AMPHITHEATRE.

Mr. Barry Sullivan has gone through a series of his
popular personifications of Othello, Hamlet, and other
great characters, and with his accustomed BUMS?. Not-
withstanding the extraordinary attraction at the Theatre
Royal, he has drawn large audiences to the Amphitheatre.
To go into detail would be but to repeat our former com-
mendations.

We are indebted to Mr. Shaw, of Rainford place, and
Mr. Coart, of the 17-iderwriter's Rooms, for late papers
and despaches in anticipation of the delivery of the
mails frona

ameat this season on the 24th instant, and on this occasion
will detach a parachute from the car of the balloon, at a
great altitude, containing one of the quadrupeds from the
menagerie of the gardens. Other attractions are in pre-
paration, and a treat for the million may be expecte&

CARNARVJN REGATrA..—The ab Are regatta took place
on Thu-sday last, amidst a large attendance of people,
and the day being yelp fine, every one present appeared to
enjoy it. For the principal race (the Prince of Wa'es'
Cup), the new yacht North Star, built last week at
Birkenhead, was amongst the number, and her sating
qualities were much admire'. However, when a mile
a-head of the others, owing to the stupidity of her pilot,
she got on a bank, and after remaining 40 minutes, a
steamer had to be sent to assist her off. With this draw
back, however, she again started on her regular course,
and after all, beat her competitors by 12 minutes,
being at her winning post that time before the second boat
(the Plover) came in. Bat as the owner of this boat
protested against the North Stir, on account of her having
had assistance to draw her off the bank ; and as the regu-
lations on this point being clear, the prize was awarded to
the Plover. There was a balloon ascent and fireworks in
the evening, which terminated the day's pleasure.
Pointsl'las' ANNIVERSARY.—On Tuesday evening last,
the members of Court No. 713, of the Ancient Order of

dining together, with their wives and children, at the
house of Mr. Crewe, Coopers' Arm;, Henry street, P.C.R
Langan presiding on the oelasion. The substantial;
(which were got up in Mr. Crewe's usuel style of liberality)
having been fairly discussed, the chairman proceeded to
give 'n succession the following toast; :—" The Qieen,
the Prince Consort, and the rest of the Royal Family ;"
" The Officers of the Liverpool district, coupled with the
name of D.O R. Foley;" "Continued prosperity to Court
No. 713 ;" " The Secretary ;" " The Trees firer ;" " The
Ladies present ;" " The Host and Hostess," &c., which
were all heartily responded to. P.D.C.R. Evans, secretary,
in a neat and effective srech. dwelt on the present
successful state of the Court. P.D.2R's. Richardson and
Foley also addressed the assembly, after which the vocal
efiorts of several of the members were called into
requisition, and dancing was kept up until a late, or rather
early hour, Mr. Brannan'a bind adding considerably to
the enlivenment of what might be truly called a pleasant
entertainment.

THE FOG.—STICIMER ASHORR.—A thick fog pforailed in
the Irish Sea on Tuesday eight, and Wednesday, so that
some of our cross channel steamers were not able to make
their passages in the ustril time, and one of them has gone
ashore. The Waterloo, Captain Philip Q sail, was adver-
tised to leave Liverpool on' Tuesday night, about twelve
o'clock, but did not probab'y leave till an hour afterwards.
She proceeded at fair speed, but on Wednesday forenoon
the fog increased in density, and betwern one and two
o'clock, p m., the vessel ran ashore on the rocks at Bally.
waiter. Information was immediately conveyed to Messrs.
Langtry & Co, and it is hoped that the steamer will be
got off without any very serious injury being done to her.
There were only two cabin passengers on board at the time
of the mishap, which was entirely owing to the fag, as
every precaution which experience and ability c3uld
suggest was taken by the captain to guard against such an
cccurrenca. The Fleetwood s'eamer Prince Patrick, was
delayed fully twelve hours after her usual time, in conse-
quence of the fog. S'ae was due here at six o'clock on
Wed newhy morning, but did not arrive until seven o'clock
in the evening, the hour at which she should have "eft
this for Fleetwood with the mai!. Through the extraordi-
nary exertions of the agent here, Mr. Robert Henderson,
the Prince Patrick was discharged and re-loaded in four
hours, and sailed again at eleven o'clock, vu.—Belfa3l
News-Letter.

HARVEST WAGES.—Labourers are now demanding
and gettirg as ex'raordlnary advance of wages. It
is almost impossible to get men to work for less than
3s. per day and their dipt, or women to bind sheaves

tution.

THE NEXT INDIAN NEWS.—The next Indian telegraph
may be looked for on the 28th August. The vessel will be
the Nubia, a fast screw steamer, and as the recent loss of
the Erin will cause a blank in the China mail, the possi-
bility of a detention at Gallo, waiting for its arrival, will
be avoided. . _
