COVINVGA SDEISTInaIIiirZaSS night the Opera of Gay llfaineriv was brought out at this Theatre; for the purpose of introducing to the Public a new candidate for theatrical distinction, who undertook the part of Henry Itestrast. It was announced as "a first appearance on the Stage," which in this in stance was manifestly true. The embarrassment of the Gentleman was indeed so excessive, that he not unfrequently sang quite out of tune, although a highly-cultivated musician, as we are assured--hav ing just returned from Italy, where he has been for several years studying, to improve his knowledge of that art. In the first scene, in which his voice is heard while his person is invisible, he sang with such effect as to call down universal applause, and to secure a gracious reception. But he had scarcely entered upon the Stage, when all his efficiency ap peared to desert him. The scene seemed quite to appal him,• and he evinced no symptom of - recovered confidence throughout the Piece. The audience, therefore, expressed much disappointment, especially upon his ill-advised attempt to sing " Scots take has tvi Wallace bled," in which his failure was such as to produce a general hiss, instead of that rapturous encore which - has been uniformly excited by success ful performers. His age seems about 25, his figure is of a very superior order, and his features exceed ingly interesting. •The repetition of the part was not announced. The other performers in the Opera met, as they deserved, the most ardent applause, particu larly Misses BEAUMONT and G REZN, and Mrs.Fanctr. Sr. PAUL'S Caoss.---There was formerly what was called " Paul's Cross," fronting the Cathedral ; but, perhaps, no modern attempt at reparation has surpassed what occurred at St. Paul's on Thursday, when the workmen employed there succeeded in slinging ropes from the stone gallery to the railed gallery, and thence round the pinnacle of the cross, an order to repair it. Several hours were consumed in this undertaking. Two of the workmen then as cended by these rope-ladders, and not only got upon the very top of the cross, but wrote their respective names on it, to the eastward, with chalk. Yesterday, as on Thursday, it was amusing to witness the per sons, with telescopes, who were eyeing the chief work man while sitting quite astride on the cross, just above the ball, and who, when discovered, was no larger in appearance than a crow. Repairs, it is un derstood, are wanted both with regard to the cross and cupola. It appears that the notion of an internal , access front one to the other was entirely wrong. ROYAL EYCK* tIGIrAt 11 O'ClOCk this forenoon, in the presence of some hundreds of persons, the top stone of the new dome at the Royal Exchmge,was ele vated to its place. In weight it ts above half a ton. In the centre of it there is a cavity of upwards of 40 inches deep, to receive the iron to which a globe is to be attached, and the whole surmounted by the h;TPer,the crest of Sir Ta os. GRESHAM, WllO bui r t a th s ; Royal Exchange, in the reign of Queen ELIZABETH. The stone was placed with loud acclamations, and the colours of St. Mary Woolnoth were hoisted at the extremity of the scaffold, on the south side. The workmen will all be entertained at dinner by the Master Mason, at the Union Tavern, Bagnigge-well., The Baron of Roast Beef, at the Mansion-house, on Monday last, weighed 305:1b5. A few days since a fox entered a farm yard at Compton Pauncefoot, and seized on a hen which was following her chickens, which being perceived by a gal* cock, he flew at the intruder in fine style, aLd with owe blow of his spurs killed the fox. THE ARMY. Four Troops of the 6th Dragoon Guards arrived' at Bristol on Saturday from Birmingham. Whet are speedily to embark for Ireland. Monday, a division of the 16th Lancers arrived at Derby, on their route from Dorsetshire, and on the following morning proceeded on their route to Shef field, the head-quarters of the Regiment. The Ist Battalion of the Royals are to replace the 75th in the lonian Isles. The following letter has been received by the Lord Lieutenant of the County of Essex, from the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Stnmoutit, one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State : a Whitehall, April 19, 021. " Dols Loan—l have the honour to recommend to your Lord ship:* consideration, the expediency of so arranging the period of training the Militia of your Lordship's County, that it may not terminate on any Sunday, as considerable expense will thereby be avoided. I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient humble servant, " SI DMOUTIL" By the last Mutiny Act, dated the 24th of March, it is enacted that any Court Martial, before which any Non-commissioned Officer or soldier shall be tried and convicted of desertion, may direct, if it shall think fit, in addition to any other punishment such Court may award for such deserter, that such de serter be marked on the left side, two inches below the armpit, with the letter D, such letter not to be less than half an inch long, and to be marked upon the skin with some ink, or gunpowder, or other pre paration, so as to be visible and conspicuous, and not liable to be obliterated. We regret stating that the yellow fever, in its most malignant form, has prevailed amongst the troops and Military Departments composing the Garrison of Barbadoes, for more than three months, and had not entirely ceased when our Report, dated the 12th January last, was made. The prompt measures, however, recommended and adopted, at the instance of Mr. GREEN, the Inspector ' s of Hospitals, were likely to arrest the further pro gress of the disease in the 21st, or Royal Scotch Fu sileers, the last corps infected with the malady, and which measures had successfully terminated this destructive pestilence in the Royal Artillery, Royal 'Sappers and Miners, Quarter, Barrack, and Store, Departments, where it first commenced it sravages. Every case of yellow fever, amongst the troops and Military Departments, as far as circumstances , would admit, was removed to the Naval Hospital, which was converted into an Establishment of rigid Quarantine, and where no other order of disease whatever was admitted. The medical duties of the Establishment, and the attendance of the sick, were confided to Staff• Sur geon DOUGHTY, assisted by Mr. PALMIII4 Assistant- Surgeon to the Forces. Sir JAMES Ficia,owss has witnessed the disease on so many occasions, during an extended service of thirty-three years and upwards, that he is enabled at once to practically appreciate the merits of his Officers, I and discriminate their conduct on occasions the mokt arduous, unbiassed by opinion or prejudice, and which the following extracts from the Department Orders, issued on the occasion, will best testify: EXTRA CT OF MEDICAL DEPARTMENT ORDERS.

