means of antics or boats, holding about two tons, from a wooden pier, which suns out from the middle of the town. This operation is sometimes dif ficult, and often very dangerous, on account of the surf. " Vcssels bound to the anchorage must be careful to have as many of their square sails furled's& they possibly can spar% and a good scope of both cables in readiness, as the regular breezes are generally very stroog, and the ground in many places foul. Chains are to be recommended. (Silined) " CONSTABLE DUD:NINO, Commander of the English schooner John Cate. • Laguayra, Feb.; Int."

We have received letters from ort-an-Priace, dated the Bth ult. at which time the kart of invasion from France had wholly ceased. They repeat a statement which has reached us through the American papers, of a treaty having been set on foot with the French Go. vernment for the acknowledgment of their independence, and that Commissioners had sailed for Havre fully accredited for that purpose by Beier. The last Tut key Mail has brought letters from Smyrna of the 19th tilt. and from Constantinople of the 26ch.

Trade was dull, and the market generally was glutted with goods, which appears to be the general complaint in the ports of the Mediterranean. ASCENT OF MR. ORM. Friday afternoon Mr.V i ern made another aerial ea cunion from Coventry, accompanied by a Mr. Brooks of that town, who, we understand, paid fifty guineas for his seat in the car. After a voyage of fifty minutes' duration, and notwithstanding the weather was very tempestuous, the extent of their journey did not exceed fifteen miles, as they landed in a field belonging to Mr. Taylor, at Grandborough, without the least accident, and returned to Coventry the same night in a chaise and four. The barometer being injured at starting, Mr. Green imagines the greatest altitude of the balloon' was about one mile from the earth. =Nommim= GREA t FIRE. EDINBURGH, JUNE A most destructive fire broke out yesterday in the lower story of a tenement, occupied by Mr.Gunn, spirit dealer, at the head of the Royal Bank Close, who had the day before removed most part of his furniture, for the purpose of getting the front of his shop brought forward to the piazzas. The immediate cause of the fire does not seem to be ascertained. Of course the report generally circulated that it was occasioned by some persons throwing a glass of spirits in the fire is unfounded, the house being at the time uninhabited.— The alarm was given a little before one o'clock, and the fire engines were promptly upon the spot; but, from the quantity of panneling and other timber work in the building, the flames spread rapidly, and the house in which the fire had originated, with the one behind it, were burnt down in three hours, while two other tene ments adjoining, the one leading into the Parliament square, and the other on the East side, within the square, had also caught fire. It was hoped that the former of these would be partially saved, but the flames have completely gutted the building, and the other house exhibits an almost equally ruinous spectacle. The Weekly Gironide's publishing office, Mr. Sutherland's bo.)kbinding shop, the Pitcairn Insurance office, and several old established writing-chambers, were in the premise, which have been consumed. The extensive premises of Messrs. Bell and Bradfute were at one period in the most imminentdanger, one of their windows, conti guous to the house where the Ore originated having been in flames, and some books ignited, when Mr. Smith, bookbinder, having for tumtelygot access, immediately removed part of the stock, and thus prevented the flames extending through the premises. Mr. Smith also roomed several Individuals who were asleep in their own apart ments, and who otherwise would all probability have perished. Another young man, named Waded', generously and heroically made his way to the third Boer of the horse first in flames, end was the mesas of rescuing a whit family from a miserable death.— There were 'therein Malec ports el the eatendve tenement who were awakened by the rapidly weed* laws, and several of them had great dillkuky he draft tilde mope, and securing at the same time the safety of their beellies, biding. in some caves, infant children. With the esespdes of a town dicer, who was scorched by the Ere, and one or two Individuals slightly bruised, we believe no personal injury was sustained. There are rumours current of " one or two persons mbar& bet we believe they are unfounded. Messrs. Syme, Tak, and Co. Mr. Budge, of John's Colfee-bosse, bir Brash, spirit dealer, Mr. Ferguson, tobactuoist, and Mr. Nelson, bookseller, were fortunate in getting the greater part of their stocks removed ; and the books and papers of several writing and other ogees were dee sewed.

