Sir,—Will you allow an " Old Cambridge Tutor" a few words, not in general notice of this book (already ably reviewed in your columns), but with special reference to a theory propounded therein, which has been much disputed, namely, the power lessness of education to eradicate or expunge natural qualities either for good or evil ? Mr. Disraeli says he has " educated" his party into the enthusiastic adoption of views originally repugnant to them in the highest degree ; and Mr. Lowe says you may educate a man to utility or inutility according to the culture given to uis faculties. Mrs. Norton says you may educate the intellect and teach a man self-government (" thf c only rule that is safe from rebellion"), but that you cannot alter his disposi tion and the natural bent of his mind. If you could, argues the 1114T v -1413141dMILItel and wisely brought up would be good and wise, and all con demned to evil influence and surroundings would be wicked ; instead of which, to quote her words— We see children all brought up in one home, under the same tutelage, as different as night from day : pious sons and daughters sprung from infidel and profligate parents; Unredeemed and incorrigible rascals from honest and reli gious fathers ; with further illustration, which I omit for the sake of brevity. To this theory great exception is taken by some of her critics, who hold that all education is of the Disraeli order, and can work miracles ; that, if ever it fails, it is the fault of the parent or teacher, and that the time-honoured maxim enun ciated by the wisest of men, namely, " Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it"—is the rule that gene rally should be received and adopted by all reason able persons. _ . Now, it is a very curious fact that, in the very first example of the human family upon earth, we have an illustration in support of Mrs. Norton's argument and overthrow of the contrary opinion. Cain and Abel were brought up by the same parents, trained alike in the habits of religious ex ercise, taught equally to raise an altar to the living God, and thereon to offer sacrifice. Nevertheless, Adam's eldest son is represented to have been in corrigibly rebellious, envious, and wicked, while pious Abel remains a subject of pity and admira tion to countless generations of readers. Further on in Scripture, we have another family presented to us—the family of King David. Passing over, as the result of adverse circumstances, the extraordi nary difference between the half-brothers Solomon and Absalom, what shall we say of Solomon him self ? Trained by David with the most sedulous care, educated beyond any man of his age, gifted with the clearest natural understanding, and fa voured by God with a special answer to a prayer for wisdom, he had every advantage mortal man could inherit for safe furtherance in his human career. " Solomon, my son, is young and tender," says the anxious old monarch ; and forthwith in structs him how best to serve God, and to build that wondrous temple in God's honour, the chief materials of which were collecting in David's own lifetime. lie causes Solom on to be anointed before his own death, that no confusion of rebellion may frustrate what he believes to be God's will in the selection of his successor; and he leaves that son of his vows guarded, tended, and trained to govern his kingdom. What is the result ? Why, Solomon reigns, is reputed superlatively wise, and writes the sagest of proverbs, among which is the time honoured maxim, " Train up a child," &c. Without irreverently applying to the Eastern king that modern and familiar apothegm, " Great talkers do the least," it is impossible not to contrast both his pious training and his able theories with the established proof, in his own person, of their utter fallacy. Solomon was trained, if ever man could be said to be so trained, "in the way he should go ;" and when he was old he did depart from it, till, sunk in debauchery, idolatry, and folly, his age so mocked the promise of his youth that he drew down upon himself a curse from the God who had so protected him, involving not only his own temporal punishment, but the rending away of ten tribes from the inheritors of his kingdom. Passing from the Old Testament to the New, wo might inquire how the axiom of certain b3nefit from wise bring ing up is carried out in that most touching parable of the Prodigal Son. According to the illustrative teaching of Jesus, the same tender, careful, wealthy father has trained two lads to adolescence. No socner is the younger a man than he claims his portion, departs, and spends it in dissolute living. The elder remains in the home of his childhood, and is able, uncontradicted, to utter this re proachful boast to his father—" Lo ! these many years have I served thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment." He makes it the ground of complaint that his brother has perpetually offended and he has never offended at all ; nor is the fact in any way disputed, but merely made the groundwork of the Divine lesson of mercy which the parable is intended to inculcate. The difference between the two sons is not dwelt upon ; it is a thing common, usual, requiring no explanation. Leaving Scriptural examples for the quotation from Doctor Donne which occurs in the first dozen lines of the