ANSTRUTHER, APRIL 7. , MELANCHOLY LOSS OF A FISHING-BOAT. During the dreadful gale on the afternoon of Thursday, the 6th of April instant, a Cellar(l'yke fishing boat was lost about six miles to the eastward of the isle of May, and her whole crew, consisting of eight perions, were unfortunately drowned, excepting one man, who was picked tip by another boat, after remaining about an hour in the water. By this calamitous event, four pooewidows, and a number of helpless children, totally unprnvided for, are left to be wail the loss of their busbaeds and fathers. Two of the persons who have suffered were lately married; and their widows are preg nant ; such as were unmarried were the support of aged parents or of younger brothers and sister& In short, each of these poor mourning families have a claim in one way or other on the sympa thy of the humane ; but upon one family the stroke has fallen with peculiar severity; a father and his two sons are among the deceased. The following is a list of the boat's crew :—David Taylor, sen. David Taylor, jun. William Taylor, Robert Pratt, William Prank, Andrew Heugh, Rubt. Corsterphin, all drowned; W. Pratt, saved.

SECONDARIES' OFFICE. CRIM. CON.—KINNAIRD O. ROSARTSt In this case the plaintiff, one of the Pages attached to his Majesty's household, sought compensation for the seduction of Iris wife by the defendant, a serjeant in the Guards. • The friends of both parties were in attend ance, and those of the defendant appeared much dis satisfied at the result. The Counsel for the plaintiff described the injury as one which combined a great variety of sufferings ; his client was a man of domestic habits, and had always acted with the greatest affection towards Iris wife, who, until the defendant interfered with his happiness, re turned that affection with a truly conjugal spirit. The loss of a woman's heart was, under any circumstances, an afflicting event to a man who had formed an es• aggerated estimate of her accomplishments and heart, but there was a compromising power in the ;slide which' seldom failed to come in aid of the disappointed, and transformed the image of love into its opposite, at least mitigated the ardour of that violent passion. In a case of this nature there was, however, nothing to alleviate the feeling of distress. A man could not, wiihout a severe pang, be separated from a woman with whom he had lived happily upwards of ten years, and society was so constituted that the loss, in the minds of the multitude, carried disgrace along with it. The situation which the defendant had the howlsr of filling rendered the disgrace more poignant, as he was more liable to be pointed at by those who sur rounded him; and the wound .was not less painful, because it was inflicted by a person in a low rank in life. Inability to pay large damages could not be pro perly pleaded in mitigation on such an occasion as this. It WAS an occasion upon which, if the defendant did not pay in purse, he ought to pay in person ; and the object of the plaintiff was, to punish, but not vindictively, a person who had violated one of the most powerful obli gations. A peen. iary recompense was quite out of the question, but a pecuniary infliction was the only mode of atoning for the offence. The defendant had, by allowing ju.fgment to go by default, admitted his guilt; and it remained for ta rive honest men to determine• in such a manner as would prevent him from exulting in the success which had been attended with such lament able effects. It should be considered also, that the obligation to liquidate the debts contracted by the pl•intiff's wife with her paramour was one to meet which secu rity should be give n , an d t h e ver d' ct o f t h e Jury was the only means by which that obligation could be ant cip.red. Maria &tinders stated, that she was the daughter to the plain iff by a former wife. Her father was married about ten Kars, and witness lived continually with them until up to the time of her (witness's) marriage, which took place about two years ago. Her father always treated his wife with all possible kindness, and they lived together on the best terms, and most happily. Mr. Edward Clarke stated, that he knew Mr. Kin. naird and his wife upwards of two years; and that as long as he knew them Mr. Kinnaird behaved towards his wife in the most affectionate and attentive manner possible, and contnued to act in the same manner up to the period when she left him on the Bth November last. Mr. Richard Miles stated, that he knew the plaintiff and his wife from the month of October, 1823, when they went to lodge a his house; that he always ob served the plaintiff pay the utmost attention and respect to his wife, and that they seemed to live happily together. The Counsel for the