. .
• Miss Oggiuti. last night sustained, for the second
time, the character of firs. Beverley, in the tragedy of
'7 he Gamester, and asserted her just right to even
greater commendations than those which bet pre-
ceding performance elicited. Her early scenes were
• beautifully descriptive of a love, unruffled amidst the
storm of adversity. The interview, in which sssJely
attack's her heart in the only vulnerable point, when
he endeavours to pour the poison of jealousy into her
'bosem, was replete with impassioned feeling, and
marked with true dignity. The exclamation. _after
Siukety speaks of Beverley's mistress--et He hai
ao
aiiiirm—or, it he has, why is it told to me t" was delif
vered with a variation of tone, of gesture, and of at:
titude, that found its way to every heart. That part
'in which, Beverley having called on her to curse him,
she sinks-on Ler knees, and implores blessings en his
head, was truly affecting. The Tragedy concludes
'.With; the fall of Beverley. Here Miss O'Neiti.'s ta-
'' leans were strikingly conspicuous. The mute honor
• with which she viewed Beverley's body—still keeping
'er eyes rivetted on it, as she is led off the stage—and
ttili.nhortible hysterical laugh, with which she quitted'
' it-gave far more evidence of a heart bursting aid},
grief. than words could have done, however beauti-
. fully written. Her performance was received with,
'rapturous applause. Mr. Youso performed the part
of Beverley in a very excellent style. Mr. Tiutafsi
▪ gamely was much better than on the tdrmer r, presets.'
utiou of the ttagedy. He discarded much of the
`.:harshness before complained of, and threw into the
character a due proportion of -subtlety and insinult-
* 'ion. particularly in his *ally scenes with Mrs.
'Beverley and her .sister. Mr. htonsor played the part

PRESTON, 158011618 RR 13,—The river Ribble came
.but yesterday morning to ad alarming extent, cover-
ing the whole of the low grounds, and rendering the
roadte, Liverpool, impassable ; it is upwards of 20
years since it was so high. Two men on horseback
attempting to reach the other side from the Liverpool
road, after haying gained the Bridge, were lost. The
men screamed and called for assistance, but no help
could: be given them. One of the horses would have
escaped,_ but the other dragged it into the current,
and all disappeared. The bodies have not been found.
one of the men was .a native of Carlisle, unmarried,
and servant to Mr. I.' Dickinson, Preston ; the other
unknown. This morning the river has fallen consi-
derably ; but still only those in cam and on horse-
back can reach the bridge.
NEWCASTLE. Deceuss
at 20.—1 t is impossible to
enumerate the damage that has been done in this
town and neighbourhood. Several houses have been
totally destroyed, others unroofed and otherwise much'
damaged (the occupiers, in some instances, narrowly
escaping with their lives)—a large portion of the pa-
rapet Hall which surrounds the roof of AU Siiints
fell with a dreadful crash into Silver-street, and a
window of the same church was totally blown out.—
Much damage has also been done to the windows of
St. Nicholas Church, and a window of Hanover-
square Chapel is also destroyed—a great part of Jar-
row Church is unroofed—several trees have been torn
up by the roots, stacks blown down, keels and boats
sunk in the river, &c. In short, the destruction has
been so wide spread and multifarious, that the,consel
quences of this visitation will be long and severely
felt by many of the unfortunate sufferers. A garden
wall on the back of Villiers'-street, BishoCwearnsouth,,
was blown down by the gale, and Mr.. George cane-
ron, master mason, who was passing at that Moms iii,l
was killed on the spot. .
Yoaestene.—Friday last a most extraprdiaary bpr-
ricane took' place in the East Riding.af Yorkshire.'
particularly in the Wolds. The oldest person now,
living there does not remember any thing similar to
it. It arose about ten o'clock instil, morning. and
continued, with increasing violence,.till about six in
the afternoon. Not a village or farm house over the
whole Wold country but carries marks of its devas-
tation. Whole houses untiled—stacks of corn blown
-down to the ground—and a large newly built barn
was overtlaroaen : fortunately a man who wee thresh-
in corn in it had time to run out before it fell. Co.
load THORNTON'S once beautiful place, called " Fal-
' conies Hall," had,a number of the chimnies, and
' other parts of the buildings, entirely blown down;—
! and as the houses &c. is now in a deserted state, from
no one living there, it may be expected shortly to be-
come a ruin. In Major Toriteat's plantations at
1 " Wold Cottage," a number of large trees . were
broken short off in the middle, and carried to a great
, distance. The cottages in almost every village were
unroofed, and the beds of the unfortunate inhabitants
left exposed to the elements. A large vessel lying off
the Pier at Scarborough, was sunk by the vi slence of
the tempest, but, fortunately, no lives were Inst.
