With a specimen of Miss A. Score's musical taste and skill. This Lady played an air on the piano tate. which was deservedly applauded. Miss 51.1 CAI; UST then advanced to the front of the plat form at the extremity of the hall, and cornineneed the reading of Mr. BUCK It'S tragedy of The Ifu liams—s play perhaps heifer qualified for the closet than the stags. During the first act, Miss M. up. vented to yield rather too atisionsly to the ordeal she Itaef to pass; this anxiety evidently operated upon her recitation, which was in many parts tremulous, and unmarked by any of that emphasis which parti ,•,l!:ir passages required. The generous and cheering applAise she received at length gave confidence to 10-r pow, ri. nhirls she exercised. as she advanced I hrnitg I: the play, with admirable effect: Her and distinct enunciation, her energy, and the waves of her action, gave the fullest effect to some or the finest and most poetical passages in the tragedy, and would alone redeem from oblivion a p:ay better destined for recitation in this manner, from the nature of its merits, than for exciting paddle attention through the medium of the stags., by the attracsian of its story, or the force and variety of its chan eter. lit the second act, in the scene between Manfredi and Angelina. Miss Mscsul.Elr gave full scope to her powers, and displayed a just and discriminating knowledge of the feelings of the author, and ex• rated the warmed and most universal approbation. In the COISCIIICtiIIg scene. of the second act, where AP)rnio questions his officers about the whispers re speeting the cause of Ins exile and present determi. vat Ism, the animation of her recitation was admira ble 411:1 effective in the highest degree. The same ettragy and propriety marked her delivery of the scere between foortanu and Scipio, in the third :act ; and Allunso mud &wasp), in the fourth act, and in otter Prominent passages in the tragedy. Miss SCOTT, between the acts, played some fa. enorite pieces on the piano -forte, which were much adutifrot. The great room in the Freemasons' Tavern was crowded, and we were glad to observe the attend ance of a number of Ladies of fashion. With such distinguished patronage. Miss MAcAVLEY cannot fail to have her merits justly appreciated, and we trust rewarded with an adequate recom pel:ce.

The Committee had sera the twee renter., who were perfectly satisfied with the arrangements !imposed to them. They had sad also got the consent of the bowl holders to the ateloont of 20,0001. out of 24,0001, and he had no duelist the reenaiaiug somber would congeal is a few drys. They found it their duty to state to the new renters, that the security which the taw afforded elsoulel be granted to them; mud it was but saw that they should be satisfied in this way. If the powers of the Committee were continued, it would he necessary that atwitter Meeting should be held, hut They could not at present fix on any particular day. In order to prevent any impression of partiality iu leasing out the theatre, it *meld he proper to fix a day beyond which nu tender would be received. In deed, as far as the Committee were commented. tin impu tation of the hood could attach, as their only object was to let the theatre to the best advantage, both as to rent and se. rarity. The security was a very great object, sued the Committee were deternsiard that it should he unohjectius able. The Committee aboald cootioete to receive sealed proposals op 'lo a gives day next week, at which pr. riod the lessee should be declared. He felt satisfaction is stating, that the creditors, to the amount of 29,265/. had come into the proposals of the Committee, the whole amount being 32,065/. and there was no doubt but the others would else assent. Ile felt it leis dnly,as well as • plea. more, to state, that the large antenna already received was mainly owing to the munificent kindness of his Royal High. ness the Prince Regent, who g may patrouised their 'ler tions.--(Applosse )—The Duke of York and Prince Leo pold had also assisted them very handsomely. Prom one only of the Royal Family bad no answer beets received. Mr. Rostra urged the necessity of the Proprietors coming forward in order to complete tie proposed sous as soon as possible; am whoever took the Theatre, would respire a con siderable time to decorate it, as well as to engage a sew set of performers ' a very excellent company of which could now be obtained. Covent Gardeti was to open the oth September, and it would he • great disadvantage to Drury-lane were the former to get the start of it. Resides, they ought to recollect there were • great number of persona looking with anxiety to she opening of the 'Theatre, as it was their only means of support. He wished it to be publicly known that thus was a loan, not a subscription. The latter impression had, un doubtedly, kept many persons from coming forward. It was . tkeo - suoved . and carried, that the Select Committee should continue to receive sealed proposals fur natio' t►e Theatre for a term of 10 or 14 years, op to taeo o'clock on Tim/Way next, and that then the lessee was to be named. Me. ROSINs said, it was necessary to allow those who made tenders before to amend their offers, if they thought fit to du so. Mr. Alderman WOOD war of the same opinion. Persons tiling 11w house fur 10 or 14 years would be inclined to give a greater rent than if it was to be let fur seven year. only. Mr. WaZOUT wished to know bow the private boxes were to be disposed of, when the sums fur which they were secu rity were paid. Mr. CALCRAFT said they would then form part of the ge serail interest of the concern.

