The indiference. we had almost said the contemfr,
with which Ministers have treated the Commercial n‘o.
terests of this country of late, is as disgraceful to our
naval power as it is injurious. and calls loudly for in-
quiry. We have frequently had to record «etc of the
most daring piracy, committed on the vessels‘of .a
nation which has swept, and could again sweep, the
ocean, if her energies were not misdirected; and
every arrival from the West [ndies brings a list of
new outrages, a; injurious to our trade as they are
mortifying to the mind of a British subject. The
regular premiums of insurance to Jamaica. and other
islandsof the West Indies, are now from three to liver
percent. If no step be taken to put down piracy,
they must soon be raised to ﬁfteen. at the lowest-Ta
tax amounting toatotal prohibition of all mercanule
intercourse Wldl that quarter of the world.’ - _
The [allowing is an extract of a letter from Capo
'tain Hunts, of the Vittoria, bound from Jamaica to
London, and dated on board the brig Blackett. 143'

of Cherry and For? mar, were shamefufly noisy.
Scatter Taurus—Last night. this Theatre re-
opened for the winter season. A new Grand Melo-
Drame, called The Infernal Search or, The Imi-
-Imm. was presented for the ﬁrst time. The Piece
is founded on rel/fer an imprbbable story. Monti”!
‘(the lnvulnerable), it would seem, entered into a con-
tract with an infernal agent, by the terms ofwhich
he was to be consigned to the torments of the damned,
unless at the end of every hundred years he could
prevail upon a lady of spotless fame to be his bride.
‘The century began to draw to a close, and, as our
chaders may suppose, Monlilla became extremely
tensions to avoid the penalties of his bond. He ﬁred
his eye upon the fair Isidorn, but he solicits-her hand in
l vain; he does not, however, despair. Having a bandihti
devOted to his service, he gets Isidora into his power,
and by every art of intimidation endeavours to pre-
vail on her to consent to his wishes; he even orders
the murder of her father and her only child, but they
are happily preserved; the century expires, and poor
Momma, instead of winning a youn and beautcous
bride, is dispatched to the infernaf regions. The
[Piece was sustained with considerable talent: .Mr.
‘ Bnaxcuann, as Theodore; Mr. J. Kmartr, as Fs°~
igare; and Mr. H. Kenton, as Monts'llr, were very
respectable. Isidore was performed by Mrs. Porn,
from the Bath Theatre, a Lady who promises to be
‘no inconsiderable addition to this Theatre. To con.
siderahlc personal attractions—to a manner pleasing,
:and sometimes commanding, she adds a knowlcd e
of her profession. The Piece has been notimproperﬁy
called an Equestrian Melo-drame. The banditti ap
peared as banditti always ought to appear—very re-
spectably mounted; the graceful evolutions, the sin-
gular sagacity of upwards of twenty ﬁne horses,
brought down the repeated plaudits of the audience.
The scenery was painted by Mr. Taurus, and re-
ﬂects credit on the taste of that artist. The Piece
was announced for the nest evening amid loud and‘
general cheers. The House presented an encouy
raging aspect; the boxes were respectable, and the‘
ga lery crowded. ‘.
Annual Tuneup-Last night this Theatre}
spened for the season with the Burletta of Tour and ‘
any, succeeded by a new Burletta of one act, called‘
The New Marriage Actf The House was crowded as‘
much as on any of the former representations of erc‘
in London. and with the exception of a slightexprew
sion of disapprobation by theaudieucc, during thel
scene of Almack's in the East in the third act, Occa-
sioned by the absence of Mr. Wasaounn, who was
announced in the bills for the part of Dusty Bob. it
produced its usual portion of laughter and applause.
0n the audience calling for Wnuounx, Mr. Lee,
the Stage Manager, addressed the audience; he as—
sured them that Mr. Wauouas was engaged at the
Theatre, and had even rehearsed the part, although
he was then most unexpectedly performing at t e
Haymarltet Theatre. He hoped he would~not be re-
quired'to explain further a matter that might become
the sub' tof in uiry in another place. This apology
was wellcreceiveg, and the piece proceeded with on-
interrupted applause. Previous to the. commence-
ment of the Afterpiece, Mr. Lee again addressed the
audience, and feelingly lamented, that an accident
which Mr. Wanton, who was to have perfoer the
principal part, had met with while dressing, ‘must
prevent his undertakinlg it: the part, he said, would
be performed by Mr. can. by whom it could only
be read. This a logy was also well received, and
the piece procecd’ezl. The story, as may be inferred
from its title, turns on the diﬁqculty the new Manage
Act has thrown in the way of connubial union. r.
