THEATRES. DRURY-LA NE. Saturday evening the new farce called A Trip to Woks, was re presented for the wcond time. Between the Opera and Farce a beer Billet was produced, entitled The Seephre. This dance is lively, 'entertaining, and likely tp hold a permanent place through the season. The music is exceedingly pretty, and the composer has sheens a discriminate taste in hjs selection of airs. The dancing of lir. and Mrs. Nom.* is exceedingly good. The Ballet was an nounced for repetition with loud and general applause. , COVENT-GARDEN. The . Opera of The Marriage e Figaro was performed at this Nouse on Saturday night, for the purpose of placing Mr. Paxson attain in a second arrangement of his original character. He sang al the mule like an anist ; and hie by-play in the songs is quite peculiar, and never ungraceful The Piece altogether was well acted. The play was the new Tragedy of ;Wiwi, and the House `was crowded to excess. YORK, Nov. 11. • • • GRAND MORNING CONCERT. Yesterday,'a Grand Miscellaneous Concert was per formed in the Festival Concert Room in this city, for the Relief of the Distressed Manufacturers of York shire. It was under the patronage of his Grace the Archbishop of this Province, and was honoured by the attendance of the most respectable families in the city and its neighbourhood. About half-past ten o'clock considerable bustle began to be observable in the streets leading to the Concert Room, by the continued arrival of carriages conveying families and parties to the place of the performance. A little after eleven, the car riages of his Grace the Archbishop of York, convey.' ing himself and family passed through the streets, and at half-past eleven the pet formance commenced. The selection was judiciously adapted to the performers engaged. The orchestra was full, and highly efficient. It comprised, in addition to the leading professional Gentlemen in the city, the band of the sth Dragoon Guards, kindly permitted by Colonel Wallace to attend on the occasion, and the most distinguished amateurs in the county. The whole of the instrumental band cnnsisted of upwards of 50 performers. It was led by Camidge, with hii usual spirit and accuracy, whilst Mr. P. Knapton presided at the piano-forte with his accustomed taste and precision. The auditory, which consisted of about four hundred and fifty,separated at a quarter before four, we unhesi tatingly say, highly pleased with the musical treat which had been afforded them, and equally, if not more gratified, that they had through its means been enabled to administer to the wants of their distressed fellow. creatures. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 11. We learn by the Lively, of a gallant affair of the tender of the Maidstone, with only 25 men on board, in having captured a very floe brig, with 5116 slaves on board, and a crew of 60 men, mount ing eight 16-pounders carronades, and one long 24-pounder on a pivot; she chased her for ten hours, and was closely engaged for nine hours, when she carried her by boarding, without loss on our side except the Lieutenant being seriously wounded : the Brazilians lost ten men killed and ten wounded. The Lively left Spithead on July 20; landed Sir Neil Camp bell and Staf at Sierra Leone on August 26 ; whence they em barked, shortly after, in the Lively, and proceeded to Cape Coast, where they landed on the 22d of September. Sir Neil's neat intended 'visit was to Accra. The Lively sailed from Cape Coast. on the day she landed Sir Neil Campbell there, with the duplicate dispatches of the action which had been fought with the Ashantees, the originals having been sent away six teen days previously in a brig, which has not yet arrived. The Lively did not fall in with any of the ships of the Afri can squadron. The North Star arrived at Sierra Leone on the 28th August, to relieve the Brazen. Commodore Bulkn kft Ascension on the. '9th of August (where he had been during the, rainy season); arrived at Accra on September 16; and sailed on the 15th on a cruise. The squadron was free from sickness. But we regret to hear that the officers and troops at Sierra Leone, were very sickly. Fourteen cfficers and upwards of 150 soldiers had died there within two months. At the Gold Coast also, they had sulfured severely from fever. Mrs. Morgan (widow of ens of the deceased officers ) ; came passenger in the Lively. Lieut. Morgan, of the Navy, sad Mr. Tacker Williams, employed on one of the