MR. SAPID THE SINGEir—SAD REVERSE OE FOR
TUNE.—AII playgoers of twenty years' standing must have
a perfect recollection of Mr. Sapio, who for many seasons was
the prztno tenore at Covent-garden, and who as Sir Huon in
Weber's Oberon was perhaps the best representative of that
chaiac:er 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 voice, 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-head, ob-
served. betweel 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 Flarnborough-head, bearing
,
W.N.W. about twenty-five miles, and remained alongside
until seven A. se. 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

in reefing the topsail. The names of those saved are
James Hore (master), Richard Prowse (mate), Hector Wii-
Hams, Thomas Parker, David Owen, Henry Carter, and
Rdbert Owen (seamen), and Robert Jenkins (apprentice),
who were landed safely at Hull. It is a singular /act 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 KEEPERS.—Some of
the large number of foreigners which the " Great Exhibi-
tion 'hasbyrao, victimisingtheughtto
taetropolio, have been, during the
last f'ew days, respectable m partieseatatot follow-
ingpplied manner : —Persons having apart

offers to pay three months' rent in advance. This is usually
considered satisfactory, the rooms are let, and in the even-
ing, on the tenant's arriving, the unfortunate householder
finds that his rooms are to be tenanted by a host of dirty,
hirsute foreigners, who smoke, drink, quarrel, and sing
" Vaterland " and the " Marseillaise" all day, and sleep on
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 otject of these gregarious
gentlemen.
HES MAJEITT'S ETATS BALLS.—It is understood
to be her Majesty's iatention that state balls shall take place
on Monday, the sth of May, and on Monday, the 19th of
May, and a concert on Monday, the 12th of May.
