THE THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.--NIiSS SMITHSON, from the Dub-
lin Stage, made her first Appearance last night as
Miss Hardy, in the bustling but flimsy comedy
of The Belle's Stratagem. Miss SmrTrisoNt is
young, possesses- a fine figure, and an agreeable
'ace. Her voice in speaking is well-toned,
her utterance is without affectatiOn, and .her ac-
tion also is unaffected, if not graceful. The part
demands not only variety of powers, but entire
. self-possession; and therefore it would be
to decide hastily on the general merits of a
young lady on he, first appearance before so
awful a tribunal as a London audience. Alto-
gether she acquitted herself respectably, which
is as much as could reasonably be expected.—
There were other changes in the performance
Mrs. ROBINSON was the Lady Frances Touchwood,
instead of Mrs. URGER. We suppose there must
be some good reason for this change, as Mrs.
OnGr.tt was so pleasing a representative before ;
but it would be injustice: tia-Mrs.---floancsoN not
to -admit that she gave kdelicate.interest to the
part, and that it was a promising specimen ,of
what her comic powers may become by prac-
tice. The other change was the allotment of
Doricourt to STANLEY, instead of RAE, certainly
1101 to the advantage of the character.
COVENT-GARDEN.—The absence of Miss STE-
PHENS occasioned' the assignment of Lucy .Ber-
tram, in Guy Mannering, last night, to Mrs. GAR...
RICK, formerly Miss GRAY, of this Theatre. She
is a lively Actress ; and if she had not follo,ved
such • a singer as Miss STEPHENS, her musical
powers would no doubt have. appeared to greater
advantage.

Last -n;itlit's Gazelle
dolence to rite PRINCE. RFGENT from the linrgh
of Dingtrall, the Burgh of Kirkby in Kendal, and
from the Stoat us Acadernicus of the University of
Edinburgh.
We are happy to contradict the statement of a
man having had his arm broken, and other per-
sons being serionsly,,hurt, by the giving way of
the poles in extricating the horses of the Salis-
bury coach out of the immense depth at, the bot-
tom of Sonthamptort-street. There- Was much
confusion and mat), plans suggested for extri-
cating the animals, which was promply effected
by Mr. CROSS, proprietor of the Exeter 'Change
Menagerie, who collected his men together,, fur-
nishen with necessary tackling, with which, when
properly affixed
_under Mr. C.'s direct ion, they
were at length brought to the surface alive.
The horses were immediately bled.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT TO A CI-lININEY.SWEEPER'S
APPRENTICE 110y.---Oti Monday, about 3 o'clock
in -the afternoon, one 'of Davis's (Theobald's•
road) .boys came to sweep the two pair. stairs
chimney of 'Rockall, green-grocer, 52," Upper
King-street, .Bloomsbury—he had no one to as-
sist` him. Shortly afterwards Rockall and his
wife (who expects •to he brought to bed every
minute) were greatly. alarmed by the crying of
the boy, who said he was fixed in the chimney.
Rockall, who evinced great anxiety and huma-
nity, in vain endeavoured to find out where he
was in the fine, after breaking it open in several
places. The boy cried Out murder, and that he
„Was dying. Rockall rim after Davis, who was
not at home, and then, with no more success, to
' another chimney-sweeper. Davis at length came
himself, and alter destroying a' great part of the
chimney, and putting the owner to more than 2/.
expense, extricated the boy, who was nearly ex-
hausted. The boy was. confined in the flue up-
wards of an hour in imminent danger.
CHILD-STEAL;NG;-Sevcral children have been
stolen lately about the Regent's Park for the sake
of the clothes. A fine girl, three years old,
(laughter of Mr. Mejoe, of-Nottingham-place, was
got away from a credulous nursery-maid, in
Alpha-road, on Monday, lay a decently dressed.
woman, who called her by her name, and pretend-
ed to have nursed her : she affected much kind-.
ness, and begged to take the child for her daugh-
ter to see, pointing to a neighbouring cottage.
The girl, who had two other children, consented,
and the child was found stripped in the .fields ao
hour after.

