The new additional building at the south end of ' the Court of Justice, in the Old Bailey, will. be at tended with considerable conveniences.

A se parate entrance is provided for the Judges, for whose convenience, above the new Hall, there are several apartments, lighted from the sky. There is also a new chamber for containing the Records of this Court, built in a substautial and secured against accidents from fire.

The following observation on the utility .of the , Drama is well entitled to the attention, of all those fastidious Moralists and arrogant ,philesopliers who treat it, with contempt or indifference.," It is de . siri,ble that the exhibition of dramatic performances should be as freietent a i possible in all lame and po7- , pulous places. The common business of life too in. tensely pursued makes men muniedfill of precepts and maxims of virtue, which they are more apt to forget in the eager pursuit of then: evocations, than to abandon through wain of prieciple,' The drama awakens them ni virtue ; exercises all the kinder emotions ; old by its influence over The Mind and feelings prevents that mural stagnation, which so much tends todegrade,and brutify. • . • 11 shocking,attempt w cony:tit suicide was made on Sunday evening, at the house Igtfi. welter, in Mary-le-bone Road.

Leo pard. made the late _attack on the Chesapeake, we are induced to state, that, as we uncie,rstand, on ap plication by Mr. Ennuis for their surrender, he was informed that it could not be done, and was . .. T- ,ferred to the written answer * given by the Secre. tary of State, on a previous application in another ease, for the principle's On which the surri:nder of British deserters was refased. It was remarked to Mr. ERSKINE, at the - same time, both by . the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretai7 of State, that although the Government could not deliver up deserters, it was so far 'from countenancing desertion, twist general orders had beep issued to our' Naval Commanders not to per mit any British deserters •tp be recruited for the American service. They also informed Mr. Elt•- SKINA .a few days after, that they had sufficient reason for believing that the seamen in raterGon were native citizens of the United States ; lhip be- ins the result of an inquiry t made by Capt., BAR- !tom, in pursuance of erilers from the Secretary of the Navy. 0!) this point NI., Ens tie esvressed no opinion !
