MR. SAPID THE SINGER.-SAD REVERSE OF FOR-
TUNE.—AII playgoers of twenty years' standing must have
a perfect recollection of Mr. Sapio, who for many seasons was
the primo tenore at Covent-garden, and who as Sir Huon in
Weber's Oberon was perhaps the best representative of that
character who has ever appeared. Some few years since
Mr. Sapio retired from the stage, and for a while practised
as a teacher of music. Shortly after this he had the misfor-
tune almost entirely to lose his ♦oice, and with it of course
his means of subsistence. Hence this great tenor is now
living in a state of complete destitution in a garret at No.
43, Queen-street, Edgeware.road.

A VESSEL BURNT AT SEA.—On the night of the
30th ult. the crew of the True Blue fishing smack, of Rams-
gate, while pursuing their vocation off the Spurn-bead, ob-
served. between eleven and twelve o'clock, a strong light in
the E.N.E. quarter. They immediately hauled up their nets,
and on standing towards the burning ship they were hailed
by a boat containing the master and seven seamen belonging
to the vessel, whom they took on board. They then bore up
for the wreck, which was off Flamborough-head, bearing
W.N.W. about twenty-five miles, and remained alongside
until seven A.m. the following day, when it went down stern
foremost. The vessel was the Anna Maria, of Exeter, a brig
of 300 tons burden, bound in ballast to the North for a cargo
of coals, and the fire is supposed to have been occasioned by
some cinders falling out of the fireplace in the cabin, through
the heavy rolling of the vessel, while the men were engaged
in reefing the topsail. The names of those saved are-..
James Here (master), Richard Prowse (mate), Hector WL.
hams, Thomas Parker, David Owen, Henry Carter, and
Robert Owen (seamen), and Robert Jenkins (apprentice),
who were landed safely at Hull. It is a singular tact that
the True Blue succeeded about twelve months since in
rescuing a schooner of the same name as the above (the Anna
Maria), together with the crew•
CAUTION TO LODGING HOUSE

offers to pay three months' rent in advance. This is usually
considered satisfactory, the rooms are let, and in the even-

finds that his rooms are to be tenanted by a host of dirty,

the floors at night. In a house
at Pimlico, three rooms
were taken, and seventeen lodgers arrived. In another case
four rooms were taken, and thirty-three occupants filled
them, who, however, departed on receiving back the rent they
had paid, together with a bonus named by themselves, the
obtaining of which is, no doubt, the object of these gregarious
gentlemen.
