ANSWER.

4, Carlton-terrace, February 22,1842.
SIR,--Having had the honour to lay before his:Majesty

le King of Prussia the address voted by your society, I have
eceived from his Majesty the gratifying commands to express
3 you the satisfaction his Majesty feels at the loyal and
;hristian sentiments embodied therein, and to thank you

for the expressions of attachment and affectio❑ which it con-
tains. It is a source of high gratification to his Majesty to
have joined the British church and nation in two such im-
portant and sacred acts, as the extension of the church in
foreign countries, and the imploring of the divine blessing
upon the future ruler of that nation ; and it is his confident
hope that this blessing will be alike upon the ruler and_ the
nation.

In thus executing his Majesty's orders, I beg toapolo

- „
for the delay caused by an -indisposition from which I was
suffering immediately after his Majesty's departure ; and
have the honour to be,
Sir, your obedient, bumble servant,
John Rigby, Esq. BUNSEN.
Similar answers have been received to the addresses from
the Liverpool Protestant Operative and Toxteth-park Pro-
testant Operative Associations, by Mr. Joseph Crisp, as
chairman.

THEATRE-ROYAL

Last evening Mr. J. S. Tho

he manager and lessee of the Belfast
_theatre, a

well-known in the literary and medical circles of tl

"or his abilities, appeared as Huon, in Knowles' play of
" Love." Miss Bennett was the Countess. The house was

well attended, and very full at second price. Of 11'1r 'j
burne's acting we can speak praisingly. He showed a true
knowledge of his author, and manifested energy and spirit
where occasion required it. He seems to possess a good
acquaintance with the stage ; and after the first agitation was
over, on seeing before him many " old familiar faces,"
he applied himself to the business of the play in a man-
ner that frequently drew forth applause. His
great fault.

. . ... 6.,-4., man,
arising, no doubt, .for want of snificientpractice, is a free
enunciation. Without fur one moment comparing him to
one or two we have been accustomed to see, in the character,
we may pronounce it to be a very creditable effort.. Air.
Thorbourne will intime become. a highly Ifsefa member, and
if he studies hard an ornament to the sine: he possesses
many of the requisites, a good voice, expressive features, and
education. Miss Bennett occasionally shined as the Countess,
particularly in those mg: where a lig'utness and grace arc
requisite; but in the hew= and deeper portions, it was e. 18:.,
she had not physical saditth to go through, with the idea
she had herself conceived. Mr. Chaplin played Ulric in
tibie
' usual singular manner, occasionally walking away
autp.i.amently
person he was in conversation with, addressing erarin the
the prompter. Mr. Barton was sententatious asloc:cnone of
stupid lover of Catharine. The pantomime has
his freshness, " it goes" as well as ever, and appearti to de-
light yound and old.
REMARKABLY HIGH TIDES.—The

a truly magnificent which modern science and enterprise

rose over several of the outer quays, rush-
have lined our
I'd: upon George' s pier and other marine promi-
ing several yards
to the inconvenience for a time of those landing from, or
nades,
embarking by the river steamers. Considerable portions of
.2 round the Duke's dock, the Manchester basin, &c.,
twerehe ( I lals under water. The damageable goods were, however,
, a precaution--a high tide being anticipated) on the
Pplacedi
higher parts of the quays, and little or no injury was sus-
tained. The whole of the shipping in the docks, elevated
much above their usual level, showed their hulls to great ad-
vantage over the walls of the quays, and as the sailors would
say, " loomed" very large. The vessels in the several basins
rocked about in a lively manner, but the damage by fouling
and jamming was but trifling. On the west side of the
Brunswick dock the whole of the inclined quay used for un-
loading timber was under water (in some parts to a depth of
three feet), and some deals, and even balks, were floated up.
We regret to add that the tide of Sunday, probably thrown
up the sewers, and otherwise finding its way under ground,
filled several of the. cellars under the warehouses in Strand-
street, and also those on the east side of the King's Dock.
A bloek-maker's in the former, at the bottom of Red Cross-
street, the cellar under the premises of INlr. Pitt, wholesale
pkper dealer, and others, were flooded to a depth of about
2i feet. At the King's Dock considerable damage is done
to sugars-and several other goods in one of the cellars.
