A letter from Seville, d•Ated October 20, says,
" Wbat irith threats from Cadiz, with plots in this city,
and Wit open rebellion to the established Comas in Vales-
the Otiveranomt is completriv paralysed. Nothing is

concerns, excepting smith/se recruits to the armies, which is

The report of the loss of the Lark sloop of
war, in the West-Indies, is unfortunately con-
firmed by accounts from Admiral ROIVLiY, which
state, that she upset in a gale of wind, on the 3d
of August, when Captain J t 4Es Nictiocsost the
officers, and nearly all the crew perished.
BONA, ta-re, it is stated, has enneetted a Con.

it is rumoured, of placing incur at the head of
the Runtish Church.

Of the pursuits of Mr. HILL, of Whitton, near
Hounslow, who died on Thursday last, we hovel
no accurate infortnation ; the result, however, of
his worldly efforts has been, the accumulation of
the sum Of 800,0001. At the commenceMent of
what Mr. CORBETT humorously terms this "Ju-
bilee Reign," when the plans consisted of 100,0001.1
such a fortune as that of Mr. HILL would hare
excited the aatoltialunent, aml whetted the appe-
tites of admiring citizens. But the estession of
the plum has keo pace with that of the National
Debt—the List of modern plums is half a mil-
lion. Mr. BILL has bequeathed 720,0001. he.
styes* two Gentlemen who conducted his business,
and 40,0001. to a eli.:rical friend.

oatselvos that the judicious
Kane of nightly. 'uproar, had
system of wercion-:—but in this
opielon we.find ourselves to hate been enteric:.
nate!, npdar a mistake. Common rose has not
yet lakell. the Managers.
- When the.eurtaiu rose on Saturday night, the
.Psi and Boxes displayed the Octal " beggarly ac.
coalor'—the company was unusatly thin, but of
description precisely similar to that which we
-Irve had Occasion so fregeently to describe. In
the. Pit was a. gang of ragamuffin rnffiant—end in
the Dress Boxes, the usual display of good..
natured, friendly; accommodating veighbouri.
—Amongst the fa:Ale:tables in the boxes,
shone conspicuously a reipectabit vender of
second . hand garments, residing in Russell
court. This son of Pante' was accompenied by
several fine Ladici, gorgeously arrayed in splen-
did dresses. The dull uniformity of attire of the
general herd of Female Orderly:, we must, in
candour, admit to have been greatly relieved by
this brilliant extol:Won—and we tndy, perhaps,
stand excused in the eyes of the Managers, for
presuming to suggest the policy of procuring,
if possible, an increase of this description of Com-
pany, from Russell-Court, or even, if ne-
cessary, Monmouth-street, where families may
so conveniently clothe themselves in the borrowed
splendour of those garments, which tire " General
13.1ficer," or the " Lady of Qual4ty" so prema-
turely and capriciously consign .tp the " Old
Man." If we must have Company in the
Bens, why not adopt this obvious and ham:yea-
hibition of faded splendour ? This, however, we
submit with great defereuce to the .consideratiuu'uf
the Professor. . .
Several squabbles took,place at early period
of the performance ; but of inoonsianattle interest..
Soon atter the half price corowencell, the Pit
'overt awed. To enter into a minute detail of the
mode in which ihe company in the. Pit and Boxes
expressed their disapprobation, wept superfluous,
as the " harmony" in no respect differed from
that of preceding performances. But, perhaps,
in volarnc it exceeded what hat boon recently
heard. During the farce of Animal Jlstgne.
tism, several sparrows were sot on ...the wing ;1
they made the circuit
.of the lipase, and
found a resting place on the
gilded brandies from whence the chandeliers
are suspended. Two others were then• flown,
to the legs of which were attached small Pia.
cards, with the particulars of which we are ma-
acquainted—they at length passed over the Stage,
and flew behind the scenes. " God Save the I
King," " Rule Britannia," and " Hearts of
Oak," were performed in the Pit at convenient
intervals. In these popular and loyal airs the
Company in the Boxes joined very heartily, as
they did also in general expressions of disapproha- I
Lion of the performances on the Stage. The 0. P.'s I
were more numerous than ever.

IVhen the Curtain dropped, the clamour was
perhaps more violent than has been heard since the
first and second nights.
In the last act of the Opera, a voice In the Pit
exclaimed, " there's the Blind Boy ;" a hundred
voices were instantly heard, " Where? where?"
46 There, that's Mr. Hew trson, the author of,
The Blind Boy."—" What du you want with
Mr. Ily.wirrsos ?" said a Gentleman, stepping
forward in the centre of the Pit, and addressing
hitwelf to the parson who originally made the ob.
nervation. " Nothing," was the answer, •" You
know I trould but have any thing to do with you,
when you were recommended to me." The gene-
ral bustle which immediately ensued, was en. t
creasedby another person exclaiming," There's Mr.
WesrE,the Proprietorbs son!" this nAs followed
'by a general minement,' the result of which was,
the expulsion of these Gentlemen, and about 1.3 of
their associates, after a contest, in which a per.. 1
son accused Mr. litiVETSOP4 and Mr. Worry:
of haying strtiek him. The Gentleman, we un. l
ilerstand, applied to the Office in Bow.street, and l
the Maqi-trate ordered them to appear this day, at ,
twelve o'clock, to answer the 'charge, Igo result of
'
which we have not yet heard. . .
Some Gentlemen in naval unifordst were cons
spicnotis by the size of the 0.'14.'1 in. Wilt hicked:i
hats, and the fervor of their opposition.