DEAL BOATMEN.

FOR TUE SUN.

EDITOR,—A report being prevalent at
Deal, that it was the intention of. a son of the
late Sir LlOsitcE MANN to offer himself. a Caio
to represent Ole Town and Port of Sand-
wicla at the next General Election, in opposition
to Sir JOSEPH YORKE, to be supported by all the
Sandwich Freemen ,vho arc 13Qatmen oI Dal,
owing -(it is whispered) to the Ilon. Baronet

not having interest edhiinself on behalf of some of
those persona with qoVernment, in the way of ins-
ligation,' &e. as they exPecked, I lost no time in..
*cuing off for London, and on my arrival this
evening have been somewhat surprised at reading .
in the Morning Papers reflections upon several
StareflleillS which have appeared in your Paper,
relative to the proceedings of the Mayor and Ma-
gistrates of Deal,, in committing two Gentlemen,
of his Majesty's ship Severn, to trial for a capital
offence, acting, it will appear at the trial, in their
own defence, and in ,the execution of their boun-
den ditty. - A long resident of Deal, and having at-
tended the examinations, I can safely assert, that
my own mind, as well as that of other respectable
peysons, was quite satisfied upon the facts, as
•
you stated them ; and I can attest, with equal
confidence, notwithstanding the observation in
the paragraph alluded to—that fire-arms have
been discharged close to Captain M'CuLLocx
and his Officers, either for the purposes of in.
injury or intimidation, anti whether in the streets
or vicinity of Deal, is not important. To prove
the spirit by which the Fair 'Traders are actuated,
I mention another occurrence equally trite : ''
Upon one occasion two marines of the Severn
were barbarously fired at, and sae; ely wounded,
(~ bile quietly sitting on the beach) by two
Smugglers, who, in the most dastardly manner, -
crawled 'Title beach, anti, unseen, took a deli-
berate aim. Of the feeling existing in the minds
of some persons here, upon the resistance so gal-
lantly given by the two 'young Gentlemen' of the
Severn, in the execution of their duty, and
against the ferocious attacks made npon them by
the Smugglers, some idea may he formed when
Mr. Edward Iggulden, the Mayor of. Deal, did
not hesitate to designate them (in speaking to• a
Gentleman) as " blood-thirsty rascals and pup.
pies ! !"

I think, in justice, all parties should be heard,
which is the reason of my sending these hasty
observations for insertion in THE SUN, to cbun-
teract the evident tendency of the paragraph
quoted. . •

PRINCE LEOPOLD.

Last Sunday 'his Serene Highness Prince
LeoPoLD, and the whole of his Establishment,
observes; the solemnities of the Sabbath in a pri•
vale manner at Came House : the Rev. Dr.
ENGLAND officiated.

The next day this amiable Prince and attendants
took a ride on hOrsebark over Bincombe Down,
through the village of Preston, and from thence
to the Turnpike-gate leading to this town. Here
this Illustrious Personage stopped for a consider-
able time., surveying the distant bays, esplanlde,
and different buildings. His Serene Highness
appeared in deep meditation ; and' it was obserVed
that he did not communicate his ideas of, the diffe-
rent prospects to Sir Robert Gardiner or Baron
Ilardenbrooke, hut quitted the scene in a state
of mind absorbed in the deepest melancholy.—
The parry retired by the way of Radipole Bar-
racks to .Carne to dinner.

On Thursday 'morning.,' Prince Voroniesky and,.
General Count D'Ojerrnwsky, two limssian No-
hlernen, arrived at Came House, charged 'with
Letters of Condolence to the Prince from ihe
Emperor Alexander, They left Came the same '
evening, on their return to the Pavilion at
Brighton.

