ROYAL CHARTER-HOUSE SCHOOL. Wednesday, being the Anniversary of the Charter of this ancient and admirable Institution, the Annual Visitation was held as usual by the Governors. After their usual inspection and choosing Officers for the ensuing year, they repaired to the great Hall, which was fitted up for the occasion, with a rostrum at one end for the orator of the day, and benches or forms on each side for the accommodation of the Poor 13ro thers, Scholars, Junior Governors, Stewards, and Subscribers and Pi iends to the Institution ; at te other end of the hall, at a table, sat the Sonior (lo vernor, the Head Master, the Resident Chaplain, Master, &c. The ancient gallery was crowded with a numerous and respectable assemblage of Ladies and Gentlemen. At three o'clock, Master CHARLES LUSHINGTON, the senior stholar of the grammar school, mounted the rostrum, and delivered an ap propriate oration in Latin, which was received with the greatest applause. The Governors and friends of the Institution gave their usual donations to the youthful orator. At four o'clock all repaired to the Chapel, which was btilliantly lighted up, to hear Divit.e Service ; a very excellent Sermon was preached by the Rev. EDMUND SQUIRE.

We noticed its former representation with the praise which was its due ; but on this occasion it was ex celled, and called forth more frequent expressions of applause from an elegant and crowded audience. The Dramatis Persona. were the same, but they had acquired a more confident manner by the repetition, which enabled them to do full justice to the exquisite humour, pathos, and character of the admirable Author, whom they have learned to interpret with such living fidelity. They gave the remarkable pas sages with a propriety and effect which excited ge neral admiration, and the minor parts were su.tained with that consistency which preset ves the harmony of dramatic conception. Doves and Simo, by Messrs. EDEN and DODGSON, as telbre, attracted most atten tion, especially the former, who possesses a fund of vivacity and comic adroitness which excites the con tinued merriment of his audience. With him 'the epigrammatic archness of the dialogue of TERENCE never fails of its pointed effect, and even its most minute beauties receive their just and animated application. A Prologue was recited by Mr. SMYTHE, which excited some applause. The Epilogue was an admirable one, and was recited by Messrs. Sstyrue and EDEN, in the characters of Crito and Davus. It was truly of the school of Te.RENCE in composition ; it possessed much humour, sarcastic description, and keen and polished iaill:ry, and conveyed a just and discriminating satire on the present degraded state of dramatic exhibi:ifln. Many of the thoughts, however, were copied from IIOR AC 14 and are to be found in the fir•t Epistle of his Second Book. The ideas were well turned as affecting the existing entertainments of London. It called forth warm approbation during the whole of the recital. ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY. The Public will learn with pleasure that the inte rior of Westminster Abbey, and the venerable monu ments which it encloses, are now undergoing a tho- • rough repair, in pursuance of a late resolution of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster Abbey. Monday and Tuesday, nearly a hundred workmen, stone-masons, bricklayers, painters, carpenters, sculptors, &c. were engaged to carry the resolution of the Dean and Chapter into effect, under the able direction and su perintendence of Mr. Co ANTREY, Mr. THECKS romr, and other artists of acknowledged talent. Messrs. GLANVILLE and RauccravE have the superinten dence of some of the works. The alterations in the choir will be very considerable. Wednesday, the cleaning and restoring of several of the monuments were completed. A number of men are, during the day, drawn up by pulleys, in baskets, to the roof of the Abbey, for the purpose of cleaning, repairing, and painting the ceiling. The whole of the iron railings, which were erected round the various monuments, have been remover'. They were so much decayed and broken (being made of wrought iron, which so rapidly decomposes), that they gave a most miserable appearance to this other wise grand and beautiful mausoleum. There will not be any railings again erected ; but persons will attend visitors, and prevent them from injuring the works. The windows have all been cleaned and re. paired, and the .different wood-work re-Eilt. The grand orgah ha,s been repaired and new varnished, and the pipes have been new gilded. The expense of these improvements will amount to several thousand pounds, and are to be defrayed out of the funds of the Dean and Chapter. It does not so much sorprise us to have heard that a person at Rochester says he found ten Bank-notes of a thousand pounds eack, as to find that the inJivi dual by whom they were dropi ed has never dila,- vered his loss ! Sunday evening, as Lord MUNCASTER and Mr. STIRLING were cJming into town in a tandem, on their return from classic avocations at Oxford, about the two-mile stone the wheel-horse getting his foot on a loose stone, came down and precipitated both into the road. His Lordship escaped n ishout it jury, but Mr. STIRLING, who was driving, received a slight contusion, being thrown with some violence under the heels of the leader, be was,however, not so flinch hurt as to prevent his resuming the rcius, and bring ing them in in a true J.:'au style.

T • IM Medicines advertised for the relief of Bilinus and other complaints of the Bowels, are so numerous., that the Proprietor of these Pills would not submit them to the notice of the Public, did be net believe them to be essentially different in their composition from those generally sold. Most, if not all the atlverthed Aperient Pills hate Aegis .s fur their basis, and it has been clearly ascertained that in many instances the use of Aloes is highly injurious; they almost invariably aggravate every case of Piles, and are frequently the priticiptd steams of inducing that painful complaint. Other public Medicines, it is to be feared, contain preparations of MESOURT or Armco:if, which, though invaluable in the hands of the Physician, are altogether inad- Toiasible in a Medicine designed for fatuity use. The Pills now recommended to the Public are entirely free from those objec tionable articles; they are carefully prepared with Drags of the very best quality ; and afthuugh by no means offered as a Specific for the cure of ever:, disease, they wiU, it is presumed, be found an excellent AVSKIJUIT FAMILY MLINCISZ. In Habitual Costive ness, Occasional Obstructions of the Bowels, Bilious Complaints, Head-Aches accompanied with Nausea or Sickness, and all disor ders arising from an overloaded state of the Stomaeh and alimen tary Canal, they will prove decidedly beneficial. They require no confinement, and possess this peculiar and important advantage, that the bowels are not left in a n:tined state by their use. They may be used by Adults and Children, and in every stage ! of Pregnancy. Prepared 2721 sold, wholesale and retail, by JANS3 -Wow), Dru •grst, .3:4 High-street, Uristol.
