LOSS QF THE HINDOSTAN INDIANIAN. 'Wk ate truly concerned to announce the loss of tbt ifindothtn East Indianian, on the r tth instant, za Queen's Channel, Margate Roads. No certain atcounts have yet reached us relative to the number tithe Crow. lost ; but it is repotted that about thirty have perished,, including three, Midshipmen and a Cadet, named CLARKV.• Most of them were lost in a raft which they had construfted, and a few more were 'frozen to death in the rigging. The Hindoitan was 1248 tons hurthen. She was destined to Madras and China it was her fourth voyage,tand the first of her Commander, Captain 13Autroit, She had on board private bullion to the 4 mount Of 45,000 ounces. We understand she has Parted, and not a single plank remains. She was one of the finest ships in the Service. ANoTtitß ACCOUNT. The nOrtkoa.

Boots put off fro m t h e °tore, and rescued them from', their perilous situa. *ion; they were about. tto in number. At t hree o'clock ' on Wednesday, some of the masts, and part of the hull were to be seen above water, arid it was the opinion of well-informed professional ,litOple, that if immediate exertions were made, part of:Osgood& and specie, might be saved. The bul. 11 / 4 0 ,1 on board was pr i vate property, and amounted,. We I nAiirstand, to about fi ve.a nd. fo r t y.thosisand ounces. When the ship struck, and no hopes ofget.

These rafts, by the violence of the waves, were dashed against tech other, and most of th e p ersons on them were drowned or killed; some escaped with their lives, and remained floating on the rafts. The Surgeon's sc tvant had lashed himself to the mast, which go ing overboard, he was found frozen to death. The M . ive West Indi anian was lost at the same time. w ithin two bribedper of Margate, and seven or e i ght isom on bo ar d were drowned.

Miss WoonrAit,, who made so promising a debut at this Theatre, in the Tragedy of The Count of Narbonne, assrmed the part of Adelaide again last night, and, being less embarrassed, made a still more favourable impression on the Public. She seems to ad from the dietates of her own feelings, and those feelings are obvioUsly under the guidance of good sense. Her tones were more firm and more audible than on her first performance. There is a 'simplicity' in, her anion which corres ponds very well With the nature of the charafler, and she has no affeElation 'of studied graces.---She was very much applauded, and seems to be confirmed in, the good opinion of the Public. Mrs. POWELL was Sufficiently recovered to be able to appear in Hortensia, in which she di3played strong feeling. We have often had occassion to notice the dis agreeable mode of giving an additional syllable to words, on the Stage. BARRYMORR particularly distinguished liiinSelf last night in this unpleasant habit. Fro tun.a, ease-a, echoes-a, dead.a, &c. dtc.

RAN Niot4n again acquitted biniself ably in Austin,. and CHARLES KYMBEE was not -less successful in Theodore. The House was 'very well attended, and the Tragedy seemed to excite a strong interest.

The same Lady also composed a beautiful piece of Serious Music upon the destruEtion of Seringapatam, which was intend ed to be performed in the Church in Calcutta, , on the return of the Marquis WELIESLUY from Ma. dras. This work, we understand, has been unkir. tunately lost, by a Gentleman returning to . England, to whose care she entrusted it. It is but justice to Mr. IL JoingsToN to observe, that he was not the person alluded to as having sa crificed too freely in the Bacchanalian way at the celebration of the East India Launch.

On Monday evening a Gentleman gave a route a his house in Dover-street, and when the company was assembled, 'two men genteelly dressed knocked at the door with a degree of consequence, and had by some means learnt the name of a Gentlethan who was to have been of the party, and said they were the Gentleman's particular friends, who had desired, them to call to apologize to the Lady for his nun. attendance; and While the servant was up-stairs with the message, they made off with pelisses, muffs, hats, &c. belonging to the company to-a consider. able amount, with which they made their escape. All the Gentlemen lost their hats but one. Mr- WHALLEY, against whom a verdia was found at the Sessions, on Tuesday, for an assault on his Attorney, and who was described on the trial as a person of rank and fort:mei well known in Londoe, is not the Mr. WHALLEY who is the bra ther of the Countess of CLARE, but an Aultionfer of that name. Several persons have been lately apprehended at Altana, for having introduced large quantities of base silver Danish coin, which, it was discovered, had been made at Birmingham .; and we are glad to hear that their associates in this Country have been also taken up, and are likely to be punished for this offence. The Baron de GILDENPALPE, the Danish Resident, and Mr, WoLvr, the Consul, have regularly attended Sir R. Fottn, at all the examinations of the persons in custody here. The following distressing circumstance took place on Tuesday, in - the house Of ,Mr, Ritchie, in -Bath-st reet, Cold Bath-fieldi • Mrs. Ritchie, having occasion to go to ,the,rupper part of her house, left a fine young girl, her daughter,, about nine years of age, in a room • below. During her absence; ,the child, it 'is supposed, endeavouring to take something from the chimney_piece, her clothes caught fire. Mts. Ritchie, hearing • her cries, immediately hastened down stairs, when 3ile discovered 'the clothes of her daughter in a blaze, which affeded - her so much as to be almost incapa ble of affording her any assistance. The child still screaming, and smock issuing from the house, in, duced several persons to go in, who soon brought the little"sufferer in Curies into the —street, and urat that, ter;rto,P.,4 ho.‘ ha.t turfle art very much b tbiArßtfßdn, . • . • 141G0 CatiRi . ,,_OF_JUSTICIATY• (Cerlinadfrqn our rater .11).cm...day.) . _ the Court met agairl this da.y at eleven o'clock, Miertoan, and proceeded to comine the remainder of the Witnesses .adduced for the Prosecution.
