ORATORIO.

COVENT-GARDEN.

There was, last night, at this Theatre, a grand per-,
romance of Ancient and Modern Music. The Selec-
tion did honour to the taste of Mr. Bishop. In Part
the first was introduced the novelty of the evening—an
Offertorium, by Eybler of Vienna ; after which. Mo: i
perfumed some variations Upon the violin (Nlayseder)
with wonderful brilliancy of execution. The second
Rot was taken entirely from the " Creatim" •of
Handel. In it we were pat titularly pleased with the air
by Mi,s Pawn, u With verdure clad." In Part 111.
there was the nretture to La Gamut Ladra. and some

of our simple but beaut;ful National Melodies. Of these,
the first in merit, as in place, was Satesansen
Miss Paton snug it without accompaniment, and with
the old words, " mairird to the simple air." The song
was rapturously and deservedly encored. Miss Paton
sung it with great feeling, and did not attempt to de-
face its simple beauty with " foreign ornament." Mr.
Fraham was, as usual, encored in " Blue Bonnets:—
Madame Cornega gave the Aria, 44 Unayoce poco fa,"
In bet usud excellent style. Miss Love and Miss Grad-
Coo were both'in excellent voice, and severally encored
in .. Buy a Broom;" and " Follow me." The whole con.;
eluded with the Gipsy Chorus, from Guy Mannering.

The Morning Herald, alluding to these distinguished
parties, says...." As Mr. BacycnAsa was busily engaged
in writing, at Bstooxts's, on Sunday morning, tie ss
suddenly interrupted by Mr. RAIRRS, who addressed
Mr. Baot+oHA►t nearly es follows:—' At the trial the
other day, you thought proper to travel out of the
record, for the pui pose of abusing and ridiculing m :
from this time yon are to understand, that our ac-
quaintance ceases, and you are further to understand,
in thus achhesling you, I intend to insult you, and
hope that you will therefore consider what I have said
as an insult.' Upon this Mr.ittiouctra al observed, that
the place and occasion were very extraordinary in which
Mr.ltaix es hadphosen to insult him; when Mr. It. with-
out making any reply, left the room, and rather uncere-
moniously banged the door on the Learned Gentleman.
This extraordinary conduct on the part of Air.
RAttaa has given great offence to the members of
Brookes's Club ; and the first impulse was immediately
to expel the offender. After some discussion, however,
it was determined to call a Meeting of the Members,
and yesterday afternoon there was a very full attend-
ance; Lnrd FITZWILLIAM in the Chair; the result of
their deliberation will appear by the following statement
entered upon the records of the Club House:

" Brookes's, 31arch 7. 1827.

" The requisition to the Managers basing been read, and a .
meet made by several Members present in the Club-room, on
Sunday the 4th instant, of the circumstances that these took place,
Sir John Newport said, that be had hoped some explanation
would have been offered on the part. of Mr. !Likes. Mr..Gre-
•iile then declared that he came on the part of Mr. Raikes,
and that he was authorized to say, that he was then in the
house, and ready, if required by the club, to enter into an ex-
planation of the circumstances which led to what passed; but
that, feeling it was a matter of primula' consideration, be did
not wish to intrude it on their attention, unksa it was desired--that
he admitted that Brookes's Club was not a proper place for such an
expression of feeling, but that it took place there by accident, as it
happened to be the first place at which Mr. Raikes met Mr.
Brougham—that he considered every apology due to the Club, and
that Mr. Greedle was commissioned by %lr. !bikes to offer this
aff"6oly.

" Resolved—That this Meeting accepts the apology now made
to the Club on the part of Mr. Raikes.

