It is Lot sn much the athisrtisenient as " The Di.;nitary of the Chinch tf England," that we would 'ina on t, as a thing to be laughed at. Whilt would be thought of a in in who wrote a poem, and undertook to speak to the effect #!f . i.t ? ant surely it is still azure ridiculous tor a Church DioNITAKv to pretend sp-ak to the effect of a sernion. It is a pity. however, that he does nut describe that effect of which he speaks in his advertisement. Perhaps his performanees has e been found of so composing a nature, that each might, in Anvil, be reg,arded as a spi ritual narcotic. The Die.NITA hY possibly did nut like to slate this, Jest it shold seem t h at the object of his Sermons, like that of a Ba• chawaliau song, was "To drive away dull cam." We recollect see ing this very advertisement some seven or eight years ago. We can not doubt but it was then publish, d by the S,1:11e 141.0tliti EA 13, Digni tary we mean, who now comes fan ward. In all probability he has the same cargo to diap •se ot which he had then. If this be the case, we mast certainly admit that he has had tune enough to ascertain their effect ; but after hawking his rubbish about for so many years, what does he mean by calling his Sermons original ? The following extract from no address of his Prussian Majesty, to his loving subjects will be perused with great delight by the admirers of Buoraparte, with whom it probably originated:\ " His Majesty expects, with the utmost confidence, that all his sub jects will blindly concur in fuifilling his paternal wishes." The following comments, on a passage in the last French Bulletins, display uncommon cleverness and erudition : Oudinot, after one of these encounters, was stabbed in the , *boulder by a Biscayan, and conveyed to iVilna, where the wound was considered as dangerous. A,sassimttion cannot be justified ; but the dagger of a Spiniard is loaded with the injuries of his nation. — The miseries of thousands, and tens of thou-ands, of peaceable, me offending, .confiding beings, savagely and most treacherously invaded by their sworn ally, might well give vigour to the Wow that saved his country and the world from one ravager more. It is singular, that among all the changes of the European States by Buonaparte, this should have been the first attempt at the life a a French Commanuer." The Times, Scpt. .9. All this is is very well, and feelingly written-, but it happens that the Biscayan that wounded Oudinot in the shoulder, is a shot out of a a . LUDICROUS GAZETTE ! OR, TLHNGS Ti BE LAUGHED AT!!

The upper side loxes, ludicrously denominated Pidgeon holes, have been tAen awav, as have the arches which urinal partitiotls in. the shilling gallery. 1 1h;s change. a s far as it ;erect, the gods, is judicious; but we cannot heh 6) !hinkitig their accommodation would have been ii , cteascd, had the s:de boxei which have been dosed been added to he.

The private boxes made last year by the orchestra, have been adorned with very elegantly constructed tops. They arc made in the Chinese fa-lion, and form very ornament,,l appendages to the Theatre. In other respects the house lOoks much as it did, with the exception of the uppt:r sa• loon, which has been snipped of its carpet. On Wedneiday last, a lady of the name of STIRLING, made her re-appearance at this theatre, where she pei formed some years ago under the name of Miss Dixort. she ha , since, we believe, acted in the country, and sung at Vaux. hall during the season which- has just closed. She as sumed the part of Polly in The BrErgar's Opr ro, and was re ceived with considerable applause. tier tigure is good, hey countenance plc.tsing, though not marked with much ex pression, and her voice possesses a plaintive softness which somewhat reminded us of the rich and deep mellowness of (4RASSINt's tones. She acts without much spit it, but w,th intelligence, and as far as we may judge from the nature ut• her exertions on Wednesday, although an unambitious, wilt prove an interesting and useful performer. She was cu cored in several of her songs. INCLEDON .also re-appeared, for the first time these two years, in Captain Macheath, and received the loud welcome of a crowded house. Ills voice has entirely lost that grating harshness which we apprehended, when we heard him last, preceded the total decay of his vocal powers. They now seem renovated in all their strength and mellowness. Ills low tones are rich and full,' and his high notes soft and clear. His execution is more tasteful, and, if he gave fewer of hip thundering bursts of voice, he blended unusual delicacy with expres- ion in his ornamental flights. Mrs. CHARLES KEMBLE was greeted with much satisfac tion in Lucy, and displayed her wonted spirit. She might, however, play the shrew without that almost incessant cull ing of her nose, which disturbs the harmony of her whole countenance to such a pitch, that her looking-glass must tell her is really disagreable, and is even too far strained for the jealous and feeling, though peevish Lucy. On Friday " The Foundling of the Forest" was performed to a very respectable house. YOUNG, in the Count de Vol , mold, received a most hearty welcome when he first came on, and his subsequent performance caused those demonstrations of approbation to be frequently repeated. His exertions have given this character a degree of importance which, but for him, would never have belonged to it; and nothing could be more successful than his delineation of it on this 10 1
