Last night Mr. KERN appeared in the character of Cardinal Wolsey, in Ssobsritaint's itjatorimil play of Henry the Itighth. This character affords it very limited opportunity for the display of . his peculiar rowers, and therefore the most complete success could add little to his fame ; but if a per fect delineation of the character be all that was desired, that object is attained. The secret aprissgs by which the actions of that artful and subtle poli tician were regulated, he fully conceived and faith fully exhi 4 Jited. Haughty and ambitious, with the affectation of humility, be contrived to raise him self from the lowest beginuings to the highest pitch of individual splendour ; and yet with such appa rent indifference to the honours of Ins station, that his extraordinary elevation seemed rather the re ward of his personal talents and virtues, than the result of coming and intrigue. An undeviating perseverance in this line of policy forms almost the sole diatioguiohiag mark of his character, and M'. KEAN was eminently successful in preserving this studied uniformity, Mrs. IV. Witrr's Queen Katharine in a most excellent performance. la panning the unbending fortitude of the unfortunate discstded wife of Henry, and her calm resignation to her unmerited late, she has completely embodied the sentiments of the immortal 'author.

'brain Institution ; Presider, Sir W. W. WYNN, Bart. M.P. Two years have now elapsed since the mistiest establishment of this Institution, milder Site imme diate patronage of his most gracious Majesty, and the prsiseworthy countemince sod 'rapport of se veral Noblemen and Gentlemen connected with Wales. The particular objects of this Society were declared in the Resolutions adopted at the first tneetiug to be—the cultivation of the Welsh lerqruage, and the preservation of- the vensaius of Welsh literature. Conformably with this patriotic design, the Cymmrodoriou have already offered premiums and medals for the encouragement of j Welsh poetry, as well as of English essays in illus. 'ration of their natiooul literature : they have Irk.. wiee•given two aerials for the promotion of Welsh prose composition amongst the grammar schools tu the principality.. An ode was accordingly delivered in Welsh and another in English. The Welsh ode seemed to give most gratification, bat we did not understand it. Selectious hom ancient Welsh music succeed , Jed, which were adapted with English verses by lir. ',Parry. The melodies are not of that spirit-stirring kind which nor veneration for our own rude ante_ Rarities would generally lead us to suppose. Sere. cal of them have been spiritualieed for a century and snore in the Presbyterian psalmody. The ob jects of the Institution are valuable, as far es turning out the few remaining records of the old British annals which may lurk in the ori ginal songs cud traditions goes. But the no. ,lion of doing any thiog useful by an artificial ,preservation of an obsolete sod barbarous dialect, is at least questionable. The Society have pro- Aided premiums fur writing verses in Welsh and An Welsh, which they should give to translators, and the bast premium should be given to him whose ,translation would go furthest torender any recurrence ,to the old language useless. The music was very re "weighty sustained by harp-players end a small corps 'of vocalietr. The company was of the first class, and tale women bloomed, both as to dress and com ,plesion, in all the glory of spring. Mr. E. Jones, the Keog's bard, played an ancient air with very surp g variations. His venera ble aspect egad strong national features made him look very like a seer of the Druidical times,. who had postponed his departure from his earthly tabernacle over successive centuries. He was rap turously hailed by the assembly. The mast ,curious part of the ceremonies consisted in an im promptu mode of singing short pieces of odes, which are introduced by the singer in any division of the .strain played by the harper, end with a great variety of metre, only the vocal performer is required to observe the tune and the divi. *inns of each bar in the adaptation of hes epigram matic verse. When one voice is done another suc ceeds, Co any amount, according to the inclination of the company, just as it is described in the note to one of the porms of amen. There were present, besides the President above named, Lord Kenyon and Sir C. Morgan. A Gentleman, mimed Parry, gave a short historical view of the Congress, from the seventh century downwards, but it was merely a statement of the limes of holding them, cud the authorities under which they had been held.

The vacant Bishoprick (Raphoe) caved by t►e promotion of Dr. Magee, is nut yet titled; we have reason to believe that the Watt of St. Patrick's will be advanced to that bee.

