Their t r e .''els ale all well filled with brilliant visitors, the I , l e . nd s of the distinguished owners ; and the c : l con is so much crowded, that some of the offi thr are obliged to sleep on deck.

The Alpha, of North Shields, from Rio Janeiro, was spoken with Bth May near the Line, topmasts shivered by lightning. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM NANTUCKET, JITNE 7. " Schooner Harmony, Ray, arrived here yesterday, from N. S. Shetland, with 4500 skins. In lat. 18, N. long. 54, W. spoke ship Triton, Wood, from the P. Ocean, for New Bed bord, with 2009 bbls. oil. From Capt. W. he learnt the loss of .the ship Essex, Pollard. The Essex was whaling in lat. 00. 44, S. long. 120, W. While the boats were out, the ship was attacked by a what::, which struck her first against the starboard fore chains, and next on the larboard bow ; and so disabled her that she immediately filled with water and ovcrset. They cut away her masts and she righted. The Captain and crew re- mained by the ship 4 days—when having taken in provisions they all left her in three boats, and proceeded on the wind to the southward. This disaster took place in Nov. 1820. The first landed on a small island called Dacier's; in lat. 21, S. long. 124, W. "After staying on the Island six days, they left it, and left there one man from each boat. The boats kept company for some considerable time. The second mate, Mr. Joy, who com manded one boat, being sick, was taken on board the Captain's boat, and soon afterwards died. The Captain's boat separated from one, and - shortly after from the other boat. In February, 1821, they fell in with the ships Dauphin, Coffin, of Nantucket, and Diana, Paddock, of New York, then in lat. '3B, about 5'5 miles front the coast of Chili.. The only survivors then were the Captain, and Charles Ramsdell, a iad. The account of their sufferings, and the circumstances which attended them as reported, is too distressing to be detailed. " The Diana, and Dauphin,, fell in with the ship Two Bro thers, Worth, and put two men on board, as she was bound home." " Capt. Wood further informed, that the shin Hero, Russell, wanting provisions, run into Takuhana. Tlie Captain went on shorn, and was immediately taken up and imprisoned, charged with being a spy for Lord Cochrane. The ship was boarded and taken possession of by the Royalists ; but a Patriot privateer heaving m sight, they cut the cables and left her.— The mate and crew, who had been confined below, finding the Spaniards had gone, broke out of the confinement just in time to save the ship from going on a reef, and was proceeding to Val paraiso when she fell in with the Triton." Letters have been received from Nevis an St. Kitt's, from the former place dated the 21st of June, and from the latter the 19th of the same month. By these arrivals we have received a confirmation of the former advices from South !.merica of the re-capture of Garaccas and La Guayra by the Royalists, and the Insurgents are said to have lost a considerable number of men. The seas in the neighbourhood of the Leeward Islands swarm with small armed vessels, com mitting depredations to a very great extent; the ships of war on that station are very active in putting a stop to these depredations, and several of these pirates have been captured and sent into St. Bartholomew's and St. Kitts. Extract of a letter from Port of Spain, June 7:—" I have just a moment to inform you, that Caracas was taken by General BERMUDEZ, on the 14th of last month, after having defeated the enemies' forces at Guatire on the 13th. He was received there with enthusiasm by the inhabitants, and 2000 men volunteered immediately for his army. The bulletin of this important event is in my possession to be forwarded to Mr. ZEA ; and I have not time to send you a copy, as the vessel is under weigh. Calahozo was evacuated by General MORALES on the 12th, and he re treated to La Puerta on General PA EZ'S approach. The game is up, I expect, with ale Spaniards at Columbia." WASHINGTON'S MONUMENT.------The United States' sloop Peacock sailed from Civita Vecchia April 13, whither she was sent by Commodore BAINBRIDGE to receive from Rome the monu ment to WASHINGTON, for the State of North Carolina : it was brought in the Peacock to Al gesiras, where Commodore BAINBRIDGE received it on board the Columbus, it being so large that it could not be got down the hatches of the Peacock, but was lashed on deck : in this situa- tion it was not deemed safe to trust it across the . Atlantic : is put up in two packages, each weighing nearly four tons. "We understand the Marquess of ITuNTLY has three animals on his estate in Scotland, near Aberdeen, known by the name of the A incrican Bisons, or WU Bulls ; these are precisely the same specie of animal so ingeniously new-named, to astonish the credulous in London, under the novel name of the Bonassus. According to the Custom-house report it was landed two years ago, and exhibited at Liverpool as the American Bison three years old, with two red deer; we are now informed that it is only seventeen months old ! What an acquisition for JOHN Btn.r. at next Bartholomew Fair. DISPERSION OF A GANG OF GIPSIES.