In the event of further admissions into the Naval Hospital of cuss Of Fever, Mr. NUM will, an every occasion, cane& with Dr. Aavnua on the subject. The humane and zealous manner in which both Mr. Donown and Mr. Parana have performed the anxious duties of that Hospital, under many disadvantages, for upwards of three moths continuance of that fatal epidemic, Yellow Fever (in this otherwise healthy Garrison), s the fullest and most un. approbadon : and the Inspector of Hospitals requests e i r d eth will accept his most sincere thanks on this occasion, and which be assures them shall be represented to the Army Medical Board in that favourable light which such conduct deserves. Mr. Douourr vrill be pleased to cease further medical duty in Barbadoes preparatory to his embarking for St. Vincent's, that is, to perform fifteen days of observation without entering a ward or sick room. (Slim') R. GREEN, Inspector of Hospitals. It has been before mentioned, that a considerable alteration in the uniform, &c. of the Royal Marine Corps is to take place on the Ist of June next. The hat at present worn will give place to an elegant cap, similar to that worn by the 85th Regiment, and the alterations to be made in the uniform of the Officers will be truly handsome. WILL OF THE LATE MAJOR GASIBLIThe late Major THOMAS GAMBLE, of his Majesty's 47th Regi ment of Foot, left by his Will and Codicils, which were proved in Doctors' Commons on the 16th inst. the sum of £14,500, Five per Cent.

A legacy of £l5O, to one of his Executors, is accom panted with a wish that be could in justice make it a larger sum ; and similar observations are added to other trifling bequests. The whole personal estate is sworn under £25,000 sterling. A nephew and niece are the residuary Legaties. The above comprised nearly all the deductions. Sir HENRY MoxTarsoa, PATRICK BARTLE; and PHILIP SKINNER, Esqrs. are the Executors who have taken the probate, the Earl of BRIDGWATER, the other Executor, not yet having accepted the trust.

We mentioned yesterday that another affray had taken place between a party of Smugglers and the Preventive Service, off Herne Bay. The following are further particulars :—lt took place about three o'clock on Tuesday morning, immediately in front of the Ship public-house, at Herne Bay. A large party of smugglers, in number reported from 100. to 150, came down from the interior of the country, and forming themselves into three divisions, one pro ceeded to unload a boat, which came on shore on the beach, while the others posted themselves to the right and left, and kept up continued collies from fire arms, so as to prevent the approach of the parties of the Coast Blockade, stationed in that vicinity, till the cargo of the boat, consisting, it is conjectured, of contraband articles, packed in half ankers, was con veyed away in carts, which had been brought in readi ness for the purpose, and guarded by those who had accompanied them. At this moment, while the boat remained on the beach with her crew, consisting of five or six men, Mr. SNOW, a Midshipman of the ISeyzarr, and belonging to the Coast Blockade, rushed forward and alone attempted to seize it, whe n, being resisted, he pointed his pistol, which missed fire, and he was fired at in consequence by the persons in the boat, and fell on the beach dangerously wounded, one ball having passed through his thigh, and another through his shoulder, and lodged under the blade-bone. Ile was conveyed, after lying some time on the beach, to the Ship public-house, with but little expectation of recovery; but subsequently the ball in the shoulder having been found, there are hopes of a more favourable issue. The above account has reached us from report only, and as in this, as in all similar transactions it is difficult to ascertain little but the result, we do not pledge ourselves for its ex act accuracy. Another spirited affair between about 200 Smug glers, the majority of whom were armed, and a small party of the Officers and Seamen employed on the Coast Blockade Service, took place on the same morning, near Hythe. The smugglers, it is conjec tured, bad landed some parcels of contraband goods from two rallies, when, on the alarm being given, they were attacked by about A dozen of the Blockade people: a running fight was maintained with great intrepidity by the seamen, supported every instant by increased numbers; but the smugglers get their goods clear off, pursued however nearly three milts by their gallant assailants. We are sorry to learn that Lieut. TURNER received several wounds in the affair, from buck shot ; but it is believed they are not dangerous. One seaman was dangerously wounded. It is thought that many of the smugglers are severely wounded. Tuesday last, the BADOZR cutter sent a galley into Dover harbour, with 120 tubs of contraband spirits on board ; and on Wednesday, the LIVILY cutter sent another galley into the same harbour with 125 tubs ; having captured them off that coast. These are sup posed to be the boats which attempted to land their cargoes near Hythe. A floating Chapel is about to be built at Hull, for the religious instruction of the numerous seamen, who, in the course of their business, visit that port. Last week she body of a man of the name of Ste venson, whose employ was that of carrying shrimps from Gravesend to London, was picked up off