DUBLIN. MICI3IIII 43.
The storm which raged in all its dreadful terrors on

In Dublin the weather was terrific, but the hurricane

. . . WATERFORD. Deeeiasati.
Emir yesterday morning, a vessel, sinct ascertained
be a schooner, was descried within the heads of Tra..
tore grey, in a situation which rendered it impossible
afford her any assistance. She beat about for some
!me, apparently using eery effort to get out.-an
..mpt,.with such a wind, always desperate in that
(reatlfut bay; length, at 20 minutes past nine, she
,sized, when all on board pet isheril She was called
Flora, of !Witham. supposed to be ballast laden.—
the stern of the boat driven on shore was " Peter
-man."

At Garryriake, westward of Tremor,, a part of the
of a vessel, called the Barton, of Maryport, has
bees 'cast' on shore. Farther on, in the same line of
clisa.trous coast, near a place called Stradbally, another
ip was wrecked during the violence of the gaje. The
,aptain and the maieciiikodtad remained on board to
last moment, were, by clinging to a part of the
wreck, providentially drifted on shore in a very Miser-
able and ethausted state, and brought with them the
dieting intelligence t. at they alone were the only
persons out of the whole ship's crew that escaped. This
account hat been but too fully confirmed by the num-
- of dead bodies that have been swept on the shore.

Portia,was equally unheeded while she gave the glorious
description of mercy. At length the Jew, robbed (IMO

cate his religion, retired from the stage ; and soon afire/

heard relating to the probable subject which. Mr. W.

not clearly deve:oped, the King of Hearts becomes en-
amoured of that blackest of the fair sex, the widowed
Queen of Clubs. He is opposed, in the persu7t of his
game by several suitors, who mar him by theirjed play.
At length the Genius 1 Good Luck appears, and the
usual metamorphosis into Harlequin and olartabine,
Clown and Pantaloon, is eff.cted by her magic power.
Tilt tricks and transformations are numerous, and they
all went off well. The transformation of a house of
ordinary dimensions, first to a Brobdignagian habitation.
and next to a Giliputian hutch, was very well managed.
The gigantic female figuie, like bog, dressed in pent.
coats, marched oat of the lofty building, formed a
laughable contrast with the fairy loins which proceeded
from the more contracted building, and which reminded

SADLER'S WRLLS. . .
This Theatre opened last night with every prospect
of a prosperous season. The performances commenced
with a new Barletta in three acts, entitled All in Une
Night ; or, Ihe Haase upon the Heath. This little
drama has much merit, and was well received. A
Christmas pantomime, called Merlin's Mount, con. eluded the entertainments of the night, in which SuTrou,
as Harlepin I and Miss GLADHILL, as the Columbine.
were much applauded. The scenery and changes were
admirable, and there was much ingenuity and novelty
in many of the tricks. The whole of the performances
gave entire satisfaction, and cannot fail of attraction.

Of co.rsiderable merit, and the drama throughout was
exceedingly well supported. A surprising child, not
[more than eight years old, astonished the spectators by
!kel toeing on the tight rope: and the Ballet ot the iinar-
*law Daped,. in which the ,numerous pupils. of Maus.
Huutarr, from Paris, displayed their graces, was aloes'
sufficient to attract a numerous company. Added to
the above, a new Extravaganza was introduced, called
Crows -a-800 ; or. the Ape and the infiliser in which
'the extraordinary and fkxible-linibedliOtitik exhibited
his agility to great advantage.

COBURG.
'The industrious and active exertions at this Theatre,
to attract its por►ion of popular favour, cannot fail of
succeeding. Exclusive of a new magnificent spectacle
of enchantment, called the Hag and the Ltxperor, a
new grand Drama commenced the entertainments. en-
titled the City of the Plague, axd the Great Fire of
London. This Drama is in two Acts, in which are in.
troduced a variety of incidents. The subject is peen•
liarly interesting, and it is managed with much skill
and address, and produced considerable effect. The
whole of the entertainments were much and deservedly
applauded.
THE DIORAMA, IN THE REGENTS PARK.

This beautiful exhibition continues its unrivalled at-
traction. 'lts surprising. illusion appears like magic,
•and every time it is seen at discloses some new beauty.
It .was numerously attended yesterday, and we know of
no'greater treat that can be given to the youths who
have returned home for the holidays, than a view of the
Diorama, when at the same time they may blend with
the amusement healthful exercise in 'a ramble in the
Park, where a new town appear's...pi* rising.

The Earl of Baactutocx, who is the eldest sun of
the Marquis of CAUTqW, met a very painful and
dis-
tressing accident on Saturday se'nnight, at Kingstown,
near Dublin. • He was walking alone on the railway
kleading to the Pier, and accisdentally slipping, his foot
was caught in the hollow of the vivid, and his leg, we
regret to say, was fractured, and the anck dislocated.'
He was immediately earried.to Mr. Armstrong's Hotel,
where, in consequence, of the house being full, as stated
by the persons in waiting, he was refused admittance.
A Gentleman and his Lady, vrho -were at the moment
passing, and who Were ignerarit 'of the rank of the
stranger, instantly offered bins accommodation in their
cottage, which was close at hand. The Noble Earl was
removed, without delay, and messeogeks were dispatched
to Dublin for surgical assistance; when Mr. MiNa-
MARA, of York-street, promptly attended, and set his
Lordship's leg. The next day he 'was visited by -the
Surgeon General, and has since sufficiently recovered
.to be removed to Gresham's Hotel, Sackville-street.

