THEATRICALS. -.......... TANC—Thie Theatre was lad night lighted tip tor the first time since the completion of the littera ;Wins. Whatever were the expectations of the parties ye nnnnn ed, we think the effect must have fully equalled ' o r surpassed them. The Moose, pearanceas now constructed, m , has a snne and cofble a, but retains en ough of ignitude m to orta p ey satisfy the e, and to present that aspect of grandeur whisk might to belong to a na tional Theatre. The splendid ornaments which decorate the fronts of the hales, combined with the mellow tint of the ground on chick they repose. prunes a beautifully rich glow. The Hoary Sirel&e, the Phu, and the Scrolls, which adorn the al tiers, are magnificent hut not glaring; ' .ed the warlet of the laterlor of the Boxes displays mei( with appropriate richness. The scenes from the Mars of libabspeare which fill the pawls bimetak the dress fleck, are pleasing, but the colon' seem to as toe delicate : a want of promi nence is felt while we look at them, that provokes com• plaint, and a little wear will. we thick, almost obliterate them.

The stage, :meow enshellishod.isheand ful ; and the new stage boxes are in the Gestate@ of grandeur. Enclosed by Corinthian columns, with superbly gilded capitals, sostainiag a noble. bat set tawdry, architrave, and fur ti-reed with crimson Imolai., they give a finish to the Theatre, to which it is hardly within the power of de kriplimi to render jostle.. The Saloon is almost wholly lined with looking-glass, or taller it will be so when the extensive works which erre last bight in rapid progress shall be completed.— TM*, we think, will be the most brilliant apartment in the Metropolis.

T hough some critics deem ed the colouring of the tent too garish, and others shnovht the states neither a Battering likeness, nor ad vantageously Altera, the spectators of yesterday marked 76eir arose of its merits by a tribute of universal ap phwe. The exhibition altogether afforded unmixed sa taaction, and gave a pleasing and a strong presump tion that the same good taste which lies been displayed is this part of the estaitlishmeat. will direct the wh ole, sod appear coaspiceous in the higher order of the exhi bitions of this national Theatre.

