"WRECKERS" ON THE THAMES.

A most determined attack by wreckers, at the
month of the Thames, within sight of her Majesty's
sqaadrou at Sheenier, was communicated at Lloyd's yee-
terday afternoon, the circumstances of which created no
trifling astonishment. The particular as forwarded from
Sheerness furnish the subjoined.
On Saturday night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, the
schooner Renown, Mr. Rinses', toaster, bound to London,
from Allos, la the north, laden with • miscellaneous ftrr,
;from some unfortunate circumstance, went ashore on the
Nor. sand, and in consequence of the strong wind which
prevailed, she settled down and filled. The muter, &pyre-
; &naive of danger, took to the hoot with his crew, and
made foe ffiteereese, where they landed at 4 o'clock on Sun-
day morning. The weather subsequently moderating, the
mate, with two of his mem, and a boat's Crew, went off to
the wreck, aad es mashing it, they found it had been
taken possession if W the chief boatmen of the
Shosburyness coast-guard station. The mate pro-
ducing the register, end satisfying the revenue Miters,
they delivered the week up to his charge and left. The
mate then with his men proceeded to unbend the sails, and
prepare to lighten the vessel, a craft having been engsged
to come off to her, and take what stores could be got from
her. They hod been so engaged some time, when 10 or
12 beats beloagieg Masthead, it is said, manned by • large
number of mesoresonaloweirleoLed, ander the pleaof render-
ing the manor assistanee, bearded her. A few moments of
their week raised to thew the "hamster of their intentions.
The mate eemeastrsted midi than, but the fellow, pro-
dated their ems, sod essimmeed cutting away right and
left. The mate again seamed with them, as their
operations would tend te arm* all means of getting her
off. They, however, unheeded hisremonstrance, told the
officer and his hands to take we t f themselves; and the
crew, fearing the anger of the wreckers, took to the lathed,

MUSIC-
HEE MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
There was an interesting debut last night—of
Madame Cbarton in the " Sonnambula." This lady, we
need hardly say, has long been a favourite of the public as
the prima donna of Mr. Mitchell's operatic company, at the
St. James's Theatre ; and she has no lea a favourite
of the Parisians as one of the stars of the Opera Comiqucl
But she has now, we believe, appeared for the first time on
the Italian stage, and we were far from feeling sure
of her success, remembering the disappointments pro-
dined sways of French singers in a style so new to
them. Ugalde, for instance, the idol of the
Parisians, the " ressignol de l'Opera Comique," who has
thaws enthusiastic crowds to that theatre for whole seasons,
made no Impression a couple of seasons ago on the boards
of her Majesty's Theatre. We have, however, been
agreeably disappointed. Madame Charton's voice, it is
tree, has not all the strength and volume requisite for so
large a home, but its quality is pare and its intonation
faultless; her execution is finished, and her style exquisitely
refined and delicate. She looked the part charmingly,
and acted it with sweetness, animation, and feeling; and
indeed, alter Jenny lAnd and perhaps Perini, she was
the most interesting and engaging Amiss that we have
seen. °Wool was the Elvin°, and admirable as usual;
and the part of Cow! Rodeljo km never been better sung
and acted than by Bamdni.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
Anna Bolens was performed last night, for the
first time these three years. Grisi's performance of the
Queen had all the grace, nobleness, and passion for which
it has always been distinguished ; but her voice scarcely
possessed its usual strength and clearness—it mused some-
what fatigued. Norio use in excellent voice, and sang
brilliantly. llarini's Henry Me EigAtA was remarkably
good and successful. He acted with force, and his Ike deep
voice was (what it is not always) is good tune. Jaw Sey-
mour wee well sustained by DUN. &Rini ; and the opera,
in its amenable, was complete and effective.
