• Stn.-111 Most sincerely RI be !hoped that the
lords Commissioners of the Admiraltt will direct
their attention to the really distressed situation of the,
Patters in the Navy. I allude more particularly to
those who have chosen this for theirprofcssion in early
life, and by the most exemplary conductltave attained
the appointment, nominally, to a ship in Ordinary,
but for the want DE interest have not been able to ob-
tain active employment. This is the case of many
who, without interest or friends, have lived upon the
hope of the common place reply, to an applicatton for
employment—s, that a note was made of their request,
and woad be attended to at a 'troller 011itortunity." Thirty
pounds per annum is all the pay this class of officers
can boast vlben unemployed—certainly the wdrst paid
class of Officers in the Navy. I ans, Sir, very respect-
fully, your obedient humblt servant. JOHANNEs.

DRURrL "INETHEATRR.

The Tragedy of Othello was repeated at this Thea.
tre on Saturday last, when Mr. KEAN again made his
appearance, as !ago. This character is so clearly de.
scribed by SIIAKESPEARE that it cannlA be mistaken,
yet it seldom receives from the actor the nice discri-
tnination which it requires. Nobody, who saw COoKE
in lago, doubted that he was a villain ; for he played
the viliain so openly that the audience were surprised
that those should be deceived upon whom he practis-
ed his villainy..—this was a great fault, and the less
pardonable as lags himself says,
when try outward action doth demonstrate •
The native act a d figure of my heat*
Igt compliment extern, 'di not long after
But I will weir my heart iipon my sleeve
For dawn to peek at lam n3t. what I am."
Mr: KENNA attempted the part but failed from a
*try opposite cause to CooxE ; the one wanted the
art to conceal his villainy, t►e other wanted the power
occasionally to display it ; and in seeing KEMELE%
logo you wondered, when speaking by himself, that
his countenance should exhibit a feeling so little in
ttaison with the expression of his thoughts. Mr.
performance of logo was free from these ob.
jections, and confirmed our opinion of- vain: in
taking a just conception of his author ; he gave a true
portraiture of logo—
s Who knows all qualities, with a learflo4 spirit
Of huMan dealings."
In the scene where he first excises the jealousy of
the credulous Moor, even a suspicions mind might
!laic been betrayed ibto a belief of the love and
'honesty" of logo, so properly slid Mr. KLAN avoid
that half dissimulation, which has been practised by
others—and for the purpose, forsooth, of shewing the
audience how well they look the knave. After fago's

remorseless state of a heart which bt.ldly dares

Tat GRAND Fars.—The workmen have com-
menced -their operations in Burlington gardens for the
grand Gala, to be given by the embers of White's
Chocolate House. The ground in the rear of the
-:.nsion, was cleared of the underwood, and the
branches of the lofty trees lopped off to the height cf
feet. There will be two principal rooms; the one
r dancing, '2OO feet long by 61 ; the other for the
,pper, 230 by 70. Added to these may be enume-
Ined the. Royal Banciseting-coom, the dimensions of
which will.be 90 feet by 60. Another room leading
irons the great supper-room at the upper, end, will be
130 by 26 ; and connecting with that will be another
large dimensions. The centre of the ball, and great
supper-rooms, will be 30 feet high. The tables in the
oil ce REGRNT'S tent will be six feet in width. In
each of the long rooms will be erected a double row of
w
pillars, and between each pillar will be iencled a
large flag richly, emblazoned, commenCmg with the
arms of Great Britain, and next those of our illustrious
Allies; then follow the standards taken from BONA-
'ART. R. The rear will be bickight. up by the Duke of
WawyGrron's arms, and those Grail the great Gene,
:alb (foreigners as well as natives), who have distill?
guished themselves throughout the whole of the gloi,
zious struggle. There will be a middle aisle, or prof
artenade walk, for the company, and the lighting up
of the whole will excel in every respect; it will be a
perfect chef Cesrure.
