. 4 'History of Roman Literature, from, its Earliest Period to the Augustine Age. By Joan DUNLOP, Esq. Two vols. Bvo. For these volumes we .are indebted to the author of - the History of Fiction—i work deservedly well received by the Public. The principal aim of the present per-- formarice is to give a connected view of the ltise, Pro gress, and Declines of Roman Literature. The au thor divides his subject into three great ages—that which passed preceding Augustus—the Augustan age the time that passed from•the death of Augustus to the removal of the seat of Empire to Constantinople; hut the two volumes now published ate confined to the first of these, and whether the others will appear is to depend on the reception these may meet with.---The work commences with the Etruscan origin of Roman Literature (which -aPpears to have bad no existence be fore the Gth century after the founding of Rome) and a short sketch of the origin and formation of the Latin I.t ,gnage. The author proposes to bring before his re .dens all that is known of the history of each_ writer's works, and of their influence on the age that produced them, and to examine the works themselves in critical detail :—what an undertaking ! As a specimenwe pre. sent our Readers with the following extract from his account cf Plautus: " The parasites of Plautus would be almost as de serving a dissertation - as the clowns of Shakspeare.— Parasite, as is well-known, was a name originally ap plied in Greece to persons devoted to the service of the Gods, and who were appointed for the keeping-of the sacred provisions of tire temples. Diodorus of Sinope, as quoted by Athenmus, after speaking of the dignity of the sacred parasites of Hercules, mentions that the rich, in emulation of this demi-god, chose as followers per sun called parasites, who were not selected for their virtues .or talents, but were remarkable for extrava gant flattery to their superiors, and insolence to those inferiors who, approached. Abe persons . of their mas ters. This was the character islsich came to be repre-' sented on the stage. We learn from Athenaus, that a parasite was introduced in one of his plays by Epi charmus, the founder of the Greek Comedy. The pa rasite of this ancient dramatist lay at the feet of the rich, eat the offal of their table, and - drank the dregs of their cups. lie speaks of himself as of a person ever ready to dine abroad when invited, and when any one was to be married, to go to his house without an invitation— to pay for his good cheer by exciting the mertinient of 'the compans, and to retire as soon as he had eat and drank sufficiently,without caring whetherhe was lighted out by the slaves. In the most' ancient comedies, how ever, this character was not denominated parasite, and was first so called in a play of Araros, the son of Aristophanes, and one of the earliest authofs of the middle comedy. Antiphanes, a dramatist cf the same class, has given a very full description of the vocation of a parasite. The part, however, did nut become extremely common till the introduction of the new comedy, one of the writers of which, Diphilus, Whose works were frequently imi tated on the Roman stage, particularly excelled in his delineation of the parasitical character. In the Greek theatre, the part was usually represented by young men, dressed in a black or brown garb, and wearing masks, expressive of malignant gaiety. They carried a goblet suspended round their waists, - probably lest the slaves of their. patrons should fill to them in too small cups ; and also a phial of oil to be used at the bath, which was a necessary preparation before-sitting down to table, for which the parasite required to hi always ready at a mo ment's warning. a' It was thus too, that the character was represented on the Roman stage; and it would farther appear that the parasites, in the days of Plautus, carried with them a sort of 'Joe Miller,' as a manual of wit, with which' they occasionally refreshed their vivacity. The parasite naturally became a leading character of the Roman stage. In spite of the pride and boasted national independence of its citizens, the whole system of manners at Rome was parasitical. The connection between patron and client, which" was originally the cordial intercourse of reciprocal services, soon becairre that of haughty superiority on the one side, and sordid' adulation on the other. Every client was the parasite of some Tatrician, whose litter he often followed like a slave, conforming to all his caprices, and submitting to all his insults, for the privilege of being placed at the lowest seat of the patrons table, and there repaying this indelicate hospitality by the most servile flattery. On the stage, the pr incipal use of the parasite was to bring out the other characters from the canvas. Without Gnatho, the Thiaso of Terence would have possessed less confidence; and without his flatterer, Pyrgopoli nices' would never have recollected breaking an ele phant's thigh by, a blow of his fist... • WHITE COPPER. • A rather curious article on this subject appears in the last. Number of the Philosophical Magazine, translated from a German Journal. For a considerable period white copper has been made. and manufactured at Sulil, in the Henneberg country, and •the neighbouring places, particularly for the mount ing of guns or