Those who live by the " sweat of the brain" only know the peculiar delight which the King's Theatre aff .rds us on Sattuday nights. Sitting in its pit, our horizon bounded by a circle of brightness, beaming from " things most cottly"---diattionds that could lend a light even to fashionalle deformity, and eyes that could illumine even un fashionable Fes:mu—we feel the wrinkles contracted on our brow by the labours of six preceding days relaxing into "sweetest drughtlessness." " legion of honour" was seated round us—Peers and Commoners—and the spells of our enchantincut were bro'zen only by the well-known features of some senator, which carried our fancy to the graver scenes of our midnight labour.; ; but still there is a pleasure in the thought that greatness can thus be levelled with ourselves, and that even the deeply-expressive face, " fulmine's minister," of the lofty pillar of Whiggism— the high commanding head of Earl Grey seems to stoop under the influence of pleasures which we feel our selves. Well, hut were the audience the only wielders of this "mighty magic?" Not so. We knew the influence of Bonini's " incantation." Would that in external graces she had more spells to bind us! but we are unjust; although ' her eye speaks not " sic things," she has a syren influence, and 'twas felt. We well remember the pain Velluti's first notes gave us—pity: a more pleasing emotion succeeded, ; and we now feel, in unison with his audience of Saturday evening, an intense interest for this child of early misfor ; tune. His voice, we know not whether it is from the power of association, sometimes has the " dying falls" of a I pathos almost distressing. The " dtsperato," the " se rem," the " intrepido," the " turbato," never rise above the " con angus'ia." However, none of the solos were very effective. The duet of "Il teller° affetto," in the ' last scene, and the quartatto'of " Sogni viderti," were lA lowed by the long end p.overfolly obstreperous " millioni" of " Bravi, brarissitui." Nicholson's flute has made the orchestra complete. DIORAMA. 1 b first question that offered itst4f, of course, was, bow . is this mass of superfluous paper to be rztlueetl, at:.l what are the menu Of NM effeciusily getting rid of it ? The THE INTERIOR OF ROSLYN CHAPEL, AND TIIE • CITY OF ROUEN. The Chapel of 11nsie - erinksanong the most curious and beautiful remains of antiquity, it is of Gothic con struction, being the only part finished of an intended col legiate church. The representation of the interior is given in , the present Diorama with an effect that is perfectly magical ; not only is it admirable as a correct delineation of the object which it professes to place before the spectator, but it unfolds the true principles of the art of painting, and from its great excellence in this respect we would re. commend it to the diligent observation both of the mist and the amateur. There is a management throughout the whole that marks a feeling truly poetical in the mind of the fainter. Tfie deep and sombre tone of colour ing which pervades every part is finely suited to the repose of the scene, while at the same time the different effects of light as itifalls on the different parts of the building, are I given with an exactness that cannot be excelled. M. Dane zees has shown himself a perfect muter of his art in all its details—his tints arc the colouring of na ture—there is no attempt at embellishment--no straining after eff.Tt—he leaves the skilful disposition of each part to work out the harmony of the whole, and his success is complete. He seems to exercise an entire dominion over the powers of light and shadow. The evanescent intro duction of the sun's rays through the open door on the right, the lively and animating hue with which the trees, visible through the window, are illuminated, and the dis. tinctures with which every part of the interior is enlivened to the very end of its perspective, is inimitably executed. It called forth from the spectators an instinctive and unani mous expression of applause. The dull cobweb tinge of the glass window which surmounts the door at the extremity of the chapel is one of the finest pieces of colouring we ever witnessed. IThen locking at the transverse beam of timber on the left, and the cord thrown carelessly over it, the eye is deluded to believe it real. The artist has here shown great judgment in thus introducing thisobject for the purpose of drawing off the light, and relieving the depth of shadow in which the rope is made to disappear. The architectural parts are executed with great precision • indeed the whole representation exhibits such a proof Of the power of art, as we think is never likely to he exceeded. The View of the CW.y 1?) . Rouen. painted by M. BOLTON, far excels any of the rural scenery which the Diorama has yet presented to the public. It is painted with great force, and finished with extraordinary eare . and capacity. The tone of colour is rich, mellow, and well contrasted. The introductidn of the rainbow is happily managed, and the correspondent distribution of light and shadow is uncom monly well preserved. The transparency of the attno sphere is among the prominent beauties of this paintin; as are likewise th e d ense ra i n y c l ou d s , w hi c h are coloureti with so mach truth as to appear actually surcharged with electric fluid. The surrounding country of Rotten is so highly picturesque, that the artist could Hardly have chosen a scene better suited to his powers. The room was crowded on