" This is to convey to you an account of one of the most me-
lancholy shipwrecks that occurred on thikcoast for a. number
of years. rr
The beautiful ship Albion, of New York, Captain Wil-
liams, one of the Packets between that port and Liverpool,
having lost her. masts during the gale of last night, was
driven into Garetstown Bay, to the west of the Old-head,
where she struck on a ledge of rocks, and , went to pieces.
All the passengers, consisting of near thirty Ladies and Gen-
tlemen, perished but one, and of the crew, only six were
saved. These clung to the quarter-deck, which was washed
ashore under an immense high cliff; and were preserved by the
most extraordinary exertions of the people present, some of
whom were in the most imminent peril of their lives."

.sented the. Ladies and- Gentlemen of this Eitablishment with a
most elegant S'iipper, for their extratitdinary.abd indefatigable
exertionsAn promoting the great success of .Tomi and Jerry.—
Upon the health of Mrs. EGERTON being drank by the com-

quent speech, which was received :with loud . and continued
applause. Mr. EGERTON also acknowledged their kindness
and attention, with that degree of wit and elegance peculiar to
himself. After the removal of the cloth " The KING" was
given with the most unanimous approbation, after which the
Anthem was sung by the whole strength of this'.excellent Com-

..M.AaEsTy's Birth-day, the exterior of the Theatre was most
brilliantly illuminated ; a grand discharge of artillery kept up
a volley for upwards of an hour, immediately after the close of
the Theatre.. The conviviality of the evening wasprolonbc,ed to
a late period, when they departed highly gratified with the.ge=
nerosity of their worthy Host and Hostess.

FATAL PUGlLlSM.—Yesterday an ItiquPst was
held before Mr. Uwwlw, Coroner _for the County of Middlesex,
on view of the body of William. Platt, aged 17, who was killed
in a pitched battle with Henry Smellgrove, who is about the
deceased's age, in Bow-common-fields, last Monday. There had
been no quarrel ; and Smellgrove was heard to say, before the
battle, that whenever he came into the ring he.should not dare
to strike the deceased, as he loved .him as well as-his own bro-
ther. It was deposed that the fight was perfectly. fair. After an
appropriate charge from the Coroner, the Jury rammed a ver-
dict of." Manslaughter, against Henry Smellgrove, as princi-
pal ; and against one Thomas Buckmaster, Henry Deton, and
Joseph Smith, and Francis Boyd, as; seconds." They were all
taken up, being present, and 'lodged. in the watch-house.—
Smellgrove, who arrived in a haekney.-coach from the Hos-
pital, where he had been confined, since the fight, appeared
much indisposed, and had his head bound up with bandages.
It being doubted whether he:Was in.a fit-state tcebe conveyed to
Newgate, with the others, the Coroner told the beadle .to have
the opinion of some medical man concerning him ; but, at all
events, to be cautious that he did not escape.