firelocks, but likewise for ether purposes, as for spurs and the like. This metal strongly resembles silver, 'even to deception, keeps excellently without tar - nishing, has the colour of silver on the touch -stone, is not brittle, but on the contrary extremely malleable, . contains no arsenic like the metallic compound.usually called white copper; and is therefore very useful in the manufactories at Suhl. This metal exists in small globules, in masses that ap . pear to be the slags of antient copper-a oils; but is now becoming very scarce. As some of our Readers may wish to form the article by composition, we here girt au analysis of its ore, able!' are— Capper - 88'000 Nickel 8.753 Sulphur, with a little Antimony 0'750 Stiles, clay, and iron 1.750 In its pure state, then, this ore may be considered as nothing-but an alloy - of copper and nickel ; but nickel in Its puce state is eteeedingly difficult of fusion. We think, however, that the vsrlue of this alloy being epee made known to our workmen, they will soon find means to join the two metals on tire large scale. lPosuicans---BitzwLus--Bzza.--From official Ex cite-office returns, just fur nished, by order of the House itSf Commons, it appears that every man, woman, and child in London, drinks on thiaVerase two barrels of beer a year. The account only refers to beer brewed by common brewers. s' 5 t om. 1 ;9 ,A 7 Cl 4 P - Is- • AO , , 1 ,4 1 1- .15 - =7_7= COVENT-GARDEN THEATRICAL FUND. The Nintfi public fl niversary of this excellent charity was celebtated yesterday, at the Freemasons' Tavern. Soon after six o'clock his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, the President of the Society, entered the room, accompanied 'by The Marquis of Hertford, the 'Marquis of Huntly, Lord Nugent, sir George Warrender, Bart. M.P. Sir William Congre*e, Bart. M.P. Sir Charles Flower, Bart. Sir Richard Birnie, ilr. Calcraft, M.P. Mr. Richard Martin, M.P. and Captain Forbes. Nearly 300 Gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous dinner. The galleries were graced by an assemblage of Ladies, consisting principally of the actresses of the Covent-garden establishment. The o,chestra was filled by a band of great skill and ability,.who, from time to rime, enlivened the evening with a variety of popular, lively, and pathetic airs. Behind the Chair was a kind 'of canopy, under Which was a bust of Shakspear:. An inscription encircled it, stating the name of the charity, .apd below that was the folloying motto from our im mortal dramatist: " He bath a tear for pity, and a hand open as day for melting chalky." sit The cloth having been - removed, "Benediams Deus" was sung in admirable voice by the professional vocalists who gave their assistance on this occasion. The health of the King, the Patron of the Society, was then drank with four times four rounds of applaihe; after which the national anthem was sung withini. rivalled effect, two of the verses being led by Mr. Sin " clair in his highest style. " The Royal Family" was then proposed with the customary honours, and received with applause; alter which came " The Army and Naiy."—Air—" Rale Britannia." " The Covent-garden Theatrical Fund" was then drank amidst considerable cheering. Sung—" The Soldier's Gratitude," by Mr. Sinclair. The Marquis of ' HERTFORD then rose to propose the health of their Illustrious Pi ebident, whose unchanging kindness to the Society had induced him to take the Chair at nine successive anniversaries in that room. The Noble Lord said he felt that the Society owed a large • debt of gratitude to his Royal Highness, which they would be glad of an opportunity of acki:ow•ledging-- (Appfause). It would be imputing to thenil forgetful ness of their duty to enlarge on the merits of his Royal Highness, and he should therefore content himself with proposing the health of their Illustrious President. . The toast was received with loud cheers, and drank with general enthusiasm. His ROYAL HIGHNESS said, it gave him the greatest pleasure to witness the growth and prospe•ity of the Society, the objects of which must be dear to _every, Englishman; and to none, he believed he might M ich truth ,assure them, dearer than to himself. He congra. tulated them on the numerous and respectable b6.if assembled to celebrate their anniversary on the present, occasion.• His Noble Friend had reminded hint, that this was the ninth anniversary at which he had presided. He was gratified that he had been instrumental in con tributing to the success'of the Society ; and he wished them to be satisfied that he would in future continue to exercise the same regard to their welfare—(Cheers). In conclusion, his Itoyal Highness adverted to the pro sperity of the fund; and repeated the expression at the pleasure it had afforded.him, to learn that se useful and excellent a charity - lied already met with so liberal an acknowledgment of its merits from the British public, who, indeed, were never slow in patronizing institutions of such a nature. • When the applause which followed his Royal High• ness's address had subsided, "Mr. Broadhurst sang the finely expressive ballad of John Anderson on". Joe, in a style of tenderness and meiddy not to be etcelled. No performance throughout the evening diffused sirore.ges neral delight. The next toast was "'The Vice-Presidints," which wee 104 corned with' considerable