SreaND DAY.—The fineness of the weather has evidently induced many families to visit Winchester at this interesting period. Early this morning nu merous carriages ♦ete seen-coming in at the several entrances of the city; not less than 800 persons were in the Cathedral at the performance of The Mafia. Me whole orchestra, vocal and instrumental, exerted themselves to the utmost of their abilities, and we never witnessed so splendid and sublime a spectacle as this venerable fabric presented no this occasion— nor do we believe there was ever warmer approbation bestowed on the performance of this Divine Oratorio of this great Master, as was generally expressed at that of this morning.—Tbe collection at the doors was considerable. DRURY-LANE tHEATRE. The excellent Comedy of The Hlr s r e it w e was acted here last night. Dowrow ' s Dr. Uis a very admirable and edifying performance; and yet his jovial and hearty characters are his best—his demure and hypocritical ones ~re only his second best. His Dr. Cantwell is not so good as his Major Sterpes. or Isis Sir Anthony Akalitte,. but still it is very good. Their excellence consists in giving way to the Omni tion of his feelings of social earnestness, or vain glo rious ostentation ; the excellence of this in the syste .matic concealment of his inmost thoughts and put.- poses. Cardwell sighs out his soul with the simian. clicly formality of a piece of cloekaw-rk, and exhi bits the encroachments of amorous importunity under a mask of still life. The locks of his hair are combed with appropriate sleekness and unpretending humility over his forehead and shoulders; his face looks godly and gsr,esAj f his person and mind are well forti fi ed in a decent su it of plain broad cloth, sad the calves of his legs looritoot and saintlike in stockings of dark pepper-and-salt fleecy hosiery. Bitter slll2llel contend with talk' tears; the wLining tones of the woven ' tick, with the insolence of success, and the triumph of his unbridled rage in the last Act over his phleg matte hypocrisy is complete. He was admirably supported by Mrs. SPAWN, as old Lally Lambert, and by OlSSallif. as Mawarm. 'this last character is as hose and dangling AS the sails of a windmill, and is puffed up and set in motion by one continuous blast of folly and fanaticism.

The Margate Theatre prospers beyond all pre-' cedent this season.—Mrs. BARTLItY has appeared in Portia, Lady Teazle, and Mrs. Oailey. —The Farce of the Innireper's Daughter has been got up, at 4 great expense, and the very interesting part of Mary sus- tamed with the utmost feeling and effect by Miss &DIM. Unaffected innocence could not have found an abler representative. The exterior of the Inner Temple-hall has been completely renovated and restored to its original, beauty. The Terrace is also repairing for the ac commodation Of the belles and beaux of Temple-bar. I TZA.—The following Eulogy on Tea is from The New• Yori Commercial Alvertiter of the 20th eh.

