On Friday morning Sir JoHN attended his pupils as ufnal, and in the evening was at Covent- Garden Theatre. He has left two unmarried daugh ters and a fon, a Captain in the army. The pro perty is laid to be very confiderable that he has left behind him. At the age of twenty-five he made his entre at the Opera Houle, in the Hay-market, then under the management of Mr. Du BURGH, as a dancer,: the enfuing feafun lie was made principal dancer, and in a few feafons became ballet matter, and then nage manager of the Opera Houle, and F ive leffons in dancing. In that character he was introduced into the Err! of ABINGDON'S family, where Lady ELIZABETH BERTIE, his Lordfhip'.; el cUi daughter, became enamoured of him, and mar ried him: her Ladythip has been dead only about lie months : loon after his marriage, he went to Italy, and was made one of the Knights of the Holy Ro man Empire : on his return to England, he again be- Came Manager of the Opera Houle, and had the merit of introducing Mr. Suncsny to that Theatre. Sir Jima was Manager at the time the houfe was burned down in 1789; he then tent a Gentleman to Italy and France to bring him plans of the Opera Honfes in thrice paces, to form his judgment in the detigning of the prefent King's Th,:att e.

The Company affembled on the occafion were truly elegant and fele& ; and many of the bri o btelt be witching beauties of Bath were prefent. Sir SYDIEY SMITH, encircled by bonny belles, teemed highly to enjoy his (twit:ion. How applica ble the following lines of BLaumour, were to the gallant officer, forcibly lt-uck many prefent " With this reward, the great reward of beauty, The h.ttter'd hero crowns his glariuus labours, And foftcns at the tugged tuils of war." The whole of the evening's entertainment was ex tremely well concluaed. The Supper over, the following Grace was chaunted " Seu edamus reu bilsamus Feu quid aliud faciansus, Deo gratias agamus, I julque busies enneina.nus." A►. the conclulion of this, the Prefident gave as a toall, " The King," which, (the company !landing) w.ts rapturoufly drank by all prefent. " God Save the King," verfe and Chorus followed. The fecond mall was, " The Prince of Wales, the Patton of the Society ;" (the company Handing) which was received with enthuliafm. _ _ The following Glee, in a very fine (kyle, was then lung If love and wine's beguiling pow'r To mulic's (trains can add delight, Ah, why not (size this gladden'd hour, When all thufe genial charms unite?

Now strike the thrilling lyre, and raife Th'enraptur'd note to Albion's Heir: To whom we tent thcfe grateful lays, Our brig:AA hope, our pride and care, In whom (e'en envy mutt agree) The graces move in harmony, We drink—(in which the Mutes join) The Prince, the fav 'rite of the Nine ! The third watt was, " The Ladies who horiottr this Society." The Glee, (Gentlemen Banding,) " Here's a health to all good Latter," followed. " The Navy and Army, with the glee of " Bri tain's belt Bulwarks," " Succefs to the Harmonic So• ciety," with the glee of " Life's a Bumper," foc ceeded, and pleafantly ccntribnted to the harmonic fociability which prevailed. In the cootie of the evening Young Henry was as brave a youth As ever grac'd a martial Rory, &e. was very finely fang by WALSH POEM, Eft. and was greatly and defervedly applauded by all prefent. The Company removed from the Supper-tables about twelve o'clock, to the Ball-room, where the Goddefs of the light lantaltic toe enlivened her vota ries fur many hours. The Dancers were falhionable and numerous. The Members of the Bath Catch and Glee Club, and the Members of the Harmonic Society, do not, to us, appear on the molt friendly terms with each other. The late entertainment given by the former to the Ladies at the Upper-room (fans flipper), had to boalt of feveral of the moll eminent vocal perfor mers of the prefent day, among( whom the names of BRAHANS, STOKACI, MORELLI, INCL:D3N. &c. were included ; the entertainment given on Wedneftlay, though deficient in this particular. had to buatt of the more folid aurael4'n of one of the moo fumptuous (uppers ever given in this part of the country. This circumflance has given rile to the following remarks, that at one place r 1 ever all fong, and rr9 Srofr, while all Suppr and la Song was :he rage at the other. Whatever may be Paid of the former, the latter may truly boalt, that then Chriltmas entertainment was not deticicnt in roan beef and plumb-pudding. THE THEATRE—" Pizarro,' and " 7& Minor," in which Meas. Micruusw, Davis, BREAETOPS, and LANGLEY. performed thofe parts for which they had been previoully announced, as amateurs of fortune, and attraCted one of the moll crowded audiences to witnefs the exertion of their powers that ever was I known at this theatre. Every avenue, in fall, leading to the houfe, even before the doors were opened, was blocked up with fedons, and pedeflrians endeavouring to force their way for admißion to the pit and galleries. .The fignal for the commencement of the perfor mances (the tinkling of the bell behind the fcenes) was at length heard, and greeted with &outs by the gods in the gallery ; and Mr. P. NILTRU tut foon af ter appeared, and recited an addrete with the confi dence, if not with the ability, of the molt experienced veteran of the lock. The tragic play now commenced i and the tear of husbtn• wars often flied at the exquilite fcene of mirth moving dillrefs, which it, on this occation, exhibited. The Amateur: were cett..inly deferving of the ap plaufe they received, all of whom had claims to (xi ginali cr. at lealt, and luccefsfully ',mailed a new way of delitliating their refpeaive charaaers, fuch, we believe, as was never feen on the Britith Rage before. Rolla was dreired remarkably well. His let fcene was but little lhort of perfeaion, and !Etas eta him. felf, as Rella, probably was never leen to greAter ad vatitage—on dm bier. Shift, Smiri, and Mother Cole, in the piece which followed, made the audience laugh, though whether at Shp, Smirk, ,Elother Cob, the Author, or Attor, we (hall not pretend to determine.
