Faaeuttaa's lively Comedy, 7/re Beaux Strata gem, was last night performed. Of wit, tins piece possesses u very considsrable portion ; hut its rich- Ile/4 in thmt dazzling quality by no means compen sates for the vein of libertinism whirh pervade. n— its meretricious sentiments (semi/neuts offensive even to those whose morality is nut or the most fre tidious description), and its gross cloub.'e enteadres, are but ill atoned for by the miraculous conver sion of Aimseell ; or the unhoped-for, and s we map add, improbable virtue of Mrs. Salkn—when, in the hour of silence and of privacy —time and plasm conspiring —her 1 . hated husband" away—she be holds sighing at her feet that man whom she loves— whom she bas just depicted in all the glowing tints of an etirawored fancy The principal characters are, however, drawn nth such a masterly hand— in a winner so bold and spirited—that, with all the disadvsiitages of improbability of plot, and immorality of sentiment, the play has kept, and, we doubt not, ever will k.ep, a firm footing on the stage. Mr. IVitescit performed the character of Archer--but he is not the Archer drawn by FARQUHARbe was light amid flippaut— not gentlensmely. lie might be considered a clever footman--he certainly was not the polished gent'e man. Mr. KNIGHT came forward, for the first time, as Scrub. lie displayed considerable hu mime ; and, when more mellowed in. the purl, wilt doubtless sustain it with great comic effect. Mrs. GLOVER'S performance of M►s. Sullen was very fine—the description of her stupid, insensible husband's drunken visitation, was sr-lieut. The easy confidence of her scents with Thrinda, and the cold apathy of those with Mr. Sullen, were ad mirable. In the Musical Entertainment of Rosin., which followed, Miss L KELLY made her first appear. mire on any stage, 111 Roabllsi. She is a very young lady, her figure genteel, and her countenance highly interestiag. tier entrée was received with the customary plaudits, which evidently added to the agitation which the novelty of her situation had pro duced. Miss Kat.t.v. the youthful flebatante's sis ter, who performed the character of ultimo' psrtitipating in the agitation of her relative, by her presence and affectionate attention *listed her fears and encouraged her to proceed. I-ler powers, which at first sunk under her apprehensions, gradnilly them.elres, as these kind attentions rim:ore...l her to self.possession. She executed thedif ficult S mg, " IYbibt with village ruaids I stray," (1111101 was eneored,) extremely well, and displayed a good deal of taste and science. Iler voice is rather sweet than strong ; its upper tones, however, are very powerful, and of considerable compass. tier verforsisance was received with ilattenng approba tion. Miss IieLLT, who is a very pretty breeches figure, sustained the rustic character of WiUFnw with great vivacity. The Committee apponited by the City of Lon don to superintend the erection of the monument in Guildhall. to the memory of the immortal N►t.sos, entrriained the night Honourable H.

The Com mittee, which W4l most respectably attended, had pr. eionsly received, in their room at Guildhall, the in.cription for the monument, written by Mr. SHE RIDAN, which received their highest approbation. They then a•ljumrued to the London Tavern, where a social and loyal conviviality pervaded the festi vity of the slay.

In her ridicule was found a letter from a female friend, who resides io Sloan- Street. It was in consequence of this letter that the body of the deceased was identified, at one o'clock yesterday, by u disconsolate mother. Her name was Sterna, and she served an apprenticeship to a wholesale milliner at the West End of the Town, end was lately oust of her time. She appeared about 20 years of age, and was in a pregnant state, which probably was the cause of her death.