Limetticat, DECENInEtt 17.—Yesterday morning we
had the experience of the most violent storm within
the memory of the oldest inhabitant of this•city. It
commenced about four o'clock A. M. blowing from
the west, and raising the tide to a height, perhaps,
never before witnessed in Limerick. Many chimnies
and houses fell in the Old Town. A new home, ad-
joining the Presbyterian meeting-house, just finished,
came to the ground, and several chimers were blown
down in the New Town. The intervention of Pno-
vieerece was remarkably dispensed to a child of five
'years of age in the house of Mr. A. Bodkin, of
Bridge-street; the stack of chimnies fell, carrying in
their descent the greater part of the intervening
'floors into the shop, :.nil precipitating in-their fall the
Pdhild, who remained totally unhurt, though the bed-
stead in which she lay was literally shivered to
Aorns. Part of the roof of Creagh-lane chapel was
*reed in by the falling of an adjoining chimney.—
We have not as yet beard of any lives lost—certainly
'She actounts from sea will be melancholy. We have
ateceived the melancholy accovnt of the loss of a
Glin beat, belonging to Mr. Hallinan, which was
loaded with butter—two boatmen, with four passen-
gets, perished, '
Duman, Dec. 17.—Yesterdav morning during the
violent south-west gale, which was perhaps as tempes-
fuous as ever occurred in Dublin, several accidents
'happened. All the back part of Mr. Campbell'shouse
'ln Yerk-street, fell, by which three of his doenettics-
were killed. A stack of Chintnies in Kearn's hotel,
Sackvilliostreet, tumbling upon the roof, was forced
through every floor to the very kitchen, and many
hair-breadth escapes occurred—amongst the rest Ma-
t jor O'Shea, who was preserved almost by. a miracle;
having only just time to spring out of bed, and sustain,
himself on a piece of the broken floor until a ladder
was procured. By this melancholy accident poor
Ream is ruined. A stack of chimnies fell in Mr.
Murphy's, gun-maker, Britain-street, and did great
'damage, nearly destroying all the front rooms, but
fortunately no lives were lost. A similar accident'
happened at Mr. Lyons's, Dorset-street ; also at Me.
Cole's, Lower Ormond-quay, and we fear at many
other houses. The parapet wall of Mr. Murphy's
house in Fleet•strcet, near Messrs. Gouldings, fell into
the street, but providentially no one was pasting at the
time. Innumerable othei accidents of a minor de-
scription took place in all quarters of the city, such as
houses unroofed, skylights demolished, scaffolds pro-
strated, and sheds thrown down. We tremble to think
of the disasters that must have occurred in the Bay—
reports are already ineirculation of many distressing
shipping events, but we only hope they may be exag-
gerated. In the outlets too, we fear the effects of the
storm were as' dreadful as in the city. The lamp-posts
leading to the suburbs were, generally blown down,
and particularly near Bag got-street, where scarcely
one remains standing.. A firenecurred at Mr. Dom-
ville's, in Sitpdyntount, which, (hiring the dreadful

RIOTS AT THEtaWILIN THEATRE.
•

Dusuw, Ducearsuk 17.. A scene of disorder
tumult. took place at sbe Theatre last night, almost as
unparalleled as the, tempest of, the morning. 771 e
Forest q*.Bond, or 77iebo4 of Viamtargis, wki the Ater-
piece whichlad been given out for representation,
'but in consequence If some misunderstanding- be-
tween the tkitentee arid the pcopaietor of the canine
performer in the piece as to the terms on which the
services of The dog were to be had, the afterpiece did
' not ge forward, and The Miler ei;dhir Mee, 'a piece of
the same class, was substituted. The *audience, it
seems, had not been sufficiently apprised. of the
change, and would not submit to the dipppoinurtept,
and expressed their disapprobation in very loud terms,
and at last so strongly as completely to Obstruct the
performance of the adopted Melo Drama. Some of
the performers came forward to address the audience
while the afterpiece was in progress, bat they were
not listened to—they were obliged to retire, and their
appearance became at length a matter of some peril,
'as they were assailed with every missile thing that the
gallery, and ultimately the pit, could seize upon. The
Stage Manager; Mr. ROCK, then cattle lorward,avith
an aspect of great apprehension, and he shared the
fate of aithers who had attempted to obtain attention.
