MERCANTILE SHIPPING, &c.

THE THAMES EAST INDIAMAN.
EASTBOURN, FEB. 22, 4 P. M.—The Hon. Company's
ship Thames was hove off the Beach about 11 o'clock this
morning, and is now on her passage for London, where it is
hoped she will arrive safe in a day or two : she makes but little
water ' • too much credit cannot be given to Mr. Westcombe and
Capt. Hardy, whose perseverance has been very conspicuous:
four days since it was considered impossible that the ship could
have been got ready, :)ut the caulkers and carpenters have
manfully done their duty. Mr. James, one of the owners, has
been very active during the affair. It is considered that this is
the first instance of a ship of this size having ever been got off
on the coast of Sussex for many years. .

On the MINIATURE VOIITI;AITS,
Painted by Miss E. E. KENDRICK.
BY JOHN TAYLOR, ESQ.

liteinnlcx, thy skill can BEAUTY slim
With ev'ry varying trace!
Can give EXPRESSION'S vivid glow,
Or PITY'S softest grace.
Couldst thou, with equal skill, display
The features of the mind,
, And on thine own that skill, essay,
More beauties we should find.
For then embodied we should see
GENius and Woburn appear,
And view each mental charm in thee,
To TASTE and VIRTUE dear.
And then, thou know'st, thy sister's mind
Would well demand thine art,
For each with kindred pow'rs clesign'd,
Have each a kindred heart.

BaxawroN, FEB. 21.--The KING took a pub.
lic airing yesterday, in an open carriage,letweeu
one and four o'clock.—Her Royal Highness the
Princess AuGus'rA, accompanied by Lady MARY
TAYLOR, arrived at the Pavilion soon after four
o'clock this afternoon.

KING'S THEATRE.—The Great Room at this
place was opened last night by Mr. WALKER,
for the purpose of entering upon a series of Lec-
tures on Astronomy, illustrated by his Eidoura-
nion. 'The abilities of this Gentleman have been
too long known to the public to require any eulo-
glum on the present occasion.—lfe had A nume-
rous, attentive, and applauding audience.
THE ORATORIO. -- The regular season for
Oratorios commenced last night at Covent-
, Garden Theatre, under the direction of ,Mr.
BOCHSA and Sir GEORGE SMART. The chief
performance is entitled The Deluge, the words
of which were written by Mr. CHARLES DIBDIN,.
and the music was composed by Mr. BocusA.—
We conceive that Music attempts too much when
it endeavours to express such subjects. Mr,
BOCIISA has been as successful as most of his pre-
decessors who have devoted their powers to the
same purpose.—There was a miscellaneous act,
the music of which was well selected. The chief
vocal performers were Mrs. SALMON, Miss STE..
PHENS, MPS. BELLEHAMBERS, BELLAMY, PYNE,
SAPID, also Madame RONZI, Signors DE BEGNIS,
PLACCI, AMBROGETTI, and Madame CAMPORESE•
With such a host of talents the entertainment
could not fail to excite the admiration of a nu-
merous audience.

ENGLISH OPERA HOT'SE.-The success of Mr.
BARTLEY, last year, in iiis course of Astronomical
Lectures, induced him to come forward again
last night, and to resume those pleasing and in-
structive discourses. The various subjects were
treated with comprehensiveness and perspicuity;
and illustrated by the admirable machinery ex-
hibited last season. The whole was received
with warm and rapeated approbation.
• Mr. COUTTS, we are sorry to state, was not so
well yesterday.
A Bill is to brought into Parliament under
Ministerial support for continuing the bounties
