Mr, (box E bad performed on the 10th last, Macbeth, 'Oyler",
Z antra , and several others of his favourite characters at New
York. The papers of that city are filled with critiques upon
his performances; in some of which, his pronunciation of the
words thy and my are severely censured. The admiration of
his talents and acting, although very great, is not universal ; for
there were not wanting persons who insinuated that this could
not be the great London actor of whom report had spoken so
loualy, but a substitute. The terms of his engagement are
12,000 dollars and three benefits, for about forty nights. On
one night the receipts of the Theatre amounted to upwards of
2,000 dollars.

A lamentable occurrence took place in Port Royal Moun-
tains, Jamaica. The dwAling-house, &c. and from 25 to SO
acres of full bearing coffee, on the plantation of Mr. Robert G.
Dalhouse' sunk down and disappeared on the 15th of Novembers
and nothing but the ridge of the house was discernible. Some
days previous to this accident, the earth was observed to crack
and sink in a trifling degree, and the house to be affected by it.
when Mr: Dalhouse was advised to remove with his furniture,
which he fortunately did. The cause is not well ascertained . -
but it is supposed to have been occasioned by a hollow or sub-
terranean passage in the earth, which swallowed up the build-
ings, &c. as thrre was not the smallest symptom of an earth-
quake at the time.
Amongst the nouvelle amusements at the Opera House, is
" The Devil to Puy amongst the Proprietffs." A new musical
piece, called " The TAYLOR done over," is in rehearsal.
A young lady, of respectable connections, and an officer's
daughter, elope d a few days since from a boarding-school at
Chelsea, with a jolly young waternaan. The father of the fair
damsel is now in Portugal with his regiment.
A man of the name of Hood, went from Slough to Hyde-
Park, on Tuesday (20 risilcl) in two hours and a quarter, being

guineas.

Mexico. It appears the people in that part of Spanish America
are dev.rrnined to follow the example of Buenos Ayres, and
form a Government for themselves, and two Captains of Caval-
ry and a Priest are at the head of the insurgents.—The Viceroy
of Mexico has taken th field at the head of 14,000 men, but as
his troops are chiefly natives, it is expected that they will aban-
don the Viceroy and join their countrymen.
A NEW ORDER or PHYSiOGNOMIS ts.—A man was tried on
Tuesday evening at the Old Bailey for stealing two pig which
were discovered slaughtered and scalded on his premi,es. The
grooms qfthe stye, who identified the pigs to be those wl.ich had
been stolen, swore, that they knew them by their countenance's,
which, although distorted by death, from their long acquain-
tance with the animals, theydistinctly recognized.
