Wynnstay, or the Principality, on his return.

ItcraescumesT.—Several whose interest, it was

MELANCHOLY Acme:qt.—About three o'clock on
Tuesday afternoon, Captain GARDINER, smack-owner,
of Harwich, with a patty of friends, set sail in a boat
to drink tea on board his vessel, lying at anchor in the
harbour : when about a quarter of a mile from the
shore, one of the women's bonnets was blown off, and
in gibing the boat in order to get it (the wind blowing
fresh), and the mainsheet fat on the contrary side,
the boat upset, by which .Ireadful accident the wife of
Captain GARDINER, his daughter, aged thirteen, an
apprentice, of the age of seventagn, and Mrs. _Macs
(who had a child in her arms about two years old),
were unfortunately drowned. The Captain, his son, a
youth of seven years of age, and an apprentice, to-
gether with another person, and Mrs. Micas's child,
were preserved from a watery grave by boats from
the shore, which went in every direction to render as-
sistance. This shocking event was witnessed by a
number of persons on the beach, who had seen the
party embark. The bodies only of Mrs. GARDINER
and Mrs. Mites have been picked up.
As the KING was stepping into his carriage on
leaving Dublin, a Gentleman, 4ddressing him in the
French language, wished him a good voyage and a
quick return among his Irish subjects, by whom he
is so much loved and venerated. His MAJESTY gra-
ciously made answer, in the same language in which
he was addressed, "Je revkndrai bientot set, et ce sera
won plus grand plaisir."
The following circumstance, which occurred at the
Stand House, during his MAJESTY'S visit to the Cur-
ragh, is highly expressive of the condescension of his
MAJESTY :—One of the attendants happened to go
into the room where the KING was, to look for his
Excellency Earl TALBOT'S hat, when he incautiously
took up that of the KING, and was going away with
lit, which his MAJESTY perceiving, in great good
(humour called out..-44 Stop, stop, my good friend,
that is my hat I"
Lord Noaauftv, paying his duty to his MAJESTY
M the late Levee, happened to slip, and fell on his
knee. • Ilis MAJESTY most condescendingly assisted
in raising him up, when the Noble Veteran humbly
thanked the KINo, adding, " This is the second time
your MAJESTY has been pleased to give me a lift."
ALDERMAN Dastute.—On Sunday evening, Lord
FINGAL, who, with some other distinguished persons,
was at the house of Mr. O'CoNNELL, received a mes-
sage from Mr. GRANT, acquainting him that he had
a communication to make on the part of the Govern-
ment. His Lordship lost no time in waiting on the
Chief Secretary, who apologised for sending for him
at so unseasonable an hour, by stating that it was
the wish of his MAJESTY, that what he had to im-
part should be made known to his Lordship, and
through him to the Catholic Body, before his MA-
JESTY S departure from Ireland, which was fixed
,for the following day. Mr. GRANT then proceeded
to state, that Lord Stniroucm, by the directions of
the KING, had sent for Alderman DA aunt, and made,
known his MAJESTY'S strong displeasure at that
Magistrate's conduct • at the late civic entertainment.
Lord Stomootn, he added, had inquired into the
character of Alderman DARLEY, and found that be-
fbre this transaction he way a meritorious officer: he
had learned, besides, that he had a large family,
and had expressed the strongest contrition for his
offence. These considerations had induced his MA•
JESTY to abstain, for the present, from mapking his
displeasure in the most exemplary way, and to con-
fine the punishment of the transgressing party to a
severe reprimand. In conclusion, Mr. GRANT stated,
that though his MAJESTY wished it to be understood
that in respect to this incident he acted altogether
from his own feelings, he (Mr. GRANT) was never-
theless authorized by Lord Siosioutir and Lord
TALBOT to state that the sentiments of their Lord-
ships relative to the circumstance altogether coincided
with those of their Royal Master, and that the Go-
vernment of this country would be conducted on
principles in accordance with tliese sentiments."—

The establishment of Steam Packets from Brighton
to France appears certain. The passage from London
to Dieppe may then be made in 14 Lours; and the
saving of distance, by land, to Paris, is of such import-
ance, that Brighton will become the resort of all tra-
vellers either going to or returning from the Continent.

