ADDRESSES TO THE LORD LIEUTENANT.
The Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Aldermen, and Common Council of
this City, went in state, preceded by the various civic officers and
a full hand, to the Castle this day, with the Address voted by this
respectable body of our fellow citizens to the Marquis of AN-
ettnr. They were received with the greatest cordiality by his
Excellency; and their Address, which was read by Mr. Deputy
Recorder, was most graciously replied to. His Excellency, in his
reply, adverted to the trade and manufactures of the country.
The College Address was presented shortly afterwards. The
muster of the Collegiate body was numerous; indeed the cortege,
who accompanied the Archbishop of Dublin, the Provost and
Fellows, could not be less than three hundred. _ _ _

The Address was in Latin, and was read by Doctor C. NV-
WALT., the Senior Lecturer ; and the answer of his Excellency was
most flattering to this eminent body.

The morning of Thursday se'rmigbt, the brigantine George, of
Bideford, RICIIARDS Master, from Bristol. in running for Swansea
harbour, mistook a light on shore for the one on the pier, previous
to the latter being exhibited ; and before those on board discovered
their perilous situation, the vessel struck. The gale still continu-
ing to increase, and :he sea running very high, the crew were
obliged to take to the rigging, where they remained above two
hours, with the sea breaking over them. No assistance could be
afforded the poor fellows until the tide ebbed, when they were re-
lieved in a very exhausted state. The vessel is unfortunately
wrecked, but hopes are entertained that the materials will be saved
It is with pain we are compelled to notices disgraceful scene which
ensued. Seven or eight fellows (we will not denominate them sea-

men), who had offered their assistance to save the materials and
other property, contrived to get into their possession a jar of whis-
key, of which they drank so freely u to be totally Incapable of
rendering the least assistance, and two of them were in such a
shocking state of drunkenness, that they were obliged to be hauled
up from the hold by ropes. In this beastly state they were carried
on ladders to their respective homes, where they became so alirm-
ingly ill that medical advice was deemed necessary, and to save
the fellows' lives, the Gentlemen who attended were obliged to
eject the liquor they had drank by means of the stomach pump.

THEATRES.

DRURY•LANF

A new Tragedy, called Don Pedro, was last night
produced at this Theatre from the pen of Lord NEI-
CHESTER. The following is an outline of the story :
A French Princes,, Blanche of Bourbon (Miss E. Tare), bad
plighted her troth to ins.Heary (Mr. Macaarav), brother to the
King of Spain. Dees Pedro himself, however (Mt. Coconut), obtained
her hand from her father, and she became an unwilling Queen.
The cruelties of Don Pedro incite his subjects to rebel. Henry
leads the insurgent bands. The suspicions of the King are
aroused. He fears that his Queen still cherishes her early love
for Henry, and he is confirmed in his suspicions by his mis-
st sssss Maria Padilla (Mrs. W. Wass), who induces him to
give orders for the murder of Blanche. In the mean time the rebel
troops advance. Don Pedro marches to meet them—his forces are
defeated, and be himself falls by the hand of his brother, who is
immediately proclaimed King. Maria, the leading feature of whose
character is ambition, heating of the new King's approach, drinks
of the same poison which, by her order, has been previously ad-
ministered to Blanche. She con!esses her share in the murder of
the Queen, and dies in the King's presence. Blanche enters, em-
braces Da; Henry, and dies in his arms. Here the tragic scene closes.
The scene which called forth the loudest plaud is
from the audience, was that in which Henry contrives
to procure admission to the Queen in the disguise of a
monk, and draws from her an avowal of her continued
regard. This was sustained with much effect both on the
pan of Miss TREE and Mr. MACREADY. Mrs. WEST
played the character of Maria with dignity and force,
and WALLACE, as the vengeful Jew, Alban, was fie-
quently applauded. The piece was received throughout
with mingled applause and disapprobation, and Mr.
WALLAcic was about to announce its repitition, but was
obliged to retire without being heard.