Graves end. His boat was upset in a squall on the Ist inst. Extract of a letter from a young Gentleman, a Midshipman In his Majesty's ship Tess, to his fa ther at Berrowstonness, in Scotland, dated Port Louis, Isle of France. November 5, 1820:—" I was re cently ordered into an open *tat belonging to the Henrietta, tender to the Tau, which was entizing round the island to prevent the traffic in slaves with Madagascar. The boat was commanded by the master, Mr. GORDON ; and we bad been'three weeks in her, when, on the 28th of October, an unfortunate end was put to our cruise. The Henrietta heaving in sight, Mr. Goanom wished to see the Officer com manding her, when it coming to blow hard, and quite dark, our boat shipped a sea, and down she went. I could swim a little, and with great diffi culty reached the reef. I immediately went to the barracks, and sent off a boat to save, if possible, my unfortunate companions; but the night being dark, nothing could be seen of them. Next morning I' Went of myself, and rowed about to see if I could get the bodies of our master and the men, when at a little distance I perceived a number of large sharks with something they had got ; on nearing them, I per , ceived they were eating poor Mr. GORDON ; I fired at the one who had him, which let go its hold, and I assisted one of the men in getting the remains into the boat, when an immense large shark came from under the boat and seised the remains from us. It sprung so high out of the water, that we saw almost its whole body. Mr. GORDON is most deeply la mented by all in the Tass, and has left a wife and three children to bewail their irreparable loss." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING, 1821.

A pugilistic match took place a few days since at Pluckley, in Kent, between a son of Vulcan and a Knight of the Steel-bar, which was very strongly contested by the latter; but the former being too strong for his opponent, the Knight gave in—after which the patties retired to a public-house,' and set tled the matter over a can of ale. We are sincerely sorry to hear that the Countess of WARWICK, while riding in Hyde Palk with her Noble Lord and husband on Thursday evening, was thrown from her horse with great violence. Besides several severe bruises, two of her Ladyship's ribs are broken. The report yesterday morning, by Dr. BANKHEAD and Mr. Haautstne, who attend her Ladyship, was, “ that though the passed a restless night, she was in other respects as well as could be expected." Wednesday, a small boat with two Ladies upset near the Flood Hatches, opposite Redcliffe House, Bristol, the residence of Lady Sutra, and one of the Ladies, with the boatman, were drowned ; the other, - a Mrs. Gatertirns, was saved, owing to the intrepi dity of one of the servants belonging to Lady &urn, who, though he could not swim, succeeded in drag ging the Lady in a senseless state to the shore, and conveyed her to the house, where she experienced the greatest attention ; and every means were resorted to to restore animation, which ultimately proved successful. The body of the other Lady, a Mrs. Bonatta, has since been found ; but the boatman has not yet been picked up. The accident was occa• sioned by the boat keeping too near the Hatches ; when, to save her from going ashore, the man hove out the grappling on the wrong side, which brought her up with a jerk, and completely turned her over. Lady SMITH directed every attention should be paid to the surviving Lady, and she now lies at her hos pitable mansion in a very weak state. Monday, at Foot's Cray, a woman who had time from the country to go to London by the coach, but finding that full, agreed with a drayman to be con veyed hither, and was in the act of mounting the dray, when she unfortunately bent the whip which was stuck into the shafts, and that striking the horses, they started off, and threw the poor woman anger the wheels, which passed over her body and killed her on the spot. An accident occurred, •on Thursday se b nnight, at the Lead-works in Chester : the flew rm.,f of a-build ing, which was considerably damaged by the late fire, suddenly fell in on the workmen in the mom be low; five of them were seriously mounded, and one lies in a very dangerous state. In Jedburgh, the week before last, a female child, about 18 months old, bad a needle taken out of its body a little below the right shoulder, by Dr. Mt. sox. It is distinctly remembered by the parent, when the child was about two months old, that a needle fell froth the breast of its mother, and it was always thought that it went into the mouth of the child; it is now certain that such had been the case, as the Doctor declared, that the needle had actually goo, 'through the child's body. The following singular occurrence took place near Dartford ) on the 14th instaatt.-4 ladder which led up to a granary, belonging CO Mr. BENSTEAD, of Hartley-court, being deficient of some rounds, a rope, with a 104 at the end, was affixed, to enable persons to ascend. On the day in question, a boy, about eleven years of age, named Bowers, was found dead, and suspended by his neck in the loop of the ropel Amongst the convicts lately sent from Maidstone jail for transportation, were Pigdex,Gayion, Boorman, and Bridger, the four men who were left for executicdt at the late Assizes, but who have since been reprieved. 5 • 'I
