Sessio"ns • • i ' . THE OPERA. , TaE Comic Opera of 11 Fanatic° di: Berlina ,was repeated on - Saturday to an exceeding . fUll house. The music of thispOpera being a composition on which PAEsIELLo bestoV.Ted a particular finisah, can not but be highly gratifying both to the Cognoscenti and less informed Auditor ; and as the Performers acquire.a greater facility in the execution of some of the difficult passages, the Opera rises in the favour Of the audience t •indeed there is so much delicacy in some of the beauties of the harmony, that a par ticular nicety is . required for a just' eitecution of them. Virlci was in better voice than she has been lately, and we obsZived that she ,has changed her aria, as we recommended ; but we are even now of opinions that if she had confined herself to the air as origitMil_y written by PAEst E La, the effe6t would have better seconded her wishes. VIGA- NoNt was animated and coved: he is the soul of the beautiful quintetto. Paul Lc' Virginie was the Ballet, which, although a revived Bailer, seems to increase in its attraftion of popular favour. The new pas des trois, by the LAsoittEs and fittAtcspEßc receives deserVed . applause, and the general execution of the Ballet produces'a brilliant effect. The hbuse was filled-at an early hour, and owing to the wetness of the evening the passage 'of the Hay-Market was so obstructed as to - render the approach difficult ; many carriages could not get up at all, and parties returned disappointed of their , evening's amusement: THE THEK4E.—The Tragedy of Venice Pre_ served was represented on Saturday last at Covent Garden Theatre for the Benefit of Mr. BROWNE, who appeared in the charaaer of laffer. If he did not display any tr anscendant proofs of genius in this character, his performance throughout was marked by plain good sense and Unaffetaed feeling, as well as by -some . touches of, true pathos. In one passage he .introduced' a novelty creditable to his critical judgment. It has been usual when Daffier proposes terms to the Senate, before the latter have manifested the least tendency to mercy, in uttering the following requisition, 'to hold in his hand a paper supposed to contain the names of the Conspirators, ", • " For myself full pardon, " Besides the lives of two and twenty friends. " Whose names are here entoird." _Mr. BRo.wsE,. in 'delivering the word here, put his hand to his breast as the. record of friendship, and indeed it seems obvious that if he had preserved the written list in the. first instance, it might'have been seized by the Officers of justice', and the Senate need not have submitted "to my capitulation. Coons; for 'the first time performed, Pierre; which he gave in a very manly and spirited style, but was on the whole somewhat too . boisterous.---Miss . IVIoRRAY, iti Betvidera, trod rather too closely in the steps of Mts. St nooNs, but altogether played with much greater force and effect than we expelled in so difficult a part. Notwithstanding the merit of the Play, and the novelty of the performance,% excepting the Pit, there was but a scanty 3.Odicnce, owing, no doubt, to the inclemency of the night. 77:4! Dueniza, though it did not draw a crowded, had a numerous audience on Saturday last, at,Drury- Lane: Theatre. Mrs. BILLINGI'D.N'S Clara of course, the chief magnetic point.—No:hing could be more exquisite than her execution of the Airs, and her Bravura was a prodigy of skill, taste, and scientific precision. It is an established faa, that such has been Mrs. BiLLINGTON'S attraaion at the . two Winter Thea tres, the Managers will pocket as much, net profit, AS they pay to that accomplished Singer. PAitiscvr has taken a tour to the coast of France, in hopes Of some benefit from the change of climate. Her complaint has nothing to do with the accident to herancle, as some people imagine, hut was an eruptive fever of a dangerous ,kind, from which, although recovered, she, is still so weak as to ren der her conval&scence tedious. Madame VINCI, from a modest opinion of her own attralion, we hear, intends to decline ven turing a benefit. The late KINe) of Drury-Lane Theatre, has, it is said, left no lineal Successor. There is too much truth in the observation, and his Histrionic Posses siva, like the Empire of ALEXANDER, most, of course, fall to the share of many very inferior Ex.. peCtants: SALoktoN, it seems, is going to introduce two furcign Horns to the Musical World. Considering the kallatitry'orthe times, and the abundant pryofs of those articles in the Records of Liceior's Commons, they may be thought a needlos Importation. LITERATURE.