THE 'fiIEATIZES.

Drzuftv-LANE.--The Tiatzedy of Co/id/a/Ms was
revived at this 'Theatre last :;i4ht, and Mr. KEAN,
for the first time, assumed the hero of the
T!te character was so admirably performed by Air.
KENBLE, who-se talents, person, and demeanour
,‘ ere so well calculated !o embody it in such a
manner as holy to gratify the imagination, that 'Mr.
KEAN, therefore, tame forward under some com-
parative disadvantage, but the spirit and energy
which mark his performances in general produced
a strong, tlfect, and excited abundant applause. The
• ragedy has been judiciously restored mole to•
trawls the original, and was al metier brought
forward with such grandeur in the costume, and
such general merit itt the acting, as to premise a
prosperous revival.

COVRNT-GARDRN.—A new mnsical drama, en-
titled The Antiquary, taken from the Novel of
that name, which has become so popular as to
render any detail of the Wile whoily unnecessary,
since the piece in v,ecteral adheres strictly to the
original work, was brought forward last night
at this Theatre. ThiM Dritn4 is ascribed to the
comhined efforts of Mr. Tuttav and Mr.
PococK, to both of whom the Public are
indebted for other pieces derived from the series
of Novels which hate excited so much attention,
and are generally atttiboted to the fertile pen of
Mr. WALTER SCOTT. It is liberal in the Pro-
prietors of this Theatre thus to have appropriated
the first represer.ta;ion of the piece to the objects
of the laudable 11,:,tittition for the !chief of
the Honseless Poor. As the audience at-
tended front nobler motives than a mere
desire of amusement, all critical severity would,
do doubt, have been avoided on so bene-
volent an occasion, even it the intrinsic merits of
the Piece had not entitled it to approbation and
support.

Immediately on the at rival of the dispatches
from Sidmont h, announcing the death of his
Royal Highness the Duke of KENT, the presence
of Mr. PLANTA was required at Carlton-house,
and an express was sent off instantly to Lord
CASTLEREAGH, al Lord SUFFIELD'S seat in Nor-
folk. ills Lordship and the Viscounte,s were
expected at their house in St. James's-square last
night.

COALS.—We are informed that a vessel, which
had the appearance of being coal laden, was seen
stranded up the Humber on Friday mot ning, and,
notwithstanding it blew a gale of wind at the
time (such is the desire of gain), a boat was im-
mediately procured by an adventurous speculator,
who, tearless of wind and weather, proceeded
on his cruise, which terminated rather unluckily.
—His intention was to purchase,the cargo at as
cheap a rate as possible, and then to tax his
townsmen with immoderate profi•s. However,
Old Boreas roaring louder and louder, the gen-
tleman's scheme proved abortive; he was com-
pelled to return, and pay handsomely for his tem-
pestuous excursion.—(Hull Packet, Jan 24.)

A SAVING ON COALS.--Take the ashes and
small cinders which fall from the fire, and sa-
turate or fill them very well with water, till they
are like the mortar used by bricklayers : that be-
ing done, pot them on the back of your fire.
when those who have not made the experiment
will be surprised to find what a pleasant tire thry
will make, in conjunction with coals, and will
answer any common purpose.

Sllieweec-K.—Ballantrae, Jan. 19 —A fine ves-
sel of 87 ions register, schooner rigged, namfd
the Merton•koill of Workington (in ballast) WIL-
LIAM PAT R ICKSONStet, was this morning,
about 2 o'clock, driven on a low flat rock in
the back port of Ballantrae, about 200 yards north
of the small harbour, but happily nes lives were
lost. She sailed from Belfast to Ayr on Monday
last, in the expectation of getting a freight, but
the wind on Tuesday being quite a-brad, she
at last made for Loch-ryan, and the morning
being so eery dark, and thy► snow drifting
furiously, she got upon the rock, before any
danger was apprehended, and in a short time
had five feet water in the hold ; at daylight she
was found to have her back broken, awl her
rudder torn off, and considering the season of
the year, and her present situation, there
is little hope to be entertained of getting
her off. The fishermen of Ballantrae generously
gave their assistance, and are employed in snip-
ping her, and getting the tackling ashote; and
Mr. DavM Ferguson, of the Customs here, has
kindly undertaken the superintendence of what-
ever may be saved for behoof of the owners. We
hear there is no insurance effected on her.

