I.l,lNGtb THEATRE.--This Theatre opened again

last night with the same performances as on Sa-
turday, viz. La C4'111022(1 di. Tito, and The Car-
, nival of' Venice. A printed apology for Made-
moiselle CARADORI was circulated in the The.

atre, bespeaking the indulgence of the audience
on account of her indisposition; she, however,
exerted herself with pleasing effect. The season
bas hardly yet commenced, but from the nume-
rous audience present promises success.
Daun.y-LANE.—The new two act piece tof
Simpson and Co. was repeated last night with
great applause. It was followed by the Farce
of Old and Younm, in which little FISHER, as
usual, gratified the audience by her spirit and
versatility. The new Pantomime of The Golden
Ares as we expected, was much improved on re.•
petition, and is likely to be very attractive.
COVENT-G AtIDEN,---rMiss PITON, who has for

some weeks been seriously indisposed, received
a very flattering reception last night on her ap-
pearance as Mundane in the Opera of Artaxerxel,
so honourable to the taste, science, and genius of
. our countryman pr. ARNE. Aliss PATom seemed
anxious to triumph over the languor which con-
' tinued illness generally produces, and acquitted
herself most ably. Her songs in general were
given'with great taste and brilliant execution,
but her triumph was complete in -7%e Soldier
Ilied,'which we have hardly ever heard with
more effect. She was of " course eneored.
PEinl4ll34) Arbuees, Duttuvry, in Artaxerxes,
I3AACSj in Artabanes, and Miss Love, in Sendru,
evidently acquitted themselves to the satisfaction
.of the audience. The Opera is compressed into
two acts, but the chief beauties of the composi
tion are retained. The audience,a very crowded
one, were, as usual, retained by Harlequin and
the Ogress till the final dropping of the curtain.

I Miss BauwroN.—lt has been erroneously
• stated-that this accomplished comic actress has
accepted an engagement at Tar. COBURG Theatre.
It is true that. very liberal offers were made to
her from that Theatre, but she declined them.
• She is now, we understand, ftiltilling her provin-
' dal engagements in the North, but it is difficult
to conceive why an actress of her great comic
powers does not hold a high and permanent situa-
tion in Loudon on the boards of a Patent Theatre.

The following is an extract fr;orn the Bombay
Courier of the 27th of July
" Itii.with feelings of a very painful nature that we commits
mate the following melancholy catastrophe, by which a worthy,
and meritorious Officer (Civet. John Mack) and two boatmen
met a watery grave. The following are. the particulars of thii
sad accident Capt. Mack, of the Hun. Company's Marine,
having conducted the Hon. Company'a ship Buckinghamshire
. well without all the reefs, on her passage to sea, quitted that
ship about 4 p.m. on the 2.oth inst. The sea running very high
. at the time, he got into the pilot-boat fro the ship's larboard
mizen chains,, and immediately directed the tow rope to be let
go, and the foremast to be stepped,. which was done, and while
the crew, were in theact of hoisting the foresail a very high fol-
lowing sea struck the boat, overwhelmed her, and drove her
•. under water, head foremost. The boat soon re-appeared, keel
uppermost, and eight of the crew succeeded in getting hold of
her, but nothing was seen of Capt. Mack. 'Three others of this
crew fortunately got hold of the boat's yard, but the other twoi.
tailed in the attempt, and sunk. The accident being Seen at
the moment from the Buckinghamshire, that ship was instantly
wore, and succeeded in saving the eight men who were clinging
to the boat's keel. The body of Capt. Mack wets picked up and
- bought to Bohibay at 2 p.m. on the 22d, and was interred the*
.same evening.".

OFFICES FOR HIRING SERVAN'FS.--The com-
plaints against the keepers of establishments of
this kind are not confined to our own metropolis.
A case of the same kind was heard, a few days
since, before the Tribunal of COrrectional Police
at Paris. Monsieur Aubert, who kept, as he
himself announced, an exact register of all
vacant places, had informed the public of his
intention to favour any persons with a par-
ticiipation in his valuable stock of informa-
tion, who might be disposed to present him
in return with an annual subscription of from
live to ten francs.• But those who resorted
to 'this loi-diiiintdiSVenser of good things, soon
found that all his promises were vain. A cook
