A fe-w days ago, the carpenters having finiflted the I

upwards of twelve months at the Craig, at Dundee),
left her ready for launching next morning. On their
arrival to get her into the water, no veirel was to be
Peens every thing perfeCtly clear. A very high beam
tide, early in the morning, had fet her afloat, and by
the time the carpenters had intended the fttould only
be launched, the veffel was lying on the Lady.bank,
off the Lights of Tay, a dillacce of feven miles from
the place where fhe was left. It is really furprifing
how fhe had cleared the harbour, and the numerous
rocks which lay in isfe way, for when found fhe had
furl ained little or -nd:darnage.
The Taft of the 'three matches which had been made

with a molt flattering welcome; but whatever may be
' the confidence Mrs. JORDAN may feel in her Dan
powers, the has as yet acquired no right to throw
herfelf fo often on the indulgence of the audience as
fhe did that night.
There was a molt glaring abfurdity in the coftume
of two of the characters, which fhould not again be
permitted : Gabby, although uniformly Riled the fool.

ferjeant of a Highland regiment, while Colonel Briton,
his mailer, (ported a cavalry uniform of blue and
gold ! This might pafs at Dutgable, but at old Drury
it is unpardonable.
The Poor Starr introduced to us a Mrs. Du vna rs,
in the chargter of Patrick. Her voice is excellent,

Allowing for a fir ft appearance, Mrs. DuPoNra got
