THEATRES.   HYMN.--WRITTEN AT SEA. •  Oh! Thourllio bidet these ocean-streams • Their iiimidbounds and &nits keep; Who laT'st Thy tpmple's starry beams • thishaliti on the mighty deep ! • _ . Cooduetis tier die trackless waste • • • Thar spurns thi print of human feet, Bat where thy presence may be treed " • In every wind and wave we meet ! • And as these liquid plains we rove, Should stormy winds resistless blow, 0 save utfrons the flash above ! 0 spare us from the guiph below! And in these soul-appalllog hours, • !rhos death rides high on every wave, Assist, oh ! Loan, our feeble powers, And save—when Thou alone met save! And on those plains of early day, Where first the star-light was sisfisil, That shed salvation from its ray, , And splendour o'er a *bled world! Oh ! shroud us from the scorching beam. 'That preys on life's diirtinish'd grftig, From fever's wild delirious dream, The tiger. wrath, the serpent's sting! But teach us—more than all rest.— To bow submissive to thy will, Ir all thy tender mercies blest; Is all thy judgments, patient still! , That when, life'iwery voyage past, * favouring gales or tempests driven, Our stedfast barks may gain at last Their wished for port—their Port in Heaven !  •  Dttuav-Lana.—ln conformity with long establish. d usage, Lacco's Tragedy of George Barnwell was performed at this Theatre, on Saturday night. It only in a few scenes that those who were nearest stage could' hear a word. Mr. H. Kestate took part of George Barnwell; and in the scene where uncle is murdered, he acquitted himself so well, bring down the repeated plaudits of a very crowded Haute. A Mr. HAMBLIN made his first appearance as Truman, but as he could not be it was impossible to judge of his abilities.— W. %Visa., as Millwood, was deservedly apaided in her last scene, and, in fact, the whole of performance did her much credit.—The opening he Pantomime at .last brought silence ; it is calHarlequih and the Dandy Club, or 1818.• The first discovers a number of Dandies dresiing, in . they are, interrupted by the appearance of a Gentleman of the Old School (Mr. SIMPSON). This occasions much cm.fusion amongst the fathioxables, which they are relieved by the appearance of Geniis's of Pantomime (Miss HALPORD), who de-, its a cloud, and transforms the Old Gentleman' Harlequin, and a Dandy (Mr. HARTLAND), to Pantaloon; and the usual bustle and tricks follow. were generally bad and ill managed ;—there appeared to be a deficiency either in the number or abilities of the assistants • but this may, perhaps, be attributed to its being the first time. About the middle of the Pantomime, a decided disapprobation of some parts of it was evinced by all parrs of the House, and the confusion, which had for some time -sn increasing, was now raised to the highest pitch . Gentleman, in the first row of boxes, who got and tried, by the most violent gesticulations, to the performance. He *as immediately aswith showers of orange-peel, &c: and cries of hint out—Throws him over! This continued for considerable time, anti! the arrival of some officers, fiudiug the disturber insane, allowed him to re,on his promising to behave quietly. After this performance proceeded for a short time without eruption. Miss TIME, as the columbine, played pretty air on the flageolet with much execuand was deservedly encored. Some of the seewas extremely fine ; and that part of the music could be heard seemed very pleasing.—Mr. .-DBURY, as Clown, on coming forward, after the curtain had fallen, to address tne audience, could obtain a hearing. Great confusion continued for e time to prevail, and the person who had preaously disturbed the audience in the boxes, again , ip to speak, and it was found necessary at length Corea him out of the House.