Cox, sat. a retired citizen of great age and wealth. is
determined to marry Miss Semiro Sire)", a young
Lady in her teens, because having experience he'd
know how to manage her; and at the same time de-I
termines that his son shall marry Miss Simpr's aunt,
Miss Partial, an old maid, who having experience
would be able to manage him. The young couple,
however, determined to marry‘each other, and by
means of the diﬂiculties the new Marriage Act threw
in the way of old Co: carrying his intentions into
execution, they contrived to effect their's. The piece,
notwithstanding the disadvantage of having the prin-
cipal part read,‘was well received. '

" it it with great sorrow I have to committal. myou the‘
capture of theVittorla, on the 7th August. in u» out of Florida.
by a pirate. She left Jamaica on 'the 87th July. and mm
particular occurred an the m or the following month, when”
shortly after day-light, a brig appeared upon my starboard how,
about seven miles nearer the shore than I was Saddle Hill hear-
ing s. by' E. distant’thirtyjnlles; a short miss alter a schooner
hove lu sight, a long stay within the brig before—mentioned,aad
appeared to me to bewotking up along the coast ; when atelevcn
us. I saw him close to the brig, but I could not distinguish
what they were about. An hour after he was within gun-shot
of me, rowing with large scoops ; there being a very light air from
E. 81%. so that the Vittoria could scarcely steer. lie came close
to, and desired me to heave to until he sent his boat on board,
having then American colours ﬂying. I did so,when a boat-load
of the most desperate row“ human nature can fumish,headed
by an Englishmanpvho it appears had formerly been mate ofaWest
lndianun,cume on board,armed with muskets,pistols,and swords,
lie ordered me, together with my chief mate. second, and three
of the crew, to go into the boat. I did so, and was taken on
hard the schooner, which had still American colours ﬂying:
when i got on the schooner‘s deck, i found to my great astonish-
ment, the Captain of the brig to be Captain Coot, of the brig
Industry, of Montego Bay, which i had spoken a few days be;
fare of Cape Antonio. Captain COOK, together with four or his
crew, were secured below. We were then strictly searched,
and everything taken from us. The pirates then made sail with
the two brigs and their schooner towards the land, a little'to the
westward of the Saddle Hill : the chief of the robbers then
came to me and told me he knew I had money stowed away.
.] made answer I had not; what I had, he had already taken‘
away: he then said he would more than probable ﬁnd that ontu‘
for he would do to me what he had done to a master of some
vessel he had previously taken, which was, that he had put
him into a large ﬁre on shore, and then he confessed where he
had money stowed ; for which, however. he still burnt him
alive. He had then in his possession, in some creek within the
Colorados Beef, a Dutch ship and an interim..discharging,
and said that he would take our vessels into the same place.
" They continued to run in with the land during the whole of
the afternoon; and about ﬁve 2. is. the chief robber took Cap-
tain Coot, together with his crew, on board the Industry, put
them all below, excepting Captain Coon, whom be tied to the
wiodlass, snd made {our of his men fresh load their guns and
dre'at hint ; but they, having a little more of the human being
left than their master, ﬁred at random, which was the prema-
tion of Captain Coox's life. The chief robber then came‘_oo
board the schooner, having first secured some of the brig's mil
below on board of his own vessel, and left her in charge of ﬁve
of his crew, to follow him. When he had been on board a few
minutes, he again came to me, with his knife in one hand and a
eutlass in the other, and declared he would eat my throat. I
asked him what would that proﬁt him, since he had taken my‘
ship and my all from me? His reply to nth was, that if any
English ship of \var got hold of him, he would he hung. I a.-
swered—mnre than probable. Night coming on, and the Vessels
still running down the land, we were put below,'aod two suiti-~
llt'ls pluud over us, and at ten at night they came to anchor in
{our t‘athoms. The head robber then went on board the Vittoria
in his boat; and, according to the statement of my carpenter.
G. Lewis, who had never been taken out of the Vittoria, made
him take down all the lining of the cabin,. and break open my
trunks, Ste. he there found a few dcllare, and after drinking some
time, be'left the Vittoria, and came on board his own schooner.
“ About midnight he called for one of the primers; my 8:-
eond Matt; was going on deck, when he was stopped by the sets-
tinel, and ordered-to keep below. At this time we heardagtelt
noitc upon deck for a few moments, but in a short time all was
again silent. When the morning came, they agreed to give us
the industry, but not a 'single thing. only as we stood: to you
may suppose in what a deplorable state lam at present. I can
only add by thanking the Auuouer that I am spared with my
life ; for if the chief robber had not been killed (which was the
noise I have already alluded to) that night, which we did not
know of until we were all on board the Industry, he had
made a vow when he left the Vittoria that the moment he got on
board the schooner he would have my life, and was only stopped
by one of his own people murdering him; and he was thrown
overboard very quietly for fear we should know it. The can»
mandolthevessel thenfell to this Englishman, whowould not
so much as allow me a change of clothes, but told me I might
thihbnsyself well 06' that my life was spared. We 6008 fell in
with the Blackett, which hasbrought me safe here.” .
