LOSS QF THE HINDOSTAN INDIANIAN.

'Wk ate truly concerned to announce the loss of
tbt ifindothtn East Indianian, on the r tth instant,
za Queen's Channel, Margate Roads. No certain
atcounts have yet reached us relative to the number
tithe Crow. lost ; but it is repotted that about
thirty have perished,, including three, Midshipmen
and a Cadet, named CLARKV.• Most of them were
lost in a raft which they had construfted, and a
few more were 'frozen to death in the rigging.
The Hindoitan was 1248 tons hurthen. She was
destined to Madras and China it was her fourth
voyage,tand the first of her Commander, Captain
13Autroit, She had on board private bullion to the
4mount Of 45,000 ounces. We understand she has
Parted, and not a single plank remains. She was
one of the finest ships in the Service.

ANoTtitß ACCOUNT.
The nOrtkoa. O- Sailed a few .days ago from
ravesenil, and as the weather has been so extremely
t6niies.tuous., considerable apprehensions were enter-
i.ained,for het safety. It was the prevailing opinion
that.ahe had put back to the Hope ; but on Wednes-
a4Y,night an express leached the India House, with
art eitriont-of her loss.

three o'clock' on Wednesday, some of the masts,
and part of the hull were to be seen above water,
arid it was the opinion of well-informed professional
,litOple, that if immediate exertions were made, part
of:Osgood& and specie, might be saved. The bul.

to th, in hopes of floating on shore. These rafts,
by the violence of the waves, were dashed
against
tech other, and most of the persons on them were
drowned or killed; some escaped with their lives,
and remained floating on the rafts. The Surgeon's
sctvant had lashed himself to the mast, which go-
ing overboard, he was found frozen to death. The
M. ive West Indianian was lost at the same time.

THE THEATRE;

DrariLLant.

Miss WoonrAit,, who made so promising a
debut at this Theatre, in the Tragedy of The Count
of Narbonne, assrmed the part of Adelaide again last
night, and, being less embarrassed, made a still more
favourable impression on the Public. She seems to
ad from the dietates of her own feelings, and those
feelings are obvioUsly under the guidance of good
sense. Her tones were more firm and more audible
than on her first performance.
There is a 'simplicity' in, her anion which corres-
ponds very well With the nature of the charafler,
and she has no affeElation 'of studied graces.---She
was very much applauded, and seems to be confirmed
in, the good opinion of the Public.
Mrs. POWELL was Sufficiently recovered to be
able to appear in Hortensia, in which she di3played
strong feeling.
We have often had occassion to notice the dis-
agreeable mode of giving an additional syllable to
words, on the Stage. BARRYMORR particularly
distinguished liiinSelf last night in this unpleasant
habit. Fro tun.a, ease-a, echoes-a, dead.a, &c.
dtc. N,v'ete among .the words which he uttered in this
manner. • His aging, however, was marked
energy and animation.
RAN Niot4n again acquitted biniself ably in Austin,.
and CHARLES KYMBEE was not -less successful in
Theodore. The House was 'very well attended, and
the Tragedy seemed to excite a strong interest.