applause. The Marquis of HUNTLY rose to return theate for the hononr conferred upon himself and his ctilleasuei. Exclusive of the pleastire he felt in contributing his aid tuthe success of such an institution; he assured them it gave him no little satisfaction to find himself seated at' festive table with so agreeable a coMpinjr of jovial fellows (Cheers); especially when his gratification was enhanced by a glimpse behind the curtain at so brilliant at bevy of beauties as he then saw assembled in the' gal • leries—(Loud cheera). His gallantr) would not allow. him to conclude wfthotif proposing a toast in which he was certain every Gentleman would join With'it witch. fervour 'as he felt in suggesting* it. The Noble . pfarquis then proposed " The Ladies," which was received with the warmest approbation by the Sodietyv • • • Mr. T. Cooke then executed °tithe piano-forte a nb& Italian air, accompanied with his Yoke. The exquitite absurdity of the parody excited much The health of the Treasurer of the FUttd, "John Fawcett, Esq." Was given front the Chair, and warinlf received by the conipany. Mr. FAtivarrr expressed the gratitude he felt for the handsome return made by the company for the services he had been able to render the charity. lie believed that very erroneous notions prevailed generally with respect to the ability of performers to pr( vide for their declining years. The public heard of the large salaries I which some of them received, and it was inferred hastily that they ought not to be overtaken by distress. He was anxious, therefore, to avail himself of that oppor tunity of vindicating them from the pernicious effects of this mistaken reasoning. Performers in general weie, not the improvident, thoughtless, and extravagant race' of men they were considered to be. Suppose the salary of an actor was twelve guineas a week. It was esti, mated that he enjoyed an income of 62 gdineas a yeAr but no edculation could be more erroneous. lit the firs place, he received his salary only during the theatrical , seasou,which would reduce his gross income to'somew hat less than CO guineas a year,out of which he had to defray a great number of expenses arising from his profession, which could be conceived only bythose Who belonged to it. Having thus endeavoured tocortect an opinion which, he knew operated to their prejUdict, he could not ie. frain from congratulating theft on the growth and pro spects of the institution. Its benefits could be thoroughly understood only by those who hadstalien an'active part in distributing the charity. The profession- of a player. was unlike every other; wheat old age overtook him, he' could not fall back on the generosity with which the public rewarded those who spent their lives in other branches of the public service. The moment the approach of age withered the talents of the perforcher, he found himself alone and abandoned, in a world which would be Whim cheerless and desolate indeed, if the Thea trical .Fund did not exist to succour and relieve him.— It wa s gratifying also to them to reflect, as it must be satisfactory to the subscribers to know, that more of the benefactions were applied to the objects for *Nell they were given in that Society, than perhaps in any other in existence—Whet-4. No officer received any salary or allowance, not even the Secretary, whose duty was•so onerous and difficult to discharge—(Chcers). The wor thy Treasurer then alluded to the general prospects of the Society, which he declared to be in a highly flout4ir ing state. He had not forgotten the patronage the Stage had enjoyed from the most virttioni King who had ever been seated on the British throne. It now was ho noured with the giarions regard of our present illus ariout Sovereign, whom he prayed GOD to bless and preserve. He.also adverted to the condescension which had induced the Royal President again to confer the benefit of his attendance upon them, and concluded with expressing his confidence that under such auspices the stage must flourish, and its decayed votaties.be se cured from the reach of distress—(Cheers). " The Proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre" was the next toast. . Captain Formes returned thanks, in a neat and ex pressive speech. Mr. Matthews, then, by desire of the Chair, gave a new, witty, and appropriate song, in favour of the cha rity ; after which the collection was commenced from the company. While it was proceeding the healths of the Committee and Stewards were drank, and Mr. Yazas, in behalf of his colleagues, returned thanks, in imitation of the manner of a popular performer. Mr. FA WCETT then announced the amount of the be nefactions received ; his Majesty had transmitted his annual donation of 100 guineas—( Cheers). Their illus trious Chairman had repeated his' annual gift of 50 guineas —(Cheers). His Grace the Duke of Bedford, who was unfortunately absent through ill.health, but who had proved himself one of their warmest friends, had also given his usual handsome benefaction. Mrs. Coutts had sent 501. for herself and 201. for a daughter, making in the whole seventy pounds—(Cheer.s). It would weary the company to go through the list of subscrip tions. He would content' himself with stating gene. rally the result. Refine the dinner there had been re ceived a sum exceeding 3001. Since the dinner the col lection