THa HINDOSTAN EAST INDIAMAM.—The Jan accounts received of the wreck of the above (hip Rate, that one hundred of the Company's bales of woollens had been taken out, but it was toppled the major part were damaged. They will be fent up by the firft opportunity. Another gun brig is gone down, and they row guard about the (hip all the night. Great exertions are making to get the cargo out, under the diredion of the Company's Maßer Attendant, and the different perfons employed on this occafion work day and night when the wea• ther permits. Some private property has ago been preferred. Not any of the filver has yet been re covered ; but hopes Rill remain, if favourable wea ther continues, that a great part of it will be fared. The (hip Rill keeps together, which is attributed to the iron knees. Several boats belonging to the (bore have been Rove to pieces againft the wreck, but no lives 1011. Some of the guns have been forced through the gun-deck into the hold, none of which, it is imagined, will be attempted to be got out, as the (well from the eaftward is confider able. We have the pleafure to Rate, that Captain BaLsrow is getting better. This Gentleman has been very much indifpofed (ince the unfortunate lots of the Hannorran, and Rill remains with the wreck. A young tradefman of Lincoln has wagered lo guineas, p. p. that he rides a certain mare, now in his poifeffion, from Lincoln to Manchefter, and back again, in 48 hours. He is to flan on IWed nefday the 9th of February, or pay forfeit. The odds, at prefent, are in his favour. Manchefler is about 90 miles from Lincoln, fo that be will have do miles to travel upon the raid mare, in the above time. Should the roads and weather prove good, he is likely to accomplith the talk. Thurfday a bet was decided between Pepper, a butcher, and Wood, a baker of Dover. They flarted on two fine honks that had been prepared for the purple, from the Red Cow, at Dover, for Hythe, about i i miles diflant, and were attended by a large concourfe of people.— Wood's honk fell down about three quarters of a mile on this fide of Hythe, and the butcher was in about four minutes before his antagoniii. The race was performed in forty minutes, and many bets were depending. At Doncafter the fall of (now was to great, on Wednefday and Thurfday, as to render the roads nearly impaffible. In a traverfe at Chelmsford, the King againft Braintree, for not repairing a highway, a verdia was given again(' the parifh, and a fine of aool. ordered to be levied upon them. At the late eleaion of ten poor Curates, whole incomes do not exceed 401. each, to receive tol. each from Mr. STOCK'S charity, many petitions were read, reprefenting circumftances of much M ires: after due confideration, the following were feleaed to receive the Paid donation Credit".

DkU2Y-LANE THEATRE. — The only novelty at this Theatre Friday night, was the performance of lachim9, in the play of Cymbeline, by POW I IL, eke BARRYMORE, in which charafter he appeared to great advantage, particularly in his firft interview with lmogen. Throughout the fcene the refined hypocrite and the bold libertine were delineated by the hand of a mailer. In the fubfequent fcene (the bed chamber) lie was rather too rapid, and did not fpeal: in a fufficiently fubdued tone of ' voice for the fituation ; through the reft of the play he was very fuccefsful. The Poe cc in Pcfl humus and ',nen were particularly intereaing, as ufual. Saturday night the Theatre was uncommonly crowded to witnefs the reprefentat:on of the Beeux Stratagem. Mrs. JORDAN appeared as Mr.r. Ssllea, and Mrs. Ilmtt.ow as Dorinda. Covent Garden on Saturday attracted the public by the new Opera and the new Pantomime. Both performances gave great fatisfa!lion. THE EMARCHIONF.SS OF AIFRCORN'S THEATRICALS. —For fome weeks the topic of converfation in the fafhionable circles of higher lift, has been the pre- parations making at Bentley Priory, near Stanmore, for theatrical reprefentations ; and it was expected from the liberal expenditure going forward, that every thing as far as regarded fcenery, dreffes, and decorations, would be on a fuperior kale. This expeaation was not difappointed ; for all the dif tinguifhed vifitors at the Priory on Friday night (about r2o) have fence fpoken in terms of the higheß encomium, not only of the feenery, dreffes, and decorations, but of the finifhed Rile in which each individual charafter was fupported. A great critic, who was relent, obferved, " that it was impoffible for the charafters to have been mote ju dicioufly caR, even in a profeffional corps, under a veteran manager." The Prince of War.ss raid he was never better entertained. The performan ces were Mrs. INCHIALD'S lively Comedy, " The Wedding Day," and " Who': the Aloe ?"

