SHAISPEARIeS Comedy, the Taming of the Shrews, was revived at this Theatre last night after 'a lapse,' since it was performed. in its original state, of eighty years ; and (in conformity with the prevailing fashion) is now produced as an Opera—the poetry being selected from the plays, poems, and sonnets of SHAKSPEA RE;2lld the music proceeding from many sources, adt'p•ed, adapted, and originated by Alr. BRA HAM and Mr. T. COOK 6. There are no less than two and twenty characters in the Taxiing e the Shrew, so that a great part of the strength of the company was engaged. WALLACE was the hero, and played excellently,. excepting perhaps in the scene with the Tailor, where he descended to grimace. He was in fine spirits, and had the real swathing air that belongs to the part. The Mrnine was in the hands of Feiner Arrow—she is one of the best comic singing actresses on-the stage. —We never saw MLA HAM, too,, quite so good In•this respect, and the description which he gave, as Hortensia, of the manner In which late bad broken his head with a lute, drew down several rounds of applause. liesidei these,' there was HARLICY as Gemini*, always ridiculous, and never missing the slightest opportunity of giving effect to the merest word put into his mouth; and Comma, some times More than judicious, and always respectable ; while the rest of the cberacters were assigned to Alias Geese (a good singer), Baowsix, BLAND, Gaon!, TIMM, BAD sour, and many others " too numerous to mention." Altugettler the play was well got up and well acted. COVENT—GARDEN. Last night SHERIDAN'S excellent Comedy of ,the School for Scandal was performed. The performance was well received. The most remarkable leature ik it was the antiquated cut of 'lCastaca's coat, as Charles Surface, and his altogether very ungenteel appearance in the fa,hionable libertine. The afterpiece of Ole Inoincibles met with its usual success. The Knight of KERRY paired off with Col. HUGHES on the question of provision for the family of the late Mt. Caroutio. The Duchess of NORTHUMBERLAND gave a Grand Concert yesterday evening, at Northumberland House. The preps• rations on the occasion were of the must splendid description.

The Inquest of Porisoken Ward made a presentment of the very great nuisance and obstruction in the public ways there, which is created by the assembling of persons for the sale of old clothes and other goods within that ward; upon which the Court referred it to the Alderman of the Ward, to give such directions to the City Solicitor as be shoold-see fit. George Bernard, Esq. surrendered his office of one of the Common Pleaders, and Edward tiolbck t Esq. was admitted in his stead. sociETi FOR PROMOTING THE BUILDING OF CHURCHES AND CHAPELS. Yesterday the Anniversary General Alfetitag . .of Society took place, at No: g; PALL.:49teusiltr, et. It w a s •excetteJ that the Archbislicip" of Canterfsuiy would hare s been in the Chair, but, owing to indisposition his Gr ? rerwas iiiiable to attend; •in cosh( quence of which the Archirj,hop of Yon t piftidect on the occasion. and was supported by the Bishops of idindon, Durham, Winchester. thever. Lichfield and. Cocrentry. Carlisle, Ely,.Bristol, St. David's, Bath and .Wells. and Glow cetr. Lord Kenyon, Sir I'. Atland, atc. &c. be CHAIRMAN requested the attention of the Meet ing to vie Report, which the . Secretary was about to read to them. Its contents were as follow; " The Committee in this, the 'fetal' Report of the Society's proceedings, have nothing of a new character to communicate. They have only to congratulate the public on the steady continuance of the Society in the same system of well-regulated liberality which was pursued by it in former years, and•which h s been again blessed with the same happy results. During the last year 100 applications for assistance have been received, and in 70 cases grants have been voted to the amount 0f9,672/. By the aidoof this sum 15,946 additional sittings will be procured, of which number 13,092 are to be free and unappropriated. " The Toble shoo s, that during ten years which have elapsed since the institution of the Society, it has re• ceived 935 applications; that in 577 cases it has voted grams of different magnitudes; . and.rhat in 88 instances additions have been made to : the' miginal grants, in consequence of proposals of increased accomjnodation. The whole sum voted at different times amounts to 119,9671. It must be ob , erved, however, that the actual suini Which the Society bas either paid, or pledged itselt to pay, is only 108.6271. Several grants having been reliaquiled. nerds it pie,ent no balance remaining in favour of the Society ; for if all the grants'which have been voted, and n t f•'rmally rel nquished, shall be claimed, the whole of the money placed at iti dis •pos:tl will have been expended. " It will be seen that the number of applications re ceived in the last year has been exceeded only in two instances. In the fist year it WAS 145, and in the sixth 102. " There is, therefore, every reason to conclude, if any judgment may be formed from the experience of the last year, that the number of applications for assistance will-be increased rather tl , an ditnjrnished. Fail' will not surely be supposed that in the Churchei now in being, to which the Society chiefly directs its attention, that•is necessary to be done for the' further accom modation of_the people has been alreadraccomplisbed. It is but too notorious that the growing population of many parishes requi:es a proportionate increase of ac commodation for numbers who a e now prevented by want of room, and by