THEATRES.

Deune.r.xos.—The Tragedy of Macbeth was per•
formed last night. Mr. KEAN was, of roars', thehero,
but there was a new heroine. Mrs. who had
already acquired no smell degree of repotation in the
characters of a eery different east, appeared for the
first.time as Lady Macbeth. The sketch which she
givers( the aspiring woman whom ambition had mi-
med. contained some gond points, and displayed,
*pots the whole, so much intellect that it may be said
to have wanted the necessary effect rather from phy.
scsl than mental disability. It is also to be eon-
, tittered in extenuation of any deficiency with which it'
ought be fairly charged, that among that host of
1 II oirsnts to the *Me part since the lime of Mrs.. SID'
Dom, not one can he said to have fully secateeded.
Mrs. WA host scenes were probably that of the ban-
gest, and that in *lnch she displayed the horrors of a
guilty sleep. Mr. H. KesteLz was the Maeduff, and
be acqtflted himself to a very respectable manner,
particularly on the litoportant occasion when the in-
tellig4forD of the steephier of his whole family is
matidiAm to him he house was numerously
C6tilkiltaitDits.— Miss O'NSILL last nio,ht per-
formedAregtt of Mrs. Hatter, which we think, on
the whiW, her best character. Independently of her
talents as actress. her age, fignre, and countenance
convey the exact idea of the uphappy female she re-
presents. The best proof of her success was the
sympathy evinced by the fair part of the audience,
who during nearly the whole of the fifth act were in
tears. The theatre was crowded.

COMPOITAMIA INTELLIGENCE FROM THS WIA.
Tute-gels..—frinfessor DITIMAR, of Copenhagen,
has published a learned dissertation, in which he
endeavours to establish as certain, that the ensuing
winter of 1818-19 will be very short and very mild.
The Commissioners for enquiring into the Chari-
ties for the Education of the Poor, having proceeded
in the execution of their office along the coast of
Kent, are now, in furtherance of the object of their
appointment, visiting Faversham, Sittingbourne, Ho.
chester, Maidstone, &c.
The Port, by a Bull, has granted the Inquisition
permission to torture, in cues of treason and free-
masonry.
COMBINATION.—Committed to Lancaster Castle
since our last, John Kenyon end Wilkinson Simp-
son, for conspiring to raise the prices of weaving at
Burnley ; and William Robertshaw, Lewis Brown,
Richard Hudson, Neither° /leap, Nicholas Bald.
win, and James Mercer, committed for three calm.
dar mouths each, fur rombining to raise wages as
Caton weavers.—( Liverpool Advertiser.)
So great has teen the infiwz of shipping into this
port during the last few weeks, that it has been with
the utmost difficulty vessels have been able to get
either •into or out of the Old Dock. Fortunetety,,,
the weather has been calm, otherwise, from the►
crowded state of the entrain,. of the river [bull, au;
of the harbour generally, great injury mud iuevita•
sly have been sustained.—(hull Packet.)
We are requested by Mr. BEETHAMI the Secretary
of the Eagle Insurance Company, to state, for
the security of such of their Friends as have omitted
to renew their Michaelmas Policies, that it is neces-
sary the same shoold be attended to forthwith, which
may be done by application at either of their Offices
in Cornhill, or the Haymarket, where Annuities are
granted and purchased. and every description of
Life and Fire Insurance effected, oil the most equi-
table terms.—N. B. An allowance for Rent of Pre.
[nisei; destroyed by Fire, as heretofore.
A Homt.—A curious hoax has been practised
within these few days on the Subscribers to the
Opera. A circular letter, purporting to come from
the King's Theatre in the name of Mr. KELLY (who,
by-the-bye, is totally innocent of the affair, as he is
now et Brighton for the recovery of his health), an-
nouncing the brilliant engagements made by Mr.
WATERS for the next Opera season, and inviting the
Heads of Boxes to apply to Mr. CHAMBERS, the
Banker, for a return of 371. 10s. of the subscription
paid by them last season, according to the Resolu-
tions of the Noble Committee at the close of the
Theatre. This letter has been sent round, and we
understand that several Ladies have actually applied
to Mr. CHAMBERS for the money 1

NORTIIERN EXPEDITION.

A kite!, written nn board the Isabella, Captain
Ross; to the Hon. Captain Napier, R. N., contains
the following particulars:—

" JULY am now mere sengeine of getting
a long ws) North and West than 1 was at the first of
the voyage."
" JULY 18, in lat. 74. 43.—The compasses for
some time have traversed very sluggishly ; this we
suppose is •wing to the Increase of dip. I think it
not at all improbable, that as the terrestrial magnet-
ism begins to act more inclined to the compass nee-
dle, it will met with less Nice ; the iron of the ship
still acting in the same angle. draws the needle to.
wards the centre of the ship, which ceases this great
deviation of the compels, *rid should we ►each the
place where the dip is 90, 1 think the compass will
steed always North sod So•th by the maguetisos of

the ship."
11 JULY' 12%.—Ylistteday. NM got en opening which
brought es to the 7b.h degree. The land ice extends
three or four leagae4 "
" JIILT 26, let. 7b 21. long. 00. 30.—Got here
this morning, and now see more clear water than we
have seen for slime time past. We most now be
crossing the Magnetic Pole fest, as the satiation in.
creases so mach. It is puzzling to find oat exactly
how the ship is steering by the compass; what with
the great variation and error, arising from the ship's
attraction, and the sluggish traversing of the coin-
WWI, we most consider some time before a course
of wind can properly be named. The lempPrßture
of the water to day is 30 degrees higher than it has
been for soma weeks; we can see land besting N.W.
by W. true."
