Extract of a letter from a seaman to his f ober, at Drogheda,

mained on the rocks until the return of daylight, when the Mate
and seven of the crew landed safe on the shore of Abico ; but
the sea ran so high we could not return to the wreck ; we made
two attempts, but to no effect, the Captain and six men still re-
attaining on the wreck. About two p.m. six men made their
escape on a raft, and reached the shore, where we all remained
tall Monday morning, the 2d of October, when two of the crew
started to look for some inhabitants. At ten a.m. three men

Trovisions. Tuesday, the 3d, commenced with light breezes and

The two Theitre3 Royal; as is customary it 'this
festive season, each prnduced a new Comic Panto:'
mime last night, for the amusement and edification
of their Christmas visitants, young and old.
DMURY-LANE.—After the Tragedy of Jane Shore,
in, which Mr. WALLAcx played the part of Gloster,
a new Comic Pantomimic Piece, under the title of
The North West Passage ; or, Harlequin Esquimattt,
was produced at this Theatre. The popular subject
from which the banding derived.its title claimed for
it a favourable greeting on its first appearance, and
the three or four first scenes argued well of its ultia
mate success. In these the field of action'is laid on
the spot where our brave and hardy tars have so re-'
cently been encountering danger with undaunted
'spirit, namely, the frozen regions of the North.
The scenery of this portion of the piece consisted
of a representation of the Frozen Sea, with the Dis•
covery Ships at anchor; the northern phenotnenon
of the crimson snow, with a view of the Prince
Regent's Straits, and the Hecla at anchor, was beau-
tifully executed, and highly applauded, and the in•
terest of the Piece was well kept up ; but here the

~..

Sovereign of the Deep and the Geiius of the North,
having each exerted his power in the protection of
their favourite, and transformed a young Esquimana
couple into Harlequin and Columbine, and raised up
their opponents, Pantaloon and Clown, the Halley
quinade commenced, and all relation or connection
with the North West Passage was lost. The Clown
pilfered as adroitly, Harlequin jumped with his usual
activity, Columbine danced as gracefully, and Pan-.
faloon tumbled, rolled, and limped with as much
agility as displayed by any of those celebrated cha-
racters on any former occasion. The changes and:
transformations of men and things attempted were
even more numerous than usual. Some of the tricks
and changes were very good ; and the Pantomime
Was received favourably throughout, and givenl
out for ,this evening amidst loud Cheering. The
House was exceedingly crowded. •
Cover-GAstneN.—The Play of Wallace was fol-
lowed at this House list night by a new Pantomime,
founded on the well-known legend of Friar Bacon,
and called Harlequin and Friar Bacon; or the Brazen
Head.. The story of the Pantomime is made up of
the contest between Friar Bacon and his rival, Van-
dernzast, the German Necromancer. It opens with
an attempt, on the part of Vandermast,.to steal the
celebrated Brazen Head. Vanderneast is foiled by
'the superior power of Bacon, who, negligent himself
of watching his treasure, suffers it to be broken;
and the Spirit of the Head, as a punishment for his
neglect, deprives him of his magic power, and con-
fers it, with the character of harlequin, on a fa-
voured individual. The other characters of the Pan-
tomime, consisting of Columbine, Pantaloon, Cloven,