—In con sequence of depredations lately committed about the neighbour hoods of Paddington, Edgeware, and Hampstead, &c. informa tion was laid before the Vestry ofPaddington parish, that gangs of gipsies had " pitched their tents" on W r estbourne Green, and other parts adjacent, and there was no doubt but they were the perpetrators of some darinr , offences. Humphries a nd a party of Officers were dispatched r for the purpose of dispersing them, when they found various marquees erected in distant fields, and their swarthy inmates regaling themselves. Theo:Beers stated the nature of their errand, and ordered the campers to disperse, which they promised to do ; and there being rather a strong party of desperadoes, the officers returned for the purpose of adding strength to their forces. But _as they were proceeding back again, the gipsies, who laid wait for them, made an attack upon the officers, and a desperate conflict was the consequence. How ever, they succeeded in apprehending two of the party, but the others escaped, packed up their tents, and walked off, whilst the two prisoners were brought in custody to Mirylebone office, where they underwent examination. They gave their names Smith and Ruff„ and were travelling gipsies. Ruff was a des perate fellow, and defied the Magistrate to punish him by send ing him to prison.. Smith was less violent, and expressed his sorrow for what had happened, and was discharged, but the other was committed for want of bail. Harvest has already commenced in Cornwall. Mr. RICHARD STEVENS, of Trago, in .the parish of Crantock, commenced cutting barley and oats on the 26th inst. From the very favourable spring, there is every reason to believe that game will be more abun dant the ensuing sporting season than for .several years past. The young grouse are numerous. 1 3 0 E T CAIIMINA WICCAMICA.-(Nu. ODE TO FANCY. t3Y H --LL. hOu whose wildly darting eye Can pierce Creation's utmost verge; Whose rainbow pinions skim the sky, Or sweep upon the rolling surge, Spirit descend, I know thy power, Thou can'st not soothe the tort'ring hour, The aching heart heeds not thy wiles, ret Hope by thee more brightly Brest, In orient hues, in glitt'ring vest, On youth more sweetly smiles ; And o'er the twilight scene at 'distance pours A visionary glow, and hails the future hours. Ere Science wak'd her awful lyre, Ere Truth reveal'd Her golden shield, And bade thy aid her sons inspire ; 'Mid the desert was thy throne, Thy step was on the sounding shore, There, all terrific and alone, , The fur clad native own'd thy pow 6-; He heard thy voice in thunder speaking, He heard thee in the tempest shrieking, He saw thy form at midnight tread. The solemn grove, while dimly seen By fits across the chequer'd green, The moon her lustre shed ; - Ile thought each giant oak In hollow whispers "mitering spoke, And bow'd to every blast that o'er the mountain broke. Hence each strange unhallow'd birth Thy pale ey'd offspring, Terror, bred, For fear made deities on earth, And guiltless victims vainly bled : Then first each shape unmeet to view, Osiris and th' Egyptian crew, And Molock, stnear'd with human blood, Beheld their priests,' with midnight spell, Summon the shriev'ring souls from hell, Beneath the glimmering wood ; Or with the timbrel's sound•(so fables say) And mystic dance uncouth arrest the planet's way. When Odin's chiefs, with headlong might, • In glitt'ring rows, With banded bows, Spurr'd their impatient seeds to fight : Louder as the battle grew, Louder as the death groans swell'd, They thought (for FANCY fir'd their view) That spirits in the tempest yell'd ; They thought with tresscs wildly streaming, Like meteors in the dark clouds gleaming, • The fatal sisters round them Hew; Thy voice, where 'mid the dun-heath's gloom The grey stone marks the warrior's tomb, The bard of Fingal knew ; lle saw on every blast That sighing swept the dreary waste, The forms of other times, the deeds of ages past. Visions hence ! her banner bright Lo Trnth unfolds ; with trembling screams Each spectre pale, each elfin sprite Hath veil'd him from her piercing beams ; • That voice which taught th' archangel's lay, And hail'd Creation's natal day, Is heard again : FANCY, thy pow'r The soul of Science shall inflame, Inspire each greatly daring aim, And teach her unfledg'd wingS to soar ; For led by thee, to her alone 'tis giv'n To grasp the noblest forms of earth, sea, air, and heav'n. Enthron'd above this earthly sphere, Beyond the space • ' Of time and place, Spirit of Plato, bend and hear ! With immortal vigour fraught; Thy soul disclam'd on earth to gaze, Tut turn'd to view each form of thought, And uncrcated beauty's blaze ; 'Till Virtue's radiant form descending Each charm of gr a ce a nd mus i c blending, Flash'd on the sight a living ray ; Nor second He whose darint , soul, Rush'd thro' the self-creatd And wak'd an unknown lay ; He saw beneath his feet The turbid waves of Folly beat, And daringly serene look'd down from his high scat. • Hark ! again, what daring hand Has struck thy loud resounding strings? I see thee wave thy magic wand, I see thee shake thy spangled wings, For sweetly sounds that awful strain That sings the bliss of grief and pain, To rapture turns the bursting tear ; Oh Goddess, will thy pinions wave Where Sorrow bends o'er Friendship's grave, Or Love's untimely bier ; Say, if indeed thy flowers shall deck the urn, Or bloom thy wreaths for those whom nature bids to mourn ? I ask not that with eagle flight, Thy burning car Through realms of air Bear me above the solar height, Where with thee thy Newton soar'd, And mark'd the rolling planets' laws, The golden founts of light explor'd, . • And taught the great Eternal Cause. 