THEP RE.
COVIO1N•CAllOIN.
Last night tote comedy of The Provokes Ihrband,
A "'wary to (Amnion, was performed at this
'1 heatre. to iiirroditce Miss SMMI, in the part of
lea to a London audience. This Lady
is an earns of much provincial fame, and we do not
hesitate to pronounce her possessed of great talents,
though the part was not the most happily chosen
to display them to advantage. She is a good figure,
middle-sited, and about twenty-five years of age.
}ter countenance is very expressive, and not unlike
the KEMIIL .tier voice is strong, clear,
E
told well modulated, and she appeared perfes!lly at
he, ease, and complete mistress of the business of
the stage. Comedy, however, we should presume.
is not her fort,. She had an abundant flow of spirits.
but she wanted that winning elegance, and polish. 4
delicacr, that distinguish the fascinating woman
of fashion, who, with all her foibles, inspires
universal love and admiration. In the last scene
with Loi.d Tow+, she displayed much judgment;
and, if the melody of her tones did not sink into the
heart, they were, however, given with energy. Why
Mr. Kt MIME should bring forward all the fair can-
didates for theatrical tame, in the character of Laft#
Towan, we do not pretend to know. One would be
almost tempted to conclude, that he is anxious for an
oppnrtur ity to shew himself to a full house in Lord
Towak. His performance of the charaEler dis-
plays some excellent points of offing, but they are
net sufficient to comp'nsate for the dee& of Ms
monotony and sombre appearance. Surely it is
not necessary fur Lord Towaly to whine in the
tone of the .446 e de per, or to present him-
self like a brae of the century before the last,
ia a stiff long-skirted suit of embroidery. Miss
5•1 :sit feeling, no daunt, the peculiar bent of
her powers, judiciously requested permission to
break CoLi.las s Ode upon the Paesiont, and here she
shoe.' with lustre. The transitions were marked
with great discrimination. tier tones and ataion
were most happily varied, and suited to the
pa"i"n, :nisi her • ante manner wonderfully forcible
andiftr. Nii Dcii.,..rwe ever came more fairly be-
fort se Nu preparatory puffs announced
her arrival in town. No mercenary plaudits an-
*our,ced her entry on the stage. The applause which
she received was loud and universal, but it was the
just tribute of an elegant aid canani audience to
superior talents. tier dress in Lady Town& was
handsome, but not judicious. It ou;ht to be a pat-
of taste and tashicn:. All the oli:er ch.irafters
sere wel. supported, and the piece wont off with
tea: eels,.

TO HE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

Ste—We are often told of the immoral ten-
dency of theatrical establishments. I had gene-
roily considered it as the overflewi g of puritanical
hie, until I was thoroughly convinced that it was
true ; and it proceeds principally floss' the custom of
admi.tance at half price. It seems to he adopted, to
att:'Aa women of a certain description, who, of
....lira., are to attrad a crowd of young men, whose
su c:icci is to meet them.
ir..Al be asked, how will you fill the house? I
wilt answer, in the first place, for the hon,air of the
alt, tlist, ie this wealthy metropolis, we should /were
het, that moneymaking is the end of the establish-
meet ; that 't the Theatre closed for the season, and,
we ti ost, was profitahie !"—and that, among a mil-
lion of people, it is difficult to fill a honse, without
ho 'dirt cal eneetoragesent to all the Incise women and
rakes in town. I blu.ll, when I recollect the im-
pression which foreigners receive of our mannere.in
v siting the Thearres. I would, then. suggest to the
Managers, that, were prautice laud aside, and the
Tubby closed, :sod the amphitheatre somewhat
c mailed, instead of the noisy low company, they
would find the house resorted to by people who are
desirous of obscrvirg tl.e play, and the merit of the
performers. Let the women of the town go to their
proper rendezvous, or come, not to rule and dis-
turb the house with more noise and bustle than ever
was heard on the Stock Exchange.
It it were permitted ab hook doreri, I would ob-
serve, that in Paris, yes, in that immoral city, as we
are told, of twenty or more theatres open every
night, there is only one, The Abl.tansiee, where the
women of pleasure are ever suffered to chew them-
selves, rn I body ; and, even then, though in the Patois
Royal, they have been obliged to quit the lobby,
and betake themselves to a kind of gallery is the
lobby. In the great theatres, if a woman of that
kind were even to hang her shawl over the boxes,
the audience would compel her to quit the b9pel
much less would any one be suffered to speak during
the performance. What is the consequence ? The
dramatic art is there never considered an immoral
one ; it is dignified, and rendered worthy the atten-
tion of men of literature, and women of taste ; and,
from the ma/del:city of their stage, and the decent
conduft of the audience, exhibits a specimen of
good manners, which, to my mortification, I do not
find here.
I fear, sir, I speak to the winds ; hut, surely, my
countrymen will not abandon their charafter for
good sense and sound reason, when addressed on a
subject which influences the national taste and mo-
rals? It is to be hoped the Managers will make one
attempt to revive an art evidently falling into dis-
grace, principally because the audience, under the
p-eseut evils, must be composed of people, whose
rssions alone must be addressed to call attention,
while the voice of true criticism and chaste taste is
drowned in the plaudits of buffoonery. CENSOR.

