HAYMARKIIT THEATRE.  • A Lecture, critical and oratorical, on SHARSPEARE, was given at this Theatre last night by Mr. THELWALL The enterprise was bold and arduous. Even with the combination of comic, imitative, and musical powers, it is no easy matter for one person to amuse a general audience for the length of time usually devoted to public exhibitions in a Theatre; but in this Mr. THELWALL,  succeeded. , His deportment is easy and theatrical, avid 'his action appropriate and impressii,e. His voice is sufficiently powerful, and in spite of the effects of time, his articulation is sufficiently distinct. His remarks on the kindness of heart which pervades the works of SHAKSPEA RE, and on the imaginative powers of that unrivalled Poet, were judicious. With his remarks on the importance of preserving the rhythm of SHAKSPEARE we fully concur. There is no part of the merits of our great Bard less understood. Actors in general know nothing about it. The Lecture was well received and much applauded. '  The Piedmontese Gazette of the 28th ult. repeats. the rumour of a volcano at Aleppo, and the fall of large zrolites in the Legations of Bologna, as stated in the Star of yesterday:` Accounts from Mobile, received yesterday, state that some uneasiness had arisen at Pensacola, from the hostile attitude of the Seminoles. Governor Duval had arrived from St. Augustin overland, throtigh Talahesa.— On the road he understood that the Seminoles had committed some outrages on the settlers is the vicinity of Fort St. Mark's,which had been evacuated by the United States troops, leaving only the butler's houso inhabited. In consequence the Governor had made a requisition upon Colonel Brooke, at Pensacola, for one company of infantry, to be dispatched to St. Mark's. The Seminoles had been inflamed by the recent treaty, and the laying out of the new load through their country. Fears were entertained for the• fate of Colonel Gadsden and Lieut. Riply, the Commissioners to survey and mark the line of the country assigned to the Seminoles. A letter fi om Molinella, in the Legation of Bologna, of the 6th, says, " that within the last few days a great number of meteoric stones have fallen in the neighbourhood of the village of Arenazo. The largest of these stones is twelve pounds in weight. Its fall was preceded by.claps of thunder of extreme violence, ac• companied by wind, a phenomenon which much, astoni,hed -the inhabitants of the country. The largest .ieiolite has been taken to the. Museum of Bologna. A ballot was taifen yesterday at Lloyd's on the ques• tion of amending the present classification of Merchant Siii piing, when it was determined, by a majority of 352 against 3'27, that a Committee should be appointed to rake into consideration the suggestion of the Shipowners, particularly with respect to the relative qualities of River-built vessels and those built at the Out-ports. A shoemaker, of Leeds, drowned his-imam child, a boy about eight months old, in a tub of water, in the cellar of his own house; on Saturday last. fie Heck is soon as he had committed the murder; but, on the following evening, overpoweted with the agony of remorse, he surrendered himself to the civil officer.  •.;;.R.
