SVAMEN'S iIOsPITAT, SOCILTY,—The Met
and friends of this most valuable institution celebrated their
anniversary dinner yesterday at the London Tavern. Bishops-
gate-sire' t, : Vice-Admiral Lord Cots; in the Chair, sup.
ported by several other individuals of rank, and from 100 to
2011 gentlemen of respectability. In proposing "Success to the
Seanrin's Hospital, the Noble and Gallant Chairman cx.
pressed his regret that the declining state of the funds last year,
obliged the Committee to depart from their rule of receiving
on hoard the hospital-ship, without hesitation, every seaman
requiring medical or surgical aid, who solicited admission;
and under existing circumstances to adopt the following
rule—namely, to consider as landsmen, and accordingly re.
fuse admission to, such seamen as had been on shore the six
mondis preceding their application, He trusted that the sub.
scriptions this year would be such as to enable the society to
do away with so painful a limitation. His Lordship then
procewled to enforce the peculiar and powerful claims of the
o7:jec s of this institution upon the gratitude and benevolence
of their countrymen. These were the same race of seamen
who had so gloriously fought their battles during the late war,
and who ought, therefore, not to be subjected now to ueglect
anti misery because their services were not at this moment
required. Notwithstanding she limitation to which he had re-
f,rred, the number of persons received on board in the past
year was 1,4111. The expcnces were accordingly increased to
3,7511., whilst the annual subscriptions amounted to only 1,1301.
There were this day 1411 patients on board ; and the total num-
ber admitted during the short pezioti which had elapsed since
the hospital was established in lilt. was 5,019. Various other
addresses were pronounced in the course of the evening, urging
the inestimable advantages of the charity,

On 'Wednesday last, a deputation of the silk.
trade► had an interview with the President and
Vice. President of the Board of Trade. on the
subject of the future duties upon foreign thrown
Arthis interview it was stated by the
deputation,that a report had been circulated of an
intention on the part of hl. Majesty's Govern.
meta i►nmediately to admit foreign silk goods for
home consumption ; upo►► wh►ceh an assurance was
given by,Mr. liuskisson that they would not be
admitted before the sth of July next, the period
fixed by the Act of 1824,

BLACKIIUtiN, MARCO 6.—The privations en.
dured by the Cotton Weavers in this town and
neighbourhood have been to an extent unknown.
Within the last ten years the price of weave
ing has been reduced so very low, that a
mat!, unless he has from 3 to 6 weavers, in full
work, ran barely earn a scanty subsistence ;
therefore you may eitstlY "30" e the extent of
distress in such fatuities, when only one in six
is fully employed. There is a demand for calico
pieces and yarns, but for the want of
fidence trade is at a stand. There have been few
failures amongst manufacturers, but three calico
printing concerns in the neighbourhood are
bankrupts. From two to three thousand per-
Sons are anxiously waiting tlte arrival of the
Manebe
market coaches from ter, in the hope of
g
hearing of a brisk market. The coaches are err
rived, but I am sorry to hear that the're has-been
a dull market. The situation of the weavers is
most deplorable,

THE THEATRE.
DrtunY-LANE.—Miss FOOTE having trans-
ferred her services from the scenes of her origi-
nal triumph at Covent-garden to these boards,
last night made
her first appearance here as
Letitia Hardy, the heroine of that sometimes
lively, but more frequently posing comedy, The
Belle's Stratagem. Her reception reminded us
of a tepid hath ;--it was of middle heat ;—it
arrived just at the point, where heat and cold
have an amicable struggle. The house was
full, and appeared to be well-pleased (though
certainly we were not) with her acting.—
Her highest flight, prior to the late denoue-
metd, was Maria Darlington, in the farce of
A Kaand fir an Oliver, and this character she
played well. Latterly, however, she has aimed
at the very highest distinction in comedy " vain-
ly vent'rous," she has " soared on, waxen wings."
—Her powers are not fitted for the flight she
has taken ; and let her not suppose, that though
many may crowd a house to see the woman,
they will return to admire the actress. Her
song (with its, to our feelings, very unplea-
sant allusion) and her dance were encored. The
travelled fop" Doricourt—ti Creation unworthy
of a woman's mind, and unworthy of a woman's
regard—Was represented by Mr. W.w.acg„.. Of
him we shall only bay, " Gods 1 how unlilce our
Doricourts of old." Of the minor characters
(particularly the female) we have only to ob-
serve, that they kept • the prompter constantly
on duty. The part of Mrs. Racket! was to
have been performed by Mrs. DAvisON—nerl
that lady was expected until the last minute;
but. Mrs. DAVISON appeared riot; and, in her
place, Mrs. 11. itr.owr, labouring under n consi-
derable lapse of memory, came forward. Mrs.
oItGEII was not much more fortunate
,in her as-
sumption of the character of Lady Frances
Touchtrood. Rut, in justice to both these ladies,
it ought to be stated, that these " honours".were
" thrust" upon them. Those who were originally
called upon to perform the characters, as we have
heard.fincd,rather than they would appear in parts
which do not came up to what they suppose to be
the standard of their abilities. The public ought
to remark this. DawtoN's Old Marshy was ex"
eeedingly good. He is an excellent actor, but
he appeared, when compared with the insipidity
which surrounded him, to ten-fold advantage.