clever novel which has boon the theme of this discus sion, what shall be said of the example afforded us by the two most remarkable scions of Magdalen Herbert's nume rous family ? George Herbert of Bemerton—the saintly, humble, fervent religionist, author of hymns spoken such as might find their echo where the angels sing ; and Lord Herbert of Cherbury--vain, quarrelsome, coxcombical, a boaster of his own gracious gifts ; proud of the lowest of all successes ; the triumph over woman's prudery or wo man's virtue, and bequeathing to posterity those deistical works which caused Kortholt to class him thus:—" De tribus impostoribus magnis, Edward° Herbert, Thomas Hobbes, et Benedicto Spinosa ?" But it is needless to multiply examples. There is no ono with common experience of life who cannot recollect simi lar instances of contrast ; of trial and disappointment to the best of parents; of astonishing perversity in the most religiously trained youngsters ; and of as much absolute difference in the souls anddispositions of children nurtured in the same home as may be seen in their physical com plexion and temperament. I am neither a critic nor a reviewer, but I certainly am a person with large experience in the training of youth, and mus t sa y my experience has brought me to precisely the same conclusion as that argued upon by the author of the very re markable work of fiction she has j us t g i ven to the world. I think the characters in hor novel show an admirable knowledge of the world. 1 think the book calculated to do an immense amount of good among youths, who, not heartless, as Kenneth Ross, may yet be loading as wild a life. I think the pardon of the tender, passionate, unselfish soldier, "Old Sir Douglas," to his scamp of a nephew, strictly probable according to the d,scription given of that elderly hero from boyhood to later life, and that his-after-spurt of severity is equally natural; since both the indulgence and the severity are the results of passion, not of calm judg ment. I should suppose the otherwise lovable and admir able character of Sir Douglas was intended by the author to have that flaw. And equally natural, in my opinion, is the shade of reticence in his young wife's disposition, brought up by that very foolish parent, Lady Charlotte Skifton, and accustomed, probably on that account, to habitual reserve in all her thoughts and feelings. But, whatever the value of my opinion with respect to those other characters may be, I can affirm of my own know ledge that in the course of my professional duties I have met with many varieties of the Kenneth tribe, and have never found the most careful training avail to transform them either into Douglas Rossos or Lorimer Boyds. Lord Lyttelton and his son have proceeded to New Zealand via Panama. He was mainly instrumental in founding the Province of Canterbury, and after him the port of Lyttelton has been named. Canterbury is the most p4rperollo colony ever fewided by England. It's not to be great Never to stir without great argument, But to be great, is to find matter in a straw. Mr. Powell finds himself sadly ill-used from the re marks that have been made about the running of Flyfisher and Laura at Croydon, and has written one, of the most foolish letters to a contemporary that ever. blotted paper. He tolls us that his jockey, Pope, lost his head ; it would have been a good thing for the backers of Flyllaher the first time he rode him if he had lost his hands too, for who on earth can believe that such a thing as Niger could cantor in twenty lengths before Fiyfisher on Wednesday, and then see the latter walk away from. &asset on Friday. Jones, the Welchtnan, who has just been'llet out of French prison, might as well tell us that he had lost his head in France when he welched the Frenchmen as for Mr. Powell to tell us that that was Flyfisher's true form the first time he ran at Croydon. Dishonour has so trafficked with man's nature latterly that it has found its wty into the coursing field, and on the fin , old river Thames has been made the medium of a broil awl bubble, which is likely to end in a court of justice. There are most cer tainly some highly , honourable men connected on both sides widi the late boat race, and it is a pity they could not have settled the matter in a straightforward meaner be tween themselves without going iato a eourt-fi law, but it mattOrs Milo about honour in these &lye — - --- .- -; " Nature soon revolts when gold becomes her object." I am glad to see that the correspondent of a contempo rary has changed his mind about Flyfisher's running at Croydon ; and instead of telling us that the gallop he had on Wednesday caused him to win the Cup, he now tells the plain truth, that there is just three stone difference in Flyfisher's form from Wednesday to Thursday. The un fortunate Joe Kendal has been suspended for life from riding for a less crime than I have seen since then com mitted over a steeplechase country, so that it is ridiculous to condemn the crime, and not the actor of it. lam now stuck fast for something to write about, as trainers are not likely to invite me onto their straw beds to let me see what is going on with their young ones, and whether they are getting ready for their early engagements ; and I should be doing worse than nothing were I to stuff the