The mutineers kept possession of the ship until the 17th July. They had put in at the 3lulgrave Islands, had landed part of their provisions, and were about landing the rest, with the view of destroying the ship next day ; but in the [ evening, the greater part of the crew who had not joined the mu tineere, and who were below at the time - when the officers were 'tilled, being sent on board the ship to get supper, and to carry it 1.. ashore, they seized the opportunity to retake the ship, and the 'ship was steered for Valparaiso, where Lieut.

The piece of ground which was selected for the task was on a half-mile of the road leading from this town to Bishop's Hall.

THE LATE MR.. FAUNTLEROY. SALE of the VILLA, GROUND, and EFFECTS of the late MR. HENRY FAUNTLEROY ' on the PRE MISES, HAMPTON LODGE, WESTERN-PLACE, BRIGHTON, on Wednesday, Dec. 20, by Messrs. DAW SON and CAFE. Since the premises have been on view, through the medium of tickets and purchased catalogues, the visiters have been extremely numerous—Many through curiosity, or in the routine of the morning lotinge,—some desirous of availing themselves of a supposed advantageous opportunity of making purchases, and others,—and of these not a few—wishing to possess themselves of some memorial of the former unfortunate possessor. The company assembled at an early hour, and the ladies, that inconvenience might be precluded, were supplied with scats ; prior to commencement, not only the room appropriated for the sale, but all the avenues were crowded; the intolerable warmth was increased by the heat of the sun, whose sudden appearance and darting rays changed the surrounding scene from the gloom and dulness of winter to the warmth and re semblance of summer. Mr. Dawson began with the inferior household furniture, to the great chagrin of many, who felt an interest in the resi dence and grounds; but to the entire satisfaction of others equally concerned for the furniture, many of whom were the proprietors of lodging and boarding-houses, where there was a lively competition, and the successful buyers paid the full va lue oftheir purchases. After about forty lots had been disposed of, the auctioneer announced he should proceed to the sale of the villa. Here some confusion commenced: those at a distance, to render him more audible, proposed his removal to the lawn—others nearer contended for his continuance in the same place. This was at length arranged by removing the rostrum to a more central Ritllntloll on the platform where it stood, and the disposal of the following property then succeeded. FREEHOLDS, Sold by direction of the Assignees of Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, Fauntleroy, and Graham, who are to liquidate all taxes to Christmas, 1824. Purchasers to complete their purchase by January 28, 1825, and prepare conveyances at their own ex pence. Fixtures to be taken at a valuation, the whole exempt from auction duty. A Residence, standing on a lawn, comprising arcade, containing nine apartments, conservatory, billiard-room, do mestic offices, double coach-house, loft, lodging-room, four-stall stable, kitchen garden, and carriage entrance, the whole in close with a brick wall—sold for 4,5901. A Plot of Building Ground, adjoining westward the preced ing, :teeth frontage 143 feet 6 inches, not th end 154 feet, east end 139 feet, west end 126 feet 6 inches-1,2001. A ditto at present used as a garden, opposite the residence, north and south sides 40 feet ii - lnehes each, west end 50 feet 6 inches, east end 56 feet-4401. The w hole' Of which were bought by Mr. Rainy, auctioneer, of Berkeley-square, for a gentleman of rank, whose name did not transpire. Hampton Lodge is an elegant villa, but its southern views of the sea aro greatly interrupted by the intermediate buildings, and the prospect on the north is abrubtly bounded by the quick rise of the Downs. It is in the purest style of Grecian archi teeture, in which, although there is nothing novel, it presents a ,striking contrast to some contiguous residences, especially one where the chimney flues, collected to one point in the centre of the dome, the smoke issuing therefrom gives it the appearance ' at a distance of an elegant tile-kiln. The apartments of the lodge are all on one floor in the true villa style ; elegance, sim plicity, and convenience, are visible throughout in their con struction, anti the chaste, substantial, and appropriate furniture greatly heightened the effect. It is said Mr. Fauntleroy paid great attention to the conduct and character of Buonaparte, to whom he bore a great resemblance in person, and the billiarde room, probably the most elegant in Europe, was a facsimile of Napoleon's travelling tent. The conservatory displayed great !Skill and taste in the aelection, and in addition to the most curious and rare specimens of myrtles, geraniums, flax plants, and coronillas, were some valuable mesembryanthemoms, and near 50 orange trees of wremerkably fine growth. There were about 70 volumes, such as Bell's Shakspeare, In occas ional Rowers of Literature, Moore:: and Scott's Works, a telescope by Adams, a piano-forte by Wilkinson, o t n a a i ' r a t ti k r ` e a n bLes the plaster medallions t fro i m m t e l r ie ti t i 'a c ti s g al u e es o o f t t ' h b e os v i i t l ies la s a , m i l l i s a m m o t n h - a l:l i g t e he m ar us t t i , in the hall were, however, from the antique, and even the lamp was of a classical description. devoid s of fu o r . 1 altars w a a n s x v i c e s ty u , m l e ti t t i v , a to be proved co continued nuea en via ble ale re n tr e e x; t titty, c a 6 detail of which would be a waste of spice, and far from interesting : it may be sufficient to add, that in numerous instances, from spirited and obstinate competition, much more titan the ori ginal prices were obtained. THE THEATRE. COVENT-GARDEN.—The Merchant of Venice, one of the most interesting and amusing of the works of our great dramatic Poet, was repre sented last night at this Theatre. . The chief no velty of the night was the appearance of Mr. J. RussELL in the part of Skylock. Mr. J. RUSSELL has been before the public at this and at the Hay market Theatre as a comedian of considerable merit, and not having assumed what may be a gloomy and revengeful character before, he had a great difficulty to surmount in the minds of those who recollect his comic performances. His Skylock was throughout respectable ; but he did not throw out any new light on the character sufficient to induce us to think that lie ought to relinquish that line of acting in which he justly acquired repute tion. There was a strong.expression of feeling in the scene follo►wing the discovery of ,his daughter's elopement, but we think there .►i.as more impressive energy and character in that before the tribunal of the Duke. He was well received. Mr. Cooeim was critically just and interesting in Bassani°. The parts of Jessica and Lorenzo were pleasantly supported by Miss II AIV.. MEltithEY and Duansvr, particularly the former. Mrs. St.ostms is too experienced and too judicious an Actress not to be respectable in what ever she undertakes ; but her sphere is Tragedy, and there is a sportive ease in the part of Portia, which is not well suited to her talents. In the more serious passages, however, she ap peared to advantage. The part, in our opinion, should have been assigned to Miss LACY, whose tragic powers are well known, and whose very successful performance in A Woman Never Veil, chews that she is well qualified for the familiar drama. The house was crowded, and the new Pantomime went off with great applause.

Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, the in habitants of Union-street, Somers' Town, were thrown into great consternation by the cry of " fire !" and that of an extraordinary description —no Jess than four chimneys being on fire in one house. The parish engine speedily arrived, as also some other neighbouring engines, but before there ari wasud subsided, any occasion On inquiry,ccasionrorthemto work, all aln had it appeared that the fire had originated in the following man ner :—A number of Spaniards, lately come over to this country, wished to ma.c their own experiments in dressing a rump steak ; their regular breakfast hour was nine o'clock, and in their respective apartments they proceeded on the experiment of culinary skill. They all agreed that the steak should not only be fried, but that it should be immersed in the pan in a quantity of lard, a pound nod a hail of which being considered as at standard quantity; but wheb the heat of their fires operated, there was a complete overflow of the lard, the curse. quench of which was, every chimney in the house took fire. \.. • ~.7- 4` r•- \ \ ()3' )