Lady CH•RLOTTS Ltansay pourtrayed to the life th affectation and abfurdity of Lady Autumn. Mrs. „loos KKK a t.s, in Mrs. Bamford, evinced all the delicacy of manners intended to be conveyed by the authorefs ; and the Hon. Mifs BUTLER, confidering the trifling part allotted her, acquitted herfelf with er/a:. Mr. JOSIPH MAI:MOCKS reminded the audience of the veteran Kum, fo fully did he enter into the fpirit of the part. The lively manners and eafy gentle. manly addrefs of Lord Rairkaid could not have been better depicted than they were by Mr. WIL LI/1N MADDOCICS. Mr. PINISTOII Lamas, and Mr. L4wasiice, likewife, did full jullice to the parts allotted them in the drama, and the Lords Halal Lvov were cont derably above mediocrity. In the Farce Mr. Wit. MADDOCK{ played the pan of Old Doll:, with original humour, and Mifs Burcre, in Mifi Diary, had much merit, and was highly applauded. The other charafters were fut tamed by Meffrs. P. and W. Liras. The performances commenced at nine o'clock, and ended at twelve, when the company fat down to an elegant (upper, and continued at table till three o'clock. The Saloon of the Priory was appropriated for the Theatre, being well adapted to the purpofe. All the fcenery, which is very] beautiful, was painted under the dirdlion of an eminent anal, for the occa (ion. The curtain fcene is uncommonly grand ; the defign architdlural. The inftrumental band in the orcheflra, with the exception of two Italians, confined of araatears. and their performances gave not a little eclat to the en tertainment. The Prince of WALts fat on a Rate chair, ele vated, covered with erimfon velvet, elegantly em broidered with gold, in the centre of a femi• circlet around, benches were placed, covered with cufhions, and in the interior, chairs were fet out. The whole forming a biautiful little amphi theatre, fined up under de &melon of the lovely hotter', to whom is due the credit of the whole un dertaking.

It is one of the molt fplandid mantions in the kingdom, both with refpea to the number and fpacioufnefs of its apartments, and the elegance of its furniture ; the windows are • very numerous, and mollly of Rained slid's. The company who went from town all dined there; the cloth was laid at four o'clock. The Prince did not arrive till five o'clock, and an hour after dined with about so, who were too late for the firß dinner.

The Patecs's hatters threw off yellerday near the Race.hill, and after much excellent fport, con. quered and deftroyed a brace of hares. 'llse lilt was Ratted in a furze field near the Race Stand. which, with aftonithing leetnefs, eroded many tre mendoully Reep hills, snaking towards Rotting. dean, when fuddenly turning. the terrified animal recroffed the Downs, defeended into the Lewes turnpike road. took a circle round the Brighton Barracks, again made for the hills, and was at length overtaken by the deep toned pack, within a few yards of the furze field from whence the chile had commenced, after a revere run of at leaf} la miles. Very few fportfmen were in at the death. The field was refpe&ably attended. A few evenings ago, as Meffrs. Hoots, Wont.. GER, and Bases. were proceeding in a poll chaife from Lewes to the New Inn, at Seaford, which houfe they had left on the preceding morning, they halted to take refrefitments at the Bridge Houfe at Newhaven. On their re.afeendeng the chair( ' the driver clofing the door after them with more than common violence, the horfes took fright, (prong , forward, and turning to the left, croffed the bridge at full gallop. when inclining to the left, they took the road to Seaford, and defied every effort of the poßillions to overtake them. Melts BA 14 Rs and Wootoea, at the extreme rilk of their lives, hay. mg fucceeded in opening one of s'..e doors, threw themfelves out of the vehicle, an both of them were confiderably, though not dangerontly hurt. Mr. Hoon. not altogether approving of the con dub of his friends, coolly kept his place, and, what is truly angular, the borfes at length. from long habit of Rapping at that fpot, halted at the door of the New Inn. where Mr. Hoop alighted in &fey. It is fuppofed that the horfes reached Seaford from Newhaven, which is between f ,, u. and five miles dillant, pang every objea, and turning every corner with as much apparent e ,u -tion as if the poftillion had been with them in ibmcthing better than ten minutes. The road, it should be noticed, is very bad. and require . Idriver to condo& a carriage that way with IrttTe l rifle and di/Beaky. ' .