It consists of three lad ders, of the height of dew ordleary stories, stretched out at the bottom in the form of a triangle, and bound together at the top, on whisk is fixed a platform capable of holding two men, and fenced reeled by an iron railing, thus giving the firemen an excellent and co-needing position, front which they can direct the pipes of the eeillee with the is, wo -ate 111111111•1111111 preornas e tt 'at:Witte ato m the Sun Company purchased one by way of experiment, and to ea the ingenuity of the inventor; and the eminent service ids it rendered op Thursday morning will, we have no doubt, in duce the other Insurance Computes to follow their example. During the whole of yesterday the High -street, op. posite to the destroyed tenements, was completely ' , I..cked up by the crowd ; and those whose business led' them to the Parliament House, or Castle-hill, found it most expeditious for them to make their approach by the Old Assembly Close. The mob was excluded from the Parliament Square, to which, however, the Gentle men attending the Courts of Law obtained access. To wards the east side of the square, military parties, in undress] were working the fire-en g i nes , w h ere p i pes , playing from the roof of St. Giles's Church, and the ad joining houses, occasionally discharged thezr.selves on the head of some unfortunate limb of the law, whose zeal for the public safety had decoyed him from under the snug roof of Mother Justice into imprudent proxi mity with the man of water. On the outskirts of the military appeared a numerous deputation from the adjoining Courts of Law, headed by eminent Coun-• sel in their gowns and wigs. On the outside of these again stood a motley assemblage of old men, women, and children, who were guardi n g thei r li tt l e wrec k s o f furniture, which had been deposited, or rather flung, under the piazzas ' • and never was there seen before, at the doors of a Hall of Justice, such an assem- 1 Mage of odds and ends as garnished the piazza of our Parliament House—beds and baskets,chairs and cradles, books and barrels, spits and pokers, pictures and papers, flower-pots and other pots, shock-dogs and Rbbies,l petticoats and breeches, lined the whole front of the edifice, with the exception of one narrow passage by which the brethren, within and without the walls of Court, reported to each other, from time to time, the state of affairi in their respective territories. Here sat an Irish lady protecting her property, more effectually than all the men of Rights about her could have done; there stood a toans-woman laying the case of her par lout table, which had eloped with five gold guineas in its custody, before three celebrated Counsel. In one corner the maiden of some ancient spinstress basted to deposit her mistress's china equipage in a bunker, in which duty she was assisted by a parcel of W. S.'s ; in another, a parcel of ragged urchins sought to hide themselves from the approach of an Advocate, " least the Minister in white breeks," as they called him, should put them in gaol. The loss sustained is very great, from the greater number of the sufferers having neglected the precaution of insurance. • The following ,odes has been Issued : Old Church, Parliament-square. " In consequence et the calamitous flee which took place yester day morning, a considerable part of the stork of Messrs.

The Red House Inclosure, Battersea-fields, yesterday, was a scene of much attraction in the two great Pigeon Matches, between the first shots in the kingdom. The ground was fuU of amateun of the sport, and the shooting was grand. Messrs. Adam Arrowsmith and Sboubridge. These shots woe tonsidered the best, with another or two amongst those ohms wfio are not men of fortune in their own right as Gentlemen. The match was 40 birds from a trap at the Inelosure boundary of about 110'yards. The grand total killed out of two twenties was—Arrowonith, 30 ; Shoubridp, The birds were the very best blue rocks, strong on the wing; and nothing but hitting in form could lay them. It was evident that the birds of Mr. Shoubeidge were the easiest of the two to kW. The match was for 100 sovereigns. The second match was between Osbaldeston, Req. and Lord Kennedy, for SOO sovereigns, at forty birds each, 30 yards from the trap. These Gentlemen shot last week a similar match, and Lord Kennedy was one ahead after shooting a second day. Mr. Osbaldeston killed in the course of his shooting eight birds in succession, mot epon a fair calculation half the birds at thirty yards from the trap is considered good shooting, and equal to 16 from ti at sixteen yards from the trap. Lord Kennedy was un lucky in his shooting, and Mr. Osbaldestso won the match by bag ging twenty-four birds from fifty. FOOT RACE.