ears of your readers with false reports about outsiders likely to win the Derby, but I promise your readers to keep them well posted from head-quarters as soon as the horses get into work for their spring engagements. There is no place in England where horses are got so fit to run early in the spring as they are at Newmarket. For in stance, last year they were first, second, and third, for the Lincoln Handicap, and the winner (Vandervelde) was pronounced lame and a non-starter by nearly all the knowing ones at the time. The following remarks ap peared in the Racing Times from me :—" I saw Vander velde go a rattling gallop this morning. He is not lame, as is stated in a contemporary ; he is a certain runner ; ho seemed to have the best of the gallop with Mount Pala tine, but I think he would prefer three quarters of a mile." I came to the above conclusions from his running in the City and Suburban llandicap,when he was running well at Tattenham Corner, and shut up all at once ; but weight will serve old horses in the spring, and we have often seen very moderate old horses beat good three year olds at Lincoln; for instance, Bel Esperanza started at 25 to 1, and cantered in, and the French plater Benjamin beat Anglo-Saxon in a canter. I shall never forget how the owner of Anglo-Saxon turned away from me with disgust when I told him at Lincoln that Suburban or Benjamin would beat his horse ; and, had the Count run his horse, he would have most certainly won for the second time, as was proved afterwards by his running in the Prince of Wales's Handicap at Newmarket. How often have we seen that when horses aro kept for a gre:,t event it comes off crabs against them when the pot is on. There's nothing like running boises when they are well in and fit to run. Newmarket furnished first and third for the Brocklesbury in Ninny and Suffolk, and they were both fit to run for a man's life at the time, although I see it stated in a contemporary this week that Suffolk was back ward at the time. But 1 never remember seeing a two year old more fit and furaished than Suffolk was in February, and I am quite sure Mr. Hayhoo will will bear me out in what I state. Ninny was quickest on her legs, and cut her opponents down in the first hundred yards. I have no hopes of the Derby coming to New market next year, although I have no doubt Count Batthyany will retire on the continent for the winter, and have some pleasant dreams about his horse Typhoeus, and almost see the Derby looming in the future ; but I do not place much confidence in his beating Pace on his last appearance, as it is certain the latter is not an every day horse, and was not up to the mark when Typhoeus beat him; and in my opinion, if Mr. Dawson can get him to stand a preparation, he will beat all the horses trained at Newmarket. 1 hope sporting writers, touts, and tipsters will not write up Rabican as they did the Dragon last year, and, in spite of all I wrote against him, they brought him to 10 to 1 ; but, as 1 told your readers at the time, the only credentials he had to win a Derby was that Gladiateur was once in the same stable. They may write up Rabican as long as they like, but, as Peggy Collins would say, he won't do for "Joseph." AQUATICS. (From Land and Water.) During the past week the waterside publics have been the scone of most animated discussions on the rival merits of the two men, and also on the unexpected termination of what it was hoped would hi vo been one of the finest races of this century. It was patent to every unbiassed person that on the first day no just criterion could be formed from the doings of either man after Hammersmith Bridge ; Kelley at this point had got the load, and Sadler was already beginning to get hampered by the steamers which crowded in a most merciless manner both the cutters and scullers throughout the remainder of the course. A t the start, on the Wednesday, both the boats were rather in mid-stream than near the Middlesex shore, the usual sta tions, and the nose of each boat was pointed towards the Surrey shore, so as to reach the bank before the iron bridge in the bend. This position of the two men at the start caused both of thorn at once to bear over to the Surrey shore, Sadler going quite out of his course, Kelley being loss flurried, taking a straighter and consequently shorter course. Before, however, they had neared the point, Sadler had got half a length ahead ; in the shoot Kelley, spurting, came up, and both, when woll out of the midstream, came into collision. After this con tretemps the race may virtually be said to have been over, as Kelley, getting ahead, well washed his opponent to the end ; in fact it seemed to us that both men wore not doing their best beyond Chiswick eyot. Many were the opinions on board the different steamers as to which man was most "baked" at the moment of collision ; but they were pretty well unanimous in their fears that the first day's racing would be awarded to Sadler on the foul. We use the word "fear" as denoting the general regret that the great race of the year between two such cracks should have terminat el in so unsatisfactory a man ner. Every true lover of rowing was pleased when it was ascertained that the race was to be rowed again, a judg ment of the referee's certainly based on a desire for fair play and the