and Lover, are also created by the power of the
Spirit of the Head and the Sorcerer Vandermast.—
The Pantomime, or rather Harlequinade, then com-
mences, and the usual contest between the motley
hero and his enemies follows ; and terminates also, as
usual, in the discomfiture of vice and folly, and the
reward of virtue. The scenery of this Piece is beau-
tiful, and extremely well executed, especially the
retreat of Friar Baton, the Palace of the Senses, a
view of Llangollen, in North Wales, a view of Dub-
lin, and the concluding scene, the Temple of the
Brazen Head. Several of the changes are also good,
amongst which we remarked the change from alarge
Gothic hall to the Temple of the Senses, a bathing-
machine to a safety-coach, a large packing case to a
post-chaise, which, by the ingenuity of the Clown, is
made to move rapidly by steam, until the boiler (tea-
kettle) being
i overcharged, bursts, and the whole ma-
chine, with its contents, the Clown, Pantaloon, and.
exquisite lover of Columbine, is blown up. The Har-
Sequin Of ELLAN the Columbine of Miss E. DENNETT,
BARNES'S Pantaloon, and Gni ALpis Clovn, were
excellent, as usual. Young GRIMALDI was the Dandy
Lover, and gave an excellent-picture of an exquisite.
He was much applauded, and gave a woof that he
possesses- a considerable share of his father's peculiar
talent. The Piece was, on the whole, well received
by a very crowded House.
In the year 17b3, a Pantomime, under the title of
Fs tar Bacon, was produced at Covent-Garden Thea-
tre; but the one now given it the same House, is
founded upon a different part of the story of that
celebrated necromancer of " Days of Yore."
ENGLISH OPERA-MDSE.—SOIREES A MITSANTI
The Entertainments produced at the Lyceum last
night, were exhibited under the license of the Maga-
trates, and comprised three parts; the first of which
was a little Non-dramatic Piece, displayed by sha-
dows, the starting of a coach frdm the Golden Cross,
the journey, with the remarks of the passengers. To
this succeeded A Trial, or cause heard before the
Magistrate of Tidlingtoff—Footlight, the Manager
of the Theatre Rural, versus Punch's Puppet Shew:
A succession of Glees and Songs followed, by Messrs:-
BROADHURST, KENT, J. SMITH, GOULDEN,
PfItL-
LIPS, HUMAN, Miss I. STEVENSON, and Miss.Geoacre.
After which, a sort of Lecture on Living Heads, in
which the celebrated Doctor Faustus visits London,
and is introduced by his familiar Mephostopholis into
a laboratory at midnight, where appear, in various
large bottles, the heads of Lady Midnight, Don Gio-
vanni, and several other ludicrous characters, one of
which, as a Manager of a Theatre, gave some good
imitations of FAWCETT and FARREN, BLANCHARD
and EMERY, &c. The Piece closes by the Devil's re-
quiring Faustus's presence. The third Part, under
the title of Living Drollery, introduced a petite Piece
in verse, under the title of Guy Fawkes. In this the.
characters are sustained by children, who were re-
markably effective. The dialogue, however, was car-.
ried on by invisible Childress of a larger groteth.—
These Entertainments will, no doubt, .attract all ju-
venile Play-goers.----His Royal Highness the Duke of
SUSSEX, with a large party, and a number: of distin-
guished persons, were among the audience, which
was very fashionable and numerous. Considering, in-
deed, how recently this Entertainment has been arl,
*raised, the House was throughout uncommonly full.

