SADLERS' WELLS.

The last concert for the season took place here last
evening, under the direction of Mr. F. Chatterton.
Among the vocal and instrumental performers engaged
were Miss Maria B. Hawes, Miss Dolby, Mr. llarrison,
Mr. Henry Phillips, Mr. John Parry, Mr. Distin and
his four sons (Saxe-horns), Signor Camillo Sivori
(violin), Mr. Richardson (flute), Mr. Chatterton (harp);
&c. The theatre was exceedingly crowded, and the
attention and anthusiastic applause which accompanied
the execution of the more popular compositions, testified
that the numerous auditory fully appreciated the enter-
tainment. Miss Dolly was encored in Mercadante's
" Ah to Riedt," and a similar honour was conferred on
the Distins' performance on the Saxe-horns, on John
Parry's "Fayre Rosamond," who of course substituted
another comic song for it, and on Camillo Sivori's Fan-
tasia on the violin, who, following the prevailing fashion
for substitutes, gave the " carnival of Venice."

PLYMOUTH, MAY 26.—Her Majesty's frigate Raleigh,
50, Captain Sir Thomas Herbert, which left Portsmouth at one o'clock
on Sunday, hove in s'ght of the citadel with a blue ensign at the peak
between four and five o'clock this morning. At that hour she was
descried over the Rennie rocks to the east of the harbour, all sail set,
with light wind from the northward. At six o'clock, when reaching
to the eastward, she hoisted her signals at the main royalmast-head,
namely, a yellow flag and a blue and yellow flag over the union-jack,
and lowered her main royal. At a quarter to seven these signals
were acknowledged by the telegraph at Mount Wise. She then shook
a reef out of her topsails, fore, main, and mizen, and tacked to the
westward, against a light contrary wind and ebb tide. At half-past
nine o'clock she was about three miles to the south of the western
end of the breakwater, when she was boarded by Mr. Walker, the
harbour-master. She then saluted the flag of Port-Admiral Sir John
West, which was answered by the Caledonia, 120, Captain Manly H.
Dixon. Having been laid close in towards the breakwater, the Ra-
leigh entered Cawsand Bay, and then reached into the Sound, where
her sheets were let fly and sail shortened in good style, and she was
skilfully moored at half-past ten o'clock. The Raleigh seems to carry
