The following entry was made ou Saturday in the
books at Lloyd's:
" By a letter from Leghorn, of the 14th inst. we learn that
the Turkish ship, Cara Soliman, belonging to the Captain of the
port of Alexandria, ou her return from Leghorn, has been taken
off Cape Passaro and arrived at Idea, and converted into a fire-
ship. The Turks' were thrown into the sea, the Greeks alleging
that their countrymen ntsa the same fate at Constantinople. It
is stated that four other ships, belonging to the Pacha of Egypt,
hate Leen captured, and carried into Idea."

monies at that place.
The Marquis sif WATERFORD is recovering from
his late severe indisposition.
The Duke of BEDFORD is now in Scotland, where his
Grace is enjoying the amusement of grouse shooting.
Rtsto's TneaTae.—Saturday night the Italian
Opera terminated its labours, after a season of suc-
cess that has not been paralleled for many years past,
and which has clearly proved that liberality and
judgment in engaging and employing performers,
combined with a skilful management of details, will
never fail to meet with support from the classes which
frequent this fashionable temple of the Beaux Arts.
MOZART'S Figaro was chosen for the last evening
and it was charmingly performed. After which Gao
save Me King was chaunted by the whole corps, and
encored, but not without some little opposition. The
House was filled in an extraordinary manner, for so
advanced a period of the season, and the performance
went off with the greatest eclat.
COBURG THEATRE.—The new Grand Spectacle
still continues to attract tiumerous and fashionable
audiences nightly. Among the distinguished who
graced the boxes last week were,
Ills Highness the Prince of Saze.Melningen, the Portuguese
Ambassador, the Count and Countess St. Antonio, Dowager
Coolness of Glengall, Earl of Fife, Lord Milsinton, General
Mosbeim, Mrs. Fitcherbert, lion. Douglas Kinnai, Colonel
Frederick, Major Grey, Captain Fauquier,
VAUXHALL GARDENS.—This elegant and rural
place of fashionable resort on Friday night exhibited
a scene of magnificence and brillianty scarcely ex-
ceeded by the splendid fete given in honour of his
MAJESTY'S Birth-day. The propitious state of the
Weather, as well as the irresistible attraction of the
Gardens, drew together an assemblage of company
extremely numerous, and of the most respectable de-
scription. The fete being in honour of the Birth-day
of his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, the deco-
rations and devices were of an appropriate descrip-
tion. Around the facade, or covered promenade,
there was a series of military trophies and laurel
reaths, composed of variegated lamps ; in other
parts of the Gardens there were other additional
ornaments, and in the grand quadrangular area, in
rear of the orchestra, were the words "Long live the
Duke of York," in etters formed of gold-coloured
lamps. The music, both in the selection and the ar-
rangement of the parts, and in the performance, had
the most eminent merit. The approaching close of
the Gardens seems to be regarded with regret by all
parties, and there being only two nights which re-
main, namely, tl.is evening and Wednesday, for the
ajmis.ion of the Public to its selucing scenes of
nett' anJ splendour, we may easily predict h9w
- and unite; sal will be the attendance.
