HAMBURGH. MARCH IP.

The Duke of Cambridge has ordered 25 (at tho most
30) horses to be furnished by each regiment of cavalry
to assist in the work necessary for the reparation of the
dykes in H Anover ; 124 of these horses are to go, at
the end of the month, to the Duchy of Bremen, and
afterwards the remaining 80 or 90 to East Friesland.
These horses are afterwards to be given away to the
poorest of the sufferers by the late floois. His Royal
Highness has further ordered that the cavalry regi-
ments shall not be drawn together this year, as they
usually are,and that the saving which will accrue (about
1000 dollars for each Regiment) shall be applied to the
relief of the distressed.

We have only roorr777•7lefer to the Tariff of
Colombia in another part of our Paper. It is a fine
practical comment on the admirable speech of Mr.
HUSKISSON, and the liberal policy of our Ministers, as
relates to commerce. Some of the rattrictions retained
in the Colombian Tariff are unnecessary, but for so
young a State it is a bold and decisive advance towards
establishing freedom of trade.

THEATRES.

DRURY.LANE THEATRE.

Saturday night, Mr. KLAN performed the part of
Othello, in the Tragedy of that name, with his usual ex-
cellence. The House was excessively crowded, owing
to its being announced that he was about to retire from
the stage for some years ; but this was a mere theatri-
cAl rose de perm which, if Mr. KZAN and Mr. ELLIS*
rots live and hang together, will be played off hereafter.
At the conclusion of the Play, Mr. KEAN was called
for, when he addressed the audience in a speech, which
was, to say the least of it, in excessive bad taste. The
public had forgiven his double adultery and forgotten
Mrs. Cox, we therefore know no reason why Mr. MIAS
should revive the subject, unless out of mere bravado.
Alluding to the public press, he denominated it, " a
most powerful engine placed for his destruction," and
boasted that he 'sad risen superior to one of the most
malignant attacks to which a performer had ever been
subjected. This is rather ungrateful of Mr. EDMUND
KEAN, who was as much indebted to the public press
for his present eminence as any actor ever was ; nor is
it true that he, though the chief of sinners, has been
most severely punishei. MACKLIN was driven from
the stage by clamour, and so was that beautiful woman
and clever actress, Mrs. Warm, by imputations which
are now known to have been false.
Now, as to Mr. KEAN'S last appearance, how does
the matter turn out? Why, that he will commence a
new engagement in June or July next, when the public
will again be humbugged with " limited number of
nights," and more " last appearances." When Mr.
KEAN had finished, the audience got a glance of Mr.
Eudwrotr, and fancying be only wanted an invitation
w make a speech, they called for him, when he deli-
vered himself of an incoherent oration, which termi-
nated with a hope that for many years " the public
would have the opportunity of receiving Mr. KEAN
and himself"—the Palau and Orestes of the Theatre.