He could assure the Meeting that no communication bad bee. made by the Committee of the monist of any tenders made to them. A Proprietor said he had beard of the sum offered by Mr. Kean—why was his offer know'', and the others conceded? Mr. CALCRAFT....."

Orr limits will aid enable us to make extracts from this work, nor could any which it would he in our power so make do justice to the extraordinary merits of the Author, who was a self-taught man, that emigrated a few years ago from Scotland to America. Like his countryman Mac, he possessed a powerful constitution and great mental dour, which rose superior to all the difficulties it encoun tered, and like him, though not by open violence, he fell an early victim lo the iatense labour of his occupations This work must, from its owls intrinsic merits, command great attention from the lovers of science and art. America. though the seat and grave of Wtt.sou'a actin., the centre of a man's labours, who, unaided and unsupported, largely added to her stock of Natural History, yet seems to have forgotten him when something more than idle panegyric ma expected at the conclusion of his labours. America is not as yet the beat soil for the culture of Literature and the Arts; and we were not surprised to learn from Mr. Mktg/A Biographer the following fact, speakiag of his patronage in America : -- " Of all bar literati, her amen of benevolence, taste, avid riches, SEVENTY only, to Ilse period of the Author's decease, had the liberality to coantenance him by a subscription. more than half of whom were tradesmen, artists, and those of the middle class of society ; whilst the little city of New Ortesne, it the short space of 17 days, furnished 60 subseribers to the American Ornithology !

(IMPORT 0111111.11VATOILIN JULY 110. Cloudy and hazy weather has pre►ented is fur se►eral nights from making further obser►ations on the real path of this celestial phenomenon of general admiration. On Now. day night (July 12), its nucleus appeared much larger and more globular than on any former evening; and by t►e help of ■ four and a half feet Achromatic telescope, a star of Ibe sixth magnitude was seen through its tail, which is now diminished considerably hi length stud splendour. The ful. lowing obser►ations will determine the present position and progressi►e motion of the Comet since it was first seen bent; and from which it may be satisfactorily and easily pro►ed by a common celestial Globe, that it bas passed its perihelion : deg. min. rec. July 9d, North Polar distance 46 8 3 Distance from Mobile 40 0 0 Distance from Capella 19 15 0 July 14th, North Pular distance 37 7 0 Distance from Ruble 96 44 0 Distance from Capella 44 35 0 Hence it will be seen that the Polar distance of the Comet has decreased 9 deg. 1 min. 3 sec. in ele►en days. Observations on the comet, at Shrewsbury, on Thursday, July Bth. at 11 min. p.m. mean time :- 4 , The distances of the comet from the Pole Star, and from Capills, were taken with au octant. and its place found sr below:— " North Polar distance, 46 deg. 5 min.

It appears that the comet had then gone in its orbit about 71 degrees in five days, directing its course towards the ,winters in Ursa Major ; having diminished its Polar distance nearly 51 degrees, and increased its right ascension :25 mill."
