An exchange of Prisoners has been negociated
with the King of Denmark.. 'A cartel has beennp.
pointed, and will sail in a few days froth she NOre ; '
she will take upwards of 200 Danish prisoneri,
principally sea►nen, and return with an equal
number.

A wanton and cruel attack has been made, by an
anonymous writer in a Morning Paper, upon Mr.
RAYMOND, the Astor, charging him with having
deserted the interests of the great body of performers,
who have been thrown out of employment by the
unfortunate event at Drury-Lane Theatre, and en-
deavouring to provide only for himself. Messrs.
WHOUGHTON, 'BARNISTER, BRAITAM, • and L'LLIS-
Tort, have, much to \their credit, come forwasd to
repel this slander. 'the private worth, and literary
talents of Mr. RAYMOND; might be expected to ex-
empt him from such illiberal attacks.
Nothing has been settled yet respeaing a plan
for the 'rebuilding of Drury• Lane Theatre.—The
Duke of BeDFORD, from his munificent charkter,
his large property, and his interest in the concern, is
the person to whom the Performers and the whole
aims' of sufferers chiefly direst their attention.—
This Nobleman, as well as the Duke of NOHTHUM.
BETILAND, principally coetributed to invest the late
Mr. IttcusensoN with thatshare of the property of
which his widow and children have been so no form-
stately deprived. Under theauspices of the Duke
of Benvoun, some plan may be devised to which the
Public in general, as well as the parties immediately
concerned, would look with hope and confidence.
Music.—The Concerts under the direaion of
Mrs'. BILLINGTON, NALDE, and Bit/MANI, corn-
minced for the Season last night, at the Hanover..
square Rooms. The seleaion and performance were
in the best style of excellence. In addition to the
great Performers who preside over these Cencerts,
Sturm, MortELLI, BELLAMY, VAUGHAN, Goss,
Mahone BIANCHI, *Ws DARBY, and Sipora COL-
LINI, are engaged to support them. Some of the
Pieces were encored, and the whole was an exqui-
site repast for the.copnoisseurs.—Mrs. IliwNou:ou
seem to be quite in the meridian of her powers. The
novelties of last night were a grand Sit yonia, com-
posed by.Rosteenn, aced a Glee, by M. P. KINd,
sung by Basts.ssr, VAUGHAN, and BELLAMY. •

Notwithstanding the immense attraction of CA-
TALAN' at Bath, the benefits there have hitherto
been splendid.—Mrs.Wmnsoa's, on Saturday,
bumper; and Miss JAINIECONIB, on. Tuesday, a com-
plete overflow. It is highly creditable to the Bath
public, that however inclined to countenance the
novelty of strangers, they never desert the merit
that constantly caters for them thronghout.the year.
Fitts.--During the conflagration at Christ's Hos-
pital, Oxford, another fire, of a more destructive na-
ture, broke out at Lee Farm (Mr. Hodgkins's), in
the same county, sixteen milts from Oxford, and
nine from Dorchester. It broke out in a hen-roost

in a spacious farm yards and communicated to the
stables, over which a man and boy were . sleeping,
and whe were burnt. Above twenty head of clittle
were destroyed, together withsevFral ricks of corn
and hay : neither Mr. *Hodgkins, nor his family were
at home at the time of the tire. The'pretnises were
but sligtitlY insured.