ODE TO ENTERPRISE.

On lofty mountains roaming,. • •
O'er bleak perennial snow,
Where cataracts are foaming,
And raging north winds blow
Where hungry wolves are prowling,
And famish'd eagles cry ;
lict e tempests loud are howling,
And lowering vapours fly !
There, at the peep of morning,
Bedecit'd with dewy tears,
Wild weeds her brows adorning,
• Bold Eirraara tea appears;
While keen•ey'd Expectation,
&ill points to objects new,
See panting Emulation,
Her Meeting steps pursue!
List, list, celestial Virgin !
And, oh ! the •ow record!

.

From grovelling cares emerging,
I pledge this solemn word:—
By oceans, fields, or fountains,
While health, while life remains,
O'er Lapland's icy mountains,
O'er Afric's burning plains !
Or, midst the darksome wonders,
Which Earth's vast caves conceal,
Where subterraneous thunders,
The miners' path reveal;
Where bright in matchless lustre,
The lithal flowers unfold,
And, midst the beauteous cluster,
Beams efflorescent gold !

In every varied station,
Whateer my fate may be,
My hope, my exultation,
Is still to follaw thee!
When Age with Sickness blended,
Shall check the gay career,
And Death, though long suspended,
Regius to hover near'.
Then oft, in visions fleeting,
Alay thy fair form be nigh,
And still thy votary greeting,
Receive his parting sigh;
And tell a joyful story,
Of some new world to come,
Wbere kindred souls, in silsrp,
Ma call the wanderer 6982,4-

PROVINCIAL BANKS.

The Country Papers are full of notices, issued by
Noblemen, Gentlemen, and Traders, declaring their
confidence in particular Banks. The effect of these
notices has been highly beneficial ; they hare checked
a panic which threatened the most disastrous conse-
quences; they have stopped runs which had begun on
several substantial firms ; and they have restored tran-
quillity to the alarmed mini, and security to the inter-
urtes of commerce.

The same spirited and laudable conduet which in-1
duced some of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Lewes
to come f,.rward to the ass-stance of the Lewes Oldßank,
in the time of the Lite panic, by indemnifying the holders
of its notes to a certain amount, has also evinced itself
in Essex. Lord BRATZROOICI, we are told, in the most
handsome manner, proffered his services in favour of
the Saffron Walden Bank, by subscribing his name for a
given sum to indemnify the holders of its notes for a
sp cific time. His Lordship did this without any re-
ference to the state of the Bank or its resources.

It was with regret, that on Wednesday we had to
issue from our press the following notice s—" Messrs.
Wood, H4ll, Flint and Godlee, of the Lewes Bank, feel
deep regret, that owing to the severe pressure of these
unprecedented times, they are under the painful neces-
sity of suspending their payments; but they can most
confidently assure the public, that all demands will be
Faid to the full." On the difficulty experienced by the
above concet n being made known at the Old Bank, the
Proptietors of that establishment tendered their assist-
ance to keep it afloat, but it came too late,—the die was
cast, and the consequence will, no doubt, be much in-
convenience.—Susses Advertiser.

A tender was made to one of our Banks, during the
Leight of the panic on Thursday last, by John Hugh
Smyth Pigot, Esq. of Brockley Court and Wraxall, to
to 150,0004 in the &I-mks, in case -its partners
found any additional funds necessary to meet the de-
mands which were making upon it.—Bristol Journal.
We are roily to say, that the Bank of Bromage and
Snead, of Brecon, suspended payment on Wednesday.
The leading men and principal inhabitants of the town
aid ct.unty of Brecon have spontaneously come for-
ard, with resolutions to testify their perfect confidence
in the stability of the Bank of Messrs. A ilkins and Co.
—Carmarthen Journal.

The Dorchester Bank resumed its payments on Sa-
turday last. The Bank of Messrs. Henning and Co.
Las not, yet opened; all the other establishments in
this county are lOoked on as perfectly secure. At
Poole, Blandford, Shaftesbury,. /cc. the inhabitants have
signed declarations of their confidence in the stability
(,1 the several Banks in the respective towns.
Great consternation was excited in Hereford, on
Thor day morning, by the sudden stoppage of the Bank
cf Messrs. Garrett and Son. The notes of this firm
w.te very extensively circulated; and as the failure
was wholly unexpected, the holders are numerous,
though chiefly of small amount,. On Tnur,day even-
ing, a numerous body of tradesmen and other inha-
bitants of the city ar.d neighbourhood, including many
of the principal landed proprietors of the county, with a
view of allaying any fears, which, in the present state of
things, the failure of Messrs. Garrett and Son might
occasion in the minds of the timid, alto the responsibi-
lity of the banking establishments of Messrs. Matthews,
flolloway, and Co. and Messrs. Bodenham, Jay, and
Co. sg..ed a public declaration, by which they agreed
to Lake in payment, as usual, the notes of these highly
respectable fit ms. This measure of precautiin has, we
a,e happy to state, had the effect desired by its pro-
on fitt rs.-7 he Comb, bus.
We have the greatest pleasure in stating, that the re,;
spectable establishment of Messrs. Wiliam Skinner and
Co. of the Commercial Bank in Stockton, have stood'
firm and good —Durham Adyerther.
A declaration of the stability of the banking-house of
Messrs. Backhouse and Co. of Sunderland, has been
signed by about three hundred merchant. and trades-
r en of that place, who also engage to take their notes