Juseph laminator delietied a Iti u e on his new as straw of education, at the Theatre-Royal in Newciaele, to • nusat.ruus mid enlightened audience. When tho curtain was drawl, us,, a innutier of boy; selected from thos e who burr for four mouths past teem, un. der 4titio.i at the preparatory echo°, m the Vattern, "ere discovered seated at tao desks, wt h their sheel before them ; and who efterimards give the andi ocular demnnstretion of the order copliWohserved ii the scitouls on the Lancastrian system. Mr. Lancaster soot, after mate his ap. pearanee, when hr was received vista those marks of congratulation so justly due to the advocate of such a cause, and whit h were equally hot. mite to the auditory who complimented hum. In teens 'anteing his lecture, he acknowledged the omit of many of' those qualificutions expected to be 'net with in a public speaker. Ile slated, tlim hoews• the eon of a poor man, and that man a saldier ; and. though I:e had a family of ten children, was enabled, i•y the pension lie received Crew lits Ma. jests, to educate his children with credit. Atter noticing the bounty of the Royal Family with which his labours were patronized. lie proceeded to the businese of the evening, viz. " to explain the manner in which unit man may govern and teach luoo children with us much facility as 40, in half the usual time, and all one-third of the mullion ex. praise—the principle of order—tee method, whereby unit book will serve fir 300 or 11)00 children—and the manner in which 500 scholars unity seed at the same instant of time." la elucidation of the first part of his subject, Mr. L. observed, that the system was purely • military one. He had noticed for a long period, to what proficiency in discipline • number of men could ;seedily be brought in the army; and it forcibly struck his Mind, that if the same were allupt.4 in a schrso:-room, the effects. 'would be precisely eimilar. The success of this plan was now fully istahlished ; and surely no per. son would argue, that because the eyween had been hitherto exclusively used to train men for war, that therefore it ought uut to be resorted to. in or der to enlighten the youthful mind. sod to fami liarise it to habits of peace and industry. The Lee. turer then adverted to the disadvantages attending the common mode of tuition, and forcilily contrast. ed then, with the advantages connectel with dieser plan. According to the old mode, the authority of the master is merely personal. %Viten he absents him. self he takes his authority with Min, and the cootie. quence is, that the school i.istantly b comes a scams of uproar and confusion. When the master returne, he finds, according to the old proverb, that " Bed. lam has broke loose," and generally begins to coo. rect the evil by • " wholesale" whippiog. Ae• cordingly to work he sits, and as the task is not a very easy one, (i. inteularty if it be on a hot stem. user's day) each successive victim comes in for it double shave of the " good things," the m ester's indignation always increareug in proportion to the number of offending pupa ehe has to :lag. Not so in the new plan, and for this ob , iiins reason—who authority of the master is interwoven with the eye. tem : among the boys are moment, sub-ntonitoes, and a monitor-general, and these are as able, in the absence of the master, to carry on the work of in. struct;ori, as the captain; ite. of a regiment are com;ietent to put the soldiers on parade through the 'several military inanasorres, when the cow. minder himself happens not to be present. Indeed, to be eonviuced of the superiority of the new plan. it is only necessary to visit the preparatory school in this town, under the saperintendatice of Mt. Drury, where boys in a few mouths have made such progress in learning. as cannot but forcibly re. commend the " British system of Educaticm" to every unprejudiced mind. The Lecturer then no ticed the advantages that arise from the scholars be ing divided into classes, and the excellent effect produced byvi judicious distribution of rewards and punishments, by which a spirit of emulation was strongly excited. and without which spirit, little improvement could be made in the youthful mind. The ri wards generally consist of a variety of little useful articles ; those, however, who etnineetly dia. bequest' themselves, are rewarded with medals. the highest and most honourable of which hem a trate ing Wieners of His Majesty. Mr. L. particularly no• tired thimbles as being among the rewards, mid ob. served, that the audience would hr ready to ask, What have buys to ito with thimbles ? " I have seen (said he) a troy 14 'reeler age make choice ofs thinks ble, and when asked what he would do with it, he frankly replied, • Make a present of it in nio. then' And ought we not to ch e rish disp o sita m e like these, by ptitiiiie such articles within their choice, that boys may thus shew their gratitacle to a fond and indulgent mother, or their fraternal affection towards • beloved sister?" The punishments are likewise calculated to affect the mind rather then the body, and are at complete variance with the cerise,. real flagellation' so uniformly practised iii common schools. For instance. • boy who acquires a harsh, uncouth way of pronouncing his words (of which Mr. L. gave a specimen) is sent round the school, crying " 1 Buy my matches I." One who is in the ha. bit of going from his seat, is clapped in • place re. sembling • hen-coop, and ycleped the " Strayed chicken." A boy who appears insensible to the spi. tit of emulation, and is what is visually termed a dunce, is hung up in a large cage to the rce, of the school-room, while the rest of the scholars parade round hum s displaying their honoring, &e. in exul tation. Any of the boys who may be addicted to the dirty practice of sucking his own fingers. is on the first offence placed in a conspicuous situation in the school, with his fingers in his mouth, and • label taxed. of " Suck-Anger baby ;" and should two be gulty of such an offence, they arepaired off, with their Anger* in each other's mouths ; and as they have each a hostage, there is little fear of their biting hard. The success of his first experiment enabled Mr. Lancaster to feel the ground upon which he stood, and convinced him of the efficaey of the iprinciple, in directing the ductile mind of youth into habits of virtue. industry, red know. ledge. By pursuing the proiriple stead.' . he has raised a monument to his memory mot, dnral,s than mar bl e o r brass, by engrafting his isietruction• into the minds of at least fifty thousai lido. co The system of rewards and pi/retaliate-s in theist. maim of his grand machine. He implants th e s e e m s at atubnioo into the youthful mind, which is so di. 'hurd hos o ph [hs,
