'Last night, the Comedy of T', Cioodestisie Mar-' riallf was limn forward at this Theatre, for the purpose of intiochwing Mr. Fawcett, in the very difficult part of Lerd Ogtsori ; a part we do not ez peel ever to see in the admirable manr.t it was by the late Mr. Yiro.

The facilities which constitute Mr. F %we era 's ez-ellence in the parts in which 1w is so much adniired„ . are adverse to a faithful &lineation of Lord Osldiy. His interview with Panay, in the t.ttr-la on, was much the best of his performance, and received much applause. Mr. Wiwi - rest appeared in Colton, for the first time these nine years, at this Theltfe, and was greeted, on his eafre, with three distill* rounds of plaudits. Mrs. Gases, in Rear ; and Mrs. Powett, in Mrs. Heidelbirg, were excellent. Mr. Rae made an apology for Mrs. Gtovea, whom sudden indis position prevented from appearing in the part of Miss Sterling, and begged the indulgence of the and i. ence for Mrs. 'far toe, who had undertaken the part at a very short notice.

Some week; sin:e. a Avoca and imperial account was given in the Papers, relative to the untortunate Captain Porter and crew, while trading on the north-west COSH. We are now enabled, by Lhe pi liteness of Mr. Joel Richardson, who was armouter on board, to give a corral n irrative of the murder of Captain Oliver Porter, his two mates, Mr. Lyman Plummer, and six seamen,, belonging to the sl,:p takereipe, of Boston. 'The ship kit Boston in Auguat, 1103, bound to the north:west coast of America, for Olt. purpose of trading with the. natives. She arrived safe on the coast in the month of January. 1e0;; and, after visiting the several Islands, and purchasing Ain't, on the sth of Jane. I Kin. weighed anchor from Chock. co., on the N.

On the 11th, the Chief came off agaio, with his tribe, and another nib:. that was there, and traded very briskly till towards night, when, beconi ing very insolent, they...were all cubed out of the ship. On the 33th, Kiete and his tribe again tame on board its the motrang, and seemed much more de sirous to trade than before, which Captain Porter was very glad to see. The chief mate and two of the ehip's company were then engaged in rippir.g the main stay-sail in piecos, an the quarter-deck ; the second mate, pith two hands, repairing the malt top-sail; two on the starboard side of the main deck, spinning spun-yarn ; two more on the forecastle, making menet ; two more on the larboard side 6f. the main deck, running shot, in the armourree forge; the cooper was making tubs ; the cook an. captain's steward io the galley, at their duty; an. all hands, its usual, employed on the ship's dozy ; t armourer WAS in the steelaw, and the IsoateWain 10 the cabin ; Captain Porter, Mr. Ratstraw, litselerk and bit.

Rat maw, Captain's Clerk ; Mr. Lyman Plummer, Peter Spooner, Luther L'apham, Samuel Lapham, sea men ; Isaac Sammts, cooper; and John Williams, cock. Mr. Lyman Plummer survived about two hours after he was wounded. The Cook, who was most shockingly cut and mangled, languished till about six o'clock the neat morning. Among the wounded were Ebenezer Baker, sea. man, most dangerously. with daggers. he having two stabs in his left thigh. one in his privates, one in his back, one in his breast. and one in I.is neck; Henry Thompson, seaman, very dani„,orouely, daggers t having one w mind on his right tide, one on the left shouhl , r, another on the lett arm, and two or three smaller ones on the same arm, one on the right temple, and another on the left cheek ; Ebenezer Writiams, seaman, had three wounds is his thigh with daggers. two on his back. and one on the right shoulder with a boarding-pike ; Luke Bates, seaman, wuundrd on his right shoulder with a boarding-pike; Joseph Robinson, carpenter, wounded cm the left breast ; Thomas Edwards, steward, stabbed on the left shoulder ; Williams Welker. bad two stabs with daggers in the small of his back After the elects were cleared of these sanguinary' savages, severerguse Wert fired at the village, the sails were loosed, Stream cable cut, and the ship put to sea.
