BY tradition, we have always understood
that those were the first plays performed in
the English Colonies north of Virginia.
The Play House, was a slight. and tenn
porary building, aud stood on lot in the
north part of that part of the town called
Easton's Point, near Dyre's gate.
In the Newport Mercury of Nov. 8, I76I
we find the following article, by which it
appears the plays ended for the season.
"On Friday evening last, the Company
OF Comedians finished their performances
IN this town. by acting the Tragedy of Dou-
glass; for the benef, of the poor. This
second charity, is undoubtedly meant, as an
expression of gratitude, for the counteuance
and favor the town has shewn them and
1t cannot, without an uncommon degree of
ma'evolence, be ascrihed to an interested or
selfish view, because it is given at a time
when the company are just leaving the
place and consequently can have neither
hopes or fears from the public. In return
Tor tins generosity, it ought in justice, to be
told that the behavior of the company here,
has been rreproachabIe and with regard
to their skill, as players, the universal pleas
ure and satisfaction they have given, is their
best and most honorable testimony. The
character they brought from the Governor
and gentlemen of Virginia, has been fully
verified; and therefore we shall run no
''sque, in pronooncing That they are ca
'able of entertaining a sensible and polite
,udicnce."

A Whale Fight-From the description
given us Of the sanguinary battles which not
unfrequently occur between Sperm Whales
we should think that no animals fight with
such dreadful ferocity. The females al
ways go in droyes Of about twenty, with one
very large male in company. A majority
Of the males wander over the ocean alone.
Whenever lone whale meets drove he
forthwith turns upon the male Of the groop
and gives him battle. Our infnrmnu, says
he attacked one Of these males while eu-
gagged in II fight and succeeded in taking
him. Their manner offghling is bold and
destructive. They run backward from
each other several rods and then rapidly adj
vance head foremost, their great square
heads meeting with d,edfui suddeness.
The scene was one of awful display.-The
two monsters, being among the largest of
their species, advanced upon each other,
with their jnws which measured sixteen feet
widely extended, exhibiting huge rows Of
great teeth, and presenting the most fero-
cious appearance. They clenved much Of
their flesh from each others heads, and left
deep marks of their immense teetI, on 9th

ONE or THE WONDERS OF THE AGE.-
We have been shown a sheet ofpaper abou,
hundred feet IN length and two feet vide,
printed on both sides by machine at one
operation. This extraordinary invention
enables person to PRINT of any length of
paper required for any number of copies Of
work or public journal, without SIN
gle stop and without the assistance of any
person except ore to put in the rags at the
extremity of tho machine. The work
comes out entire and complete. This won
deful operation is effected by the placing of
the types on stereotype plates on the surface
OF two cylinders, which are connected with
the paper making machinery. The paper, |
as 1t issues from the mill, enters in a prop
erly moistened state between The rollers,
which are evenly mixed by an ingenious ap-
paratus, and emergcs in "a printed form |
The number OF copies can be measured off
by the yard or mile, according to the de-
mand, or according to the demand of the
:" raw material" The work which we have
seen from this press is Robinson Crusoc,
and consists of 80 duodecimo pages. The
whole labor of wettIng down the paper, the
hands required to put it into the Napier
press and take it out, the trouble Of effect
