The defcription of the Seven Ages, hlr.Coox alit delivered With much claffical purity, fludionfly avoiding grimace on the one hand, and cold mono tonous reading on the other. Altogether his per formance of Saturday was highly finilhed and digni fied. !Calque's rouchifeae is rather too boifterous, and not fufficiently pragmatical.

He had heard of his har ing abfconded with his employer's money,. and he therefore thought it his duty to take meafures for his immediate apprehenfinn. He applied to one of the Police Officers, and the prifoner was taken from the box. Upon fearching him there was found a aol. note, a it note, and a !even &Ming pkcs which the prifoner confeffed was all that was left of the 4561. he had gone cff with.

On Monday he took him to Mr. Combe's houfe, and he was delivered into the cuftody of the. Marffial man. The cafe being fo clearly made out, he was committed for trial.

In France, as in England, an infi nite variety of weights prevailed in the different provinces, to the manifefi inconvenience of the ge neral and fair dealer : to obviate this, the French Government have fettled a weight and meafure taken from nature,regulating each other and them felves. For this purpofe they have cbofen the dif. tance from the equator to the pole, the quadrant or fourth part of the circle of the meridian, and dividing this eflimated fpace into ten millions of parts, each of which are termed metres. At pre fent,this (pace has been prow ifionally determined to be 5,132430 toifes or fathoms, equal to 30,794,580 'Paris feet, according to which the metre is in de cimal parts 3,079,4580, that is to fay, 3 feet o ches 1144., too lines, and it will remain thus fet tled until the new admeafurements from the Me diterranean to the North Sea, and from Barcelona to Dunkirk, ate effeaed. *Attics caws.