best to win, and we believe t hat this o p inion was supported by both parties in a most satisfactory mm ner. Now, however , came t he g reat test of judgment. It was rrmoured about Putney durin g the morning that something unusual would happen, and though we place little reliance on fancy bets, on one occasion 10 to 1 was taken about Sadler starting. This fact, ominous in sound on an event like the present, rendered those interostod more than doubly eager to gain any clue as to the doings of either man, and though such bets may have bean flash, to work the market, the anxiety they caused prejudiced the public mind against Sadler, and this feeling was little relieved when the men dropped to their stations. The delay at the start of 25 minutes can be accounted for in only two ways : either that both men were anxious to start with weigh on their boats, or that ono of them was delaying the start till dark ness or the tide necessitated a postponement. Sadler tried two starts and Kelley one on each occasion. However, there was some slight point in favour of one man ; trifling as it looked, it was too precious after the close race of the previous day to throw away. Tho men had also edged so close to one another, that had a start taken place a foul would have resulted immediately. It appears that the steamers had cast adrift their moorings and had floated up with the tido, the referee's among ilie number, so high up river that the doings at the start could not be properly noticed. Kelley, probably tired and cold with backing, rowed down to the referee for instructions. Sadler finding Kelley gone, paddled to his cutter, put on his light jersey, net clothes, as has been stated, in which he intended then to row, and sculled up to the aqueduct to keep clear of tho steamers, which in backing were causing a great swell, and able to float down to the starting place when Kelley returned instead of having to back up. This, how ever, Kelley did not give him time to do, as after receiv ing instructions from his own umpire, and then the Melee, to row over if Sadler would not start, he sculled up to the starting point, and without giving Sadler or his steeror any notice he rowed over; in fact, the whole affair was so sudden that his own steerer and cutter waited patiently at the starting place to sou what was up. How far the re feree was empowered to order the row over under the cir cumstances is the moot point ; but, there can be no doubt, that in his official capacity ho could not delegate Kelley to be the hearer of final instructions to his opponent, which, to render the matter more absurd, Kelley did not even carry out, as Sadler was in happy ignorance of what was doing till some time after. This is the whole pith of the ques tion, and we should imagine that the validity of such nm biguous and imperfectly fulfilled orders no decision of im p irtial persons can endorse. It matters not whether Sa I le r was reported to intend not to start, or whether he %mild not give Kelley a wider berth, or that his putting o:i a thin jersey and paddling away was a sign of his unwillingnes,, the men were left by the referee to start by mutual consent with the simple ideas, usual in all these races, that a certain position on the river belong 'd to each man. The magnitude of the con test and the anxiety of the men rendered their mutual understanding on these points unattainable, therefore the remedy in that case was the interference of the referee and definite instructions to each man, which it wa his duty to see carried out. Was this complied with ? We have no wish to quarrel with Mr. Biffen and his decision ; it was given on the facts as ho heard them, and to the best of his knowledge ; but if ho was deciding on wrong premises can there be no appeal ? 'We are unacquainted with the laws of stakes and bets, but we cannot see how the two are in separable, as in the case of the former they were handed over and staked subject to the decision of the referee, whatever, it might be, and in this case, we believe with an indemnity for the stakeholder from legal proceed ings. As there was no race we are at a loss to know how bets can stand. It is much to be regretted that a race looked forward to with such interest should have termi nated in this manner, and it only brings forward again the necessity for some good rules of boat racing and a court Of final appeal in the case of stakes and bets on, where the interest of the professional world, will be eared fOr and oven-handed justice dealt without imposing a burden on any lover of the sport who is good-tempered enough to stand referee. We cannot agree with a contemporary who descries the idea of creating a precedent by disputing a referee's decision. If a matter is wrong and can be proved so, the sooner the same is put right the better—a deliberate review and consideration of a case is different to a wrangle at the winning post. Tho result of this race will show the necessity for some other way of starting than by mutual contest. The plan in use at Henley of going from boats moored is sound and answers well. We are glad to find that there is a chance of Kelley and Sadler meeting again, as at the Canterbury Hall last Wednesday evening the backer of Kelley stated that Kelley was ready to row Sadler on the Tyne in six weeks from the presentlday. In answer to this Sadler's backer said that Sadler had been in train ing for eight months and would require some rest, but that in the following spring he would be ready for a match on even terms for £OOO a side, and not for £lOO to £doo as Kelley's party offered. This challenge and answer may or may not be the forerunner of a match, but should it take place it is to be hoped that a more satisfactory result will ensue. 