at the table was upwards of 6001. The total amount, including the receipt., front every quarter, since the last anniversary, was 1,450/ —(Cheers). This was a most gratifying statement, he was sure, as it exceeded in amount ;my previous year's receipts, and therefore held out the best promise that the benefits of the cha rity would be insured, not only to the present race of performers, but to their successors. " The Drury-lane 'Theatrical Fund" was then given. Mr. CA LCRA FT returned thanks, as, he believed, the only member of that fund present. He assured them he telt equally anxious. for the success of both, and trusted the only rivalry between them would be as to which should best fqlfil the object for which it was instituted. " The memory of the late Mr. Coutts," atictssever al other toasts, were drank, suitable to the occasion, in gratitude to past services, or in anticipation of future; and a rich variety of vocal 'music throughout the even ing, afforded altogether one of the highest series of en joyments of which we ever partook. It seems invidious to particularize any 'where all were so well executed, but we cannot refrain from mentioning The Death of Nelson, by Sinclair ; Green grow the rashes, 0, by Broadhurst ; and a beautiful Scotch air by Miss Paton, sung in her most admirable style from the gallery. Several ex cellent glees were also performed with perfect precision and the finest effect. Nvas over The other entertainments of the evening were. served in an equal style of superiority. The wines were ex ceedingly good, and the arrangements of the dinner alto gether bighly creditable to the parties concerned. . When his ROYAL HIGHNESS left the Chair, _ _ Mr. Rictus no MARTIN was called to it, and the con viviality pf the evening prolonged to a late how. Monday se'nnight, JOSEPH Hums, Esq. M.P. was elected Lord s Rector - of the Marketal College and University, Aberdeen, for the ensuing year: NEW- Decics.—k highly respectable Meeting was held on TUeiday, at the Three Tuns, in the Borough, , for the purpose of . discussing the subject of the .new Docks which are proposed to be built in the - parish of St. Catliierine's, in the precincts of the Tower, It was the unanimous opinion of the Meeting, that there were sufficient docks in the City to answer every mercantile: purpose, and that the building of additional ones would be useless. Several Resolutions were entered into, and a subscription to defray the expenses which might be incurred by any future proceedings of the Committee. Captain W. KELLY is fast recoverinifrom 'the severe wound he received in the late ,risarderoux attack made on him by two armed ruffians; neat'Hanitnersmith. Some idea may be formed of the narrow escape this clentleman had, when it is stated that the - Weapon iirith which . he was wounded was struck With such foice as to ,perforate, not only his sustout, body coat, and ordinary { dress; but also through a thick Indian silk hindkerchief, anti a-letter containing an enclosure, which were in his breast pocket, and to uhich fortunate circumstance in all probability lie owes his-life. Towards the latter end of last week, an individual in Edinburgh, who has acquired some notoriety ai a .staunch advocate of the principles of Paine, - was taken into custody, but the pat ticular charges brought against him have not as yet accurately transpired.

GREAT FIRE AT SA VANNA H.—Extract from a letter dated Savannah, United Stales, 20th January, three o'clock, A X..—" I write these few lines in a moment of . general confusion. A fire broke out at ten o'clock last night. in the wooden buildings on Moore's wharf, -and the .thole of the buildings on that wharf, as well as those on Rice's wharf, are destroyed. The fire is now taging'svith great fury in the Tabby building of Mon .gin's (forriierly Bullock) but fortunately the wind has Shifted to the North; and all the wooden buildings be tween the fire and Hunter's stores are pulled down, so that we are under no. apprehension of the flames ex tending any further. Previous to the wind changing, nearly every article was removed out of the stores to the East of the file, as far down as Mongin's range of stores. Nut less than 300 bales of cotton have been thrown into the river, and as many hogsheads and barrels of different kinds of liquors. • The wind was very violent, for a while, and the sparks set fire repeatedly to a num ber of houses in the city, but, by the great exertions of the firemen, it was extinguished." ACADEMY or Mustc.—We often hear people express their surprise that the .French Operatic establishment, from which so many of the dancers at the King's Thea. tre are imported; should be called the Royal Academy of Music. Voltaire exrlains this anomaly s--" The word tkcaderny became so celebrated (after the establishment of the French Academies of Literature and Science), that when billy, who was a sort of favourite, obtained the establishment of his Opera in 1602, he had interest enough to get inserted in the patent, 4 that it was a Royal Aca demy of Music, in which Ladies and Gentlemen might sing without bemeaning themselves.' - He did, not confcr the same honriur on the dancers; the Publje, however, have always continued to go to -the Opera,: but never to the Academy of Music.' , --Vol. p -40 'of . the New Translation, that had Person. ing . stances. f . .