plaintiff said, he bad several other witnesses to call, but he thought the testimony already given quite suilicient. The SECONDARY observed, that he thought there ought to have been some evidence given of the circumstance under which the act of adultery was committed, as by that means the Jury would be enabled to decide as to the quantum of dama ges w hi c h ought to be given. The Counsel for the plaintiff replied, that as the defendant had admitted his guilt, he thought it quite unnecessary to go into any further circumstances of the case. The SECONDARY, in charging the Jury, said it ap peared in evidence that the plaintiff and his wife lived most happily together, and that certainly the defendant had inflicted a great injury upon the plaintiff. How ever, it is usual in those cases for the plaintiff to inform the Jury of the peculiar circumstances under which the injury occurred. This the plaintiff declined doing. How far that should influence the Jury with reard to their verdict they w o u ld t h emse l ves d ec id e . The de fendant had, by not coming into this Court, admitted his guilt: and it only now remained for the Jury, to say, under all the circumstances, what reparation ought to be made to the plaintiff, for the loss which he had sus tained in the seduction of his wife. The Jury consulted a few minutes, and assessed tits damages at 506 HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY. LAMBE v. FLETCHER AND SONS. --- This was a case of pilotage, and was of some import- ance to the shipping interest, as it turned on the construc tion which ought to be given to the Act regulating the allowances to pilots. Lord SrowELL presided on the occasion, assisted on nautical points by two of the brethren of the Trinity. Both sides were agreed as to the facts. The plaintiff was taken on board in the Downs, and was to navigate the ship, a Baltic merchantman, to Sheerness, and thence to Gravesend. This duty be performed, but as he was detained nineteen ho'srs at Sheerness, while a debarka tion of 400 troops and baggage took place, he contended that the navigation of the ship from the Downs to Sheerness, and thence to Gravesend, were two distinct acts of pilotage, and that he was entitled to charge for each as under, according to the rules laid down by the Act, viz. For shipping himself in the Downs . .El 4 10 0 ' For piloting the ship thence to Sheerneis 11 0 6 For ditto Thence to Gravesend . 6 1 5 aelB 11 9 To these two first items no objection was nude, but it was contended, with respect to the third, that as the Act only allowed 111. 6d. for piloting a ship from the Downs to Gravesend, no extra charge ought to be made for the deviation in touching at Sheerness, be lyond an allowance for the time thus employed, reckon ing at the rate of Bs. a.day, that being the sum allowed to pilots, when detained unkt:the,quarantine Jaws. ;,, Lord Srowza, In *flouncing his iuclgment, said it would be better, in cases where deviations froth the courses provided for by the Act were int6idect for the parties at the onset, to come to . some definite and equit able arrangement. With respect to the allegation, that in this case there were two distinct acts of pilotage, he considered it not to be sustAined, as the pilot knew from the first that he had to touch at Sheerne-,s, and thence proceed to Gravesend. The only question then was, what allowance ought to be made for this deviation, and' upon the whole, he was of opinion, that in addition t, the two first items claimed, hr ought to allow him the sum of 31. together with the fall costs of suit. EXECUTION OF THEODORE MOORE FOR cotgING. Saturday, this unfortunate man suffered the awful penalty of the law upon the new drop in front of Staf ford gaol. It will be recollected that Moore was con victed at the Summer Assizes, last year, but a point of law, which was argued in his favour with much inve nuity, was reserved for the decision of the Judges. That decision, as we have before stated, was fatal to the pr soner ; and it was made known to him on the 10th of February last. This notification, however, was received with apparent indifference ; and he frequently remarked to his lellow prisoners, that "he would not believe they meant to hang him, but merely to, frighten him to tell all he knew." However, when the Assizes commenced. and he was desired to prepare to receive sentence of death, he pricked his finger, and wrote in blood—" The odore Moor e, from Birmingham, expects to be murdered at these Assizes, Stafford, March 10, 1826." And after he was condemned, and returned to prison, his first expres sion, on entering the lodge, was, " They have murdered me." The unceasing exertions of the Chaplain to awaken him to a just sense of his fearful situation, were nearly, if