Saturday throughout the day, and we have no hesitation in predicting that this will be the most profitable Diorama—excellent as the former have been—which the proprietors have yet exhibited. NEW BVIII.DINOS AND limeys's stem—The building speculations in the suburbs of the metropolis are still con tinuing to an unprecedented. extent. The whole of Mill bank, from Vauxhall-bridge to the Waterworks at Chelsea, will, in the course of two or three years, be covered with houses, a contract having been entered into fur the erection of 5,000. The embankment of the river has already com menced, and the ground is raised, and hollows filled up to a height of five feet above the oil level. This has been found necessary on account of the marshy nature of the ground, RR also to secure a ; T oo.' drainage. awl the work is now carrying on at great labour and expense, the rubbish necessary for the purpose being brought in barges from distant places. At Chelsea considerable improvements are in contemplation, particularly in the vicinity of Lord Grosvenor's new canal, adjoining to which a basin or reser voir for the Water Company is in agitation, and the site of the once celebrated Renotagh Gardens willabortly he cover ed with buildings. On anti about the Five Fields several new streets are formed, and squares and crescents will speedily appear about this spot. From thence through Kensington many thousand howlers are built, and as many more in progress. Towards Hammersmith, Chis wick, and adjoining places, the same extensive preparatii.tis are going on. These alterations wiil increase to a great ex tent the properties of Earl Grosvenor, Lord Holland, and Lord Kensington. fu ti 4 ....... -...... .. r .ss ..-.. •' t too torrtgo as wclr as to toe in toe ottleci wlllull II pft,lCa.aa.ar 1...5. csv,‘",, am; aiv.“AaUf, ••••-•••• •••:,..••• ••••••• sa...c.a.a 4•• au,. a tagacs. wa arc avlavve Ml{ not object to those appointed professors of anatomy at these placed. rt. , i t 1 . . . .

The Cerman Papets are flied with the details of an episcopal s:,stem for the Protestant Church in Prussia, and with remarks upon it by the editors. The debate on Friday evening in the House 1 Lords on .the state of the currency was carried on wt..h eon side-able interest ; but, except in what fell from Lord Lrvi Groot, nothing passed during the discussion which tn:ew much light en this interesting subject. In truth, i: is a subject which does not admit of much assistance from the illustration of abstract principles. The mass of i dividual interests which, make up the concerns of a great commercial nation are not of a nature to bend to the rules of theory, or to be governed by the closetted veditations of the political Economist. We have ■ll a•o::g admitted that, taken in the abstract, their rill eiples may be correct enough, but, like many other no t ore that may be philosophically true, the practical ap plication of them may produce effects exactly the reverse of what beforehand was expected from them. The present cr'sis is not the one fitted for experiments, more especially fu- any experiments on a grand scale, which of necessity compel those who would try them to depart from expe -1 ecce. It may be that the beaten track is not the best track ; but still where, as in the present case, any wide and sadden deviation front it may put everything to the liarard, we bold that measure to be the most prudent which pats least to the risk. It has been said—and we believe it --that the commercial distress in which the country is at 'mien' involved is, to a certain degree, temporary; but t;•is we likewise believe, that if any improvident measure LI way of remedy is introduced in the interval, it may Live the effect of rendering that distress permanent, by tempting all those resources by means of which it might t 'timately base been surmounted. 'l'l:at the paper currency of the country has been of late y eras increased far beyond the amount required by the' , legitimate demands of trade, is a fact which all must admit. That this exorbitant increase of paper has had exactly the same effect in raising prices as an influx of gold and silver to the same amount would have bad, is likewise a fact which cannot be dotthted ; and it has vrareover this particular evil, that it makes this rise of prices local, and the effect is therefore more cxclusitely and deeply felt. If the augmentation of prices had arisen from the produce of the mines, that produce would have . ri bu ted itself more or less throughout the whole com mercial Continent of Europe, and this augmentation of the precious metals would have occasioned a similar and pro portional rise of money prices in all the articles of produc tive industry, and the general level would thus have been prcaerved; whereas this creation of artificial wealth, owing to the over-abundant issue of country bank . parr, has had the effect of raising the price of goods and commodities in this coastry beyond the excessive disproportion which they alraady bore to those of other countries—an effect which 'I could not fail to throw so much of additional diZeulty in the way of our foreign commerce, and to aggravate all those disadvantages with which otaf merchants have to, contend. This is an evil of great magnitude; it is one that could not but impress itself on the urgent attention of Parliament. and to lead, as at length it has done, to the' prompt and serious consideration of the means best calm latel.to ramove it. first measure adopted has been the limitation of the paled