On Saturday, the major part of the Com-
mittee selected to conduct a diversity of performances at
the Haymarket Theatre, for the benefit of poor Isaacs
(deprived of sight), his wife, and distressed family, assem-
bled at Covent-garden Theatre, for the purpose of coining
to some arrangement respecting the entertainments to be
performed on the night of the 18th inst. it was resolved
that all possible publicity should be given to Mr. PRICE'S
kind intimation, that any of the members of his com-
pany, who might be disengaged on the night in question,
had his full concurrence to lend their aid in support of the
meritorious undertak,ing. Miss FooTE has kindly volun-
teered her services on the occasion, and leaves a country
engagement unfinished expressly for the purpose of ren-
dering her assistance to the poor man, in his darkness and
misfortune. Mr. Jon N REEVE arid Mr. WEPT, have also
tendered their eminent services, as has Mr. T. I'. COoKE,
notwithstanding ha will he required to perform on the
same night; at the Surrey Theatre, in Black Eyed Susan.
The Committee availed themselves of Mr. FawcErr's
liberal offer to play his original character of Sir Mark
Chase, in Alioland for an Oliver, and Miss FOOTE kindly
consented to act her original part of Maria Darlington.
Observer.

On Saturday afternoon a boat, with four
persons on board, was upset when coming up Rye Harbour.
Every exertion was promptly made to save the crew; but
the tide was running down very strongly, and they were
half a mile distant from the town. One man, however,
supported himself by clinging to the boat until be was
rescued from his perilous situation ; the other three were
unfortunately lost, viz. Mr. Hord...trip, a master butcher,
RICHARD STOKES, his foreman, and WILLIAM CooK, a
boatman. The body of STOKES was picked up soon after,
and every means used to restore animation, but without
success.—Hants Chronicle.

KINROSS.—Since the commencemene of the
present storm, a flock of wild swans have visited Loch
Leven. A young one has been caught, which appears to
be full a year and a half old, weighing fourteen pounds,
and measuring from tip to tip of the wings seven feet nine
inches, and from the point of the beak to the end of the
tail four feet nine inches, of a light bluish grey all over,
but of a snowy whiteness under the wings. Before the
draining of Loch Orr, the wild swans annually visited
the Leven in great numbers, and made many an effort to
obtain a domicile on its shores and islands, which, but for
fishers, poachers, aid "plundering herds," who robbed
their nests, and shot them for the sake of their skins, might
have abounded with these highly ornamental majestic in-
habitants of the lakes and rivers. It is to be hoped that
now, on the completion of the present improvements,
when the surrounding shores will be the exclusive pro-
perty of the Lord of the Manor, that some measures will he
adopted for their preservation and protection.—File Her.