.Guildford .was
Etinvened by. the MAIO*, and held in the Council
Chamber that toWn, on Wednesday, (Or die per:
pose of presenting a Loyal Addriss to his Maikerv.!
The Meeting was most muneroul 4ncl respectable,;
anif.the Matron (W: &wit." &q.) having taken,
the Chair, t.e Toten Clerk kad the Reqpisitipo; to
which was added the Appointuiritt or the Meeting
by the Maxon, " for the purpose of signing the Ad:
dress," which followed, and which was brought to
the Meeting already engrossed on skins, for mere sig-
natures.—The Address having been read by the k,
Mr. NIELETT rose, and observed, that this was a
momentous question, and upon such a question differ-
ences of opinion would prevail. On this occasion,
nine-tenths of the town did not go with the Address
( Cheers), and he considered it to be a libel upon
the greatest portion of his Majesty's subjects—
( Cheers ).—He, for one, would not yield to any
man in loyalty to the Sovereign and Constitution.
Me. Niblett then proceeded to comment on the most
offensive part of the Address. It was said a large
portion had embraced revolutionary principles.—" I
deny it,' said he, ee and I call on the Requisitionists
to point out one of them,"--
Mr. SHRUBS here rose, and saiel the passage did
not allude to persons in the town.
Mr. Nter.Ext continued.—lt was also stated, that
the Constitution had been attacked by a *wicked and
seditious Press. That Press, he contended, had been
the salvation of the Country, and without it the Con,
stitution would have been destroyed. Then it was
said that his Majesty and the sacred persons of the
Church are revile-1. By whom, he asked, had they
been reviled ? Had they not brought it upon them-
selves ? It was also said, the liberties of the country
were in danger. He was sorry to say it was so,
through the lolly of the People not coming forward
earlier to prevent their rights being fiittered away.
The Address contained. expressions of attachment
and fidelity, which he hoped they all possessed ; but
it would be also necessary to teach Ministers they
were to do their duty between the King and his
People—(Cheers).:--The Address declared, that it
had been attempted to undermine the Constittoo9 by
wicked persons. It was not by the PeOple that it: was
undermined, but by the Ministers._ Mr. Niblett pro-
ceeded to animadvert on other objectionable pas-'
sages* in the proposed Address. All were, he said,
willing to support the government in Church and
State ; hut Englishmen, though too apt to be led,
would not be driven out of their rights. He then pro-
ceeded to read an amended Address, when
The MAYOR rose, and stated, that the object of
the Meeting was only to sign the Address which had
been already prepared.
Mr. NIBLETT observed, thatit did not become any
nine or ten Gentlemen to prescribe an Address to as
many hundreds.
Mr. Alderman NBA LDS then rose, and proposed
that the amended Address be now read; on which
the MAYOR immediately-left the Chair, and, with
several of -the Requisitionists, after hastily signing
the original Address, walked out of the Council
Chamber, amidst great confusion, and tries of
" Shame!" &c. The rejected Address was almost
demolished in its passage out of the room.
A Gentleman called out, that the Address had
'been delivered at a dinner, to a County Magistrate,
by a person high in office.
Mr. Alderman NEALDS was now almost unani-
mously called to the Chair, amidst great applause ;
and the amended Address having been read,
Mr. &faun begged to explain the tircumstanee
of his having signed the Requisition. He had
thought it necessary for their ancient Borough to
address his Majesty. It had been usual for them to
have Addresses *prepared in the manner in which
the first Address had been produced—( Cries of
" Never, never !")—He considered it like the appoint-
ment of a Committee.
Mr. Ntatere bbserved, le it was a self-appointed
ComMittee• # ,
Mr. Ma arra (another Requisitionist) expressed
his sorrow that he was present at the commences
ment of the business ; and, alluding to an observa-
tion respecting the manner in which the Loyal Ad-
dress had beeu.obtained, he declared, that although
he was not personally acquainted with any cf his
Majesty's Ministers, yet he had thought it his duty
to step forward at the present crisis, and was ready
to.take on himself the blame that might attach to
any appearance of irregolaritys Goo forbid that
any man should put his band so the Address unless
his heart.went along with it l Lie (Mr. Martyr) felt
himself in ,'peculiar situation ;. he had just taken an
oath 'of allegiance to George IV. and pledged, him-
self to defend him against all foes--.(" SO we will
all, without an oath !" exclaimed many ).—The.Ad-
dress was, be thought, completely guarded against
anything that.rnight give offence-1A laugh).—He
did not find fault with any man's opinion, but begged
leave to have one of his own. He implored them
tohe united--(" We are, Vyou will burn the Address,"
ands laugh).—Let us rally round thesThrone, and
hold fast to our blessed Constitutioe—( Cheers).—
Let us adhere to the words of the wise man=-" My
son, fear the Loll% and the King, and meddle not
with those that are given to change." The Learned.
Gentleman then added—" We seem to beiretty well
agreed"—(Great laUghing).—lf there was anythipg
offensive in the original Address, 40 thought it might
have been omitted, and the iginaindei reserved.. .
Mr. R. taturtit said, they had been called toge-
ther to shew their loyalty ; in that town, he trusted
there was not a man who was pot loyal ; while he,
however, read the words, ee Fear GOD and honour
the King," he also reed, ," Husbands love your
wives, and be not bitter against them ;for what Clop
bath joined together let no man put asunder."—
' Therefore 'he would propose they should also cons
gratulab their Queen, upon her deliverance from the
basest and most rile conspiracy that ever stained the
page of history. Tney should be loyal to their Queen, I
as .well as their. King; and though -it had been said'
there was no need •to consult " petty rradesmen,7
yet he for one would lover be. deterred from speak-
ing his senfments.
The Rev. SSILIMAN avowed he had put his hand
to the original Address, and he claimed the same
freedom of npinioa he world allow to other*. He