commissions on the coast, were among the late deaths. The Duchess of KZNT, accompanied by the Princess honoaa, attended by the Baroness de Seamen( and General honoured the performance of Miss MITIOID'S new Tragedy of Foseari, and The Marriage ofFTgaro, at Covent-garden Theatre, on Saturday evening, by their presence. - Count Lupo'''. the Sicilian Minister, transacted busi mess yesterday with Mr. Secrepry Comm, at his office in Down ing:street. Admiral Sir WILLIAM JiMINSTONE Hors, and the Counteu of ATHLONE and suite, arrived at their house at the Admi ralty, on Saturday, from a tour in Warwickshire. Saturday, ROBERT MILLER, Esq. ot Garden-court, Temple, was called to the degree of barrister at law, by the lion. Society of the Middle Temple. The Queen ot Portugal, MARIA DA GLORIA, is little snore than seven years of age, being born in Spring, 1819 t her be. trothed uncle-husband, Don Miami., is just t 5, being born the end of October, 180 g. • Tin A asay.—The 2d Battalion of the Grenadier Regiment of Guards has received orders to march, on Monday next, from Mantbester, for London. The New Parliament will assemble to-morrow; but, as we have already stated and described, the preliminary forms necessarily attendant upon the occasion will occupy some days. The only business in the noose of Crimmins, on the first day, will be the Election of a Setrakian.. The choice cannot be doubtful; for all must agree in the propriety of having the Chair of that Honourable Assembly still graced by the eminent abilities, the affable and dig nified demeanor, of the Right Hon. Tomas MANNERS Surefire. llis MAJESTY'S approbation will probably be signified by Commis sion on Wednesday, in the House of Lords. The ceremony of sneering in the Members of both Houses will be continued during the remainder or the week; and on Monday next the business of the Session will be opened, with a Speech from the Throne. THE TEMPLE CHURCH.--A congregation more crowded than usual was drawn to this Church yester day, to hear the new Master, the Rev. Mr. Bassos, preach his first sermon in that capacity. Lord Svowsl.l., Mr. FONnLANQUE, and almost all the Benchers of both Temples, with several other eminent Banisters, were early in their places. VINTRY WARD.—The result of the scrutiny into the qualifications of the voters for the respective candidates to succeed the late Mr. Alderman MAGNAV, is aosiously expected. If it should be favourable to Mr. Sheriff WINCHESTER, the question whe ther a person can be eligible for an office, the main duties of which he is fur a time expressly prohibited by law front fulfilling ? will be long and arduously contested in the superior courts; and if Mr. %amine& is decided to be disqualified from being sheriff, the consequences will not be confined to that Gentleman alone, nor to Mr. Sheriff FAREBROTHSIL; but the elections of Mr. Alder man CHEASTOPHIM/ SMITH, M.P. and Mr. Alderman liairoarg, will be set aside; and, P erhaps, also that of Sir It. C. Give', Rim who has been an Alderman above thirty-five years. Sir Vic:HARD was elected Alderman of liishopsgate Ward on the of September, 1790, and was Sheriff elect at the time, filling the latter office from Michaelmas, 1790, to 1791. Alderman Illtroati commenced his duties as Sheriff at Michaelmas, 1811, and WAS return,. d Alderman for Coleman street on the Mt. of May following. Alderman E. SMITH entered upon the office of Sheriff at Michaehilae, 1807, and succeeded Sir 11ILOOK WATION, Dart in the representation of Curdwainers' Ward, on the ..:7th of October in the same year. If the scrutiny should turn out to be in favour of Mr. WILDE, it is said Mr. Cuooa, the third candi date, has sonic objection in reserve, which he feels confident will set aside the return of that ; but which objec tion he dues nut intend to press against Mr. should he prove to have secured a 'majprity of votes. Sir JOHN EANIVIt was Sheriff, and Sir WATKIN LAWNS S;lerlil elect, when they were chosen Aldermen ; but we believe the question of dual eligibility was not raised at that unit. THE LATE STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT. • EDINBURGH. Nev. it. The United Kingdom is, we are happy to state, in perfect safety, having arrived in Leith Roads early yes terday morning. ' We have been favoured with the fol lowing particulars by a Gentleman who was a passenger on board the United Kingdom when the explosion took placc: _The United Kingdom, having been compelled by