Sheerness harbour was greatly enlivened on Wed nesday by an elegant ente,taionrent given by the Officers of his Majesty's ship Northumberland, as a farewell, previous to their being paid off. The amusements commenced with the Imlay of The Poor Gentleman, performed by the young gentlemen of the ship. The characters were all admirably step. ported, particularly those of Sir Robert Bramble, Frederick, and 011apod ; indeed the former was litle inferior to NIUNDEN. At the end of the play dancing began with English country dances, fol lowed by quadrilles, Spanish dances, &c. alter stately. At two o'clock the party adjorrited to the lower deck, where they partook of a supper, con sisting of every delicacy the season atfo.ded, ar ranged in the most tleg.tait manner. Soon after sapper dancing recommenced with additional spirit, and was kept up until two hours after the discharge of the day-light guts. The ballroom, which whit on the quarter-deck, did credit to the taste of the entertainers. Au awning was formed with the colours of the ship, decorated with laurel and flowers, intermixed with variegated lamps.

The Ladies, too, have their mania; the tooth-ache bon. net is the ton, and this accompanied with the tidi tale a la portmanteau petit, are positively necessary for the daily promenade. The Dandies also— among them a shirtless collar, a pair of wristbands, a tight throttle for the neck, aml a back stiffener for an upright, constitute their mania.

Mrs. Mary GUllrfil, alias Ms. Wing, the runaway wife of the stroller, an actress worthy of her wish, though net of her meat. . The plot of this farce may be described in a few sentences :—Daeid Dulcet, a young gentleman, af flicted with a violent love of music, and " such like dultet diseases," has become enamoured of Mary Hardaere, the rick ward of b!derberry, who has recently 'given up the profitable trade of tanning, and turned Gentleman—a character very often as punted of late years—but, in many instances, indif ferently supported. Dulcet, after some musical rapture'', inducer Mary to elope with him. The parties are pursued by Elderberry, who traces them to the limier occupied by Mr. 0. P. Bustle, *lin is engaged in getting up some private theatricals for Dulcet. This is the scene of action. Mr. Bustle, in addition to the amateur performers, finds it neces sary to engage a few regulars. Mr. King is the first who appears. Heis to take the lead in tragedy—and declares that he is an " admirable Romeo, although, from his uppearatice, it might be supposed that lie would make a more striking figure in the apothe cary," an observation, in the truth of which the audience, wrought upon by the ragged habiliments rod wolul countenance of Mr. WatttcH, fully coincided. Mrs. Mary Gourd is next announced —and Bustle requests diet she and Mr. Wing will furnish " a taste of their quality," by going through a scene from Romeo and Juliet. Nu sooner, however, have the representatives of the an cient houses of Montague and Capulet had a glimpse of each other, than they start " like guilty things." Poor Wing recognises, in the person of Mrs. Goneril, his " truly wit . ..," who had recently eloped with the Harlequin of the company to which they were attached. Neither of them owns the connexion—mod • pleasant use is made of some Passages winch they recite from the garden scene— the direct speeches being of a very amorous nature, while the observations, aside, are indicative of the utmost hatred and contempt. Elderberry now arrives, and 14 mistaken, by Bustle, fur the person whom lie had solicited to undertake the serious business. A good wrote of equirogise is produced by the mis underetanding—and at length the old gentleman is induced to fancy that he has got into a private med house—an idea that is strengthened on hisolaerving whips and fetters amorigat the theatrical proper ties. Wing, who has been directed by the Ma nager to study a song, next enters—and, believing Elderberry to be the composer of it, addresses him in such language as convinces him that he is in a lu natic asylum. Bustle takes advantage of his em barrassment to facilitate the escape of Mary and Dulcet, who retire in disguise. Some further eyniroyrie takes place between Elderberry and Itieg, the latter im 'Riding, from certain expres sions used by the old guardian, which relate to Mary Hardaere, that lie has been on terms of fa miliarity with his run-away wife—but the mystery is cleared up by the entrance of Dulcet and Mary, who have, at a very short notice, got up the co 'turfy of Mats and Wife. There is so muds lively point and amusing equiropie iu this little piece, that we were inclined to attribute it to Mr. T. DIODIN, in whose peculiar style it is written—we understand,however, that it is the production of Mr. R. PEARS. The fable is extremely circumscribed— but this defect is more than counterbalanced by the 'pleasantry of the dialogue, the bustle which pervades the scene, the spirit wills which the cha racters are touched, and the ludicrous nature of the error into which the principal parties are betrayed. To excite laughter is the only object of farce—and that object the author has perfectly obtained. All gravity must give way, when poor Elderberry ap pears, plungiug every moment into some fresh er ror, and trembling et once fur the safety of his ward arid of himself. The irctiog was excellent. We never saw a piece more ably supported, iti all its parts. Mr. HARLEY'S Bustle is every way worthy of his acknowledged tektite. It was fraught with the most animated comic humour. In the course of the performance lie introduced an imitation of Mr. MATHEWS, of Mr. IlLaNciatiau, and of Mr. BANN 'ma. The first fettle e111C0111.4 snooty near the original. The character of Elder berry is quaintly draw,.. It was well played by Mr. BANTLEY, and is clearly one of his best comic efforts. Mr. WeENCH, as the Strolling Hero, afforded much amusement—and the dry humour, immoveable countenance. and awkward gait, of Mr. WILKINSON, rendered Geoff., a great fa vourite with the audience. Mr. PBARMAN, in the part of Dulcet, whose head is • sort Of music shop, was called on to sing innumerable neaps of songs. unaccompanied—is task which lie retreated most Erlicatonsly.