A letter from Guernsey, dated September 23,
says---“ We have just learned, with regret, that the
Corsican is not now likely to make an attempt on
our firm little island. fie assured, that in no quar-
ter was there more complete preparation ; never
was man more beloved than our Governor. We
L've a fine militia, and very staunch, and a
formidable army of regulars in garrison : it consists
of the 2d battalion 39th regiment, the 2.1 bana-
l) ,n 44th`reginsent, the 2d battalion 61st regiment,
the 2d battalion 67th regiment, the Ist battalion
b7th regiment, and the sth veteran battalion. By
the zeal of the Officers of these regiments, and the
alive superintendance of our first and second in
command, on the island, these battalions are all
now in the highest state of discipline. Most of
them muster 6 or 800 men, and the 87th have 100
as fine lads as you would wi►h to see."

Yesterday evening the Tribume f. igate came into
these Roads, to take two pilots on board She car-
ries 3ti guns, is one of the finest v-ssels of this de•
scription ever seen, And is altogether app:.inted in .1
most superior manner: the dress of her crew, who
consist of 200 hands, is very remarkable. Every
man welts a smart round japan hat, with green in-
side the leaf, a hroad gold lace hand, and the name
of the ship painted in front, in capital letters. A
black silk neck-handkerchief, with a white flannel

waistcoat, bound with hlne ; and over it a blue jack-
et, with three rows of gilt anchor buttons, very close
together, wi,h blue trowsers. Sec all of a much su-
perior quality to that generally worn by common
sailors. Every man also wean a broad gold flag
on the little finger of his right hand ; and, without
exception, each had a watch, with silver clllin and
seals. The boat which came n sh ire, v..ere the
merriest crew I have ever seen ; and the very few
moments they remained here, th•y made pretty
free with the rum bottle. lam informed, that on

board, each man has a regular set of breakfast and
dinner service in his birth, with mmy other con-
veniences. not enjoyed by even the.generAity of petty
officers. This is one of the fortnnate ships which
was stationed in the West Indies, and captured sn
many of the Spanish galleons, and other rich ships
belonging to the enemy. I understand the crew re-
ceived a dividend of near 2WI. per man, of their
prize-money, when they were last at Portsmouth,
and committed many extravagancieF., charafteristic
of a British tar. They came last from Cherbourg,
and have been added to the fleet under the com-
mand of Commodore Sir Sidney Smith. After
taking her pilots on board, the ft6igne proceeded to
her station off Bnulogne.

Great numbers of horses, adapted for the cavalry
and arti!ler y service., have, within the last few weeks,
been porch ised on account of Government, in the
Holderness distria. 'rhe demand still continues
brisk, and the prices of those useful animals, parti-
cularly those of the abore deecription, have, in con-
sequence, experienced a considerable advance. The
number wanted, we are informed, is about 10,000.
On Thursday law, the Norwich Ride Corps
having completed their period of permanent ,boy in

these words Most fully convinced you will
never draw it from its scabbard, but in the cause of
justice, of freedom, of England, and whatever
destiny may await our land, take this as a pledge,
that with and by you we will stand or fall."
An anonymous Correspondent says, " It has been
ascertained, that upwards of 15,000 men volun-
teered their services from the Militia, more than
could be accepted under the late Ad ; and it is
understood to he the intention of Government, to
order a further reduhion, which will be the means of
adding at least 10,000 men to our disposable force.
The Militia Establishment will then be as great as it
was at the redudion, in the year 1799. A new or-
ganization of the Militia is in contemplation, so as
to assimilate that service with that of the Line, with
respeCt to the promotion of Officers, filling up va-
cancies, &c. &c."

complement will be about 100 men ; and, if occa-
sion require, she is to be fully manned with the
Sea-fencibles on that part of the coast.
A letter from Qaehec, of the 23d August, says—
" We are badly a, at present, in our province. We

stomach. He was an excellent Officer, and a good
man; and, by his death, His MAJESTY has lost a
zealous aid honest servant. the command of the
troops devolves on Lieutenant-Colonel Burris, of the
6th Regiment."
Three of the Floating Capitals in the present

