COLMAIN'S THEJTRE.

Their MA rs-r trs, and four of the Par Ner,:sxs, ho.
nonred the Haymarket Theatre last night with their
presence, to see the Comedy of the Birth-Day, and
the entertainments of Oh; and Mrs. trains. The
Royal group were received with all the usual congra-
tulations on their entrance ; and the patriotic effu-
sions of yank Junk were so much in unison with
the sentiments of the audience, that they called
forth thunders of applause. His MAJI:sr v was in
uniform ; her MAJESTY in white and silver, with a
profusion of diamonds.
Princess AUGVSTA in white and silver, a turban,
ostrich feathers, and a very tine diamond rose.
Princess ELIZA BETH was dressed in a dark robe ;
her head-dress, hair ornamented with gold bands,
and a bird of Paradise plume.
Princess MARY, white and silver, a gold embroi-
dered turban, with a plume of very long white fea-
thers.

Princess AMELIA white and silver, on her head a
spangled handkerc}'ief, and a plume of very dark
feathers, streaked and edged with white.
" God save the Kinfr," was sung and encored (the
audience joining in chorus) on the entrance of the
Royal Visitors, who seemed highly pleased with the
of the night.

Early yesterday morning the public house at
Mile-end, called the Three Canes, was burnt to
the ground. So sudden and violent was the confla-
gration, that the master of the house, his wifz, and
three children, fell viCtims to the flames. A drover
who slept in the upper story, on perceiving the house
on fire, took the desperate resolution of jumping out
of the window, and was killed on the spot.
On Friday se'nuight the large steam-engine, which
has been so long in preparing on the banks of the
head level of the Grand Junction Canal, near to
Treig in Hertfordshire, for raising water from a
large and newly construeled reservoir at some dis-
tance from the Canal, to supply the same with wa-
ter in dry seasons, was set to work, and the water
in the head level, which is a length of upwards of
10 miles of canal, has already been raised four or five
inches by the engine working in the day time only ;
the springs which supply the reservoir are so plenti-
ful that the water therein has risen since the engine
began to work. A tunnel of near ‘.:.'00 yards in
length, on a lower level than the water in the reser.
voir, brings it under thee anal, from whence it is
pumped up, through 4 well of more than 60 feet
deep, by the engine.