TTIE . • CUERRIER AMERICAN FRIGATE. We have noticed the departure of this vessel on Tuesday last from Cowes, with his Excellency George Wasterigton Campbell on board. Tl.is Gentleman is appointed A mhassacZor from America to Russia, and has on hoard with I several cases of presents from the President of the United Stwes to the Emperor Alexander ; after landiog which, at .Cronstarlt, the (harrier will proceed to the 111. terrorless', to join the American squadron there. This skip has a clumsy appearaiice; her lower an.osts are short, and of large circumference ; her yards not very square, and her blocks are large ; her tonnage is 1,550 by measurement ; hut her equip merit is inciat complete and effective fur the pur poses of defence or aggreaeion. She is remarkably clean, but nothing appears to be made fur mere Phew : her bits are extremely large, and every rope is led through a separate block—each has its own bela)iiig pin. She mouton; on her main-deck . thirty long 24-poutitiers; on the quarter-deck fort:- teen forty-two-pontider carronades, and two long twenty-four-pounders; and on the forecastle six forty-tsvo-poutider csrronades, and two long 24- pounders. She has seven Lieutenants and 415 men on board, of %shorn about three hundred are ll:disk-born suqeels. Thirteen of bier inen deserted while she remained here, two of whom have since entered on board one of the Sloops of var. at Portsmouth; and they hold out no very flatter ing inducements for our seamen to cross , the At lantic. In this ship the most extraordinary atten tion has beeu paid to her warfare qualitu a : attach ed to every gun is all the apparatus, including lan terns, swords, pikes, and hoarding cups ; the tack 1. s are rove through very large sheaved blocks, which considerably I.gliteris the labour, and reiolers the guns capable of being worked much quicker than in oar ships; the trucks of the gun-carriages are of larger diameter, and the axle-trees are much long. r, and effectually prevents the gulls from up.ettiog. Most of the principal visitors in the Island went on board of her during her stay, and the officers most readily allowed the ship to Ire viewed. She passed through Spithend at between right and nine o'clock at night, by which all saluting of the Ad miral at Portsmouth was avoided. A RIVAL CATALAN!. Madame Catalan' give her first concert the lot of August, at Carlsbad : she disposed of S6O tickets at two ducats each. She gave her secosid concert on the 41h, but it was not so well atteuded. There occurred on the 6th an interesting scene ■t the house of Prince Joseph de Schwartz.-illierg, whn had a large company to dinner. The Countess de Boinhelles, wife of the Austrian Envoy to the King and the Dukes of Saxony was present. This Lady was singing with a degree of talent that en chanted sill her hearers. At that moment Nladame Catalani emend. The Countess declined conti nuing. Madame Catalan' herself entreated her to do so, with a great deal of sweetness. The Coontess then resumed her song, and as she sang the tine ode of the celebrated Goethe, Connois In r &e. the enthusiasm► of the patty was at its oemi. Goethe, who was present, had tears in hia eyes. He exclaimed." We feel ourselves more closely related by these souials; it is the fiermait heart that undesstands them." Madame Catalan' all at once turned pale, and found herself ill. The whole company surrounded her, and testified the most lively interest for her. When ►he had a little recovered, she faultered out in a feeble voice, and with great emotion, an Italian romance; but the most lively plaudits could not make her recover all her powers. The Countess de Bombelles is a native of Co penhagen; she is the daughter of a banker, clothed with several titles, and her mother, Madame Fre &rigor Brun, has acquired celebrity by several li terary works.—(Jor►aul des Debuts.) The fire which was seen raging so dreadfully at Busitingford, in Hertfordshire, on Thorpday morn ing, was at a farm on the estate of Lord iI•RD• WICKg. It has consumed upwards of 500 loads of wheat, barley, and oats, besides a vast number of agricultural implemeirts.
