DUNDEE, Auo. 16..7—Yesterday Morning, about nine o'clock, a boat, with two sptitsails, pro ceeding towards Newburgh, was observed to swamp, about a mile south-west from the Craig. A boat was immediately sent off to save the peo ple,on board. When the. boat reached the spot, George Anderson, Master of the Eliza, of New burgh, was hanging by the keel of the boat, but his companion, James Mallpch, block-maker, had sunk. After saOng Anderson an unsuccessful search was made for Malloch. A sudden and violent squall of wind was the cause of the ac cident. Accounts from 'Trinidad to the middle of June state, that a starm had been experienced there from the 3d to the 6th. of that month, during which time 14 sail of Spanish and English vessels were driven on shore ; awl that several of them we: e left higi and dry after the gale. The following is an extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Memel, dated 3d . August : " On the 31st ult. and Ist and 21 inst. we had a hard gale from the S.W., W., and N.V. The ships which sailed on the 30,.11 ult. have been seen by those 'coming this way 30 to 50 miles (Eng lish). from the shore."

TOKELY was Raptista, Had did justice, as he generally does, to the old ruffian. Mts. Gtans's acting throughout was extremely animated : notch of the spirit of the principal scene depended opus her dexterity, and lost .nothing in her hands. Raymond, Agnes', n a il the Servant, were acted by BARNARD, Miss MACALYINR, and thrust., the last of whom particularly trembled at a g host us success fully as he combatted the•robbers.. A new Conde. or rather .farcical sketch was afterwiirds brought out, entitled the Fair Deserter.. The meritkof this little article are of a humble kind ; its texture being light, its humour low, and its novelty by no means unquestionable: A Captain Dashoil (DvausaT) and a Miss Lydia (Miss MACALPINE) are iu the predicament in which most lovers find .themselves at the opening of a play, viz. at their wit's end • how to come together ; one Timothy Hartshorn. (Mr. \VATKINSON), guardian to Lydia, having given orders to his lawyer to prep ire a mar riage-contract between hithself, Thnuthy, and his youthful ward, which contract he resolves shall be carried into effect the following day ; and in the mean .time lie takes the common, though very often fruitlesi, precaution of lock ing up all his doors. Dasholl's servant, Trap, (performed by TOMMY), disguised as .the cook who was to dress the wedding-dinner, accosts Mr. Hartshorn as he is coining out of the house— giiins admission to Lydia, to whom be conveys is military dress—steals the key of the hall-door--« locks Hartshorn out of his own house—runs to fetch a locksmith—personates the locksmith — quarrels with Timothy about the price of the job, and leaves him still in the street. Mr. Hartshorn, ' in despair, sets a ladder to the window,, the act of climbing, is seized by Dashall and a file of soldiers as a housebreaker ; but declare ing his name, the officer announces that he has a warrant against him fur secreting a deserter, anti insists upon searching the house, when Lydia is found in her soldier's garb and the old fellow, 'tinder fear of legal punishment, and the farther apprehension that the young deserter had beer ' concealed there as the Inver and by the inamtge nient of his ward, gives his consent to her mut ry ing Dashall, whose father, commanding officer of the garrison, is represented also by Mr. Trap, and frightens pour Tinuithy into any terms. A variety of alinients, while they humour the palate, conduce to the nutriment of the body, end exactly in the same manner a change of amuse« meats, while they tickle the fancy, act as suste nance to the mints. Whether this be the reasors that produces such novelties at the Fb iewat k t ,t Theatre, or whether it merely arises from the calls erthe Treasury, it is not necessary to dis cuss ; the effect is exactly the sauce.--Saturday evening ftitnished the Public with a new &gamic sketch, full of bustle, bearing internal etidence of its being a translation, for it.respeciable trudeb.6 man of Scarborough is threatened with be ing shot for harbouring a deserter, a threat evidently arising from foreign cnsfoms‘ 11 is • not necessary to.: criticise such a sketch nice. ly ;—it was intended to excite , a laugh, its which it is eminently successful, and to display the versatility of Mr. Tor ELY'S talents, vvliereirs it is even more so. The plot, or rather story, as we have dese.ibed it, is built on the old ground of # damsel imprisoned, an :old guardian deter.. mined to marry, and a lover determined to outwit him ; and the denouement, as usual, is the mar riage of the young ones. The dialogue has u great point 'nor neatness, and the only stroke at humour is of -the Minor fort—a pun—where the. servant, who Was reproached for getting drunk, instead of promoting his master's coneetna, plies " lie bad taken the only steps for his into rest which he could procure," dud then points to a ladder. 'Mr. WATICtiCSON, iu the Guardian, would have succeeded better had he a played, from. his ownjudgment , without endeavocatrig to imitate a favoisrite actor; the best imitation is ef fected by hitting off the most prominent de.. feels ; would Mr. W. consent to have his tae lents so negatively estithated—mediocrability is ever preferable, when original, to gross. intim., tion, though ever so exact, Mr. Tolott.Y exhi. bited himself in:four disguises, in all of which he' was equally excellent ; the character was probably intended for Mr...M.vrnaws, whose absence need not be regretted, as it could not be played better nor with more effect. Mr. Do vial' looked ant! played the Lover well—he should be advised to, sing in his own style, and recollect the great enti deserved applauselie obtained in the part of Amiens, where he sacrificed nothing to the now exploded taste of " shivering and slinking."--s The time is again returned when the public ip brought" hack to feel the effects of realm har mony and expression. Miss MACALPINH was alt the Radiar cool& wish, lively without flippancy— her speaking tones have improved in strength, and her musical ones in melody—herappear• mice in the costume of a soldier deserves consider able stroke ; it wes not an o s tentdtious s'ud bold displ a y oll_masoiline figure, but exhibited such ix. ; Jetiteduess as ea delicate female would naturally feel on being compelled to, assume a 4isguisc, tor Eta Imperious purpose.