strong northerly gales and a heavy sea, to come to an chor in the Humber, off Grim s by, f or two successive nights, a considerable number of the passengers resolved to proceed by land. Notice was accordingly sent to the GrahaM, a steam boat that plies between Grimsby and Hull, that if she wuuld come along s id e of t h e Kingdom the following morning, she would receive a large addition to her passengers. On her approach, Captain Oman, of the United Kingdom, lowered and manned his boats to carry his passengers on board the Graham, in case she should not be able to come close alongside. This, however, she effected, and molt of the passengers of the United Kingdom who intended to land, to the number, perhaps, of from 25 to 30, were already on board ; when, in consequence, it is believed, of the steam not being allowed to escape when the pad dles were stopt, the boiler of the Graham burst with a tremendous explosion. The scene that followed was fearful enough, some were knocked down on the deck, and more or less dan gerously wounded ; one poor man, who must have been immediately above the boiler, area blown towards the, mast head, and fell dead on the deck. Ntimbers were thrust overboard, of whom a few were drowned, but most saved by the prompt assistance of the boats that had been lowered ; and the torn up planks of thedeck, and trunks, portmanteaus, and packages of Various kinds, were borne into the air, mixed with dust, vapdur, and water from the boiler. A rush immediately took place towards the gangway, by which the passengers had descended into the Graham ; but in spite of this alarming circumstance, and the other dangers to which they were exposed on this occasion, it is singular and fortunate enough that not one of those, who had em barked from the United Kingdom suffered more than, in some few cases, the loss of a trunk or portmanteau. All got safe again en board, along with the survivors of the Graham's crew and passengers; and great merit is due to the Medical Gentlemen on board, particularly Dr. Hutchison and Dr. Becker, for the zealous and able assistance they rendered to the sufferers. Captain Oman immediately determined to run his vessel up to Hull, for the accommodation of his own passengers, as well as those of the Graham, and to tow the disabled boat into port. The number of lives lost on this melan choly occasion was not ascertained when the passengers of the United Kingdom left Hull. Three dead bodies were on board, and four or five more were known to have been drowned. One of the passengers of the Graham has left a widow and seven children; another passenger, whose wife was also on board, was killed, and a subscription was made for her, when ten pounds were collected. One of the Grimsby passengers was dreadfully scalded. Six or seven were named as being missing. Oar informant did not see so many as twenty persons in the water. Most of the luggage is understood to be lost. Professor and Mrs. eillans were passengers on board the United Kingdom. They were, along with many others, on board the Graham, with a view to landing at Grimsby, when the accident took place, and had a most' providential escape, being at the moment standing within a few feet of that part of the deck which was torn up by the force of the explosion. Happily they sustained no injury. INQUEST ON THE BODIES. Thursday an Inquest was held at the Mansion-house, Hull, before George Coulson, Esq. Coroner, on the bo dies of Mr. Cundill and William Mellins. Thomas Downs, the first witness, deposed, that he was mate of the Graham, of which Valentine Morrison is Captain. On Tuesday, the 7th instant, the Graham proceeded out of the harbour of Grimsby, for the pur. pose of sailing to the United Kingdom steam packet, to take on board passengers f it- Hull. The United King. dom was then lying in the Humber, in Grimsby Roads, two miles nearer the sea than the mouth of the har bour, and nearly opposite the Borcum Buoy, on the Lincolnshire coast. The Graham was run up along side the United Kingdom, and was fastened by ropes at the head and stern. After laying a gangway from one vessel to the other, passengers began to come on board the Graham. The engine of the Graham at that time was stopped, and was discharging its steam by the safety-valve, and the discharging steam-pipe. The Graham had been seven or eight niinutes alongside the United Kingdom, and most of the passengers had got on board, when the explosion of the boiler