during which it was permitted to issue one and two pound notes. This has the elect of making gold and silver essen tial to smaller payments, and of keeping a commensurate quantity of specie always in circulation. Those in Parlia ment who object to this measure may fairly be called upon to suggest a better. Its practical tendency, however, will not fail to be discussed beyond the walls of Parliament, and with an earnestness proportioned to the extensive itiee rests which it involver. It is quite clear that orices can never return to their natural kid until the present vitiated state of the currency is reformed ; and this it never can be while an excessive issue of small notes is permitted to displace the coin which would otherwise be current, and which, being as useful fur all the im.nediatc purpose of trade, will—so long as the credit of the bankers issuing them can be upheld—be readily received in lieu of it. But it is natural hetes to ask, would it bare been wise or prudent, in the present state of the country, to have at oat suppressed these smaller local notes, instead of giving the parties three years to withdraw them :tom circulation? If .his period of co:ttiiance was riven to ol.viate any ill cons:quences that way be likely to arise from taking diem out of circulation within that time, it seems obvious that no advantage is likely to accrue from this extension, inasmuch as the gene ral discredit into which these miller local notes are brought by this measure will make it useless to issue them. This result might have been foreseen; but it has been :udiciously remedied-11s far as it is capable of remedy—by not restricting the issue of one and two pound Bank of Engi.o.d notes till Oztubtr. This measure has been un justly charged upon 3linisters as an abandonment of their princiy.l...; but it is, in fact, an expedient judiciously con trived to provide against any interruption of its genii effect. Whether the requisite quantity of specie can be procured iu the . tnsnitfacturin: . ; districts fur the weekly payment of workmen, is very doubtful. It is here that the difficulty will l:ress heaviest ; what course it may take is more than we can predict; but, unless some arrangements are pre ptretl to fill up this vacuity in the circulating tovilintn, ste fear it will occasion very serious einbarass milts, it being scarcely possible, iu the present cireum starces of the country, that t h e tprovineial banker should be able to substitute gold and silver fur local notes to the extent required. " It is one of the finest problems in legislation," says Mr. Br sa r, " and which often engaged my thoughts while I to:lowed that profession, what the state ought to take upon itself to direct by the public wisdom, and what it ematt to leave, with as little interference as possible, to individual discretion'." I his is indeed a problem that mry well copse the attention of all great statesmen ; roe can it come recommended on higher authority, for no man knew better than Mr. Boats bow much the prospe rity of a nation depends on the true solution of it. • Thought, and Details on Sanity. CITY, SATCRDAT Evnrixo. The Stock Markets assumed a very different appearance this morning to that which they have had for some time past. Comparative cheerfulness seemed to .reign in the City, and au additional impulse was given to the vaunt. dons in the Stocks, by the debates in Parliament last night, with respect to the issues of notes by the Bank of Eng land ; and the Funds, which yesterday displayed much elasticity, lave experienced a further advance of about per rnt. in the absence, however, of any large purchases of Exchequer Bills on the part of the Di. rectors of the Bank, which remained steady up to the close of business at about par. This not being a regular transfer day, speculation has been confined chiefly to bar gains. Consols for Account opened this morning at 75i, and es great was the eagerness of those to turn their ac counts who had sold in the middle of the week at quota tions varying between 74 and 73, that before 1Y o'clock Consols for Account rose to 761 ; at this advance there was a trifling re-action, but in the course of the afternoon they were sold at 761, and for the April Account 771; at four o'clock another effort was made to lower the prices, but at that hour the nearest quotation of Consuls fur Account was 761, and for April 77. In private bargains subsequently a further improvement from 1 to 1 per cent. took place. The advance has been equally rapid, and was more ex tensive in the New Four per Cents. which have risen from 93. to 95.1. The Reducul 31 per „Cents. opened this morn ing at si:, but closed at 85i. Bank and India Stock ire also much higher than yesterday; the former has been sold at 203, and the latter at 4:111. The current rate of interest of money in the Stock Mar. ken, which, in the middle of the week, was full 5 per cent. has to-day been uuiy 3 per cent. There was a rapid rise in the foreign as well as in the English Matket. Colombian Bonds reached 46i 74; Mexican 6 per cents. .591 60; Russian Bonds 77i ti ; Greek ditto 173 It 4 . The rise in Spanish Bonds has been inure rapid ;and extensive than that in any other Security. The old Bones were dcne yesterday at WI. This was their closing price; but they bad previously touched a a higher quotation. There is decidedly a more favourable opinion entertained with regard to Shares, and those that are formed on sound bases are improving steadily but ult rapidly. WINDSOR, SVXDAY, Fry. 19.

