She left Vice- Admiral Sir Pulterhey Malcolm with the strength of his fleet In the harbour of Rieke an the 20th of September. Sir Pokorny bad then only just beard of the cessation of hostilities be tween Russia and the Porte. The Raleigh on her way down called at Malta and Gibraltar. From the latter fortress she soiled en the let inst. leaving there the Dartmouth frigate.— When the Raleigh quitted the combined squadrons, the united force consisted of in English, two French, and seven Russian sail-of-the line ; three English, two French, two Basilan. one Dutch, and one Austrian frigate ; two English, two French, and two Russian sloops of war, and one English bomb. The Russian fleet was an chored in mid channel between Tenedos and the Main, while in. shore abreast of them was the English fleet. Up to this period no intimation bad been given of the return of the Russian fleet to the Baltic • consequently , as the movements of the British squadron will depend on those of the Russian, no idea was entertained of Sir Puiteney diminishing his force, by sending back to England any of the men-of-war, by which his power was strengthened under circumstances apparently lees auspicious to the tranquillity of Europe, than those that have subsequently transpired. Various rumours prevailed among the squadron; it was considered by some that the Russians would winter at Poros • If sea , our ships will remain out; by others, that they would winte r at Toulon, the defer. use state of the squadron being such as to render hazardous a home ward-bound voyage in the winter season. Another rumour circulated was, that Immediately on the ratification of the treaty, the Russian squadron would quit the Mediterranean for England, under the escort of a British squadron to insure the safety of their crews, is the event of accident in crossing the' Bay of W.eay. Orr takers have well traversed and surveyed the plains, with Homer in their hande, and that ancient bard is now as well read in that quarter as Hamilton Moore or Inman. The Raleigh is ordered to 'Woolwich to be paid off, and will sail to-morrow. We have accounts from Maks' to the list October, (fourteen days subsequent to the sailing thence. of the Raleigh,) at which date the Britannis, Ocean, Melville, Spardate, and Madagascar, were lying there. The Gloucester bad proceeded to the Archipe. 'ago ; the other ships named were waiting the return of theWeazie sloop of war, which had _been dispatched to th e Vies Ad m i ra l f or orders. The Blossom, surveying ship, Captain Owen, was at Madeira on the Ist of October ; the lightning, 12 guns, Capt. Dickinson, was there on the following day, and the Adak*, !Mauna, Caps. Ilarryat, there on the 12th of the sense month. The Cadmus sloop of war, and Thetis frigate, were at Buenos Ayres on the 10tb of Sept. The Shannon frigate, Capt. Clement; and the Victor, le, Capt. Keane, were at the Havannab on the Ist of September. His Majesty's ship Alert arrived at Valparaiso from Coquimbo the 14th of June. The -Heron was to sail from Valparaiso for England, after the 4th' August. The Slangy, for Nassau, N.