711 E BURNING OF HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. - Up to a late hour last night the fire had not been entirely extinguished, and there was unmistakable evidence that there must be a good deal still smould ering beneath the surface of the debris which water does not reach. It is stated that therea re jewels and other valuables worth £lO,OOO under the part of the ruins near the wardrobe and dressing-rooms. A search for these would be fraught with great danger, for the lofty walls which overhang this por tion of the property are in a tottering condition, and Mr. Flaxtnore, one of the officers of the Metro politan Fire Brigade, who has been left in charge, prevents any one who has lost property in the fire from disturbing the debris, lest these walls should topple and fall. The large water tank still remains attached to the top of the southern wall, but the wall itself near the foundation is rent in several places. During the day coils of rope were passed over the top of those walls for the purpcse of pull ing them inside the ruins, tha fear being that if a sharp north-easterly wind sprang up, they might fall upon the houses in the Piazz t in Pall-mall. During yesterday the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sutherland were among those who visi•ed the ruins. Great distress is likely to follow among the subordinates of the theatre, the chorister; the stage carpenters, supernume raries, and others, engaged at small salaries, and it is understood that a public meeting will be held to devise means for their temporary relief. Mr. Jen nings, secretary to the theatre, gives the following account of the calamity : —" lie was, as usual, all day in the theatre, and was the only person in the house with the three firemen, Brown, Easton, and Maynard, and the hallkeeper, and general custodian of the building, Mr. Sprules, and his wife, when the fire broke out. Mr. Jennings was forced from the theatre by the building being filled with smoke and the roof flaming with fire at exactly a quarter past 11, as he had an instant before made reference to his watch. Noticing the intensely red illumination of his room, which unnatural and fearful light totally overcame the white brightness of two gas globes and the fire which was burning in the grate, Mr. Jennings looked out into the Haymarket and saw the facade of buildings, and at the end of Suf folk-place all the large windows of the Union Club, blazing with strong, flickering light, exactly like the effect of a splendid golden sunset, deepening into red, on a clear summer evening. A passage of some length, opening at right angles to another long passage, which is the usual thoroughfare between the hall and the staircase leading up to the stage, w as, when he opened his door and entered it, full of smoke. From the absence of the usual gas-burners, which for the sake of economy on a day of non-performance, as Friday was, were not lit—Mr. Jennings had difficulty in making his way through this long dark passage ; but from his intimate knowledge of the ramifications of the theatre be succeeded, by feeling his way along the wall, until he discovered the hall to the right and the egress into the Opera Colonnade. The ball he could with difficulty see across, from its being filled with black, rolling smoke, which was at that moment pouring before the force of the raging flames at the north-western and western sides of the theatre, which were confined without windows, by brick walls and buildings. At this time the hall was vacant. Not a soul was to be seen or heard, and on forcing the street door back, and emerging into the street, Mr. Jennings encountered the first police man, who was giving the alarm right and left, ant forcibly opposed Mr. Jennings' desire and intention to return into the theatre and rescue his books and papers and property. At this time scattered policemen and a miscellaneous group of people were running towards the building, and the audience then quitting the Haymarket Theatre were congregating in the vacant roadway in front of the burning building, where the cloud of smoke was rolling. At this time not an engine was to be seen, and only policemen and scattered vehicles, and the usual crowd which occupies the Haymarket ; even fewer persons were about than usual. Madame Titiens alone has, it is said, lost jewellery worth from £l,OOO to £1,200, in addition to all her magnificent stage dresses. The London correspondent of the Edinburgh Courant states that he has been told by an employe of the theatre that " a carpenter at the destroyed opera-house was the real cause of the disaster. On Friday morning a number of shavings were collected in a certain part of the house. They obstructed the way, and they must be removed. Instead of carry ing them off—as ought, of course, to have been done —it occurred to one of the workmen that the best and shortest plan would be to consume them in a stove which stood close by, and which was in complete disuse. This was done. The heat in the old worn-out apparatus was, of course, excessive ; the fire smouldered throughout the day—the result last night made known to us. Here comes what strikes me as being the strangest part of the story. At two o'clock a rehearsal was held. The smell of burning was noticed by two or three of the ballet girls ; but, strangely enough, the fireman, who, of course is always kept on such establishments, was not sent down to make his tour of inspection." - _ - HAVANA, Nov. 19.—General Stevens, superin tendent of the Vera Cruz Railroad, died on the 12th ult. .77-14....

