TOTAL DESTRUCTION
or TIIE I
BIRNIINGIIAM THEATRE.
It is with extreme regret that we announce the
total destruction of that most beautiful edifice of the
kind this kingdom could boast—the Theatre of Biro
miagliant. On Twelfth-night the play of Pizarro
was performed, after which the manager, Mr. Bunn,
had a party, consisting of the performers and his
own friends, who till midnight were enjoying that
diversion which peculiarly belongs to the corps d'elile
lof a Green-room: they separated, and in an hour
afterwards, about a quarter put one, the town
was alarmed by the terrific cry of " Fire ;'' the
theatre was in flames, and titis distinguished favo-
rite seat of the Muses in the circle of provincial
scenic eflOrt,• was in one hour reduced to a pile of
ruins. The Shakspeare tavern, which adjoins the
theatre, was preserved by the laudable and unceas-
ing exertions of the firemen and the inhabitants; its
mistress, Mrs. Smith, was conveyed in safety almost
on the instant of her aecouchement, tithe house of
Mrs. Csotwalte, the postmistress, nearly opposite.
This theatre was the property of a. company of
resident Proprietors, and was, perhaps,. the most
perfect • model of the kind the kingdom could boast.
The interior described an exact .semi-circle—two
tiers of elegant Boxes surmounted a most comma.
dious Pit, and in the Gallery, which would com-
fortably actsimmodate One Tlwasand Persons, not a
place could be found in which an entire sigh. of the
stage was not attainable. The prices were; Boxes
4a, Pit 40. 6.1., Gallery Is., and at these prices the
House would hold 270.1. By the destruction of this
theatre a great number of persons will spa" perised,
a great property is lost (only 7,000/. ng insured
upon the building), and a deserving company of
performers is thrown out of an engagement.—The-
last theatre was destroyed in August, 179'2, and in
that conflagration our old friend (Suett) lost,
lamong other ornamental wigs, one which had here-
tofore decorated the head of his hisiesty Charles the'
Second.
At the grand civic dinner given on Tednes3ay,_
at York-house, to Marquis Camden, who had visited
Bath in his official station as Recorder of the city, to
administer the oaths of office to G. E. Allen, Esq.
Mayor, on the health of the Right Hon. Reconler
being given by the Mayor, his Worship alluded to
the patriotic munificence of the noble Marquis in
his recent voluntary sacrifice to the exigencies of the
State; and in returning thanks his bamlship took
occasion to say, that the testimonies of public esteem
had fur outweighed the official emoluments he had

relinquished.
A. few days since, the schooner Medina of Liverpool,
Thomss Alialll3, master, front Cadiz to Bristol, was
unaided near Marloes, and became an entire wreck;
but the crew, we are happy to stale. were sawed by
means of Captain Manby's apparatus fur preserving the
lives of shipwrecked seamen.