*The unfavourable weather this week has pre-
vented his Serene Highness from enjoying his
usual walks and sports of the field ; hut, we are
happy in having it in our power to say, that Om
air of Dorsttshire has already produced a visible
amendment in his health, and that Prince Leo-
pold is highly gratified with the rural situation of
Came in, particular, and the country in general.
The Earl of Ilchester, and several other dis-
tinguished Characters, have this week paid morn-
ing visits 'of enquiry, but his Serene Highness's
spirits are still so depressed as eo prevent the ho-
nour of an interview.

The festivities of the season are not yet eon-
eluded at this fashionable Watering-place. This
week has been a round of gaiety and festive mirth.
Balls and suppers have been given by Lady Tal-
bot, Captain and Misses Baker,'Dr. Jones, NI. D.,
aril] Mrs. Poole, each in a style of snroptuotis
splendour.

I • JAN. 19.—Yesterday was a most heavenly day.
The Prince and attendants, alter hearing Divine
Service performed. as usual, again took his favou-
rite ride, passingb the precincts or this town.
To-morrow a Oetreral Meeting of theinbahi-
tants of the Island of Portland will take place, to
vote Addresses of Condolence to his Royal High-,
ness the Prince•Regent'arnt‘bis Serene Highness
Prince Leopold, on the A:b, jug event, so deeply
and universally deplored in the most remote
part.

A temporary hridgetonstructeduf Timber, and
erected on the north side of Rochester bridge,
used during the time the centre pier is being
removed, for the purpose of throwing the two
middle-archeS into one, was lately opened for car-
riages, and has been completed by Messrs. Baker
and Sons, in a most excellent and substantial
manner in a little mere than two months trout its

." Such is the language which the untimely fate
of this ilin,qioisS Princess .speaks to every age
end 'every. 'Condition ; but 'it addresses itself in
Pc-tents peculiarly awful to the young you,
Who Ate no* entering upon the -career of rife, elate
xeith hope arid, eager for distinction : to you, who
have not yet learned by bitter experience the de-
.InsiVe. nature of.all earthly views, and who fancy
that the paths which you are about to tread are
,strewed only with flOwers. How many glowing
vision* h;ive already floated before your heated
imaginations ! How many.brillimet schemes have
you aiready formed of future tame "and greatness
and enjoytmnt The inmge of Death, perhays,
has never presented itself to your minds ; or if
the untrelcnpe thoug!)t would sometimes intrude,
you -have taught yourselves to regard the-event as
so remote that you tni,,.;ht safely dismisi it from
yo.r consideration. But turn not, I entreat you,
a deaf ear:to the- wart:ling; voice which now lid-
dreSSei you.; which, speaking from the grave of
her ,i,hose-loiS we now itirneui, bids .you awake
from the..e golden tiretins, and Fecal your wan.
iermg thoughts, and fix them on your real state ;
which bids you place he; mournful end before your
eyes, and learn by hoar slender a thread your own,
existence -is suspended. A few days only have
elapsed since she, like you, was young, and gay,_
anti pleased herself with the prospect of malty
years of bappioe!is: like you-, site -planned her
schemes -of future action and enjoyment ; and

, 41011 bi It as among" those schemes there were few
►.ti,hidt bore not some reference to the infant:. that
• caused her death; doubtless, anticipating the flight
of time, she would sometin►es fancy her son al-
xeady'horn, and herself engaged in -all a mother's
cares and' ditties ; in shielding his helpless age
from ha'rin; in watching the gradual ►dawning ot
leasou in hii•s soul, and liirminsg Jiiskender mind to
-piety and goodness. These were the delightful
.viSions with which but a few days since she
be-
g;uiled the anxious hours of pregnancy, And-now

.khe, no t►►sire, and all 'ivy hunts and schemes

and joys and-sorvows are buried with her in the
%rave. .••4k single night effected this wiel-uns
chai,ge ; and who of you can assore himself that
not, like her, be cut oiii by an
.untimely
fate -i Who can say, that he is not even fluty 5111..
`_pied out as the victim ;t. death ?. that the dart,
which is to strike, hint to'the earth, has not been