of the steam engine of the Graham took place. As soon as the steam was blown away, and the first confusion was over, wit ness saw several persons in the water, and others escap ing back again from the Graham to the United King durn. Witness saw John Cundill brought on board the Graham, after being taken out of the water.He appeared to be dead when brought on board. Witness, almost im mediately after the explosion, jumped on board the United Kingdom, and saw William Mellins lying on deck, bleeding from his head, and, apparently Witness had been about 18 months Mate of the Graham. The boiler was examined and repaired at Selby about a fortnight since. Tne engineer of the Graham was on board the United Kingdom a short time before the acci dent ; but whether he had returned on board the Gra ham or not witness did not know. Witness steered the Graham Item Grimsby Haven to the United Kingdom, under the direction of Morrison. The engineer's boy was on board the United Kingdom at the time of the explosion. The Captain was on board the Graham at the time, on the paddle-box, holding the Graham off the other vessel. After the paddles were stopped, the weight taken off the safety valve, and the boiler discharging its Steam, it is very usual for the engineer to leave the engine. The Graham had only one boiler. Witness taw that the weight had been taken off the safety valve at the time of the explosion. He could not speak of the thickness of the boiler, but considered it safe when it had been repaired, as before stated. Part of the boiler ap peared to have been blown away by the explosion. There are two new boilers making for the Graham. Witness observed, about the Plth October, steam escap ing from the boiler, and since that time had been parti cular in seeing the weight taken from the safety-valse, Samuel Waltham; iMeMAst man of the Graham, was on board on Tuesday last, alongside the Unified King dom, then lying in Grimsby Ituads. The Graham was fastened to the United Kingdom with a head and sten. cope. Stu had Hut been in that 3itpation above eight or ten minutes bet, re the accident took place. The bode' then burst. The paddles had stopped, and the steam ras escaping at the time. Saw the boy take the weight off the 4afity valve is soon as the Graham got'alongside the United Kingdom. The steam then escaped in the usual manner. • Saw John Cundill taken out of the water, and assisted in. getting him on board the Graham, and afterwards in getting him on board the United Kingdom. He appeared to be dead at the time. Wit ness supposes he was killed by the explosion. Did not see where he had received any injury, Assisted In re moving the body, as well as that of Mellins, to the Old Ferry -boat Landing, in the evening of the same day.— Mellins was taken on board the Graham at Grimsby. He had left the United Kingdom the day before, with the intention of going to Scarborough. Had never seen Cundill before. Does not know how Mellins met his death, George Stephenson, assistant engineer, was not on board die Graham at the time the accident happened. Went on board the United Kingdom soon after they arrived alongside. Has seen the boiler since the erplo. sion. The top was opened right across, like folding doors. Did not notice the thickness. Never thought it unusually thin. The vessel is now lying in Redcliffe Channel. If it had been a good boiler it certainly would not have exploded. Jacob Urwin, engineer of the Graham, was upon the paddle box of that vessel at the time the accident happened. Had been on the deck of the other vessel, and was returning on board of his own. Witness wok the command of the engine, and stopped it on coming alongside the United Kingdom. The weight was re moved •fram the. safety valve by .the boy; by witness's direction, before the engine was stopped. The steam " ivtis then escaping in the usual manner, as far as he could observe. Witness considered all safe, and then went on board the United Kingdom, but did not stop a minute. Witness hardy knows whether he was on board or not, the time was so :bort. He certainly did not stay. After the explosion, witness only saw one per son in the water, who belonged to the United Kingdom. Witness had been engineer of the Graham 18 months. Has had accidents a little before, by this boiler. It has given way more than once. Has been brought up among steam engines. Did everything in his power, before leaving the vessel, to prevent accidents. From the