of Ole drama. Actors, like other men, should know their
proper grade and station. It is quite painful to see a man
fit only to be a mute at CAssar's funeral, play the part of
Brutus.

Whilst other senseless things appear
To know the limits of their sphere ;
While not a cow on earth roniances,

So far as to conceit she dances ;
it is humiliating to human reason to witness men, who
might pass over unobserved in the list of incumbrances in
the chorus, expose themselves to unnecessary censure by
undertaking the most difficult male characters in the whole
range of the drama. Of Mb.s Courtensy we will simply
say, "we cannot praise, and will not blame her." Amongst
the annoyances of the night, a throng of noisy women at
the box-door was not the least, brawling the sale of box
ickets at half or a third of their price.

years past, especially since the mission of the Marquis
and which has been so long neglected on se:4'mi of the state of po.
Mies. are now to be redressed as fur as possible; Count Guilleminut
will therefore urgently demand the restoration to the French of all
the privileges which they formerly enjoyed in tke Levant ; and
however detrimental this may be to the interest of arother ranee,
it is still hoped that he will attain his object. It'e understand that
he is the bearer of magnificent presents for the Sultan, and for the
3linister uf the Porte.

The following is an extract of a private letter from
Cadiz, received yesterday :

CADIZ, MAT

" We exis.,rienced one of the most severe., gales of wind
on the 7th and Nth instant that has IN en witnessed in this
bay for many years. It began to bb w from the north-
east. and cast on Saturday, and on Sunday it increased
almost to a hurricane.

" Nearly all the ships in the bay suffered, more or less;
some, indeed, became total wrecks upon the rocks, and
others di ifted over on the Port St. Mary's coast. The
Spanish Patriot, of London, Captain Brea, was obliged
to cut and put to sea, and the greatest fears were enter-
tained for her safety in passing the rocks, before she got
clear of the bay ; however, she very fortunately escaped,
and is now just returned to anchorage. An American
vessel, laden with quicksilver, with her milts overboard,
and dragged from her anchors, and deserted by the cap-
tain and crew, was seen at Svc o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing, on the opposite coast. She has since been got off
with damage.

" Sir J. M. Doyle left this place the other day for Lis-
bon. He succeeded in selling his steam-vessel to ad-
vantage to the Guadalquivir Company ; but owing to
some private arrangements entered into at home with an-
other individual, he had many difficulties to surmount be-
fore the sale was completed."