—alrody tl►ro►yn ? that. the subtle poison doismot
irlready circulate tinongh his veins, which shall
congeal bis blood, ft nd convulse his frame, and
close his eyes in darkness ? Consult your own
hearts, and ask
.yourselves what arguments you cati
urge, why a longer period of existence should be
, extended to you than to this illustrious Princer;s:
you rely on birth, on wealth, on splendid abi-
. Ji‘ies,- on amiable dispositi,,ns? If these coidd
have warded off the stroke of death, we lta‘d not
ttow been assembled here to bewail
,her loss. Or
do you tr►►st that your life will be prolonged, be-
cal!se the happittesS of others is involvt-d in its
continuance bcca►►se the prayers of nr►ny rela-
tives whoSe welfare is hound op in yours, are
anxiously offered in your behalf ) What are the
interests which your life can affect, couriared with
those which depended on her preservation ? Or
do you vainly imagine thgt God will grant to the
supplications.of a single family, that Wbichstie
has denied to the praYets and entreaties of a
nation ? . _

" Be not then deceived; fancy not that, be-
.,
cause you are now young and vigorous, you have
necessarily a long course to .run ; and that it will
be time to think of 'death when many years of
pleasure shall have. passed away. Meditate rather
on she lesson which the fate of this iliassri.ous
Princess presents; and learn, that not the aged
only are exposed to the shafts of death, but that
the yOfing.are equally the objects of his aini. Aria
thould God assign to you an untiAly'end, like
ber's;.khoulil her,'he cut off Ia the flower
of youth ; will it then he said olyou, that, like
her, you employed the short space'idlotted yort on
earth in acquiring those, habits and that frame of
mind, which might kaire rendered the prolonga7
Con ofsour life a blessing to your -fellow-crea-
t ores ?_that sai-minded by earthly enjoOlents and
gratifications, like her, you -could set bounds to
your desires, not abused theerts of Providence
That,, like her, you ‘.reinentb,Ved your Creator in
the days of your w.l walked in his coin-
snandinents, and toOk delight in 165 worship
These areihe questions whichi at the. dread-
ful moment of approaching dissolution, put u ill
ask yourselves ; ,and to which you then give
wOrlditn be aide to return a, satisfactory answer.-
The recollectioc,of one deity. well perforined, of
one:bour spent in the service of your Maker,.. will
'then outweigh in.yourestintation whole years trf
pleasure and enjoyment. Resolve, therefore, to
prepare betimes -for that day, which, sooner' or
later must arrive; acenstom yourselves to.cansider
your eivi as always neat` at hand ; familiarise
yonrselv,2 with the chaMber; of dea,h there it
is that true wisdom is taught—that we learn to
view objects not through the medium of our pre-
judices uud passions, but in their real colours

there it is that tteliglOn asserts lier rights, 'intl

honr her :t'Hd'Was occnpied with the contempla-
tion Of her splendid rank, of h'elAllustriOns lineage,
of the throne which she had hoped one day to fill
Were these the objects to which she then 16ulted
for'support and consolation ? No—they were en-
tirely effaced from her recollection ; they were to
her as if they had never been. But though all these
bad fled, the consolations ofll.tligion still remained..
Then it was that she -reaped time blessed fruit
of tli-OSelionts which she had, dedicated to exer-
cises of•devotion ; that she acknowledged the ten-
der mrrcies Of her God, who had so early caused
' her to see tin: vanity, of the world, and to set her
affection's yin more substantial objects. The gra-
cious promises .rcvedied i,t. t he •Gospel, tire pardon

her tinder the; anguish of her sufferings ; which
enabled her to resign her bleaili without a mur-
mur, and to anticipate in faith and hope the glo-
ries of that blessed state to which she' arias ap-
proaching.
" Profit by her example; like her, while yet
in.the vigour,of your days, begin to make provi-
sion for their end ; like her; consecrate the Hower
of your age to God, and strive early to aegitit'e
that heavenly wisdom. which alone can smooth
your pas:tage through life, which alone can cheer
your fainting spirits in its dose. Thus will yon
convert the calamity with which our country has
been visited into a never-failing source of joy and