that alone, from attending the Worship of the Established Church: • " The Parliamentary Grants have done Much to wards the building of additional Churches and Chapels in populous districts. It must, however,. always be borne in mind that these grants are applicable only to parishes *here the population amounts to 4,000 persons. In cases excluded from the benefit of this pfovision, the Society has contributed to the procuring of a great in. crease of church room by various means-=by the env largement of the fabric ; - by rebuilding with enlarge ment; the building of galleries ; a new arrange. went of pews; and in some initances by the erection of additional places of worship. In these different ways, it has bten'instrumental in providing accommodation for 134,680 persons, and in securing out of this num ber 116,508 free and unappropriated sittings. " It appears from the Table, that out of 70 grants voted during the last year, more than one half had for their object an increase of accommodation by internal impraivtment alone, without any enlargement of the building ; and it appears also that more. accommoda tion will be thus procured, and at a less expense, than in the preceding year. In 1827, the grants amounted to: 9,9051. the sittings to 15 591/. • In 1828, the grants amount to 9,6724. and the sitting to 15,9461. This shows how much may be advantageously effected by - improvements in the internal arrangement; and, the inconvenient mode in which many of our Churches are pewed, and the quantity of space that is thud lost, render it highly desirable that these examples should be fol lowed wherever additional sittings are wanted, and can be obtained in this manner. " During each year of its existence, the Society has been instrumental in providing Chinch room; upob an average, for more than 16,000 persottsa fact which .speaks for itself, and renders any remarks on the useful ness.of the Society wholly supeifluow.. The importance of religion, of the due observance of the LORD'S Day, and of a 'regular attenditnce nn public worship, will not be callid in question by Chi istialts'of aay denomination. And the Umbers of the Church of England will feel it to be in the highest degree desirable that her places of !worship should, as far as may be practicable, afford ac commodation to all who are disposed to join in her pule and,so bfnelit by hn utrd•instructions. is Considerable approaches have been made towards the attainment of this impoi tot object, in consequence of the aid and encouragement which this Society has thus tar afforded. Its funds are now ezhaitsted; bat the SAciety still hopes that new means may be provided to enable it to persevere in the work of piety and benevo lence, in which it has been so long and so successfully - engaged." The' Billop of DURnAM said; that he rose for the purpose of proposing that the Repoitshould be printed anctortukted. It was like most other Reports, he be lieved, and contained something of good and something of beer The good it contained was, that it informed . them - how ouch bad been accomplished by the Society since its formation—while, on the other hand, it was distressing to heat that the funds ef the Society were entirely tzhoested. They would hear, however, from his Right Rev. Friend. the Bishop of Lichfield and Co ventry, an acconwt of steps that were taking to advance the interests of the Society. The Bishop of LICHFIELD and COVENTRY, in second ing the Motion, said that the Bishop of Chester and' himself bad only that morning had a final interview with one of his Majesty's Ministers on behalf of the Committee, and it had been settled that a Bill should be Lrought into Parliament for the purpose of incor porating the Society, by which it was thought that a greater stability would be given to it; the system like wise of collecting money by briefs-4 Hear, hear) — was to be done away with (Applause), as it had long been found that it operated unfavourably to the in terests of the Society. ' The Bishop of CHESTER said, that the point to which his Right Rev. Friend had just alluded, afforded him much pleasure, and it had been necessary to ez• plain it to the Meeting, •as it could not, well be em bodied in the Report, owing to the lag interview maul subject not having taken place till that morning: l i t= steed of the system of briefs, which bid hitberto . bein practised, it was proposed that the Kirig's letter should ` go round every two or three years; 'and if that letter tris s• • • supported from the pnjpit by tba parotWal Clergy, he had no doubt that the funds raised in this manner Would be sufficient to enabN the Society to pursue a cnurse eversmate successful than the most sanguine would at present antitigatrApplatise). -• • • The Bish'p of 13RISTOL alluded - to a meeting that had taken place in ifie capital Of firs ffidcesE, in. aid of this institutirin,.and eipre4ed his Opinion tba r t it would prove soon to be a powerful auxiliary. Sir T. ACC AND confessed; that he wa(shd to hear that the system of briefs was to be done matey Witt. and that the King's letter was to be'substitu•ed In in place; for, when the box was brought round to his pew in Church, he Certi)nly had a sort of feeling about it that was neither fitting to he place nor the sutject. Lieutenant General THORNTON suggested tothe Com mittee, whether, as the Rubric directed the cnrgrega don to kneel at certain parts of the st.rvice, kneeling as ell as sitting places ought not to be provided? The usual votes of thanks were then pasied to the different Officers cif the Society, and-the Meeting se parated. NEW LONDON BRIDGE.