Copy of the Resolution referred to in the Report : Resolved—That from the documents submit ed to us by Mr. Brogden and Mr. Bent, relative to the , number of Shares or In terest which they held in the Arigna Company at its formation, it is the unanimous opinion of the Committee, that thesepentle. men lied good and just grounds for believing that the sum of 10471., paid over to them by 3lr. Henry Clarke, could only sere from the sale °IR portion of the Shares allotted to them ; and that such was their belief', is confirmed by Mr. Lent having purchased, immetluately after the 10471. um paid to him, 100 Shares, at 141. ills. premium per Share, for which he paid 1.43 1 1/. to replace those w hich he believed to have horn sold for 1,0471. ; and that they were kept, by certain of the Directors, in utter Ignorance of the fact, that the aunt of 15,0001. had been abstracted from the funds of the Company: and it further appears to this Committee, that as soon as Mr. Brogden and Mr. Bent discovered this disgraceful pro. ceeliu.g, they not only endeavoured to investigate it at the Beard of Direct . m., but did immediately give information thereof to certain of the Proprietors, with whom they have ever since invariably co operated, its order to do justice to the Company by subsequent pro. ccedings; and they likewise f , el themselves called upon to declare. that Alr. Brogdeu and Mr. Bent have, throughout the whole of these proceedings, acted with the strictest honour and integrity. and that the Company is indebted to them for their services. and for continuing in the Direction, from which they would have re. tired, lied they not beets solicited to remain in it, in order to pro. teat the interest of the Proprietors." After a good deal of discussion, the Report and Resolution were adopted. By an Order in Council, dated the 13th inst., which was inserted in Saturday's Gm:elle, it appears that the calling out of the English Militia for training and exercise will be suspended during the present year. (hi Saturday, the despatches were doled at the East India House, and delivered to the Pursers of the following ships; viz. Duchess of Atboll, Captain Edward Maxwell Daniel ; and Thomas Coutts, Captain Alexander Chrystie, for Bombay and China. The late Charles Incledon was a native of St. Kevern, in Cornwall, and descended from a respectable family in the IV4 st of England. At an early age he was placed in the choir of Exeter Cathedral, and studied music under Jackson, the celebrated composer, which situation he quitted ; and entered on board the Formidable man of war, of 98 guns, under the command of Captain since near-Ad miral Ckland. On the `Vest India station be chauged his ship, and served on board the Raisonable, of 6 t guns, then commanded by Lord Harvey, where his vocal powers and sprightliness of character endeared him to the officers and men. dui this ship he attracted the note of Admiral Pigot, Commander of the Fleet, who frequently sent for Incledon, and sang catches and glees with him and Admiral Hughes. He returned to England in 1783. when Admiral I'igot, Lord Mulgrave, and Lord Harvey, gave him letters of recommen dation to Mr. Sheridan and the late Mr. Colman. His first appearance on the stage was at Southampton, in A/pAonso, in The castle of Andalusia, in 1784. In the next year he first appeared at Bath, as Belville, in llosisa, on the same night that Miss Brunton, afterwards Mrs. Merry, made her first dramatic essay in The Grecian Daughter, and his subsequent career as a singer at Vauxhall, and at Covent garden Theatre, is too well known to need relation.