FENNER, Paternoster-row I We mean to devote the present Article to the n. rit of a Wot k which as yet is only. in agitation. but whit' if executed crerespondeotly with its professed view, and intentions, will form one of the'mnst important additions to literature that have been made in moder times. Ever since the publication of the French En cyclopedie, the latter term has become popular fur r Dictionary of Arts and Sciences. Like most popular terms, however, it has not been strictly confined within the limits of its definition; but has been mid, to com nrehend much miscellaneous matter, without refe ranee to any distinct system; and from similar elute ;t las often omitted important articles, and given to those which were inserted very disproportionate de l ',,ees of eztension'and importance. , There are two modes of arrangement for such a w irk, each possessing its peculiar advantages, the Alphabetical and Philosophical. A Dictionary is generally looked upon so much as a work of reference. at d the business ot referring to authorities commonly adapts of so little delay and reflec:ion, that for the same reason that alphabetic writing has in most na dons prevailed over all attempts at the formation of a' philosophical character, alphabetic arrangement has generally prevailed over the arrangement par ordre dos ;swim:. Nevertheless it is obvious that the two modes of arrangement are not wholly irreconcileable; we might perhaps say, th t by their union alone can rtch a woik be rendered perfectly applicable to pur poses both of instruction and of daily use. This is 'the object prcposed in the Prospectus of the Jusry rlopedia Itfaropolitaoa. The philosophical arrange ment must of ci.urse predominate, the other must be merely auxiliary; by means of the one we shall be enabled to understand a term scien , ifically or histori cally, by means of the other we shall be at once di. rem," to that part of the Circle of Sciences, or that point in the Stream of History, where its import is developed. and its relations are explained. It is a just observation of Bacon's, that the strength of all sciences consists in their harmony, each sup. porting the other. This profound remark he indeed • wakens, as WAS too much his custom, by a fooltigb and inapplicable simile. 44 Were it not bettei; 4 %ya he, " for a man in a fair room to set up papyri/10, v of branching candlestick of lights, than to gq abot with a sod/ watch candle into every corner o which we might answer in his own formal int,. I , that is thereafter as it may be ; it y ou want on ly to hunt in corners, your watch candle may serve you best; but it you ask whether a great light will illu. initiate a room better than a small one, methinks your question is right simple. Setting aside therefore the simile, and reverting to the important truth, that the sciences mutually strengthen and support each other, we may observe, that is roost Encyclopalias this ob ject has been lost sight of; no general view has been taken of the powers and faculties of the human mind, r from whithi as from a vantage ground, we might trace their mutual relations and dependencies. There ba. been no prima P/siforeishia, as a General disposing and commanding the whole order of the battle ; but we have seen troops here and there, marching we knew no whither, or stationary for no intelligible purt.iite. Tire eonsequences.of this neglect of the harmony of Ahoofkireist are well pointed out Id tbe-hospectus be- Tate us w The Inapplicability,'Esays diriirriter, 44 of a strictly stioseijc method to a modern'Encyclopwdia, Such as shall include the whole of its contents, has led to the abandonment of all pi inciple of ratified arrange ment ;and it may be safely asserted of all our Univet sal Dictionaries hitherto, that the chief difference between them, in respect of their it/as, consists in the more or less complete disorganization o f th e Science and Sys tematic Arts s now retaining certain integral portions of the system as integers, forming each an entire trea tise, but resigning these treatises to the places seve rally assigned to them by the accident of their initial letters; and now splintering all alike into their frac tional parts, with an arrangement merely alphabeti cal. Nor has the imperfection rested here. This very alphabetical position was but too frequently detcr mined by the caprice or convenience of the compiler; inasmuch as the division of parts into minor parts had no settled limit. Thus, one technical or scientific term included suits subordinate, and to be explained in the same article(soinseti mes more, sonik ti Ines fe er) other terms : acid the arrangement became neither pro perly scientific, nor properly alphabetical. It bad, the inconvenieneief of both, without the advantages of eithet." if The results are such as might have been expect. td, in part from the necessity of sueh.plans, and in part from the interference of individual whim, care lessness, and procrastination,. to which they afforded the amplest opportoniues, and even frequent tempta tion. Numerous articles of important information will be found where the reader could have least expected to find them; while articles 'et equal interest (either be. cause they were forgotten, or because the references to them were made by one writer and the articles referred to written by another, of whose plan they formed no part) are in many cases not to be found at all." .4 A second result is, that an Universal I)ictionary so constructed, equally with an EncyclopmJia the most methodically arranged, requires alphabetical references; but with a two-old inconvenience, from which the latter would be free. First, the references, instead of being collected in one amsrepriarindix,or at least in sane known portion of the work, are scat tered throughout the whole: and this is no slight an. noyance when a scientific term happens to h.ave many synonymes, as for instance, Azute, Nitrogen, Pillogis. ticated Air, &c. Secondly, the references must reed. , tuallyleadthe readerthrough as many volu mes,as those other words happen lobe placedin, which are necess ay ' to be previoady understood in order to a tolerable coll. prehension of the teets , first sought. Of the troth of this remark, and , of ants extent to which it it tau*, every reader who with to acquire a general know ledge of the physical or physiological terme r that are now so often - introduced in caravels .tion and po pular literature, m sy readily convinee himself. He need only read through any one number of a thilo. sophical Magazine, referring to' n EncyclopzJia so constructed, for the purport of each word which he does not understand, and practical proofs will occur with more than sufficient frequency.' fo A third evil, malting from the same causes, is the utter want of all proportion in the space occu pied by each a r t i c l e , rela t ively either to theimport anee of the particular subject, or to the promised "mite of tie whde work. Elena ton it arises that the Propriefrrs arc in Tien I red.7ced to a choke , tt evil.. l'he w 'rk most • trended fir beyond the firm i•spect•ititi . lie purch.ficts, tr. the arts ties assig re.i t 4 the lam rv• lomes l i s t b e e , , fled in scanty and superfir;al b con.

We might look is v iin 1.. r any intelligible reason, why t4ir article is allowed 'to branch wit on all sites, iit full lutiviance of limb and foliage, while other. of equal, and not seldom of far greater, interest are 10. duced to a mere sterile deftytition:" ' And le:sibyl sinalfe , i dwarfs, in narrow room Throng numberless.' " Thus in one of our most popular Encyclif x!i a word of b irharons, or perhaps of sportive 6 o:cup es 'even or eight ultra s rite spa. •.-.• assigned to NATURAL rueot.ncv, which is distr.: sed to our astonishment, in a very inadequate tion of a line and a half, and v..itlimit even a single reference to any other part of the work." " It requires but a moment's reflection to be con vinced, that the most voluminous Eneyclor rdia which has yet appeared, is incomparably too nariuw to con tain an Universal History of Knowledge in its present state s and that the authors and compiler. wail have satisfied all rational expectations if only nothing shall be found ercluded from any other cause than the higher importance of that which has been admitted ; in or.:er. that on all subjects the ends of general inforinatinn at lead may Se accomplished. W here, therefore, selec tion is so imperiously required, there mutt be an equal necessity that certain fixed and inteli Bible principles should be pre-established." he &Isms of the proposed Encycloi Clere fore divides itself into Four grand chymous, the first comprehending the pure Sciences, tie second the mixed Sciences, the third History, and the f •urth Lexicography : and the whole is to be preced d by an laireludion, setting forth the elements - of Metho dology, and is :o be followed by a.. Index cont lining the alphabetical iefeeences. "'Thus," says the Edi. :tor, 4 6 after its' Completion, the work will appear as an orderly Digest Of All' the great point* of human knowledge, and, notwithstanding it, cumpar4 lively moderate extent-andc:price, must form the most per.. feet system of intellectual Instruction and Entertain nsent, that has been hitherto submitted to the Friends and Patrons of Art, Science, History, and gcneial Literature in Gteat Nritain." Such an undertaking cannot but have the good wishes of all who are well disposed to the real pro gress of knowledge.—tkssuredly it will be no mean subject of congratulation to the British Public, if ti:e.e lair pumas should be canted, as we earnestly hope they may be, into full effect.