----Mr. JONES / to whom the Public are indebted for an erudite and interesting account of the musical- antiquities of Wales, as well as for the• revival ,of many.ancient melodie3 of that country, has been renewing his inquiries with great succes's, He has recovered many . more re liques of 'the. musical and poetical genius of his countrymen, 'in remote ages, and explored many very curious particulars respeding the WELCH., 'BARDs and DItlilDS. The - spccimens of ancient poetry, and descriptions of ancient customs, render the Work highly interesting, and will remain a lasting monument of the zeal, industry, taste and knowledge of the ingenious Author, who, is him self BARLI . tO the Prince of WALES, and who brings it . forward under the liberal encouragement Of his Illustrious Patron.. At the close of the Play on- Saturday night, at Covent-Garden Theatre, a glass chandelier, from the upper tier of boxes, fell upon one on. the left hand, hanging over the stage, but fortunately no person was hurt by the accident, Wednesday night, about nine o'clock, as Mr. Phillips ; of St. Margaret's-hill, in the Borough,• in company with a lady,. in a chaiie,. Was coming by the Shoulder of Mutton Green, near Shooter's-11M,, they were stopped by two footpads, who robbed them of four guineas and a - hall; besides a silver watcfi. trIPLI2; MAY ON Saturday night last, abotit the hour of half 'past ten o'clOck, a most diabAical and cold-blooded assapation was perpetrated within two doors of Sackvi:le.street Club-house, on.,an elderly Gentle- Man of the name, of M‘GRECOR, who conduae:d. business for Mr. SNRYO, of that street. Returning at that hour to Mr. SNEYD's house; two shots were filed at him, both. of %vhiCii unfortunately took effeet. He fell instantly, and his assassins , fled, without any attempt to rob him; One of the bails entered his jaw, and lodged near his neck, Whence. it is feared it will prove mortal. He was a man remarkably inoffensive; which' renders such an at tack on his life a 6 extraordinary as it is a'trociotis. No less than two murders were committed the 'week before last;' accompanied with circumstances of great cruelty, in the County of Carlow ; one in the Town of Myshall, and the other at Leighlin bridge, on the fair-days of those places, "in quarrels amongst the peasantry, which drunkenness created. -In both instances, the combatants were close neigh bours and cordial friends. Ten, or twelve persons have in consequence fled from justice. Another brutal instance of the , feroeity of the rabble, occurred-in Harold's-cross on Sunday even- • ing. A Mr. Gregory, of the Society of Methodists, was preaching in the Green " peace and good will," When he was set upon in a savage manner by a large mob, who would" have murdered him on the spot had he not had the good fortune to effed his escape; which he did with great difficulty. Several of his hearers were also cruelly treated=one of them, a Mr. Barnet, of Ship -street, was wounded in a desperate manner.—Four persons Were taken into custody, for this offence. This night the Un;on • Clith gives its superb Masqued Ball at, Cumberland House, the prepara tions for which are magnificent. The Ifouse itself, by its numerous apartments, is highly adapted to such a Fete, but additions have been made at a irery great, expence, which will. make it a sort of Fai7 Land. —The whole of the Terrace behind - the house is covered in, and forms a saloon •I so feet in length, to which there are seven avenues • from the prin: cipal rooms on the ground floor. This leads on the rig 4t toit ball-room, which is builtfor the occasion, 7o feet long by 48 wide ; arid from the centre it' branches 'off into a covered walk 400 feet in length, which is or namented with a profusionof fruir,trees in full bear. ing, ancLadually ripe. These trees, bearing cherries, peaches, and nettat-Ines; have been brought from dif ferent hot-houses for the occasion; and intermixed with every odoriferous shrub and plant which our best nurseries contain, will make it a delicious promenade. The ball-eroom is ornamented -with paintings, gorical of all the Nations who have been engaged in the war now happily terminated, and combining expressive emblems of the harmony, which they now desire to cultivate. Supper be laid ft;sy zoo persons in five great roonas,4m the first floor, and thirteen rooms mit the second ; the elegance of the decorations will surpass every - thing of the kind Which has been given on the occasion of the Peace. Rowttqo-Mkrctr.