first has never considered this boiler a good one. Has represented to the owners that it was defective. He told them the state it was in, and left the rest to their judgment. The first day he joined the vessel the boiler had to be repaired. He then told them it was not safe; did not consider it safe even'after it was repaired. He took 201bs. of weight from the safety valve, not thinking the boiler strong enough. The full weight when he came was 561bs. and he diminished it 20, and it has re mained 56 ever since. Considered the boiler then safer, but always had a dread upon him. Thirty.sis pounds is a very light pressure. If it had been a good boiler, it would have borne the 561bs. and a great deal more. Was at Selby when the boiler was lately repaired. - It is some mon,ths since new boilers Were ordered. The owners knew the boiler was insecure soon after he went. Mr. Clay was the agent and acting owner. Wrtness told him the boiler was indifferent, very soon after he first went. Always thought the boiler unsafe ; and in consequence of his representation he had reason to think new boilers were ordered. This boiler was not of a proper thick ness, but very light. Had a gauge on board, but did not use it, as the safety valve was a better gauge. Knows no other cause for the explosion but the unsound ness and weakness of the boiler. The plates varied from an eighth to a' sixteenth in thickness.—When he complained, Mr. Clay said he sliotild have new boilers as soon as possible, and wittleirs expected them about Christmas. Cannot say whether ibis was some months ago. He said so a considerable time since, and a short time since. Does not know the names of the owners, except Mr. Keddey and Mr. Clay. If he had been beside the engine at the time of the accident, he could not have done more than he had done. John Barlett, a boiler-maker, who had been sent for at the request of the Jury, deposed, that he knew the Graham steam-packet. He was employed in the spring of last year, above 18 months back, to repair the boiler. Witness only did some trilling repairs to one of the Rues: From his general observation, is a practical many the boiler was not in a state of security, without great care on the part of the engineer. Valentine John Morrison was master of the Graham at the time of the accident, and was on the paddle•box. At that moment the Graham had only been seven or eight minutes alongside the United Kingdom. The engine was stopped at the time, the weight taken off the safety-valve, and the steam was escaping in the usual manner. After the explosion, witness saw several persons overboard, four or five of whom were picked op; amongst them was the deceased John Cundill,wbo was brought on board the Graham. Knows nothing of the cause of the accident, or of the management of steam•engines, but had particularly cautioned the en gineer to be careful. George Wright, the steward, deposed, that Mr. Con dill was one of the passengers of the Graham. Witness heard him preach on Sunday night, and was speaking to him a few minutes before the accident. At the time of the explosion, witness was on board the United Kingdom. Did not see the engineer of the Graham on board the United Kingdom.. Witness observed, when he left the Graham, that the steam from the boiler of that vessel was escaping in the usual manner. Mr. Rithard Garton was a passenger on board the Graham. S,,aw Mr. Cundill taken out of the water into a boat, immediately after the explosion. He was not dead, but,died a few minutes after he was taken on board the United Kingdom. In his' opinion, the steam from the Graham did not escape in the usual way. Mr. Cundill was a long time in the water. He appeared to have died from suffocation. 1e was swimmiag, nearly exhausted, when the boat took him up. As none of the witnesses could state who were pro prietors of the Graham, and as the Jury were desirous of having the testimony of some of the passengers on board that vessel, the Coroner adjourned the Inquest till Friday; on which day it was again adjourned to ileturday. WINTWORTH AND Cu.'ls Divioarre.