NEWcASTI.E, Nov. 26.—0 n the morning of the
2d inst. ahOut one o'elack, the inhabitants of the
Village of Minnyhive were suddenly and most seri-.
ously alarmed by the unpreeedonted rise of Delwhat,
craigdarrotih, and Carsfairn waters. - At' 12
night there was'no sign drain more than ordinary.
In leas than .one hour, however, ali the tiles in the
houses from: tbe.Post-ntlice and dowllward towards

the foot of Dun ream were quenched, a el reurnstauce
which very much increased the terror, not one spark
could be procured to light a candle—the scene cannot
be described. The screams of women and children,

the resolnte efforts of the most vigorous yo.ing men,
at the risk of their lives, carrying the aged and in-
firm to a place of safety; thesight of fathertilabour-.
ing in the stream, and bearing up their infant off-
spring, were, truly affecting. About three o'clock
the water suddenly receded nearly three feet frOm

its superficial, mark, and in twenty minutes atter
it returned, and extended five feet beyond h.—
Perpendiculirly it gained t 5 inches. About four it
began to abate, and at five it was to the ancles in

the street, What is remarkable, no lives were lost.
A stone bridge of 9ne, arch at Toth') has been
erased-; another of two arches at Kirkland of Glen-
cairn has been swept away, and many timber bridges.
On the hangba of G)encairn much. damage has
been done ; and at a very moderate calculation, the
loss, (trim the removal of embankments, bridges,
stone-dyke s, cauls, lime, dung, soil, with the da-
mage of roads, is not less than pooh sterling.

,Ten To EATIT E...-The Rivals, one of the verybest
modern Coniedies, was last night 'represented at
the, Lyceum, and altogether tolerably well.support-
ed.—DowToN's 4ir Anthony was.a fine comic treat.
Nothing could 'be mote justfj, conceived, or 'repre7
seill4 with more genuine humour, and ,
lated irascibility. The merit of JoaNsTota in Sir
Lucius is well known, and he was last night as
etreelive at ever. LnWts appeared in the part.of
Acres, and though the mariner of his father_ was
often 01-.4.9-vable, yet he displayed more original
merit than he has sltewn in any of hitt former ef-
forts j and. we ,conceive that this species of rustic
character, compounded, of Clown, Coxcomb, and
ffo
Coward, arth the. best scope for .his talents.-.-
MiWbUNCAN played the part'Of Julia with feitling„
delicacy, and truth, except in her patting _Scene
with Faulleland, in which her utterance and attion
were too much in the lofty style of the. heroic
drama.—Mrsignwrii did not want spirit and lm-
mour In the part. of Loh,/ , but there was a degree
of faree, and sometimes of violence, in her utter-
ance,. that could 'by no means be expected in any
female 'accustomed to genteel society. We agree
with a critic in a Morning Paper of this day, that
'HOLLAND made most extraordinary expressions of.,
:conntenanca. His features throughout seemed to be
gathered .'into a very formidable frown, and re•
minded us of Hamlet's " damnable, horrible facet.'
He sustained the part otherwise liks a man of sense
and feeling. . This actor has another peculiarity ;
his heels never touch the ground at the same, tinie„,
but each foot, exhibits he pointed toe with the moil •
regular alternation. WrtgNcti was, at. least,lespect.
able in Cqpiaiii Alsolule, but ton stiff in his depot t-
ment. Airs. SPA ims,, in Mrs. Malaprop, deserves
a coMmendatoryi orifice ; and DECAMP Lively
and pleasant in the Servant; It is to be regretted
that no better expedient could be devised-for. the in-
tended duel bet Ween Sir Lucius and Captain Aldo-
lute as far as it
_is intelligible, it is absurd and ridi-
` culous. Faulklands last trial of Julia also renders
his cliaratier contemptible (or mean suspicion, while
the author, no doubt, intended to display morhid
sensibility. These are the chief defeets of this ad-
mirable comedy. •