Alderman WOOD arrived at Amsterdam on the 4th
instant, on his return from the funeral of her late
MAJESTY. In all the towns and places which he
passed, in his way through any, the same affec-
tionate regard for the late aegri appeared to exist.
Whenever the worthy Alderman was discovered by
his passport, or otherwise, the inhabitants immedi-
ately crowded around, to speak of, to praise, and to
express their regard for her; and at Osnabruck they
flocked into his room at the inn, and many of the
principal ones, among whom was the Chief Magis-
trate of the place, insisted on shaking hands with him,
and on expressing their thanks for his attachment to
her late MAJESTY.

HAYMARKET TMEATRE:...-The Marriage ef Figaro
was performed last night: JONES Alnuroroa, DECAMP
Figaro, the Countess Miss CAREW, Susannah Miu R.
CORRI, the Page Mrs. CITATTERLEY. Miss CAREW
played with lady-like ease and interesting expression,
and sang with her usual skill. Miss R. CORM was
generally and deservedly applauded in Susannah.
Mrs. CRATTERLEY'S only fault, if fault it may be
called, in the Page, was, that she looked like an ele-
gant and gallant young Officer who had seen the
town, rather than like a beardless and bashful boy.
Her acting was full of vivacity and archness. The
other characters were efficiently supported, and on the
whole the Opera was well got up.

Sadler's Wells Theatre was last night honoured by
the presence of the LORD MAYOR and a distinguished
patty, who was greeted upon his entry with the
cheers of an overflowing and fashionable audience.
The exterior of the Theatre was very brilliantly illu-
minated, forming the City arms, &c. The whole of
the Entertainments went off with their usual eclat;
the superior acting of Mrs. EcenxoN, as Meg Mari-
lies, in the Gypsey of Derncleugh, drew forth re-
peated bursts of applause.
ALARM OT FIRS AT ens COZURG Tneavent.—Yesterday,
Clark, an °Aker, brought up to Union flail a well-dressed wo-
man of the town, that be had taken up the night before, for
having, with some of her companions, raised a cry of" Fire !"
at the Coburg Theatre during the perforrnahce. The officer
described the confusion created amongst the audience by the ay
feed by the defendant and her associates, as meat alarming, and
Only, for a time, to have produced very serious consequences,
es the audience rushed out from all parts of the house to the
dterror.—A Gendeman who was present corroborated'
eer's statement, and said some of the persons in the gal-
lery etteally jumped out of ; and that, but for the very prompt
mei peeper conloct of the performers, who all came on the
Sage sod remeimed until they satisfied the audience that it was
a false alarm, the consequences might have been dreadful—The
CAer bed nothing to offer in her defence, and the Magistrate,
admonished her on the heinousness of her offence, in
giving a false alarm, by which the lives of many persons were
endangered, ordered her to be confined for one month in the
House of Correction.—The defendant complained bitterly of
the punishment, but the worthy Magistrate assured her, that if
she made a good use of her time while in confinement, she would
be much the better for it.
Thursday information was given at Queen-square Office of a
most extensive burglary having been conunitted in the house of
Mr. TRITON, Chester-street, Grosvenor-place. The robbers had
effected an entrance without alarming the family or the watch-
man, and passed through a great part of the house, and at length
arrived at the Butler's pantry, where they broke open the plate-
chest, rantatked it, and succeeded in carrying off 82 pieces of va-
luable plate; they also forced open a desk, out of which they
stole £6O in Bank of England notes,; a gold watch, and a slum-
ber art nirmorauslum-, sti ith which they sunke they escape.