—The assignees under the bankruptcy of Messrs. WILNTWORTH and Co. commenced the payment of their first dividend on Mon day, an operation which it is calculated will take up the period of one month, or thereabouts, to complete, as the number of creditors upon the firm amount to nearly 4,000. The daily applicciont for payment are also neither numerous nor heavy. •' Sir William Ingilby appeared, on Monday, at Slea. ford, on his way to London, in a complete suit of drab cloth; foimed entirely of wool, the produce of the coun ty. The Hon. Baronet addressed an assembly of farmers it the Bristol Arms Inn, declaring himself honoured by the present made to him by the Lincolnshire agricultu alists, adding, that he hoped to deserve from them a d second suit when the first was worn out. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE:- r- • , 1 Great anxiety is felt at Lloyd's for the safety of several vessels ihich are known to have sailed in August from the West Indies, and are supposed to have encountered the dreadful hurricane ex perienced on the 6th, 25th, and 26th of September last. From •40 to 60 per cent. has been given to insure some of them. The under 7 neath are the names and dates of sailing of several, for which, more particularly, serious Tears are entertained, viz.—The Trelawney, Capt. CRAWIORD, sailed 10th August; the Philip, FitiniNAK, sailed 15th August, from Jamaica; the Larkins, Cutaneous', sailed from Hammett 26th August; the Sir Charles M'Carthy, Mute, sailed from Nevis 4th September; and the Mary, Fiancee, sailed from St. Domingo r2d August—all hound to London. The Gamas,•B4, Rear-Admiral Sir R. W. OrWAT ' alined 'at Tenni& on the 27th September, and sailed again (the Hums in dompany) for Rio Janeiro. Thursday, the Srau.t.e frigate was paid off at Portsmouth by Sr S. PaCHELL, Bart. When she was released from qilarankine (on her lace return from the Mediterranean) she was inspected by Ad miral Sir G. MARTIN, attended by several Officers, and her men practised at firing with shot, at a target placed 350 yards from the ship, of the size of eight fret by six feet; when, of 30 long guns, mien 'bat went through the mark, and of 18 cannonades, six of them struck; all the other shot were quite close, and must have hit the hull of a ship. The elevation of the long guns was ode degree, and of the cannonades 1i degree.'

MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANK, Nov. IS. We were very moderately supplied with Wheat of our own growth this morning, but quite adequate to the demand, and the adtance that took place on Friday could not be supported ; indeed, the prices of this day se'smight were barely obtained for the best samples of Wheat, while the second sorts were nearly unsaleable.—• Fine malting Barley is not brisk to-day. still last week's prices were maintained ; but the vindkig qualities were a trifle lower.

Coax Escnatkia.-The business done at Tuesday's market in Wheat and Oats was limited, although the attendance of dealers was good. The expectation of further supplies, coupled with the recent heavy imports, prevent the trade from purchasing beyond what is necessary for their passing wants. Bonded Wheat was in good de. mend, and several parcels of good Ilintaic found buyers at 44. 9d. to ss. per bushel; of this description but few samples were offered foe ale. Beans, Barley, and Oatmeal, were not much inquired for. There was no alteration in the quotations of the previous week. Accounts have been received irons Marseilles of Lord Cochrane's having erected the purchase of a Mill fri gate in that port, for the service of Greece, for the sum of 12,0001. his, with Captain Hat;tings's steam vessel, and the frigate from New York, will give a new charac ter to the Greek naval force. New Orleans Papers of the 9th September state that place to have been healthy at the above date, and that Natchez and Mobile were free from sickness. Letters from Bt. Petersburgh to the 16tli of Oct 'her, have been received. They state that considerable acti vity prevailed there in the trade, and a great anxiety exists to effect the various shipments before the frost sets in; but it was uncertain if the efforts of the suer chants would be able to accomplish their desires, in con sequence of the large client of the orders. Fifty•three ships had arrived at Cron.tadt between the 11 th and 18th of October, of which 21 were reported in ballast. A further dividend of ss. in the pound is announced by the Assignees of the Romford Ranks making together 15s. L"rd STRAW:WORD once asked a Clergyman, who was seated at the bottom of the table, " Why a post, if there was one, was always placed nest the parson ltesily (replied the Divine) I can give no reason for it ; but your question is so odd, that I shall never see a goose without thinking of your Lordship."
