•rtit•i't the threat of,lnission, this
place exhibit-4 is grand and as numerous a concourse
of visitors as we ever remember at this time of the
year. KronmAw's last promenade had nearly GO()
visitors. The Honey 'Mon was repeated at our
Theatre on Monday.- natuagate Balt on Tues.*
Was crowded. Dandelion on Wednesday morning
had at least 700 guests.- In the evening Mrs.,
Powitta., of Drury-lane Theatre, for the first time,
perfivmed Bcii,idera, and was very Much admired.
Jqtfier, Pierre, and Priali were Well supported by
CARLESS, MUSGRAVE, and TAYLOR. KIDDMAN'S
ball onThursday evening fully testified the increasing
numberofour visitors. Mrs. PowELL appeared in Lady
Randolph on Friday, and again introduced Master
WATTS as Young Norval. The talents of this boy
are very promising, but his voice, as may be sup-
posed, is very defeetive in the power requisite for a
Theatre.

The apprehensions of a, high tide have extended
to this place; and were so prevalent on Saturday
last that many persons absolutely quitted the town,
lest they should be Seized by Old Neptune, and be
Io.A in his multitudinous waves. Unfortunately for
the bewildered Prophet who excited these fears, the
watery God was perfetStly serene in his abode, and
did not lift his head higher than-usual.
The Inspeaing General is here, preparink for the
arrival of the DUKE. of YORK, who is e.xpeied next
week. Every precaution will of course be taken in
the way of tOrtification ; but our best defence will
be the loyalty and patriotism of Britons, thithful and
ardent in the cause of their Country and their KiNc.

taking a book and paper out of his pocket, pro-

politely expressing a hope that he should not dis-