LOSS OF THE SMACK COMET OF LEITH, &c.
MARCH 5.
Tuesday. the smack Comet, RICHAIDII, belonging to the Lopdon
and Edinburgh Shipping Company, of Leith, was lest on her pas-
sage from London, in consequence of haling struck on a sunken
wreck, on the outside of Yarmouth sands. The accident hap.
pened abort two o'clock in the morning ; and the damage received
by the shock was such, that the eruct sunk in deep water in little
i more thin ten minutes. Happily the crew and three passengers, a
Gentleman apd two Ladies, got safe into the long-boat before the
smack went down, which she did a few minutes after they bad
left her. The three passengers made a narrow escape • the two
Ladles being asleep in the cabin at the time of the accident, and
through the exertions of some of the crew were wrapped in
blankets, and hurried upon deck in their bed clothes, when the
water was up to the cabin table. _

The Gentleman passenger, a Mr. Downs, escaped a still
more imminent danger, having fallen into the sea wink passing
from the teasel to the boat. He was, however, fortunately picked
up by the crew; but in 'this uncomfortable condition the whole
company remained in the long boat till 6i: o'clock in the mocking,
when they got onboard the floating light anchored on Newarp sand,
off Yarmouth, after being tossed about for four hours in a boisterous
sea, which every minute threatened to engulph them, as It had
dune their ill-fated vessel. In the course of Tuesday they were all
safely landed at Yarmouth.. The cargo of the Comet is understood
to be of considerable value; and very little of it is said to be insured.
All the losses which have occurred of London and,Lekh smacks,
within 'the last stateen years, have been very nearly as the same
spot, and in every cam they have sunk in deep water; thus-afford.'
ing strong presumption that the statements of their mews, as to
the accidents happening on sunken wrecks, Instead of on the sand.
banks, are correct. Indeed, in the case of the Delight, which was
lost last year, the breach which was made in her huU was near the
surface of the water, and evidently made by the mast or bowsprit
of a sunken vessel. It is to be regretted that some plan has not
yet been devised, by which those wrecks can be successfully raised.

Till WIATHIR.

Early on Saturday, tbe attuospbere appeared completely loaded;
and about 10 o'clock the snow began to descend in large flakes. and
so thickly as lavender it impossible to discern ohjetteat tee shortest
distance. This continued daring the temakider of the daj. rob.
taieetely, however, there was almost no wind till a late hour, and
the London mail arrived little more than half an hose beyond the
stated time. But about eleven . Vat. it came on to blow from the
Bast. the snow continuing to fall, and thrtnighout the
whole of the night we had the same weather, with 'little
variation. Towardethe afternoon of yesterday the anew ceased
to fall, and a hard frost set in at • night. The consequeace
has been the complete blocking up of the roads in all directious; no
mail having arrived at our Poet Office from any quarter from
Saturday night, at twelve o'clock, when the York London mail
reached, three hours beyond its usual time, tilt three o'clock this
morning, when the north mail, due 18 bouts before, reached the
Post Office in a hackney coach.
The guard of the Loudon and F.dinburgh vans came in yesterday
afterntron, with the bills, and reported that the East Road to tom-
pletelrbisiekedrug. Th. Onion coach was stopped an illeenrdet
night, within a mile of Tranent, and some passengers (two Gentle-
men, a Lady and child) remained in the coach all night, and were
got out with difficulty about noon yesterday, at which time the
mall from Edinburgh arrived on horseback at Tranent, baying been
led across the Seidl by some faros servants, and It was then doubtful
if they would be able to get on to Haddingten.
The snow lies in our streets to the depth of from one to three
feet. The average depth we should OupPose to be about eighteen
inches. On Saturday, at five o'clock, before there was any wind
to drift it, the depth was measured at 'thirteen inches.. So great a
quantity has not fallen in so short a peeled since the month of Fe-
bruary, 1799, when, as in the present case, the snow also commenced
On a Saturday; and in the month of June, much of it, which had