The following is an account of a boy at sea in
a boat, for five days, without food :—" The
Amanthea, Mr. THOMAS lloweLL, Master, Hr.
rived at Genoa on the 4th instant. On the 16!ir
ultimo, when about 12 leagues W. S. W. from
Lisbon, took up a boat, in which was a boy,
named James Stephenson, in a very distressed
condition, who stated, that on the I lilt tilt, he
WRI going on hoard the ship Benson, of South
Shields, Jonta FAWCETT, Master, then lying in
the Tagus, in company with the Master, who
fell overboard, and that the boat was driven to
sea. When he was taken up be had not had any
thing to eat for fire da'ys, and it was some time
betore he recovered from his exhausted state."

Extract of a private letter from Bristol, dated
Jan. 24 :—" The Picton, for Barbadoes, belong-
ing to Messrs. IVAsoN, NOOD, and Co. of this
port, which sailed hence last Saturday morning,
with 14 valuable cargo, was totally lost off Ilfra-
combe in the storm of that evening. The Cook
and a boy were drowned ; the Captain and the
rest of the crew are sate. There was only one
passenger (a lady), who is also safe."
RICHARDSON, Gooln:UCK, and Co. respectfully
acquaint. the Public that the State Lottery Will
finish drawing Next Saturday. The Wheel con.
tains Two Prizes of 20,0001. Money, &e.-
lickeis d Shares, warranted undrawn, are on

OCCASIONAL ADDRESS

WRITTEN BY MR. THULWALLi

,4nd Recited ky Mr. ABuorr, on the Benefit for the Relief
of the ifoxseless and Destitute, at the 7 ,teatre-Royal Co-
vent- Garden Last Night.

Ask you where most Britannia's glory shines ?
"fis not in treasures of her Indian mines ;
Nor that her ftig, by Neptune's self unfurl' d,
Wafts her proud commerce o'er the admiring wotld ;
'Tis not that, thundering o'er the fields of war,
Bellona like, she drives herconiviering cal-;
'Tis not that Arts and Science o'er her isle
Diffuse the lustre of their radiant smile;
Nor that the Mire ilium the rolls of fame
Inscribes a Milton's and a Shakspeare's name.
No, sill that salimr, wealth, and genius boast,
In one bright glory of her reign is lost :
Fur what are valour, genius, wealth and fame,
The victor's laurel, or the poet's name,
Or all on Glory's record e'er imprest,
To the bright sunshine of the feeling breast.
0! blest Benevolence ! when nrg'd by thee
To healing acts of heaven-born charity

Britaimia I yes—tho' tis thy splendid boast
To have seen thy banner wave on every coast,—
Thro' the four quarters of the world to have heard
Thy accents echo'd, and thy power rever'd :
On Glory's plain tho' high thy trophies rise
In pyramidal triumph to the skies,
Yet Heaven's own trumpet shall thro"rime proclaim
Thy social virtues brighter than thy fame,
This the fair field in which, almost divine,
Thy honour, name, and praise unrival'd shine.

Is there a sufferance in this world of woe
Disease inflicts ar helpless man can know,
For which thy healing band and fostering care
Has not been prompt the balsam to I.repare?
Turn where we will, the rising domes we see
And open door's of sacred Charity !
The ag'd, the lame, the speechless and the blind,
Youth, strength, sight, voice, in thee protection find !
Disease and Want the pallid look forego,
And, from thy healing bounty, learn to Glow.

When (lad in storms, the. Giants of the Frost
Condense the waves and stride fronccoast to coast.
O'er realms aghast the darkening temptst rull,
And bring the Nations nearer to the Pole,—
While shivering want and houseless nakedness
Shrink from the blast in ozonised distress,
Direct to Heaven the half congealing eye,
And only ask the direful boon—to die;
'Tis thine to mitigate the inclement rage,
And dark desp•air's exerutiate pang assuage,
The sheltering dome, the cheering hearth provide,
An bid the agonies of want subside.

Oh ! still the glories of this race pursue,
And keep the brightest goal of heaven in view!
Let Ocean's Queen the Ocean's wealth dispense
In Charity's divine munificence;
To houseless want her sheltering care impart,
And clasp the social virtues to the heart.
And tho' those social virtues now must claim
One patron less among the first in name,
Let mourning myriads mingle with the tear
Which strong emotion sheds upon his bier
The generous aim to emulate his worth,
Whose ample soul gave lustre to his birth,
And wade him first—divine Philanthropy!
In every, patriot toil devis'd by thee.
