SHIP NE\%TS.

FALMOUTH, SEPT. 4.—A paragraph appearing
in The Cornwall Gazelle of this day, of 25,000
hogsheads of pilchards being taken in the Mount's

are, up to this time, taken in the whole county.

ROWING AGAINST WALKlNG.—Yesterday after-
noon, a Gentleman belonging to Chelsea Hos-
pital bet five guineas with a Gentleman of
the same department, that he would row a wherry
from Cheyne \Valk, Chelsea, to Waterloo Bridge,
whilst the other would walk from Cheyne
Walk to the same place. They started at five
o'clock, and the boat arrived at half-past five, two
minutes before the Pedestrian. The distance is
upwards of three miles by land, which was per-
formed in 32 minutes with apparent ease. The
spectators were nutnerous both on land and
water.

Tug THRATRR.-Covent-GAillen Theatre com-
menced its season last night with the Tragedy of
Macbeth. The Hero of the piece was personated
by Mr. C. Ktmat-s, who acted with energy, and
when mellowed by practice in the character, will
doubtless give more variety of colouring to what
was a spirited portrait.—Mrs. BUNN, late Miss
SOMEttVtLLE, possesses a commanding figure, and
is altogether an Actress of considerable merit.
She pitches her voice too high, and, therefore, is
not sufficiently articulate: There was evidently a
good conception of the character in her performance
of Lady Macbeth, and proof of improvement since
she last appeared on the London Boards.—YaTas
was by no means successful in Macduff. His ge-
nius is certainly not of the Tragic order.—Blue
Beard followed, with great magnificence in sce-
nery, dresses, processions, &c.—We have already
noticed the improvements in the interior of the
Theatre.—The House was Pl. The Duke and
Duchess of KENT were present, and were received
with the most loyal greeting, and God save the King,
sung by all the vocal performers, excited warm
and universal acclamations.

Ex ECUTION.—James Poulter, convicted of sheep
stealing at the late Croydon Assizes, and the only
person left for execution by Mr. Baron GARROW,
underwent the dreadful sentence of the law yes-
terday morning, at Horsemonger-lane. The cul-
prit was well known as a person of notoriously
profligate habits, and did not himself, from the
moment of his conviction, entertain the slightest
hope of mercy. He died truly penitent. ,
This morning, about six o'clock, an alarming
fire broke out at Mr. Goodharll's, sugar-baker,
Limehouse, near the water-side, which entirely
consumed the premises, with the stock in trade
thereon ; but by the arrival of engines, and a good
supply or water, the times were prevented from
doing further damage.
