HAYMARKIIT THEATRE.

•
A Lecture, critical and oratorical, on SHARSPEARE, was
given at this Theatre last night by Mr. THELWALL
The enterprise was bold and arduous. Even with the
combination of comic, imitative, and musical powers, it
is no easy matter for one person to amuse a general
audience for the length of time usually devoted to public
exhibitions in a Theatre; but in this Mr. THELWALL,

succeeded. , His deportment is easy and theatrical, avid
'his action appropriate and impressii,e. His voice is
sufficiently powerful, and in spite of the effects of time,
his articulation is sufficiently distinct. His remarks on
the kindness of heart which pervades the works of
SHAKSPEA RE, and on the imaginative powers of that un-
rivalled Poet, were judicious. With his remarks on the
importance of preserving the rhythm of SHAKSPEARE
we fully concur. There is no part of the merits of our
great Bard less understood. Actors in general know
nothing about it. The Lecture was well received and
much applauded. '

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 28th ult. repeats. the
rumour of a volcano at Aleppo, and the fall of large
zrolites in the Legations of Bologna, as stated in the
Star of yesterday:`
Accounts from Mobile, received yesterday, state that
some uneasiness had arisen at Pensacola, from the hos-
tile attitude of the Seminoles. Governor Duval had ar-
rived from St. Augustin overland, throtigh Talahesa.—
On the road he understood that the Seminoles had com-
mitted some outrages on the settlers is the vicinity of
Fort St. Mark's,which had been evacuated by the United
States troops, leaving only the butler's houso inhabited.
In consequence the Governor had made a requisition
upon Colonel Brooke, at Pensacola, for one company of
infantry, to be dispatched to St. Mark's. The Seminoles
had been inflamed by the recent treaty, and the laying
out of the new load through their country. Fears were
entertained for the• fate of Colonel Gadsden and Lieut.
Riply, the Commissioners to survey and mark the line
of the country assigned to the Seminoles.
A letter fi om Molinella, in the Legation of Bologna,
of the 6th, says, " that within the last few days a great
number of meteoric stones have fallen in the neigh-
bourhood of the village of Arenazo. The largest of
these stones is twelve pounds in weight. Its fall was
preceded by.claps of thunder of extreme violence, ac•
companied by wind, a phenomenon which much,
astoni,hed -the inhabitants of the country. The largest
.ieiolite has been taken to the. Museum of Bologna.
A ballot was taifen yesterday at Lloyd's on the ques•
tion of amending the present classification of Merchant
Siii piing, when it was determined, by a majority of 352

rake into consideration the suggestion of the Shipowners,
particularly with respect to the relative qualities of
River-built vessels and those built at the Out-ports.
A shoemaker, of Leeds, drowned his-imam child, a
boy about eight months old, in a tub of water, in the
cellar of his own house; on Saturday last. fie Heck
is soon as he had committed the murder; but, on the
following evening, overpoweted with the agony of re-
morse, he surrendered himself to the civil officer.
