WEDNESDAY being the Anniversary of the
Kr AG's Cc,ronation, Lord BoLToN, Governor of the
Isle of Wight, gave a Ball and Supper in the even-
ing at Carisbrook Castle, at which nearly three
hundred of the Nobility and Gentry of the Island
assembled. About nine o'clutek his Lordship opened
the Ball with thiLady of Dr. WoRsLET, and Danc-
ing continued until one o'clock, when the Company
adjourned to the Supper Rooms, where the Tables
were spiead with all the delicacies of the season.
The most marked attention was paid by his Laird-
ship, Lady BOLTON, and. Miss PAwtErrs, his Lord- •
Ghip's daughters, to every individual of the company,
and it was not Unril nearly seven o'clock the next
Dlorning that the whole of the Company &parted.

According to intelligence from Lisbon, a Me_
morial signed by the British Merchants -.in that
City, on the subjea. of the prohibition lately im-
posed on the importation of cordage, has been pre-
sented to the PRINCE REGENT by the British Envoy,
which has had in some sort the desired effeef, as
the prohibition is not now to take place till the
28th of November next.
The Headd-quarters of the French Troops in the
atavian Republic were removed on. the '2oth inst.
from the ii3gue to Bergen-op-Zoom, previous to
their final treparture.
A Mr. BOTINEAU, the inventor* of a method by
which the approach of ships 'at sea may be discover-
ed at a much greater distance than it can be dis_,
--evened at, by any common means, died lately 'in
great misery at Pondicherry. It is affirmed, that if
he had
.been on board the French Fleet at Aboukir,
his art would, by direaing the timely escape of
that Fleet, have prevented the vi6tory of Neesoe.
lie would not discover his secret in France other_
Wise than forea nairat appointment; which was de_
.Hied him. His secret has perished with him ; but
a Mr. LEROY, a Medical, Professor, affirms,- that
Le is now capable of explaining the principles of :the-
art ; and asserts, that it was not unknown to the
ancients. It became known to BOTIN EAU ,entirely
by accident.
The Diving Experiment, so imperfeEtly tried by
'qr. TODD, has been most successfully made some
leers since by M. K / NDERT, of Breslau. The
'fitter crossed, the river Oder, in the presence of an
iaenense multitude, walking across its bottom at
'the depth of za leer. In the middle he performed
the ope.ratioo of sawing through the trunk of a tree,
which was sunk for that purpose by weights attach.

ed by Miss MA.RiunT, a Lady who, we under.
stand, has obtained no -share 'of fame-on Pro:
vincial boards.
Miss MARRIOT is an elegant girl in person;
and her face is regular and handsome. Her de-
portment savours of genteel life, btit appears some_
what too studied.' The same objettion may be
made to her utterance, which is sometimes too ela-
borate, and sometimes too thinciNg.
Clarinda is indeed acknowledged to be in some
degree a Coquette, though she is reformed by her at.
tachment to a worthy lover. Something of affeaa-
lion is therefore to he expeaed in her manners,
,and hence we should not hastily determine on the
general deportment of this Lady, or on her mode
of enuncit.tion which she may adopt as charafteris.
tic. She certainly appears to have a just concep-
tion of the part altogether, and rendered it very
prominent in the Comedy. Her face in the ge:.,
neral outline, as well as in complexion, bears -:a re-
semblance to Mrs. GIBBS.

Miss MARA TOT appears to be well entitled to
station on the London boards, and is meth better
calculated to' take the lead in parts of genteel Co-
medy, and particularly those that are 'markets by
Sentiment, than most of the present race of Adres.

tamed kindness, and seemed to be very well satis-
fied with her performance.
Lewis was all animation' in his Ranger, which
we never saw him play with more ipirit.
Mrs. MATTOCKS, as soon as she .appeared in Lu-

tress of so much genuine merit.

Strickland, rendered those charaders more resped„,

KNIGHT's jack illeggot was diverting,•but more
calculated to please the Galleries than fulfil the de.
sign of the Author. jack Afeggot is more pre-
ciiely quaint than obtrusively familiar. -But Ac-
tors are' so strongly tempted to divert an Audience,

rather than rigidly to conform 'to' the meaning of a
dead Author, that they_may be excused for a little
amusing extravagance.

ANECDOTE.—The late Mr. CAMBRIDGE, in his
eager thirst of knoWleclgei was sometimes apt to
become a little too credulous, notwithstanding all
his knowledge and all his judgment. Being informed
that CAMELS had bte.i found in some parts of
America, he asked a Scotch Gentleman, who had
just returned from that C>untry, whether he had
ronlly seen any CAMELS while he was tilt re. " Oh !
yes," said the Caledonian, in pure simplicity,

Mr. INCLEDON, whos‘e engagement .at Covent_

tered into new articles with Mr..HARRIS for five

BRAHAM is ahio re-engaged.
DOWTON has formed a new engagement with
Drury_lane Theatre, on terms highly creditable to
the Performer and Managers.
RUSSELL, who appealed abaut two seasons since
at Drury_lane Theatre, is also re-engaged.

taking of Seringapatatn. The Pielure is, we un-
derstand, intended for General HARRIS. We hope.
the Artist will acquit himself as well as he did in
his representation of Lord CokwwALLIS receiving
TIPPO'S Children as Hostages, a woik 'very credit-
able to his talents.

When Mr. TOM) came up on Thurqlay, after
one'of his dips in the big tub, at Ranelagh, he was
asked. by (Inc of the Company if he had caught any
fish ; " Yes," replied a Gentleman, gg a few
Gudgeons."

A scene of very great distress was last week wit.
nessed in the family of Mr. LLOYD, an eminent
Clothier, of Uley, Gloucestershire : his three chil-
dren were ill of a fever ; on-Tuesday, the. eldest,
aged eight years, died in consequence ; on Wed-
nesday, the second, aged six, also died ; and in a
few hours after, the youngest, aged about two.
MANiION-HOUSE.— john Clarte was fully corn_
[bitted by the Lord Mayor, charged with embez-
zling- differ-Ant sums of money entrusted to his
Care. --From the evidence it .appeared this youfig
man was Clerk to Mr. Yelloway, an eminent tim-'
ber-merchant in Earl street,
,Blackfriars,- who de-
posed that the Prisoner had robbed him at different
times to-a considerable amount, and sold deals'with-
.out accounting for the money.
John East proved, changing the Prisoner's Bills
for his employer. Both Bills Mr. Yelloway said
the Prisoner never gave any account of. The Pri-
soner, upon his first examination, endeavoured to
criminate one Thatcher, a sawyer in,the yard, with
often receiving part of this money, which he had not
worked for. Though there were strong circum-
stances against this man, he was discharged frit.
want of evidence. The Lord Mayor, however,
told him, that he had no doubt but he must have
known'that this young man, who had so often given
him money for what he had never worked for, was
robbing-that master whose bounty he had so long
re i
received.

Thomas Daley was likewise fully committed for
trial, for stealing a pocket-book, containing some
foreign gold coins, and two Bills of Exchange, one
for 2001. and another for sot. the property of Mr.
Francis Cameron.