Mus IC.II. COMPETITION.— The forthcoming
Operas at Drury-Lane and Covent. Garden bid
fair to establish the priority of the rival Coin-
posers BISHOP and Von Wrucit. The former is
at present engaged in setting the music to en
Opera taken from the famed story of Aladdin ;
the dialogue and poetry by Mr. SOANP., who has
produced some dramatic pieces. Von NVEBER is
employed in rendering his musical ideas appli•
cable to the story of Oberon, dramatized by Mr,
PLANuttr. The talents of the Composers are
already eitablished, but we trust the dialogue
may not be disgraced by the abominable system
of punning, which the scribes of the present day
persuade themselves has some relationship to an
obsolete article called wit.

When morning suns salute my eyes,
With my companion 'lope I rise;
When Twilight mods upon the vele.
Still whispers Hope her fluttering tale,
At night she o'er my dreams presides
And all my waking thoughts she guides
And never shall n guest so sweet
But in my breast ri welcome meet.

gratified by a visit to an interesting Exhibition
bearing the above title, which has just been
opened to the public. It is upon the same prin•
ciple as the Cosmoransa, but milting at the same
time the advantages hitherto exclusively pos..
tressed by the Diorama, viz. the change of light
and shade. This is very happily managed, and
is exhibited with great effect in the view of
Nelley Abbey by moonlight, in which the
rising of the moon and the occasional shadow
cast upon the pavement, in the course or
its progress, are very well executed. A view of

CURIOUS OCCURIMICE.—A. gentleman of the
tune of llazeldott, on his return to his residence
in lioxton from the Stock Exchange, a few even.
logs since, was so indiscreet as to accompany a
woman of the name of O'Donnell to her lodging
Blue Anchor Alloy, where he was robbed of
two Bank Notes of 5001. each, and one of 501..
On discovering his lass* be gave information to the
watch-house keeper, who soon found out the
woman O'Donnell. It appeared that neither she,
nor any of her female acquaintances to whom Ow
chewed the notes, were aware of the value of them
(none of them beiog able to reed.) At length
a man or the name of Collins, husband to Wilk
of the women, was consulted, and he, on, one
of the 5001. notes shown to him, immediately
recognized its worth, and promising to get
cash for it, departed, and has not since been
discovered. O'Donnell being still ignorant of the
value of the notes, offered the other 5001, at a
gin-shop, the master of which detained ,the note
and gave it to a Magistrate at GuildhslL--,ollon,
nett had still the 501. in her possesaion ; but on her
being pursued to her lodging, it was found there.
All that has since been heard of Collins is, that
on applying to a painter to know how he could
get rash for the 6001. note, the latter sus.,
peeling a robbery had Inen committed, took
the number of the note, and on making known
the circumstance at the Bank, it was found to
be one of the stolen notes,of which Mr. Ilazeldon
had ordered payment to be stopped.— °Ton.
nell on being apprehended confessed the rob.
fiery, and is now in custody, with the
Collins, of whose husband or the other KW: note
no information has yet been obtained. The tvirn
notes of 5001. and 501. which have been roc°•
vered, are now hi the hands of the Clerk end
