Our Theatre has been well attended far several
nights past.: The ;Pei° Drame of Tekeli, broUght.
forward by Mr: HUGHES, the Managel.; at a very
great expellee, has amply repaid' his ekeitloris to
gratify the public.
The news of ihe.eaptpre of Copenhagen, and the
consequenoes that attended the glorious• achieve-.
ment of our, brave Soldiers and Seamen, was received
here with the mast lively enthusiasm. Displays of
Vire-Worlis; 'and 'other deinonstrations Of loyalty,
were never More conspicuous.—" Ruie Britannia,"
'and"lllriton's Strike Home," re-echoed from 'every
part'of the Theatre. .During - the performance of
that evening_ the glad tidings arrived.
A fine bnoc gale from the N. E. for these two or
three days past, has.beedrather: unpropitious. to the

stocks, was launched from Era A DIV ANllo,archit Dept-
font; in presence of a numerous assemblage of 'Naval.
Officers', Officers 'of the:Docklards, Commissioners
of the Navy, ecei &C.- • She. is called the Sultan, and
is pierced for 74 guns, but her admeasurement- is
tar superior to, that of any Ship of that rate at pre-
sent in the British
,service. She went off in . tide
style ; some .boatsi- in.' Which were several Ladies
and Gentlemen, were nearly filled with the .swell,
but no more injury than a good splashing.took place.
By some injudicious management the pole on which
the Standard was hoisted fell by the board, but did
no person any injury. -'

penhagen during (he night to have,, been a spectacle
peculiarly awful.' The .number of shells and rockets
at once in the atmosphere,' illumined the country to
a very great distance; and the shOck, of tlid!taimon;
in their diSeharge,": was felt at. a distance of four
miles. ./t is,mentioned, that prior to the tNambard-
went, and while the-works were throwing up, in
order to ,approach the town, it was a.common prae- ,
tice of some of our corps and light troops to run'
in close to the walls, and. with.a piece of chalk to
write. their names on,the :wall, and then return to
the out-pests.r-,On. the night of the day ott which