Few,' if any, of our modern dramatists, have enjoyed such pleasurable celebrity as the natural drollery and cc centric humour of O'KEE:E•i: acquired for him ; and, of his numerous productions, not one has more essenti•►liy contributed to the maintenance of that cherished illusion, which was to him " precious as Fame itself," than the vivacious whimsicalities of " Wild Outs, or the Strolling Gentleman." • The veteran has worn his histrionic honours so meekly, and endured with such cheerful resignation, and calm sub missiveness, that severe privation which left him 0. D.rk, dark, dark amid the blaze of an o n," that it were an ungenerous and ungracious task to dis turb that soothing complacency which sheds the light of other days" around him in the gloom of age, by dis cussing the pretensions of his plays to the rank of legiti- . mate comedy, or determining their merits by an invidious comparison. He wrote at a time when• the supremacy of the actor exacted tribute from the talent of the author, in every department of the Drsinici* when the very " pur pose of acting" was so perverted, that the stage, instead of " holding the mirror up to Nature," reflected but the peculiarities of the performer; and characters were shaped, like costumes, to the figure and the fancy of the wearer. To such an excess was this arrogant assumptioncarried— an assumption, we lament to say, that has not yet lost its baneful influence upon the favoured and fortunate disciples of Thespis—that nothing but the personal consideration and intellectual power of the dramatist could resist its domi nation; and circumstanced as O'KEEFE was, he had no alternative between implicit compliance with their hu mours, or the abandonment of his favourite pursuit ; and it is no slight evidence of his skill, that under such diffi culties—" cabin'd, cribbed, confined," as his own im pulses were, he should have produced entertainments which were not only successful in the hands of the per formers to whose capabilities they were expressly suited, but have retained their hold upon the popular feeling, through every change of representatives, and every caprice •of public taste, up to the present hour. We know not, in the. extensive range of Dramatic Biography, a more affecting incident—as regards the sensations of an author in the hour of probation—than " the blind old man" has himself so faithfully presented to us in his entertaining and interesting " Reminiscences" where he discloses the breathless anxiety with which, in dark and mute suspence, be awaited the decision of the public upon one of his favourite productions, and describes the joy with which its foetus •cfieered and consoled him under his affliction. Such joy he might again have felt—without the painful anxiety—could he have witnessed the en thusiasm with which,.on the fall of the curtain on Satur day evening, the audience demanded the repetition of "* Wild Oats :"—the applause was reiterated, and the pit rose, as one body, to pay the tribute of respect to the memory of an old favourite—of admiration to the great talents of the performers by whom the Comedy was so excellently sustained. It has been the fate of " the Strolling Gentleman" to survive almost all .his original associates, and certainly all but one of his adequate re presentatives : and when we look back to the days when RICHARD JONES-DOW "the bold Thunder" of the Stage, first attained distinction as a Handy, 8110114,t0n, or Rover," —some five or sic and twenty years ago Heaven save the mark l—and behold him with all the freshness and volatility of spirit which then rendered his performance so entertaining—with all the buoyancy—the whim—the gaiety of early life, chastened but not subdued : we own that the only "Rover" of the present day— " has 'shed In skUl, Moth moss than he has lost In Ere."— The bluff and absolute Sir George Thunder htts so little in common with the exquisite refinements of Lord Ogleby, and the self-torturing fantasies of Er Peter Tea characters which FA RREN has made so exclusively hie own, as to wear—" without co-rival all their dignity,"— that his successful assumption of " Old Abrawang" is an excellence of no ordinary kind. LISTON'S Ephraim Smooth—gravely ludicrous, and ludicrously grave—is as unique as any of his performances, and irresistibly comical. HARLEY imparted not only rustic simplicity, but genuine feeling to Sim ; and his defence of his father from the anticipated resentment of Rover, elicited the applioe' which it so well deserved. It were but niggard praise to say that WA LLACK acquitted himself admirably of an arduous duty in the personification of John Dory, when in point of fact, he not merely sue 'ceeded in reconciling us to the appearance of the gallant and graceful hero of tragedy, in the habiliments of the rugged tar—but enhanced, by his quaint humour, and involuntary bursts of honest passion, the general effect of the play. Miss Mon DAUNT looked the Lady Amaranth excellently, and supported the quiet mirth of the fair Quaker with a demure and imperturbable pleasantry. We . can conceive few efforts of dramatic skill more arduous than the perusal of an eloquent passage on the stage, which requires the aid of declamation to give it full effect, an& yet the reader cannot attempt to impart to it that passionate declamation Ur aid of ac tion, which the orator prmounced to be the eiienc3 ari the grace of eloquence ;—in such an effort Miss MOR-. DAUNT was successful—aye, triumphantly successful— and gave such effect to the celebrated passage of " Mercy," that we are satisfied her excellence is yet but imperfectly developed, and that the chaplet of her fame must be wreathed from the ever-blooming flowers of our SIIA K ESP EA RE'S Parnassian Paradise. As a contrast to the placid and tranquil Lady Amaranth, Mrs. Oncrea's Jenny Gammon was very delightful.—The acting throughout was untitled to the highest commendation, and merited the spontaneous . burst of approbation with which the repetition of the play was called for. • The pupils of the Royal Academy of Music are about to give a series of representations of Italian Operas. Those performances will be given in the Grand Concert room of the King's Theatre, which has recently been fitted up with appropriate scenery and decorations for the purpose. The orchestra, as heretofore, will be composed entirely of the pupils of the Academy, under the direction of Mr. C. POTTER. .

Ste; The paragraph in your paper of Wednesday respecting the Literary Union, was substantially correct as far as it went ; but you omitted several leaaing par ticulars in the 'foundation of the society which might as well be made known. In the first place. not in.lrely the professors of literature,science, and art, are considered as eligible members, but the friends of those pu; snits, naine:y, noblemen and gentlemen, whose tastes and pre dilections are directed towards them, distinguished iu thy community by higher refinement and loftier intellyctuai evitare than others of their class, besides individuals who tiny be considered indirectly interested in their progress. this then is not such an exclusiveness in the Society's regulations as your paragraph would seem to imply. In the next place, the admission fee, and annual paymem, are a moderate as possible, while cure is taken that none but men of unexcentionable nersoaal character are ad . nutted. It will not be denied that men of the best character, taste, and information in 'society, way profitably meet in into -court* agreeal-le and useful.

I have only to add, that nearly two hundred names have been already enrolled as members, some in the very highest order of society, and the applications of candi dates* have been beyond precedent numerous.

CRUIKSHANK:SSCRAPS AND SKETCHES. " Democritus, who was always saith SteeveLb, lived one hundred and nine years ;—Heraclitus who was always crying. only sixty;" and hence taking it fir granted that a long lire is more desirable than a short one, be inferreth th laughing is better than crying. On bunie such principle of longevity as this, we suppose, it is that George Cersikshank—seeing that once merry England is becoMe a nation of 't crying philosophers"—is ever and anon coming out upon them with his " Scraps and Sketches ;" with charitable intent to lengthen their lives by com pelling them to laugh at themselves and each other, in spite of the inanifold miseties with which the " March of Intellect" has some how or other envirnned them. Of his ability to do this, it would be a work of supererogation in us to speak—inasmuch as every body is very well aware of it ; and so we will content ourselves with giving them some idea of the Scraps and Sketches" which he has just published for their relief in the lachrymose premises aforesaid : London going out of town is the title of one of them ; anti from such a title some folks might expect that it is an illustration of the close of the season, when the town, or the ten is rattling on at the rate of 12 miles an hour, behind poor panting and perspiring pos ters to bathing places, bird butcheries and billiards in the pro vinces. But it is no such thing :—it is the march of bricks end mortar: which, like the starch of intellect, is playing the wry d-1 with the country. And though such mstaings are no joke, and but little calculated to excite laughter in those who are so old-fashioned as to retain any sort of respect for dame Na ture in this age of artificiality; yet even these must laugh to se,: how the artist has animated all inanimate thine% and managed to bring on said London " in cubic phalanx firm," and " in embattled squadron, rushing on" agaiust the discomfited and Illitignrosfities.