not quite, unavailing. He continued to eat his food heart ily, slept soundly every night, and scarcely ever devoted his time, as far as could be ascertained, to devotional exercises. His wife, and a little child, with his brother, took leave of him on Friday, the day preceding his execution ; but this solemn interview was not marked by the affection and grief which usually rend the feel ings of the most callous spectator on such mournful occasions ; he passed the fleeting moments allowed for the final separation, in repining at what he called unjust punishment. On the morning of execution, after being liberated from his irons, he asked for a cup of tea, which he drank, and then proceeded with the Go vernor and Chaplain to the Chapel, where the Rev. Ordinary, after the most earnest and affecting exhor tations to repentance, administered to him the Holy Sacrament. The appalling tones of the death-bell now announced that all was ready, and die executioner pro ceeded to pinion the arms of the unhappy culprit, upon which he said to the Governor—" They had'nt ought to hang me." The melancholy procession then moved forward, and when it reached a certain point Moore was placed on a hurdle, according to the terms of his sentence, and drawn to the lodge. He then walked to, and ascended the platform with a steady and firm step; and whilst the executioner adjusted the rope, &c. he did not exhibit the slightest fear or agitation. For a short time, however, he appeared to join the Chaplain in fervent prayer. The cap being then drawn over his face, and a little delay ensuing, the wretched convict, turning to the Governor, said, " Governor, don't keep me in this misery any longer." These were his last words—the drop fell at ten minutes past eight. He struggled much, but *as dead in three minutes. After hanging an hour, his body was cut down and delivered to his friends, and on Wednesday last it was decently interred in St. Mary's Church-yard, Stafford. ENGLISH OPERA Housi.—Tuesday night, MATHEWS' Invitations were again aceepted by a numerous and fashionable audience, who testified their sense of the banquet provided for their entertainment by the best of all tributes of applause to an actor like Mr. M.—that of laughing from the beginning to the end of the Entertainment. Mr. HORACE SMITH, one of the Authors of cg Re jected Addresses," whose talent in imitating the words and even the thoughts of others, is known to be unrivalled, has obtained " ample room and verge enough" for the exercise of this amusing faculty, in his novel of Brawthktye House, in the pages of which, Old Noll, Charles IL and bis brother the Duke of York, the Duke of Buckingham Lord Rochester, Etherege, T om Killi grew , t h e jester, Lady Buckingham, Nell Gwynn, Milton, huh Walton, Marvel, and others of that extraordinary period, once more live and move, and have their , being." him—Monday evening a fire broke out in the sta bles belonging to Admiral Sir GRAHAM MOORE, which for some time threateneJ destruction to the whole of that valuable and elegant mansion, for so many years in the occupation of the family, at Brook's-place, Cob ham. After considerable exertions on the part of the inhabitants and neighbouring parishicners, the fire was most fortunately prevented from spreading beyond the buildings where it commenced, which were completely razed to the ground. Three very valuable cart horses were burnt to death. The steam-boat the Enterprise has arrived at Cal cutta, in perfect safety, after a passage of 113 days, from Falmouth. This first attempt of steam navigation be- tween Great Britain and India, is therefore a complete failure as to the saving of time; but steam practice will soon render the intercourse between England and Asia perfect, since it has, in this instance, been most satisfac torily proved that a steam ship is capable of encounter ing the storms which occasionally prevail in the sou thern latitudes. There has been only one person left for execution on the Western Circuit this Lent Assizes ; this unfortunate individual is named Samuel Gilbert, tried at Taunton, for highway robbery. The sdpply of Wheat and Flour imported into Lon don in the six months preceding the I,st instant, is small, as compared with the last two years, notwith standing an influx of about 24,000 quarprs of foreign (we believe Canada) Wheat.—The following are the quantities in each period: Six Mouths preceding April 1.

Am I his or am I not ?" - Great as the merit of this exquisite rnorceau 4s, who will doubt it, we must think that Mr. Fox!) is somewhat of a plagiary, and that he had in his eye the following lines: 48 Giles Jolt as sleeping in his cart be lay, Some pilfering villain stole his team away, Giles, waking, cries, Why ! what the dickens. what?