Yesterday, the Stewards of a Ilene& Society,
called the Laudahll Master Tradesmen, attended a
further hearing at the Mansion-house, en a charge
of unlawfully expe..ing one of their members, who
had been confined as a lunatic in a mad-house at
fiethnal-green. The feels of the case were stated
in our Paper of Thursday. The man had been (-le-
prive.! of the allowance paid to sick. members,
without any cause assigned ; and, on aaplicatien
being made to the Loa o ANOR f r redress, the
Stewards refused to submit to his decision, alleg-
ing that the case did not come within the jusisilic-
tioa of a Magistrate, as the rules of their society.
established by a. of PaliAinent, direaei that ail
disputes between any member and the society,
should be settled by arbitratii n.
Upon the hunger ex +ruination, the LORD MA voa
postpmed the hearing, in order to consider the Aft
ie. Parliament upon which they proceeded. It was
now his opinion, the case came within his jerisdic-
tion, as the expelled member was unable, from his
situation, to appoint at bitratiws to do hint justice. It
appeared, upon the w: tile, that the unfartunate
lunatic had been considered a burden to the
ciety, and that they took the readiest method to get
rid t,f him. The Lotto Mayo ordered them to
pay up his arrears of allowance-money, and to place
im again upon the books of the Society.

NAPLES, Aro. 13.

EXTRACT or A LETTER.
Yesterday, at ten o'clock at night, the eruption
of Vesuvius, of which the eartlopiake seemed to be
the forerunner, rrs- place. We were going !o visit
thi Crater, when the cries of the people, and a vo-
lume of flame, informed us tha! tho volcano had
opened. The f.sva precipitated itself, io sure Se..
condi, from toe last peak of the Mountain, and r, sk
a direnion towards the valley situated between Torre
del Greco. and Torre del l'Annunziata, two towns
on the sea coast beyond Portici, and seven or eight
miles from Naples.
" We set off immediately to see this wonderful
and trem-ndous Phenomenon nearer. From the
place of our departure we saw the whole mine of
the lava, which extended already two miles from
the Crater to t 1.2 houses that join the two towns.—
The sight was the most magnificently frightful that
could be seen. 1 contemplated she cascades of flame
poiir4g from the top of the mountain, and shod-
ti-, e‘l at seeing an immense torrent of fire ravage
the finest fields, overthrow homes, and destroy, in
few minutes, the hopes, and resources of a hundred
families.
o A line of fire marked the profile of the moun-
tain ; a cloud of smoke, which seemed to send forth,
from time to time, flashes of lightning, hung over the
scene, and the moon appeared to be pale. Nothing
can ad.rquately describe the grandeur of the scene,
or give an accurate idea of the horror of it. As we
approached the spot, ravaged by this river of hell,
ruined inhabitants having quitted their houses—deso-
lated families trying to save their furniture or pro-
visions, last and feeble resource—an immense crowd
of curious persons, retreating, step by step, from the
advancing lava, and testifying, by extraordinary
cries, their wonder, fear, and pity—the frightful
bellowing of the mountain, the frequent explo.ions
which burst from the bosom of the torrent, the
crackling of the trees, devoured by the flames, the
noise of the walls falling, and the lugubrious sound
of a bell, which the religious of the Camaldules,
isolated on a little hill, and surrounded by two tor-
tents of fire, rang in their distress. Such are the
details of the frightful scene to which I was a
witness.
" The moment we arrived, th, lava was crosslr.,::
the great road below Terre del Greys. To see it
better, we got into a beautiful house on the road-
side ; from the terrace we saw the fire at no more
than fifteen paces from us ; in a minute we descended.
and, twenty minutes afterwards. there semained of
the house but three large wails. I approached as
near as the heat and flow of the curreat would per-
mit me. I attempted, at different times, to burn
the end of my handkerchief in it ; I could only do it
by tying it to the end of my cane. The lava does
not run in liquid waves: it resembles an immense
quantity of coals on Lire, which an invincible strength
had heaped up and pushed on with violence. When
it met with a wall, it colleend to the height of seven
or ten feet, binned it, and overthrew it at once. I
saw some walls get red-hot, like iron, and melt, it
I may use the expression, into • the lava. In its
greatest speed, and on an horizontal road, I reck-
oned, that the torrent travelled at the rate of IS
inches a minute. Its smell resembled that of iron
red ".