It is supposed she immediately fell on her broadside, and that every soul on board perished ; bet providentially a boat witb 7 hands, detached on a ;Arti cular service, and these poor fellows, with one man on shore sick, are the only survivors out of a crew of forty men. From the 11tposiott in which Ilia Majesty's Brig, Protector, S. Hewitt, commander, was seen just before the gale, great fears may be entertained for her safety. We are certain that lee Brigs and a Sloop are lost near Winterton, among which we find the Hope of Newcastle, Hopewell, of Mahlon, and Supply, of Sunderland. TREMENDOUS GALE, SHIPWRECKS, &c. The letters received this mousier bring melancholy details (roan the coast of the destruction of lives and property occasioned by the late dreadful storms. From Cromer to Great Yarmouth the beach is covered with wrecks. Great apprehensions were entertained at Yar mouth yesterday for the safety of the Ranger cutter. Cept. Sayers, which was reported to have perished off Mandeley, with all the crew. Forty fishing boats en gaged in the herring fishery, containing from 12 to 15 men were also supposed to have been wrecked on Seas day night. Capt. Sayers had repeatedly distinguished himself in action with the smugglers who infest that *oast, and his fate will be much lamented by the Wu- Wants of Yarmouth, which was his native place. • MASCIATE, OCT. 14.—After an evening particularly inclement, the rain descending in torrents, the wind arose, blew a very heavy gale all night, and came round from south west to north east, at two p.m. Nothing can equal the rade blasts which sweep the northern sea— ted, are here felt in their utmost severity. This was tbr signal for the Hovellera, as they are called; a race of men peculiar in their habits and growth, and of the most enterprising character. They termed oat of their births, end with their night-flames were watching about till day-break, when they discovered a borrow East Indiansan a-ground, and beating violently on that long line otehosis, shout fifteen miles from land, called .4 the Margate Sands." A leg-sail boat, which will live in any sea, was quickly launched, and provided with paddles; these ten men proceeded, with the rapidity of a bird, to the ship in distress. About this true pieces of wreck were beating against the cliffs, fur a long extent of coast. About seven, came in the head of a sloop, and a quantity of spars, apparently a part of her cargo. On the Naylend Rock, at the same time, was seen a fine brig. with the surf beating ever the mast-bead I and, in the offing, Dutch, Flemish, and French boats, beating up against the tempest, nose dis masted. At eight o'sleck the hurricane had not abated. The brig before mentioned, had, by the rise of the tide, drifted under the OK near the Sea Bathing Infirmary, where she was in great danger for a time. It appears that the latter was laden with grocery and epi c es.-1 Every hoar beats are coming in fur anchors, cables, and cordage. No peekets for London to-Jay. The chain cable of that nminifieent boat the Hero, snapped in the harbour ; this will to show the war in the elements. On the fort, the sprays not only inundated what is called the Marine Promenade, but they actually were carried by the whirlwind over the roofs of the highest houses. Nom—Not only the visitants, but the natives are one to see the effect. of the gale. Sheets of water are run ning over the Upper to the Lower Pier, and thence into the harbour. At the angle, by the Duke's Head, the water rises over the shingles, and pours in rivulets down to the jetty,paest the Parade. A Dunkirk boat has just brought in three bodies licked up at sea. The Frenchman reports that lie saw a arge ship on the Goodwin Sands. No promenade last evening at the Assembly-rooms, owing to the stets of the weather. Tam o'CLoca, P. w,—One vessel has sunk in the Sands—ill gone down—pot a soul saved! ANOTkIZIR Li/71R, SAIIII DATE. After ag fine a season as was ever remembered at this place, affording grant pleasure to an unprecedented number of visitors, as well as profit to the inhabitants, it may be said to have terminated with a storm as *e ves., and destructive fur the short time it continued, as can well be conceived. Between one and two o'clock this morning. a remark ably sudden gale of wind came from the north-east, which in a few minutes increased to a perfect hurricane, and continued unabated till day-light. The most alarm ing apprehensions were eatertertained, which were, as the day advanced, unhappily verified. The first object of distress that presented itself was a vessel on shore on the Nayland Rock; the crew were fortunately saved, but the tide flowing at the time. she drifted higher and higher, and now he. close under the Cliff, near the Sea Bathing Infirmary, with some scores of persons, with carts aml horses removing the cargo ; her name is the Good Intent regular trader, between Cowes and London. Would to lion, for the sake of humanity, that this disastrous storm had been confined to the loss of pro perty only: bat a brig that was seen at anchur in the evening, about a mile from the Long Nose, or Fairness Dock, was, alas! seen for the last time. The morning presented nothing bit pieces of wreck floating ashore, seamen's chests, spars, decks, planks, &c. fine must, as the wind blew directly upon the Rock, have gone to pieces in the night, and every soul on board have perish ed. The Officer upon the Preventive Service, with great promptitude, seised the cheats , and with equal feeling, declined opening them fer the p . The name of the vessel is pretty well known; but as some doubts may exist, it would be cruelty to the relatives of the ships company to mention it, before all doubt is removed. Nor does this end the catalogue, for the topmasts and yards are distinctly seen tl rating. with other pieces o wreck, of another shipi *boat MS f rends memo. Sti must have foundered at bee sechorage ; particulars o course unknnws. As if to relieve the mind hoe this melancholy specie• ole, a scene presented itself that 1 cannot refrain Iron giving you. A group of urchins, the oldest net tied,. years Or age, while the seamen, the fathers of some ro them, were putting off in boats to assist the I• which were riding in the Rawls ; there heroes in me bryo ran to the fort with a rope of conablerahl . leneih• and in an ingant one of them, as if by instinct, fat tened one end round his body, while his comrade, fastened the other to a rail or post, and immediately lowered him down the precipice of at least one lion. Bred feet, shouting with dauntless intrepidity all the way he descended. Had any of the ill-fated ma cutters been there, they would, beyond doubt, have been rescued from a watery irrave—as it was, they sir erected in raising as much broken plank as would (rich a shilling for lire-wood, and away they ran, looming, with as wueb seeming pride as if by their enterprise they had saved an empire. kivs 0%;1.0ek, 11.11.—A fine twenty-two inch clble is just . going off to the Hon.

MELANCHOLY CASUALTY.—DUELIII. OCT. 14.—Yes terday morning, the Endeavour, M'Cartliv, of and bound to lieltrat, out about six weeks from St. * Anilrews, after experiencing muck severe weather in attempting to pot into the port of Dahlia, struck on the North Bull, about the boar of ten in the morning. The wind blew hard, hat during the whole day, no assistance was obtained which meld render the vessel the least service; the life boat from Clontarf came on board, and we have heard complaints of the inefficiency of her crew, of ' , Friel , the following melancholy fact may afford some evidence: — An oil man, named James Murray, we believe above 70, bug known in Clontarf, remained in the life-boat whilst the others went on board the Endeavour ; the sea Was se roses that his situation was perilous—a rope was thrown not to hoist him on hoard, but, by some mit, charier, it slipped, and got about the old man's neck at the moment they were hauling him on hoard—he was strangled !—the body was taken on board, but the old man is dead. Several valuable articles were put from the vessel into the life-boat, she filled with water; the articles, trunks, Ste. having floated not of the boat, were lost, The vessel remained all night on the Bull ; forte nicely, the violence of the wind abated considerbly, and there is hope she will be got off without ninth da mage.