'How blest the few, 'bove human measure, Who taste thy purest streams of pleasure, Whose breasts with all thy ardour .glow ; Yecsdost thou not disdain the seat Where smiling joy and friendship meet, Where Pity's sorrows flow, And while thy footstep roves Through icy climes or Indian groves, Thou hcars't their wild notes chamit their chiefs and sable loves. By each stream and haunted dell, By the tall mountain's hoary side, Is heard thy soul inspiring shell, There oft thy fleeting form is spy'd : • Still, Spirit, still with brightest beams 0 may'st thou gild thy . Poet ' s dreams; As erst when Natures darling child Vas laid in Avon's flowery With softest swell in every gala He heard thy harpings wild ; And then for him with fond maternal hand Didst cull the fairest wreaths of blooming fairy land. Goddess, though storms at distance lour, 'Though scowling stand Misfortunes band, And watch to claim their destin'd hour ; • In the liquid loom of air, With all the rainbow's thousand dyes, Thy visionary web prepare, And bid , the air-built fabric rise; • When o'er trembling torrents frowning, With deeper shades the plain embrowning, Dark waving pine trees shut the view; • As evening drops her dewy veil I'll mark thy blissful visions sail, • And fondly think them tree; For woe to him whose eyes Thy airy schemes of glory try, On him how dark, how drear, fruwnA dim Futurity !

DISTINGUISHED ARRIVALS.-Four highly dis tinguished ROYAL PERSONAGES have, we under stand, arrived in town yesterday morning, to whose arrival• so much importance was attached, that it was even rumoured the late magnificent and glorious Ceremony would be postponed to await it, as it was confidently anticipated they would have arrived in time to participate in the imposing Spectacle; but as it is, their presence cannot fail to excite the greatest curiosity in the Fashionable World, and we feel assured a right Royal Welcome will await them. We allude to he Fouit ROYAL CUBS which were whelped ye-s -.erday at the Royal Menagerie, Exeter 'Change, ind which are beyond all.compare the finest of he species ever yet produced in England.

The play was performed by desire of her M.IJESTY. She had of course many friends in the house, though it was by no means so well attended as might be expected on such an occasion. The tisual disturbance arose in cries for " THE QUEEN," when God save the King" was sung by the Performers, but it was not to the same extent, and altoge tl►er the whole went off with tolerable serenity. The QUEEN was, as usual, attended by Lord and Lady How) and the person who is deno minated Mr. AUSTIN. She retired at the end of the Flay. - ENGLISH OPERA HousE.--The popular Novel of Guy Mannering has furnished materials for dramatic pieces at the several Theatres in the Metropolis, and of course the most prominent points were taken, according to the taste and judgment of the respective writers. - It was, therefore, somewhat. of a hazardous attempt to derive a New Drama from the same apparently exhausted source. This attempt was, however, mule last night, and with more success than could be reasonably expected. The piece brought forward last night at this Theatre is intitled The Witch of Derncleugh, and in general it has adhered more closely to 'the original. It is, of course, a Musical Drama, and some of the airs and choruss e s are retained which first appeared in the Covent Garden representation of the same subject.—That subject is so well known that it would'he a waste of time to detail the plot. We shall chiefly attend to the performance. Miss KELLY is so excellent an actress that she is cer tain of success in whatever she undertakes. Her outline of Meg Merrilies was therefore marked by critical truth and feeling, but her person has not that physical magnitude which is demanded by a character which is intended to impress awe and. terror upon all beholders. As far as just con ception and genuine feeling were requisite she accomplished all that criticism could require, and we may fairly apply the words of the Poet to her on the present occasion, if on no other:— " Where she falls short 'tis nature's fault alone, " Where she succeeds the merit's all her own." The character of Dirk Hatteraick, in 'this new drama, has received a colouring of humour with his ferocity. This character was admirably sus tained by 'P. P. COOKE, particularly in his in terview with Glossiiz. PEARMAN rendered harry Bertram respectable in acting as well as singing. —Miss•CArtrt, an elegant young woman, gave an interesting portrait of Julia, and RowuoTzAtt deserves commendatory notice in Guy Mannering. WILKINSON'S simplicity was not unsuccess ful in Dominic 'Sampson. A Mr. Pus wrs, the son of Mr. R. Pnrwrs, late of Drury-Laite Theatre, came forward in a little part, entitled Gabriel, in which lie introduced a song, and led the Chorus with great taste. He is a pupil of BROADHURST . , and promises to he a very power ful prop to the vocal corps. The scenery was appropiate and striking. The piece was very well received, and announced for repetition with universal assent. REGISTER OF FASHION.