Henry John Naylor and George Adams for a bur . glory to the house of Mr. Condell. at Greenford ; sod Williams Bartholomew and John Close for a similar offence in the Fortune of War public house, ' Giltspur-street. John Davis was reprieved - last night. Edw. Desmond, John Anson, end Edw. Ward, Ily received a respite until Friday next. The unhappy sufferers, since the mandate of ex ecution had -arrived, paid the utmost attention to the religious advice of the Rev. Mr. Cotton. and from appearances the Reverend Ordinary's labours were completely crowned with success. Tuesday on the intelligence being made known that the four other Prisoners were respited, they manifested nu uneasiness, and seemed plea►ed at the better for tune of their fellow prisoners. George Adams ins niferted the deepest contrition. and expressed great regret for having ill-treated the person who coptured him ; he took leave of his wife, and the parting was most affecting. Naylor was most respectably ennetected ; his Either a an opulent tradesman ; this young man often bitterly lamented having quitted his father's home and associated .with de praved characters, from whose company, he ob served in the press-room, only a momentary gratifi cation was experienced, but a lasting impresoluit of crime and guilt. The final parting of - Bartholomew arid his wife and five young children was dreadfully effecting; the poor woman hung on him w i th h e r little ones, left uuprovided for, and in loud cries, which were re-echoed by the children, lamented his fate, and, casting an imploring look around he►, called on God to have mercy upon hint. The wretched mart was speechless with horror and grief, and seemed for some minutes as it deprived of sense and utterance. The poor woman tell senseless in the cell, end the turnkey observed, that during his long experience he never witnessed a more liter'. residing accuse. Close also took leave of his wife, but this wretched man, as his hour drew nigh, up peered to be losing his reason. At half-past seven o'clock the Sheriff* and et tendants arnved and proceeded to the presaloom, into which Naylor sod Adams were immediately brought, and had their irons knocked off and were bound. Adams appeared remarkably firm, resigned, and collected. Naylor was deeply de jected, but composed. Bartlutluntew was then brought in. Tnis wretched man's behaviour excit ed much attention ; he walked in firmly, and bow ing to the getitlemen present, acknowledged the justice of his sentence, and observed, he feared nut to die. as he confidently expected mercy through the Saviour of mankind. Clem was then brought in, he looked wildly round and asked for his . wife ; this poor man seemed in clieed to give as much trouble as possible, and was obliged to be held before he would permit his irons to be struck off. Every preparation being in readiness, the awful procession moved toward' the gallows. Adams brat ascended the scaffold with a firm step, attended by the Rev. Mr. Cotton, the other culprits were attended by the Rev. Mi. Baker and the Sheriffs chaplains, one of whom read the burial service in the lobby ; the wretched man Close manifested considerable un eeriness, and stared wildly around, exclaiming 44 W here ' s tay wife ?—let me sea nry poor dear .wife !" &c.

Thai a Petition founded on the foregoing Resolutions be prepa►ed for sigosture, mid that the Member. for the county be r►quested to present the same, and futther its •itelem to their utmost ability. 9th. That the thanks of Ibis meeting he given to the Magistrates for their ready attention to the wishes of the Requisitionists iu convening this meeting. Mr. Tuawsa seconded the Resolutions, and they were carried unanimously. Mr. MOSELY then rose to offer a few remark, to 11w meeting. The readiest way, he observed, of &ding a remedy for the evils Under which they ►uf fered, was to trace them to their causes. Low prices appeared to he that ceuae, but, strictly speak ing, they were not so. In 1792 and 1793 prices were nearly the same as at present, and the country WWI in the most flourishing state ever knowoo.— The landlords derived a proper income from their property, the tenantry were contented with their gains, the clergy were satisfied With their Wheel, the peasantry with the wages of their labou►.•— Therefore it was not the prices its themselves which were the cause of the evil, but they must be taken relatively to rents, tithes, rates, and taxatioso.-- There they found the difference betweru the two periods. Rents and tithes were not iii 1792 one half their present amount ; rates and taxes were not one-fourth. If they looked further they would see whence this deference had arisen. lii the year 1790 we had a debt of 240 millions; now it it was 800, and the interest 31 millions, whilst the expenses of the State were at least 17 million*: altogether the expenditure was SO millions. In the yeer..1792 the whole was not above 17 millions. In 1793 dee*- , ported e 77,327 quarters of wheat, bl.) that though the price was the same as at prr.•ot, we could sell it abroad. Ili 1797 the Bonk Restriction Act woo passed, because it was impoesitile to provide foe the immense expenses of the State without it. At that period (he had it from a Direetio) the issues amounted to 8,240,000/. Afterwards their issues were greatly morasses', so much so that io 1811 it wes the general opinion that a great depreciation hail taken place in the value of the paper curren cy. The Bullion Committee was appointed, and declared that the depreciation had taken place._ But the Finance Minister persuaded the Howe of Commons to declare that a one pound note and a shilling were equivalent ton guinea. At that very time the Government win buying up guineas to pay the army abroad, at 265. or 94.. because the notes had depreciated above 30 per ceut. In 1810 the issues of the Boort were 28 millions, or above three times the amused at the period of the restricis hon. The country notes were issued quire in the same proportion, if not mote unbounded, which wog very dinars'. se thelarger their imuesthe greater the prat toll* emsnevy bootee., end it was only required that they should be able to give in et.
