the loth inst. about half past .nine the evening,
the wind veered from the S. S. E. to the N.B. and
N. when it began to blow _very hard, and con; ,•
tinttid increasing to an alarming degree, until high
water on-the I ith, at about one o'clock iu the
afternoon ; at this time the sea was agitated with a
.tuost tremendous violence, breaking with such force .
and velocity, that the 'surf
.rose to the height of
more. than Wit) feet, rind was seen carried on to the
moors, at the distance* of or or seveti miles from
the sea. The roaring of the wind may be compared
' to that.of an horizon covered with artillery, and from '
• tile motion. of the clouds could not move at less
than the rate of 100 miles an hour. One vessel
(supposed to be the Isatella, of Shields, from
artic.les.washed up being marked with that name)
was forced on shore near the Alum Works at SandS'
„ end, about three miles N. W.. of Whitby, early in
the morning; and all hands perished., About noon, a
most
,atUiing- sight presented itself—,three brigs
were attempting to reach the harbour, which could
only be visible by the surge breaking over the •
cliffs and piers. Two of them got sate in, thought
contrary to all expe&ation ; , the crews were lashed
in the. rigging, except the men at their helms,
who
,were fastened in their stations. One of them
'did considerable damage in the 'harbour, before
her motion. could. be .checked." Part of the draw-
bridge, was. thrown down, together with two houses,
and the bridge injured so much as to-be under the
necessity of being rebuilt; the crew were so atrn
feaed with cold and fatigue, that they must have
perished in a short time, 'had they not reached the
harbour. • The third vessel, after hav'ing all her sails
torn to pieces, became unmanageable, ar.d wept dowl's
(mile, from the mouth of the harbour, and
every soul perished : one vessel was seen to tbuttiler
to time northward of the harbOur, about the mid-
dle of the afternoon, and in' the evening four Sail
.appeared oft the harbour, but disappeared kp 80

cared : near twenty. Sail- are on shore, aod softie of
them lost, between this place and the mouth of. the
Tees, Red several of the crews perished. A,numhet of
.Ye44eLs passed ict theiouth ward, in apparently distress-
ed Conditions. This storm resembled that which hapq
penedon the t Bth Vebruary last, though more buis-,' •
serous. It may be asserted, without fear of exagge-
Yation, that .above one hundred sail of vessels are to/
tally lost, besides' these which have received consii

THEATRICAL PROPERTY.

[The following article we insert in compliance
. , With a particular desire. It is supposed to have an
immediate reference to a , plan, which has been an-
' nouncedin fashionable circles, and which hai been
. in some degree promoted ly the present state OA he
Opera-House.: It is, however, not improbable that
the object of thefollowing 'Paper is intended to have
a more extensive operation.)
We understand, from undoubted authority, that
the Proprietors of the Winter Theatres have _come
to a resolution to put an immediate stop to
,the en-
croachmenti daily made on their property, under the
supposed authority of the LORD CHAMBERLAIN :
their Counsel are decidedly of opinion, that hirnA-
JESTY having graciously- made his elee-tion:,by 'Pa-
tent Appointment, as to -what Theatres . should
exist in Westminster, the LORD CHAMBERLAIN
cannot infringe on those Patents, or legally. licence
. . any other place for theatrical representation, with-
out the consent of the Patented Theatres ; and cer-
tain it is, that from the day the first Royal Patent
was granted, to Old Drury, through the whole of Mr.
GARRICK'S time, and ever, since; until the Chamher-
.: iainship of Lord SALISBURY, the uniform . praOlice
• pt the Chamberlain's Office was, to refuse even to
Hiten to an application for a single night, though
'or a charity benefit, unless the 'party 'applying
brought with them the previous consent iii writing
'f
the Proprietors of the established Theatres. But
beside the question of legal 'right, the Proprietors
also refer to their title, in equity, that the LORD
CHAMBERLAIN, even if the right were with,liim, is
bound by positive covenant not to grant: anynnew
licence for any dramatic exhibition • - there having
been --executed a regular deed,- styled " The final
--irrangement;" the result of ;a long ' discussion
. any{ ' arbitration, recognizing ' and guaranteeing
the exclusive rights of the three established
Theatres, which deed received the express sanction
of hii Metazsry, and was signed under his Royal
pleasure by his Chamberlain, the Marquis SA LIS-
: Poily. It was also honottred'by the concurrence of
his Royal Highness the PaticeetWklis,Who signed
_ it himself, as did also his -Grace the late Duke of
• J3Enrottn . On the faith this settlement sd gua-
!anteet4 the Proprietors of Covent Garden' Theatre
teceivecl fifteen thousand pounds from the. Proprie-
ors ofDrury-lane Theatre, for their dormant patypt
the Kit!g's Theatre contributed ' thirty thoegin'd
&Ands oetrecovering it,s licence, to the losses of the
Pantheon Opera undertaking ;--and finally this, deed
()rated the whole foundation fio the rebtulding of
rnry-lane Theatre, in which undertaking Qa pro-
perty of not less than three hundred thousand
pounds have been embarked, and all -in the eonfi--
idence and en the faith of this arrangement, secured
tindel%such authority.
:-- should the difficulties of the present Opera House
root be evercunie, instead of locking to a new
iCherne or projett, contrary to-all-faith and justice,
~ ..
V.te. understand that resort will be had to the dor,
striant patent, with the consent and for the benefit of
both the Winter Theatres,- which Patent is 'at pre-
. • ientonly withheld from being operative through
respect to the established Opera House, and the
terms of the agreeMent before referred to..
The first' step, we haveleason to believe, which
will be taken -for the 'assertion of the claims of the
iestablished 'Theatres, will be by an humble Pea,
*cod to his MAJESTY, who hal ever been a most
. • gracious and firm proteEtor of their just-,rigltfs•-':.

. ipeaable itidiViduals, • whose propertyis'involVe'et;

tioned, will nb doubt dieet as it merits • the Royal.