Last night, a private rehearsal of the new Opera of Oberon, composed by CARL MARIA VON WEBER, took place at this Theatre. The music is highly appropriate to the subject of this fairy tale; the Overture is a very fine• composition, and the Airs and Chorusses have been formed with great atten tion to the sentiments expressed by the words.— A scena, by Mr. BRAMAM I " Yea, even• love to fame must yield," in which there is a description of a battle, is in a grand style, and was given by him with great energy. The employment of the orchestra in this composition will be greatly admired. The music of Miss PATON'S part in the second and third acts, was omitted, owing to that Lady being accidentally struck by a scene, but we were happy to learn that she sus tained no serious injury. The following song by Madame VIsTRIS, is a favour• able specimen of the poetry. A lonely Arab maid, The desert's simple child, Uoskill'd in arts by which 'tic said Man's love may be beguil'd. Like some uprostted flower am I, Upon a river Hung, Te float a little hour, then die ) Unheeded as I sprung! But if thy friendly hand Should lift me from the tide, And bear me to some distant land To bloom thy bosom's pride: 0, sooner from his darling rose, The nightingale shall roam, Than I disturb that heart's repose Which lore bath made my home ! Ilsere is another song for Madame Vcsrnts, of a lively playful cast, which she gave with her usual viva city.—The scenery, by Messrs. Gas Eva, is splendid, and the landscapes very beautiful. Osa such of the dresses as were exhibited nn expense has been spared. Those who expect to find in this opera as many of those cap tivating aits as in the freischutz, which are never effaced from the memory, will alone be disappointed in the music. WEBER presided in the orchestra. The scene of the sun rising in stormy clouds over the waters that were sullenly heaving upon the desert shore, was the finest thing of the kind we ever saw. It was, as much as an effort of art could be, a perfect illusion. All the gradations and varieties of light and shadow shifted over the troubled firmament, until at length the clouds Disappeared and the clear full day broke upon the re splendent ocean. This scene excited rapturous ap plause, and may be considered the best of the whole. Amongst the company present last night were—His Royal High . mess the Duke of Sussex, the Duke and Duchess o f A t h o l, th e Countess of St. Ant on i o , Lord Essex. Lord and Lady Rolle, Lady Strange, Lord Burghersh, Lady Sarah Robinson, Sir Thomas Lawrence. Sir George Clarke, Sir George Warrender, Mrs. Coutts, Mr. and Mrs. Lushington,&c. &c. DESTRUCTION OF THE ROYALTY THEATRE. FURTHER PARTICULARS. - -------- The performers had all left the theatre, when about one o'clock, Evans, a man etweloYed in the gas works of the theatre, which is contiguous to the stage, was at work at the furnace, making sufficient gas fur the use of the house for the next night, when, on looking to the stage on the 0. P. side, he discovered one or two of the set pieces wete on fire, which spread in every direction. Evans immedia , ely aroused an old man, named Barney, and his family, who have resided many years in the theatre, and they, with the utmost difficulty, effected their escape into the street, such was the velocity with. which the fire raged, owing to the dry state of the materials composing the scenery. Evans then made his way out at the stage-door, and alarmed Mr. Fraser, the proprietor of the Black Horse public-house, who ran down stairs as fast as possible, to render all the assistance he could, and by the time he gained the street, the flames were bursting through the stage door. The utmost fears prevailed ter the safety of the whole neighbourhood, as in the rear of the theatre were the spacious sugar houses of Messrs. Croucher and Bishop, and Messrs. Clinker, and if they had caught fire, the whole of Dock-street, which is inhabited by poor families, must have fallen a sacrifice. At three o'clock the roof of the theatre fell in. This circumstance some what checked the flames, and the firemen were enabled u. .4 proach the front of the building, and consequently play upon the ruins with more effect. At about half -past four o'clock the conflagration was subdued. The theatre now presents one immense mass of ruins, and we could not have conceived that it occupied such a vast extent of ground. wea n the bre was at its height, a sailor rushed through the flames, at the extreme hasard of his life, and extricated a pianoforte belonging to 11r . Dunn, from the Green-room. Mr. Dunn, the lessee of the house under M. Vicker, had, prior co tile opening of the establishment on Easter Monday .for the summe r se amm , gon e t o a grea t expense i n b eautifying the interior painting the trout of the theatre, and bad engaged an efficient compli many o f w h om , i nc l u di ng Mr. Booth, are great stiff • The slule loss is estimated at 154404 The LORD MAYOR held a Court of Aldermen, yester dz:., at Guiltih4ll, for the general dispatch of public business.

TIJVIDAY. - - - The company was by no means so numerous as yesterday; it consisted wkoUy of the Noblemen, Gentle Men, and (nisei., ip the habit of visiting it, and interested in the events or the running. Tlie thinness of company was attributed to the weather, it blowing a perfect hurricane, and the dust flying in an intolerable degree. The ground is very unfavourable for running, being bard, but rather loose at top. The horses were greatly annoyed while running by the dust, which nearly choked them. This inconvenience, however, was slightly ameliorated by the wind blowing the-dust before them. A partial fall of rain took place in the morning, but it did no good. The races yesterday being later than appointed, C. Wilson, Esq. (the father of the turf), and one of the Stewards, attended the weighing; and notified, that if time was not kept, the regular fines should be inflicted. This bad the desired effect.
