very attr

pany being again called to receive the enthusiastic ap-
plause of the audience. Little Annato commenced by her
daring riding on her fiery little horse, and delighted the
juvenile portion of the audience. Mdlle. Paul and Mdlle.
A. Berg are new female artistes, who have made their first
appearance in Liverpool. The former went through some
very pleasing and daring manoevres in the elegantly dres-
sed costume of the " Andalusian." The latter is a very
surprising young child, and rides with a fearlessness and
vigour, which is very remarkable for her age—she was
loudly cheered. M. Newsome personated his clever per-
formance of " England, Scotland, and lreland"—it is a
very perfect performance, and being highly national, is
very popular, and he receives thunders of applause.
Messieurs Loisset, Neif, and Young Loisset, electrified
the audience by that grand equestrian act the " Human
Pyramid." The Messrs. Siegrist displayed uncommon
dexterity in a new act, entitled the " Four Globes." Lit-
tle Marie Annato is an exquisite little dancer, she has not
a stage of thirty feet square; but dances upon the saddle
of the horse, in an exquisitely fine style. As she advances
in years she will take a high rank in her profession.
Melle. Hadwiger displayed her daring and amazon-like
feats upon the bare backed steed.
On Wednesday a change took place in the performances.
Mdlle. Ducos was announced to appear, but on account
of the indisposition of her horse, her place was supplied
by Mdlle. Palmira Annato, who went through her elegant
pas and surprising gazelle-like bounds over scarfs and
through hoops, with that high finish and perfection which
belongs to her alone, and is only to be equalled by the
first operatic dancers. Mdlle. Emmeline Lambert has
appeared in the classical and truly graceful " Scarf Act" ;
and the stately and dignified Mdlle. Caroline Loyo has
exhibited on the magnificent steed " Busse," with the
superb costume of black, crimson, and gold, forming a
fine contrast to the colour of the horse. Oppose to all
this mass of elegance and beauty the extraordinary perso-
nification of " Jocko," the ape, by Mons. Montero, and

Aurfo-1 has repeated a variety of his feats and comic acts
of horsemanship, while L'Eclair keeps all stirring by his
vivacity of manner, surprising agility, and activity upon
the stilts.

While these various acts are going forward and captivat-
ing the eyes, the ear is charmed by the most fascinating
airs from the orchestra, by a variety of the most pleasing
polkas, quadrilles, &c., under the able conductorship of
Mon. Hemet, who, it will be remembered, was so highly
esteemed last season by his English brother musicians,
who testified their admiration of his skill by presenting
him with a silver baton.

Loss OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP.—On Wednesday, the
desertion of an emigrant ship while in a sinking condition,
with no less than 115 passengers on board, was reported
at Lloyds. The following particulars are confirmed by
communications from Mr. Buchanan, the chief agent of
emigration at Quebec, who took the deposition of the
passengers. The vessel in question was the schooner
Ann, 200 tons burthen, Archibald M'Fie, master, belong-
ing no Limerick, bound to Quebec with 124 emigrants,
men, women, and children. She arrived in the Gulfof St.
Lawrence on the 26th of September, and was beating up,
the wind blowing very heavy, when she came in collision
with another vessel. She was rendered a perfect wreck,
her mast and rigging being carried away. and her bows
stove in. All the passengers at the time were below
a-deep, but the violent concussion threw them out of their
berths, and a scene of the utmost dismay prevailed. The
crew, at the direction of the master, immediately fastened
down the hatches, so as to prevent the poor terrified
creatures escaping on to the deck, and then, with the
captain, jumped on board the vessel with which they had
been in contact. The vessel was then being got clear of
the Ann, which, incredible as it may appear, had been
abandoned with her living freight below decks. Nine of
the passengers, however, just before the vessels parted,
managed, by breaking through the partition between the
steerage and forecastle, to gain the deck, and followed the
captain and crew on to the other vessel. This turned out
to be the Hampton, of Grangemouth, a coaster. She had
sustained considerable damage to her rigging, her bow-
sprit being carried away. Apparently no injury had been
caused to her hull, yet not the least effort was made to
rescue the unfortunate emigrants. The Hampton, it is
reported, left the wreck of the Ann, and was soon lost
sight of. The terrified emigrants eventually burst open
the hatches, and on getting on deck discovered the deplor-
able condition they were in. The boats were destroyed,
and every sea made a breach over her. After some diffi-
culty, they contrived to hoist a light on the stump end of
the mast as a signal of distress, which, in the course of
the following morning was seen by the Princess Royal, of
Liverpool. The master, Mr. Druguid, took all the emi-
grants off, with the assistance of the brig Hibernia, Work-
ington Cootear, master, which brought about 25 out of
102, her boats being very small for the sea that was run-
ning. If it had not been for the assistance of the brig,
some of the men would have been left behind. The pas-
sengers saved nothing, but what they had on their backs.
Subsequent accounts mention the arrival, at Quebec, of
the nine passengers who got on deck, and escaped on
board the Hampton. that vessel having shipped them on
board the William Stewart, of Portsmouth, but, strange
to say, of the master and crew of the Ann, no tidings have
been heard.. The nine passengers state that they left
them on board. The Ann, we are informed, has been
seen on shore, on the south side of the island of Anticosti,
a perfect wreck.—Daily News.
At Worcester sessions, last week, a respectable married
woman was sentenced to seven years' transportation, for
stealing an umbrella.