(Cheers). lie begged to cell their attorion to this particularly. To these regulations there was a sort of preamb:e. It set forth that the Court of Examinee, thought it their duty to promote the cultivation of squid chiturgical knowledge, and to discountenance praetieee which had a contrary tendency. (Laughter.) And then came a regulation which went on to orate, that front and after a certain date the only schools of surgery which would be recognized by the Court. would be those of London, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen. (Great laughter.) It was worthy of remark how loosely and inac. curately this regulation was worded. In its composition and lan. gusgc it wits as mean and contemptible as it was base and odiou. in its spirit and enactments. (Cheers.) The Court of Exami. noes were anxious to promote the cultivation of sound chirurgial knowleage. S mod chirurgical knowledge! (Laughter.) Coat. mon people were accustomed to coutrast knowledge with ignorance. Either individuals possessed knowledge or they did not. He bat heard of rotten timaer, (Laughter.) and a rotten apple; (Laughter) but what was to make knowledge unit and when it was once required? (Much laughter.) When they did not understated the beginning of a sentence, they were told to take the context. If they proceeded they would find that candidates for the diploma would be required to produce certificates of having regularly at. tended three winter coutses, at least, of anatomical lectures; anil, also, one or more winter err.:-.s of chiruegicil lectures. It de. pended then on the season of the year in which knowledge was at.. quired, whether it was to be deemed sound or not. and that only would be recognized as be 1g so which was amptirad during the winter. (Laughter.) And, further, the sound knowledge eould only be given by the schools of London. Dublin, &e. appointed by the college, while the unsound knowledge was to be that waielt he imparted by—in fact, any body else. (Laughter.) Really *llea men began to legislate they ought to be able to ex. peal thentaelves in plain intelligible language. The injustice of theac ottilations was extreme. ‘Vhatever might be the talents of an Intl; • idual, whatever his industry, he was to be prevented from bringiog th-on into action profitably, and to the advantage of the public, by ;eking courses of lecittree ; that was to say, u n less in a school acknowledged by the medical establishment of ore of there. cortised licspital., or unless they were persoos being physleiars e: stegeons to any ef those hospitals, It was said pupils must hare attended three winter courses; row this was impossible; there were no winter counts given. There was a course In October, and another in Januely. The one was called an Autumn course, and the ether a Spring course. (Laught.e.) Thies arrangement was altogether objectionable. It was well keown that so•deots coold nut be present at these courses, and give a proper attention at itie same period to that practical study which was nee.s. sary. It would hare been much better to have discouraged the crowding of the hospitals, by the pouring in of students from all rats of the country, the oppression of which, at this season, de feated the objects of those who attended. It would have been eve-y way more advantageous that pupils should have employed themetbres in attending summer courses. This regulation applied equally to the surgical lectures : if an individual had attended valuable course, it would not be valuable as far as regarded the College. It was laid down in one of the regulations, that certifi cates would alone be received from London. Glasgow, &e.. art ac before stated, tram one of the recognized Hospitals, &c. lie dal not object to those appointed protiviors of anatomy at these places. but they themselves were aware that they hied not a good oppor tunity of teaching—thay wanted the practionl mean*. 'filers were time of them urcuestionattly men of great talent; but without tha means what could they ettivt ? If they confined the nomber o: professors, that spirit of emulation front which so much good sat derived would be destroyed. 'flue ranae should he as wide as pv.. sible. (Applause.) The course of the College was the reverse 0: this: they would pick them nut of 20 of /SO individuals, and, aecora• ing to the natural estimate of human talent, they could not hope to find, out of so limited &number, one man of eminence. (Apple use The College allowed it to be 'opposed that they would mpoaet Persons to teach ; but he had ascerurnel that a Ale.

An individual fraia whom the world had derived immense advantages, and on whoa: talents the anatomical fame of England might be said to rest. (Applause.) his invaluable exertions were made in such e belief)l as was now not re ogaised. There were tftehars et anatomy round the country an which this regulation would operate most urjustly : there were of these gentlemen more than lOUs many of them men of great science. There were Mr. Hodson. of Birmingham ; Mr. Jamee, of Exettr ; and Ele mental' others, who were men as well qualified as any protteosits, be they whom they might. (Applause.) The injury thus done s double. The regulation was injurious --first to these gertlemen, and secondly to thextudente.

The meeting knew that there were some who practised as surgeons only, anti mines who practised generelly ; but heart& not agree to tbia (Applause.) They were all alike Members of the College; thme was no distinction in any et the charters; and the emoluments should be alike accessible to all whose mime gave them a claim. Ile was surprised there was any die. unction made. The higher individual, were, the more likely wen they to be brought- into close contact with others; but if any Gentle mita wiahed to be honoured with a personal interview, he thought lie could suggest the means by which such a desire would be gratitite:.