—His Grace the Duke of MANCHrtrEk, Lord CiAvrl, and a large party of Gentlemen, fond of aquatic exercise, on Saturday made a purse of twenty guineas,to be rowed for by two above.:bridge Watermen against two below_bridge. Each 'of the parties was entitled to a prize in the fol: lowing proportions : the first, r 01. ; the second, ; the third, 31. •; and the fourth, zl. The first heat was won by Shepherd, of Lambeth; the second by Westwood,' of Vauxhall; After which the twp winners and two,losers started against each other. Weitwood . won without much difficulty. Not - With'. standing the unfavourableneltS of the weather, the Noble Boatmen were stripped-and at the oar during the whole of the Match, after which they dined at Cumberland Gardens. Dr. HOARE, IVlaster of jesus - College t Oxford, and Prebendary of Westminster,_ died last 'week, in consequence` of an extraordinary accident. As he was sitting at tea, somebody moved the table upon his favourite cat, and giive the animal such pain that it flew direCtly at the DoEtor, and the wound occasioned try its claws occasioned a inorti ,fie'alibn, which put a period to the life of a. iery• worthy and learned man. Dr. HOARE was upwards of ninety years of age. . Mr, RA It ES, of the British Museum is expeaed, to succeed to the Prebendary of Westminster, vacant 'by the death of Dr. tioARE. A beautiful young girl, who hal been tempted by some Man of Pathian to leave her home, and accompany him to tow% was in a very short' time afterwards (as is usual) deserted by her seducer, and left in- the giteatest possible misery. ,Anxious to return to het friends ; but without the means of doing,so, or of supporting herself even for a day, s h e ap•plied 'for relief to an eminent Dentist at the West End of the Town. The girl had a beautiful set of teeth, and, at the instant, a Lady ofFashim t ?i was in the Dentist's house, in want o f tqf teeth in front, The girl was immediately inr;rod ,A to the Lady, who, %ruck with the bea ut y . o f 'ter ap-: pea twee, humanely ofkred her ten g4ineas to supply her mon arants. The .unhappy creat,ure instantly lrad lui.r.Mouth torn to pieces, and returned to her patents . mittilated - and dishOnonred. . A. filosv in the habit.of a Sailor who pretends to be blind, and is led begging through the streets by a boy; was last week encountered'by.a Naval Officer who charged him with imposition as to his slglt and his dress. The. feelings of the populace were interested in_behalf of .one who appeared to be a' distressed Tar. At length to satisfy all doubts . ,,,ihe' Officer proposed the following question to the man, viz. " .114 - do you put the ham when you want to wear the ship," tendering him a shilling if he gave a proper answer:' ThiS question settled the matter at once , the impostor immediately quitted his gm;de, took to , his, heel 3, and. was. out of,sight in an instant. The American brig Char Ailey arrived at Ply mouth on Thursday, after a passage,•of fifty-four: dap from the Havanna. Previous to her sailing, the Spanish . s-quadron, under the, command of ' Ad miyal GaAvi NA, that carried out troops to - St. Do mingo, arrived at that port, accompanied with eveFal, French ships mach in want of repair.

The Plaintiff, however, in a shOrt time after, grew impatient, 7ind having' met with one of t h e Defendant's -hand-bills, he applied to him for relief‘ The Defendant .undertook for the sum of teri guineas; half of which was - paid doWn immediately, k to effeet a complete cure. With this view he pre. scribed certain pills, the virtues of which were enumerated in his hand-bill. The Plaintiff was tai rub an ointment.on his face every night. He went or, thus administering hit medicincv, and occasionally' obtaining a guinea from the. young man, who founcl himtelf from that tithe getting infinitely worse'. He. was at last reduced to such a situation that he was nearly deprived of the use of his limbs, and his eye-sight was extremely impaired. In this sitqation he acknowledged - to his friends the error he had coin mitted ; the assistance of an'eminent Physician was obtainc.l, who found the Plaintiff in a state of the ut_ most danger. He attributed it to the injudicious and indiscriminate application of preparations of mercury and antimony, By proper cream-tent the Plaintiff re . covered the use alik limbs, but the sight of his krt• eye was entirely lost.: It was to o b ta i n for this injury the preset anion was brought. The Witnesses eonisred *of Medical Gentlemen, deposed, that the Plaintiff owed not only the loss of his eve, but the. debility of his frame, solely tei the unskil , ful Management of the Defenda'Ut. The Undcr-Sheriff expressed 'his surprize, that causes of this,,nature were not more frequently the subjeas of ,inquiry in Courts of Justice. It was a Matter of regret ) that the Legislature did not turn its attention to an - evil, which had tended itself not only throughout the metropolis, but 'every' paft' of the country.
