THEATRES.

DR IT IT-t. ANE.
The Musical Entertainment of The Traceelm was
performed, last night, to one of the most brilliant
houses we ever witnessed. Mrs. MOUMT•111, and
Mr. 13a amass, were in the very finest voice; and
never exerted their great powers to more advan-
tage, or were more rapturously elipplauded.—
It was truly Masse. faarinetien. Mr. JOIINSTOiII
was in high spirits, and sang his songs with all his
usual humour. The grand attraition, however,
of the night, was a Farce, of the whimsical title of
Mr. H. introduced by an excellent Prologue, de-
livered by Mr. F.t. (Arrests, with spirit, energy, and
point. It was received with repeated bravos, and.
in defiance of the rules of the house, loudly refaced.
Under these promising auspices,the piece commenced.
It aimed at nothing but farce of the broadest kind.
The story, if it can so be called, was a young dashing
fellow, who has a same, which, in.the giddy Tipha
style, he does not like; and it commencing with
an H, he calls himself 31r. 11—., which causes
many ludicrous scenes, sustained by the cur lenity
of his tradespeople, domestics. Scc. to learn his
real name. Nor is his Mistress, the lovely Mek-
yeti., less anxious ; be prevails on her, however,
to suppress her curiosity until after marriage ;
when, at an evening party, where he is beset
by all the ladies in the room, on the subject,
he unguardedly mentions so MegAth." This ad-
mission is caught at by the company. Melrvieda
Piet', and Mr. H. raves at his own giddiness. There
were a few parts hisses from the commee.ce-
anent, but here there was much disapprobation ;
and the eviiavne of the second act turning
on VO:lff. b.caa, arid park, and Mr H.'. friend
produe:ng- tlis Majesty's permission to change
his name from tiagyiak to Bacon, the oppo.
sitionists became violent, arid very little of the
last aft was heard, between the applaus.. of the im-
partial part of the audience, who sv:sed to heir
the piece out before they condemned, and the party
who were determined it should not be heard.—
Mr. Et.ttsvon, as Mr. M. was the strtole support of
ice piece ; but it wants jariety and underplot ; and
derives its principal Merit from the fancy and
ingenuity of the Author, in placing one idea in so
many points of view. With some little alteration,
and Mr. &Am-rotes excellent performance, we
should not be surprised to sea it become a favourite
entertainment.
COVINT.GARDIN.
The Treopeit was repeated here last night, and
drew a brilliant house. The amorous sentiments of
Derrad and Hippolite rxe;ted some disapprobation,
but not so much as on Monday night. Miss MCA.
wows received great applause is .driel. Her last
sir was loudly encored.

" Mrs Jordan 4,14 the Drury-lane Preprieton, It seems,

Of the motive in which this paragraph originated,
we presume to know nothing. We can only assert,
in the must direct and positive eerms, that it is sot
founded in fact. Mrs. JORDAN has had no dis-
agreement with the Theatre, the Proprieters.'or the
Masalen; and. as to terms, she has been offered
such as might satisfy the most excessive avarice or
vanity, dui she possess either. This cause which
will probably deprive the Theatre of the unrivalled
talents of this Lady, for the present season, is well
known, in the circle of her friends, to be foreign
from any thing suggested in the above paragraph.

A letter from Ramsgate, dated December 9, says,
" A great number of vessels of various descriptions
have taken Ae/ter, lately, in Ramsgate harbour, the
greater part of them came in yesterday, from then
Downs, &c. a few have sustained damage. Among
which are the following :—The bit Peace, Capt.
Butcher, from London to Cork, with groceries, has
lost as anchor and cable; the brig Trent. from Lon-
don to Grenada, with a cargo cf plantati n stores,
lost both anchors and cables; the sloop Neptune,
also from 'London, to Grenada, lost both anchors
and ; and several other vessels, in similar
sutra-ions, have come in to be refitted and supplied.
gale on Sunday evening at ti.S.W..was very
violent, and the ships in the Downs rode very un-
easy, and caused msny vessels there and at Powe-
rless to part their cables, and make for Itamsgate
Harbour. Upon the whole, considering the blus-
tering wfatiifr we have had for sorneAlays past, it
does not appear that the shipping on this coast !rave
sustained- near the &mare that might have been
expelled from the different severe gales they have
encountered.
The report of a suspension of the negotiation car-
rying on here with the American hlinisters, we
uncorst;nd, is inorely without foundation_ no.
report that the American Negotiators have vari. if
their ground, and risen in their demands, in con-
sequence of the late events on the Continent, is also
as cried to he an unfounded apersion upon the cha-
racters of those Gentleriert, who a:e understood to
have aged during the negotiation with great frank-
ness and liberality ; nor have they departed from the
propositions first submitted to the British Commis-
sioners, after their arrival.
It is in the contemplation of Government to en-
force the di.tillatinei of spirits from sugar. A Dv-
, potation of West India Merchants, on Tuesday. at-
tended at the hoard of Trade on this highly import-
ant subject ; and to obtain relief in the. present
embarrassed store of c ilonial produce is general,
and of sugars in panatelas. Shahid it be deter-
mined ultimately that the distillers are to use sir
gar instead of corn, is will at once take 30000
hogsheads nut of the market, and at the same time
add wonderfully to the stores in the granaries of the
country. Some difficulties have arisen, we are in-
formed, occasioned by the clashing interests of the
Distillers and Re9;fiers of Spirit—which doubtless

asey easily be adiasted. The ineasarti in question

On Monday, several amateurs of the turf 33.
ambled on the Bath road, to wiciess the decision
of a long-talked-of race between two ponies, the
property of Captain H• Roe AVE, of Strke House,
Berk:, and an Innkeeper, near R ...ding. The
match, which was four miles for 100 guineas, was
decided on Hounslow Heath ; the Intikeeepes
posey was the favourite, and it was always consi-
dered the fastest in the country. At starting, the
other made play, and in such style. during the first
mile, that he kept the favourite at full speed ; and
changed the odds, which were 6 to 4, to level
betting. It was a famous race. the whole way, and
the List mile the ant?als were neck and neck ; but
the Captain's panty won the race, by about twenty
yeas, as it was supposed, by superior jockeyship.
Tee pose's carried feather weight.