The patent iMperreeki staysails, invented by Rear
Admiral Sir Huse Hueneme, have met with entire and lingua.
lifird approbation on board two of his Majesty's frigates, two re-
gular East ludiamen, three West Indiamen, one free trader to
India, and pee South Sea whaler, in the prosecution of their re-
spective voyages out and home ; during the whole of which they
were set, whenever the weather was sufficiently moderate. The
reports of the Captains of these Ships unequivocally declare the new
sails to possess all the qualities the Patentee's theory ascribes to
them. Amongst the superloritiet specifically attributed to them by,
the Captains above alluded to, in comparison of four-sided staysails,
It may however be well to enumerate the most important, viz.—
" They are much more propelling; much less pressing in a lateral
direction; free from injurious obstruction of wind from the square
Mils before theni, and irons eddy wind against those abaft them ;
very serviceable, on aU points of sailing, on which staysails will
drew, but more particularly when close•haakd; may be carried
With the greatest safety, from being on the jib principle, and from
Ake more vertical direction of the principal stays whereon they are
est, which latter circumstance occasions their throwing less strain
'on the topmasts, and so materially facilitates the taking them in,
that hardly any force is warner/ to haul them down, and when
down they are secure; they are easier worked, handsomer, and
stow neater. The maser of leading the stays, as before mentioned,
also affords additiocalsecurity to the upper masts, aud courributes
to uniformity of appearance.. As respects the comparison of the
'new sails with all the different kinds of triangular sails hitherto
occasionally used between the masts, the new ones are more pro.
Felling, in the very great proportion, that the more vertical direc-
tion of their stays improves their action, and admits of throwing
mere canvas into them than into any of the ethers; whereof, those
whose feet are horizaotal, are so small, as to be altogether income.
creedal; and the others, though containing from two-thirds to
three-fifths of the quantity of canvas in the new sails, are worse
than inconsequential. on.account of their much m..re lateral im-
pulsion. The patent staysails have the same advaptiges over all the
I old triangular ones as over those which are quadrilateral, with re-
spect to the security .of the masts and facility of stowage. *flame
facts, which are incontrovertibly proved both in theory and practice,
the Patentee relies en as a substantial basis for the universal thouy,:i
gradual adoption of his system. But the fact best calculated to cm-
Ivince the public, that although under particular circumstances the
patent staysails may for a time be dispensed with, they are, never-
the's.. essential to the perfection of naval equipment ; it being
ascertained, on the meet respectable authority, that " The Arm-
rican Navy, after trying them in the United States frigate Braid,-
Wine, have, by order of their Cutuntissioners, generally adopted
them ; and that from that eircumstmee, they are established in all
the frigates built at Philadelphia and New York for the Brazilian,
Colombian, and Grecian Governments. They are not as yet adopted
in the British Navy ; but the two Captains of his Majesty's frigates
who have made trial of them, have, in their official reports, recoils-
mended :hem, s as possessing every advantage over the prc.ent
crtablislantents*

BENEFIT OF YORKSHIRE ROBINSON.
The late brave bin unfortunate opponent of Young Gas, took his
benefit yesterday at the Tennis Court, and received, as he deserved,
a marked encouragement. The Court was crowded with smatimum
of respectability, aid the higheit satisfaction was expressed at the
sports. Among the exhibitors were Lennox and Clarke, Ike Dodd
and Pam, Murphy, sm. and the Basted Baker, Murphy, Om mid
Demine,Gainor and Hult, the latter of whom was severely
Scniggles and Dick Ayres, Young Dutch Samand Cachet:a:2lli
a wied.op, Tom Spring and Robinson. The latter was the most
finished !specimen of first-rate science wets ire ever witnessed. The •
stopping was beautiful, and the general style of assault and defence
such as to glee a perfect notion of the advantages of the Yea ieg Art.
Spring was well received, and appears to be in excellrat harath
and spirits. There is sonic notion of his intending again to pitch
his tent among his old friends.
At the conclusion of the performance Robinson rune forward,
and expressed his sincere gratitude for the very handiness meaner
in which he had beets received; he wanted words tit express his
feelings; bet be heped, on every occasion Where he might be called
into the Ring, he would chew that his actions were as sincere as
his professions. In taking his leave, he begged to announce that he
should be ready, on Monday night, to make a match with Yeas(
Gas for 2001. a.side, and would be at Tom Cribb's for that purpese.
' Rubinson said that he had announced, that Big Brown would be
present; he tegrerted.this promise had not been performed; but
the fact was, that Brown was coining up to take a benefit hisneelf.
and it might be desirable that his appearance should be refereed
for that speculation. There was a general cry that Brown was not
entitled to a benelit,and thus the besioess of the day was concluded.
