It. is constructed on a double plot.—Miss Versatile (Mrs. Enwtsi), a sort of female fortune-hdnter, accompanied by her aunt (Mrs. HAR LOW), goes down to Bognor in search of a husband. The adventurers are two milliners from Uanbourne alley. At this place they fall in with three beaux, Captain Freshwater (Mr. Paßnav), Vivian Feather brain (Mr. COOPER), and Natty Daffodil (Mr. HAR LET). The humour of the situations, as far as those parties are concerned, consists in the difficulties to which Miss Versatile is exposed by permitting the addresses of the whole three, who happen to be ac quaintances, and the constant di ead she is in of en countering all her lovers at the same time. After some amusing escapes she is at length detected and abandoned by them, and is eventually married to Earriq, , ton Coventry, a swindler, Who had mistaken her for an heiress. The under-plot represents the re turn of Solomon Pilgrim (Mr. Al UNDER), a great tra veller, supposed to have been dead, and the uncle of Vivian Feathrt rain, one of Miss Versatile's admirers. Solomon having now a claim to a large estate, le mains for some time incog. by which means he dis covers the inconstancy of his nephew to Emma (Miss SMITHSON). The nephew, however, becomes a pe oitent, and, after some difficulty, his uncle being it:cognised as really living, he gives his consent to the marriage with Emily, and the Piece concludes. The character allotted to Mr. MVNDEN was that of a moralizing traveller, who pretended neither to wit roe humour, and the; close was incapable of drawing out the genius of this admirable Comedian. The most ludicrous part in the whole was that which Mr. HA It- LEI personated, a cockney poet, who sighed for groves and gardens, and was at the same time under the in tonation of love. The conception of the character seems to be a well-directed satire on the poetical *drool of the day. Ile celebrates the birth-days of all the Poets, at an ale-house on Highgate-hill, and mites some doggrel lines, commencing with— Ilighgare is a place of high renown, About a mile and a half from Kentish Town !

TREE re appeared at this Theatre, in the character of Viola, ui SIIAKsPEARE'S Comedy of Twelfth Night. The personal appearance of this fascinating Actress exhi bited the painful effects of protracted indisposition ; but her vocal powers remain unimpaired, and their exquisite tone and tenderness were, perhaps, height ened, by the evident delicacy of her health. She sang the beautiful songs which are interspersed through the Comedy in a tone of feeling and taste which pro duced the finest effect. In the fine song of "Bid me discourse," at the conclusion she became exhausted; ad Mr. ABBOTT came forward, to claim the indul race of the audience. He announced. that M iss TREE'S agitation was such, at appealing again before the Public after so long a separation, that she was com- Vied to entreat their permission to omit the last "t• This indulgence was immediately granted, rd the utmost sympathy demonstrated for the health UI as Actress so highly qualified to fill the first vocal Pills at this Theatre. The other characters were filled its „lslal, and the whole went off with great applause. , _rebuke o f W ELLINGTON sat i n t h e d ress c i r cle, and tae Alarquis of LONDONDERRY in a private box.

Dune, Nov. 5.—" Being in the neighbourhood of Eyemouth yesterday, a report reached me that a vessel had been wrecked there in the course of the morning. I repaired to Eyemnuth be tween eleven and twelve o'clock at noon, and found the melan choly tidings to be consistent with truth A smack, named the Perseverance, of Banff, GRANT Master, hove round the huge rock called the Fort, on the western entrance of the harbour, at the dawn of the morn, exhibiting a spectacle of extreme distress. Scarcely had the smack appeared when she struck upon a rock, and in a few minutes became a total wreck. Of the crew, six in number, one only was saved, and that in the most marvellous manner. Every attention was paid to him, and no doubt is en. tertained of his recovery; but the bodies of the other five unfor tunate men, including the Master, were not found during the day. The Perseverance sailed front Aberdeen on Saturday morning, bavirg on board a cargo of herrings and pork, bound for London. Nearly 20 barrels of pork were washed on shore, no way injured; but many herring-barrels were quite empty, and had impressed on them, " M`Duff, 1821." Every wave, for a time, hi-might fragments of the wreck, and the whole western part of the shore was covered with it. A chest con taining shirts and stockings, marked with the letter G, was washed ashore ; also, the bill of lading, by which it appeared that 580 barrels of herrings had been shipped. A thousand car penters could not have dashed the vessel so completely to shivers in double the tirte."—Derieg the same storm, a sloop was also driven ashore at Skaterow, a little to the eastward of Dunbar, and a man and a boy drowned.—The Nimrod, Beowx, of Aber deen, on her passage from London, on Thursday, the Ist of No vember, at two o'clock in the morning, betwixt Blackney and Dudgeon Light, wind west and by north, very thick and hazy, observed a Humber keel, Prezzilfent Master, stone laden, bound for London, on his weather bow. The Nimrod, upon seeing her, kept away; the keel at the same time altered her course, and ran right across the hawse of the Nimrod, when unfortu nately the vessels struck. The keel hung about ten minutes on the Nimrod's bowsprit, which was carried away by breaking at the stem, when the keel went down. Besides having the bow sprit broke, the Nimrod had her cut-water split, and the vessel otherwise considerably damaged. Captain Baowe took two of the crew on board, and put them on hoard a cutter bound for Grimsby, at eight o'clock the same morning : they report another being ou board, as lost.