LIVINGSTONE. _•-____ _ At the meeting of the Royal Geographical Society last evening letters from Mrs. and Dr. Kirk were read, relating to the fate of Dr. Livingstone. They were dated respectively October 11 and October 9, being four teen days later than the last published. Mrs. Kirk's letter to Sir Roderick Murclaison contained the following rassage :—" The white traveller concerning whom Dr. Kirk wrote to you on the 28th of last month, according to further accounts stayed five days at the village where the caravan was, and then went on to the next chief. The white man was of moderate height, not stout, wore white coat and trousers, and a black cloth cap, round which he sometimes wrapped a white cloth. He gave the chief a looking glass, eight yards of flannel, and a tin box. He went on northwards. He gave a letter to Bunduld, the leader of another caravan, which is expected on the coast in a month. He had a compass and other instru ments which he used at night. He could converse in Snaheli, but did s,) imperfectly, and with the Nyassa idiom, ' like Dr. Kirk ;' he had a beard. Three of his party carried boxes; four had bags of beads, the others miscellaneous articles." Dr. Kirk writes to Mr. Webb: "The interesting dis covery that a white man had been seen seven months ago to the south of Lake Taganyika induced Mr. Churchill, the consul, and myself to go to Bagamoyo, a place on the coast, the point of arrival and departure of the Ujiji caravans. The result of our visit has been to find two other men who also saw this wanderer in the country of Marungu, and to place his existence appa rently beyond a doubt. We have also learnt something about his personal appearance, his escort, and the route he was taking, and have been told that letters were given to one of the head men of another caravan then at Marungu. This man we have since found is no mythical personage, but a well-known man, so that on his arrival from the interior, expected in the course of a month, we may have not only our curiosity satisfied, but I sincerely hope our best wishes for our dear friend Livingstone realised. I hope we shall find he has been successful, and is pushing his way to the Albert Nyanza, thence to emerge, rid the Nilo, on the Mediterranean. He will have been the first man who has not only crossed the continent, but has passed through its whole length from the Cape of Good Hope to the mouth of the Nile. But the essential part of his work will have been done before he reaches the Nile, and he may safely return towards Zanzibar, if so minded, with laurels sufficient to constitute him the greatest of all explorers, and the African traveller par excellence. You see I am very sanguine that our friend is still alive. The manner in which we obtained the testimony was very satisfactory. In the first place, I picked up the news among some of the native traders; I then traced it to the caravan people, and drew out their story while, they were unsuspicious of its interest ; so that neither Ilurdee trader; nor Suaheli men had an object to tell lies, or an idea in which way to do so if they wished to please merely. Besides, our conversations were carried on without an interpreter, and, although making no pretence to a full knowledge of the language, I know quite sufficient to be able to express myself and dispense with that fertile source of confusion, an interpreter. I need not repeat all we heard ; most of what is important will be published before this reaches England. With the prospect of letters from Livingstone so near, we may well refrain from all speculation on the subject of his geo graphical discoveries. Mr. Brenner, the companion of the late Baron von der Decken, has returned to Zanzibar from the River Dana, which he has ascended for a distance of between 100 and 200 miles from the sea. He describes the river as deep and navigable for small craft, and it flows through a rich country." THE LATE GALE.—Up to Saturday no tidings had been heard of the steamships Vienna and Ivanhoe, of Leith, which sailed that day week. The Vienna, a very fine vessel, built for the Leith and Hamburg trade in 1863, left Hamburg on Saturday week, having several cabin passengers, a crew of about twenty, mostly belonging to Leith, and eight foreign sailors, coming to join a vessel at Leith. Her commander, Captain Seater, was one of the most experienced seamen in the service. The Ivanhoe left Leith for Amsterdam on the 30th ult. She is an older . and smaller vessel, commanded by Captain Cairns. INSURANCES ON HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.- - - - --. Subjoined is a list of the insurances effected on Her .
