The statem.nt made in snipe of the Journals re specting the salary required by that celebrated canto. trice for singing at the Opera-house this season, dots not appear to have been correct. We are authorised in the fullest manner to contradict it. and to state, that, Irons the time Madame Catalaiii had a theatre of her own, she has never demanded or accepted of 11fired salary. The only engagements she h•as made are those in which she has receised an inlerest in the receipts of the theatre, which has answered, throughout the Continent, the purposes of the Ma nagers exceedingly well. It is nut possible that Madame Catidani can sing in England this year, as she bias the long tour to wake of the cities of Ber lin. Warsaw.

In outer to 'obviate the rolbirelinit of expense, so likely to be dwelt upon by this Bank, it was proposed, in cosuseoloiroore of the opm,it►us of the first artists on the subject, that steel plates should he used instead of copper.

Mr. Sateen lamented touch that the Report had been considerably weakened by the late alterations upon the recommittal, but for the sake of the pub. tic utility which the Report, even a it then stood, was calculated to advance, he would propose its adoption. Mr. JAGo coincided in the same views. There was some opposition made to the Report by Members, who, however, did nut vote against its adoption, but on a subsequent motion made by the mine gentleman to have the Report piloted, and inserted in the volume of trausacumis of the Society, and to have a copy sent to the Coininissicmers, whose Report has already given so much satisfaction to the public mind, a member most strenuously opposed, priocipAy upon the ground that the Report was ll:emetic:ll, instead being groom led on real practical knowledge. This was flatly denied by the approvers of the Re. port, who stated, that it was fouistled am the testi mony of the first-rate artists, some of whose names were mentioned in the Report, and the iiiiiiutea of evidence were referred to, from which it a l ipeared that the plan was built upon the solid foundation of expermietit or practical knowledge, except in the lii•lutafell of the type, which it would require many month• to put to the trial.

A serious accident occurred yesterday in Hyde Park. Two young ladies, accompanied by a gen !lrina'', were tiding rapidly rou n d the flog, when, unfortunately, one of the ladies fell from her horse, and broke her leg. The gentleman wet at the same time thrown from his horse with some degree of vio lence, hut without experiencing any serious injury. Several permit's soon crowded round the unfortunate lady, and stared at her with uncommon mdifference. Softie carriages also drew up, but, notwithstanding the very painful and distressing situation of the poor sufferer, we lament to say, that lio gentleman was found sufficiently humane, nor lady sufficiesitly ge nerous, as to offer her a seat in a carriage. After some time the uneasy conveyance of a hackney coach was obtained, and into ibis the unfortunate young lady was with difficulty placed. On Thursday. the 28th iilt. a man calling him self William Witroi, was examined before the Mayor of Beverley, on a charge of vagrancy, and is suspected of having stolen a child. which he had with him when apprehended.