An unfortunate accident lately happened at Mush. selburgh, under the following circumstances:- , —A per= son who had absconded from Manchester with a coa -1 siderable sum of money belonging to his employers, was traced to a house in Musselburgh, where he was apprehended by an officer from England and assist- ants. The prisoner was removed to Muir's Inn pre , paratory to being brought to Edinburgh, and having made considerable resistance, handcuffs were put upon him, which not answering properly, were taken off to be adjusted, when the prisoner again became very. obstreperous, and the officer was forced to fire his pistol at him; at the instant an assistant unluckily came in between, when the ball broke his arm, and lodged in his side. In the confusion, the culprit leaped the window and escaped. The ball was easily extracted from the poor man's side, but amputation of the arm was deemed necessary. Dow-sraerr.—Yesterday, a fellow cailipg himself James wilt, skew, a Manchester bargeman, was brought up by Upton's party of patrol, charged With several violent and most unmanly as:. units upon femalci. The prisoner, it appeared, and several others of the fraternity, ivhose barges are lying in the Regent's Canal, near the City-road, have for several nights past stationed themselves on the bridge in the road, and made a practice of in.. suiting every woman that passed in the grossest possible manner. Monday night, a poor woman, of the name of Hall, was passing the bridge with her husband, when the prisoner caught hold of her in an indecent manner, and endeavoured to force her front her husband; but on the litter skewing some resistance, the pri soner ran away. lie soon after attacked a Mrs. Day, who wan passing the same spot with her father and husband, the latter having a child in his arms. She resisted, slipped from him and ran away, whelk he pursued, caught, and threw her en the ground with great violence, and on the father and husband at tempting to interfere, he knocked them both down, and fled to his barge upon the tnal, whither he was followed by a patrol; but he brandished a cutlass, and swore he would murder the Hest b— that attempted to lay hold of hint. Assistance, however; arriving, he was secured.—Mrs. Day, whom he last assaulted; was brought into the Office from a coach. She was in an ad.. vanced state of pregnancy, and was in a truly pitiable condition from the treatment she had received. She fainted once while in the Office, and it was with the utmost difficulty that she could support herself in her seat while under examination. Mr. Holmes; of Brook-street, and another Gentleman, bore testimony to the conduct of the prisoner, which they described as the most fens dons that could be conceived. The prisoner stoutly denied that he was the man. The Magistrate (Mr. HALLS), reprobated the conduct of the prisoner in the strongest terms, and said, he felt ashamed that any Englishman could have been guilty of actions so unmanly. He was committed till he shall find good bail. CORN EXCHANGR, MASIC•LAPZ, Nov. 14.—A very large quark tity of Wheat remained over from Monday's supply, in addition to which we had several vessels fresh in this morning from Fur folk, but the trade continues exceedingly heavy, having no de. mand, except for prime samples, which still maintain last week's prices ; but all other sorts were unsaleable, and prices nearly no minal. Prime Malting Barley sold on full as good terms as on Monday, and there was very little of inferior quality. Oats and Beans are rather cheaper, the supply of each being much larger than the immediate consumption can take off. White Peas are 2s. per quarter cheaper, slid very dull sole at that abatement. } SOUTH WALES.

A MINUTE TOO LATE.—A Gentleman dreamt of No. 7,8.50, in the present Lottery, and paid five shil lings extra to secure it; we suppose he dreamt about a minute too long, for had he waked one minute earlier perhaps he might have fixed on N 0.7,849, the preceding number, which was the £30,000 Prize that Bisn sold on the first day of the present Lottery. We are informed, that the same Number was a£20,000 or £30,000 Prize about thirty years ago, and was also sold at !Inn's Offices. ENGLISH DUEL IN FRANCEOI), the 6th inst. a meeting took place, in the Champs Elysees, Paris, between Mr. NORTON, attended by GEORGE FERMI.. SON, Esq. and Lieutenant-Colonel HUNTER, of the Grenadier Guards, attended by Captain GRonow, of the same Regiment. The parties were to fire by sig nal : Mr. NORTON fired without effect, upon which Lieutenant-Colonel HUNTER discharged his pistol in the air. Upon this the seconds put a stop to all ,farther proceedings, conceiving the result to have been perfectly satisfactory to Mr. NORTON'S honour, and equally so to the honour of Lieut.-Col. HUNTER.
