THAT CAPITAL BAND belonging to the K.0.L.1..
Performed at the Royal Hotel Aseemblyurooms on
Thursday last. Mr. A. Green, with great judgment,
hen reduced the strength by nearly a dozen performers ;
but so powerful was the oorpe that the absentees were
seemly mimed. It need 'namely be said that great
skill and energy were evinced by Yr. Green, or that
the band answered well to his eonduot, and the crowds
of gentry that thronged the room, with the approaches,
or enjoyed the sweet strains in a promenade on Ile
Esplanade, were delighted. The band will, however,
even yet bear further reduction. They play at the

Tannin ROYAL—This pretty little temple of the
dream opened Re doors on Wedreday and Thursday
writings for smarm performances under the able
management of Capt. Castle. The Interior had been
some time in the hands of Mr, W. Kles, seeds utiet,
who ezeonted one or two very pretty "see," and Mr.
Chao. Heine, machinist, ttilly decorated the
entranees. The pieces the Art rising were "Balm..
of Comfort," "Monsientr Jacque," and the laughable
faros of "NUmbir one round the corner." The second
eventtiNot a Bad Judge," a espital pier. the dresses,
itec, of the Lost recherch6 kind of the period-
1761—en "Dearest Mamma." The pieces ran very
smoothly, were well out, and many calls were made
each evening. The ladies were professional—lllas
Madge Rebersoo, whirs former appearree hers is still
in the mind, of many playgoers Miss Lee, and
Miss Clays Johnstone— who contributed much
to the surer piths pieces. Not Mirtanding the high

Weymouth favourite—Mr. John Chester—was specially

the stage management; Mr. Bode, with the Mears.

Chokson, perroptier and Mr. Nathan, costumier, from
London, were at their old posts. To Captain Castle
who has been indefatigable in his exertions, the sumer
of this affair is mainly attributable.
LANDING Or • BRlrWiteruitn Caltm.—On the lit

_poor men were landed here from the brig
Vesta. a Norwegian, whir had Milted them up from
their ship the Rienzi, in lat. 47.49. N., long. 36.06. W.
The retain, Mr. James Adams, in his examination
before It. G. Crewman, Eaq.,reeeiver of wreck. deposal
that the Rienzi belonged to Dublin, and was 13,670
tor register. She was built of wood at St. Alban'a,
New Brunswick, in the year 1853, and wee classed in
Anurizen Lloyd's Lir as A 1, throe year.. The crew
eons pled of eighteen hands, including deponent. The
ship had on board e cargo of timber, shipped by Roes
and Co., of Quebec, and eonsigned to John Martin and
Son, of Dahlia, She riled from Quebec on the Bth day
of Oetober, and the wind blowing moderate. On Sun-
day, the 18th day of Ootober, at 5.30 a.m., weather
elondy, and wind in the N. W., blowing squally, the
rid ship being in about lat. 46.39. N., long. 513.44.,
W. under topsails,land enemas heading, about
by S. when • violent squall came on carrying away
m•intopsail, jib, spanker, (arterial, lee balwarks,and
der•load oompelling deponent to put all hands at the
pumps. On the 19th at 1 p.m., (sea time) both pumps
were choked with land, when the pumps having to be
lifted It was 8 a.m., of the same day before they were
cleared, there ring at the time 18 feet of water In
the hold. On the 30th at 8 a.m., found the rudder
head split during the gale, kept both pumps continually
going until 6 a.m., (sea tinsel of the 23rd, when they
were again Ohoked, oaring the water to gain, there
being at the time at. 10in. in the hold, October 28, at
8 p.m., the water increased to Mt. 10in. October 27, at
4 a.m., (ma time) wind lush. 8.W., the men could not
stand at the wimps in consequencee of the sea making a
mean breach over the ship, compelling deponent to run
the shipiN.R., when the pumps main got choked. On
the 28th at noon, 10 feet water in the hold. On the
28th at 2 am. (sea time) deponent sighted • ship, •
barge. and • schooner, but neither of them answered
signals. On Ilse 3lst at 8 a.m. (yea time) and N. W. by
W. blowing very strong with heavy squalls, ship in
lat. 47.49., N. long. 37.4. W., with 13 feet water in the
hold, and increasing, deponent signaled • Norwegian
brig, for assistance. She reduced sail and signaled she
would keep minpany. November let, at 6 p.m., (sea
time) ship wea full of water; pump. still kept going; at
6 a.m., decks flooded, the men could not stead at the
pumps, the cabin on deck was also flooded and the ship
rams unmanageable, when deponent prepared for the
safety of life to abandon her, and at noon, there being
at the time • heavy swell from the W. launched long
boat and succeeded in getting all hands in safety on bard
the Norwegian brig,the deponent only saving his chrono-
meter and pert of a betel of Sour, the erew noravine rip
thing. The Norwegian brig proved to be the Vesta, Coek,
master,from Quebec for London. At 1 a m.of 3rd Woven,.
her sea timi, fell in with the barque Maria, bound to
Fleetwood nod being short of provisions and water
tranalerred the mate and seven of the crew to her. The
Vesta arrived in Portland roads on the 30th November,
and landed deponent with the rest of his crew, nine men,
at Weymouth on the lit last. The lose on the ship is
estimated at about £4,0130 and on the cargo is unknown.
The amount of insurance is not known No lives were
lost. Deponent attributed the casualty to the heavy
sea and gales of wind, and states that the rudder being
gone and vessel waterlogged was the cause of his
abandoning her. The Carole of the Norwegian brig
very generously presented each of the poor fellows with
lOsi on their landing at Weymouth, an act the more to
be commended as we learn that he can only claim from
the Board of Trade is. per day for each men, for their
subsistence whilst on board. The crew did not belong
to the Shipwrecked Fishermen'. and Mariner's Society,
but joined it at Weymouth by each paying an annual
enhiscription of 3e., and Immediately availed themselves
of the society's advantages, being forwarded to their
destination Cork, at th.. society's expense, by Mr. 8..
Damon, local hon. secretary.