After several efforts to go through with the Piece;
without a chance of success, the curtain dropped ;
and from that time until flu H iiiie•vtas cleared by
the interposition of the Sheriffk---acconspanied by I
constablet and military—every mischief that could be
accomplished was inflicted on the property, by tear-
ing.upthe seats of the gallery, and throwing them at
the hams, which were, with very little exception,
broken to pieces ; and, on the stage, and into the or.
ehestra, which, however, escaped with much less in-
jury than might have been expected. Pieces of tim.
-ber were also flung at the performers, and in different
directions. It was a command night, and the Lord
Lieutenant, arid the Duchess of Doeser, with their
'suite, were in the Theatre. Notwithstanding the
presence of these exalted personages, the clamour. to
reject the substituted alterpiece prevailed, without
.any diminution, and his Excellency, and her Grace,
afteeno small exercise of patience, quitted the Thea-
tre; and the most tuntultuous part of the scene oc-
curred after their departiire—a large reflecting glass,
forming a pannel of the. Viceregal box, was broken
by something thrown from the pit or gallery. The,
house, after continuing for upwards of two hours in a
state of great tumult, was not finally cleared till oat
o'clock in the morning.—On the whole, the injurr
done during this turbulent.ebullitien of resentmenQ
was to a very serious extent.—Some persons were'
taken into custody by the Sheriffs, against whom it
was alleged that they bad been engaged in the com-
mission of mischief.

•
Bow-scatter--Yesterday, C. Weller, the Guard to
the Swansea Mail, underwent another examination,
charged with robbing the mail of rt parcel, containing
Bank note and hills to the amount of between 2 and
,e3OOO. Mr. Nicholll4 dentist, of Fleet-street, prove 4
that tour Chepstow.Bank notes fir E 5 each, and one
E 5 Monmouth Bank note, part of the notes wh,chii
were in the stolen parcel, directed to Messrs. Dh
Thornton and Co. Bankers, in London, had passed
throrigh his hands, and that he had received them of
Mr. Crouch, of Charles-street, Kent-road, who told
him he had received them of a Mr. Butler, who, he
understood, brought them from Paris. .The prisoner
was committed for further examination.
B. Paskinr, late footman to H. Dower, Esq. of
Canterbury, was charged with stealing a large q uan
city of wearing apparel, belonging to his master, and
also the livery which he wore, with which he ab-
sconded on Friday night, pan of which he sold in
Canterbury, and the remainder was found in his pos-
session in London, when the officer apprehended him.
He was committed for trial. •
MARLBOROUGH•STItaWro...J. BithOfte a cobler, at 21,
King,street, Soho, was charged with publishing some
libelous poetry, tending to vilify the character of a
Printer in Rupert-street, St. James's. The prisoner
wat proved to have disposed of six copies, and as no
printer's name was affixed; he was fined in the miti-
gated penalty of £5 each. In default of payment,
the punishment is from three to six' months' impri-
sonment.
Roland was charged with having defrauded
divers tradespeople. The prisoner, who was metamor-
phosed from a paviones labourer to a fine Gentleman,
was accompanied in his depredatory career by two fe-
males, calling themselves Lady and Miss Page. The
Lars drove about in a carriage, accompanied by the
prisoner on horseback. He took different apartment*,
when goods of every deacriptioti were conveyed, and
afterwards removed. He was remanded.
MANSiON House.--Yesterday a person named
Price was examined on suspicion of having been at
the resurredien of the dead, in a neighbouring church-
yard, in Aldermanbory. The prisoner was stopped
by a constable, at a late hour on the preceding even-
ing, in company with 'a feinale, who was giving some
directions about etlie disposal of a subject which he had
in his possession. On investigating the case before
the Lorin MAYOR, it appeared that the prisoner had
not actually been violating " the mansions of the
dead ;" for, in truth, be had been to one of the public
hospitals, from which he was conveying the uncon-
scious defunct on his shoulder, by desire of one of
the surgeons, to the residence of the latter, with a
view to future private operations. The surgeon at-
tended, and verified-the truth of the. prisoner's story ;
in consequence of which he was discharged.
Urrion-Ham.—Yesterday M. Clark J. Rogyky,
and J. Coulter, were brongbt up on suspicion of divers
robberies; they lived in a secluded part of Lambeth,
where the Officers got into the house early on Sunday
morning, and apprehended them in, bed ; they found
under the bed of Rowley, some trunks, one of which
is directed to a " Mrs. Hamerton, passenger," seve-
ral silk Ikandkeicbicia. and a number of duplicates
from mrnbioken.. They were all remanded for re-
examination.
