An interesting work, entitled "Drams of the Aerial World," by David Lyndsay, has been just published. The author has prefaced it with the following notice " It may be accessary for me to say something for the siugalar coincidence of my having chosen the same subjects as Lard Byron for too of my dramas. I entreat permission to assert, and creel when I do assert, that it is entirely 'eel dental; that my dramas were written, long before Lard By. roe', were aseasseed—before t could lase had any idea that his brilliant pen was engaged epos the drama at all. The infrriorily of the execution of mine, may, perhaps, lead me to regret that I have selector! the saute 'subjects, otherwise 1 can lament any cuiscidesee with the admired Author of ilaafred' and • Chit!. Harold." The two dramas of coincidence are " Cardona. pains" and " The Dailey of Cale:" but in addi tion to these, Mr. Lyndsay's publication contains several others, in the perusal of which the reader will have often cause to admire the modesty of the author, who has thought it necessary to apologise for treading accidentally, in two instances, in the path, however brilliant, of Lord Byron's muse. The different manner in which the two subjects are treated by Lord Byron and Mr. Lyndsay sufficiently repelsall idea of plagiarism 011 either part. The first of the series in the present work is entitled " The Deluge," the following extract from which is well adapted to the present season : King, the wretched people Amend the moriataie, and serrated the tower, For refuge sod for safety, calling thee To succour them in this extremity— 'Ffm fearful shower bath buried all the plains; Aad to increase the horrors of the lime, The mighty river hall eerflowed his banks, Avid like • sinuous snake doth rull his course Above the roiled enuotry.—Earth's green head Hill vaeish'd from our eyes..—Tbe high roord dooms Of the proud city's mansions still appear, But men and herds gaze terrified, and stalk Amid the waters wading, as when mem • Traverse a river's bed.— CNASALIK. it is the dawn Told by the mighty!—God, thou wilt avenge This consummation of the crimes of earth!— Welcome avenger !—come with rapid strides, And hasten on the night of this stain'd world!

LOLTCH•III Thy high will [Ea. . . • CONSECRATION OP iria ROYAL. CHAP&L. BRIGHTON. BRIGHTON. TVISDAY, JANUAR * , I. This chapel. founded by his Majesty, has been consecrated this day by the Bishop of Chichester. At an early hour the principal avenues istuling to the chapel were occupied by carriages, mini though the morning was very unfavourable, the solicitors for admission were must numerous. The exterior of the chapel is a simple and elegant structure, but the approach to it is not completely finished. The chapel is fitted up in a style of suit able magnificence. The pulpµ and reading-desk were richly covered with crimson velvet; the com munion table decorated with similar costliness, and encompased with a gilded railing. A gold chalice. &c. stood on the table. The gallery. projecting over one extremity of the chapel, is chastely and beautifully painted. It was ocrupied by the gen tlemen atid choristers of his Majesty's chapel royal, St. James's. At the opposite extremity, and separate from the aisle. is the space assigned to the Sovereign and his suite. A few minutes before eleven o'clock the chapel was opened to those who had previously obtained tickets to wituess the ceremonial of its consecration. Ilis Majesty entered the chapel at about half an hour after eleven o'clock. The curtains, placed between that portion of the chapel assigned to his Majesty amid the aisle, were thrown aside, and in the centre discovered the King. dressed iu a rich blue 11111 form. On the left, and separated from his Majesty by • crimson curtain, we observed the Princess Ester hazy, Lady Harcourt. Marquis and Marchioness Couyngham. On the right of his Majesty stood Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, and several other distin guished Members of his Majesty's suite. The Bishop, Isis Chaplains, the Preacher, the of ficiating Minister, and other Clergy, passed through the middle aisle to the communion table, repeating, alternately, the biz first verses of the Roth Psalm— the remaining verses by the Choir. The Bishop and his Chaplains went within the rails ; the Minister to the desk, and the Preacher near to the pulpit. The Bishop, sitting in • his chair, received the King's mandate for the consecrabiou of the chapel, which he placed on the communion table. The usual prayers ut the consecration of a chapel then followed, after which-- The Bishop sitting, the act of consecration was read by the Chancellor, signed by the Bishop, and (steered to be registered. The Bishop con cluded with pronouncing the final blessing, after which " God save the Kiag" was finely given by the choir. The service concluded about half-past two o'clock. [FURTHER PARTICULARS.] The chapel presented a comp &cell of imposing magnificence and effect. The communion-table and organ, as well as the royal seat, are splendidly adorn ed with draperies of crimson velvet, ornamented with gold. The communion plate is also of the richest and most valuable description. The structure, from its size and extent, affords room for a large congregation. and from the ample expansion of its roof; is peculiarly adapted for the performance of sacred music. This, we remarked, was particularly exemplified white the choir was performing some sweet passages in the Te DeNas—and also in the responses of the communion service (the beautiful composition of Juniellt). The natural harmony was here much increased by the peculiar and happy adaptation of the building to the purposes of sound. His Majesty was drest in uniform (a pelisse cost of the royal 10th hussar.), and we have the sutisfae. bon to add, that he appeared in excellent health, and seemed to pay undivided attention to the sacred duties of the day ; as also to derive considerable satisfaction from the beautiful performances of the choir. The organ was played by Mr. Attwood, organist of St. Paul's Cathedral. His Majesty was attended in the royal seat by the Clerk of the Closet, the Veil Rev. the Dean of Hereford. Among the Clergy in attendance we observed the Rrv. Messrs. "Tyler. Everard, Lovell, &c. The congregation was numerous and distinguish ed. Among those present we remarked— Prior, soil Princess Esterhasy, Duke of Dorset, Earl of Morley, Lord Rarenaworth and daughters, Lady Norsaanby, Lord and Lady Howard of Effiugham, Margois and Mar. chiunes* Conyitglinni, Lady Elizabeth, lord Frauds, and Lady Maria C./impish/to, Lady Cornwall, Earl and Countess Harcourt, Sir B.

The following curious scene of desire's was displayed der. lug the late flood at Chelsea. Two neighbouriog families ■peed to spend the day together. One consisted of the hus. band mid wife and two children, and the other of Legband and wife and five children. The parents met in one house, and the seven children were left to amuse themselves in the other. While the two parties were severally mijoying them. selves, the water rose so suddenly and so high as to cut off all communication between the Iwo hinnies. The lower parts of both were flooded, nod the old in the one and young lit the oilier, flew to the upper floor, for safety. The good cheer was all in the house of the parents, and the young ones soon began to cry oat for food. In this extremity, one of the men found in the house an iron rod, which be spliced to a broom stick, and having tied a bag with food to the end of it, he contrived to pass it to the window of the adjoining !mese, where the little one. were noxiously stretching out thei► little hands to receive it. The magma did not fall 'wee gratefully upon the childreu in the Wilderness. lit a little time, however, the water subsided, and the parents were uuitad with their children. POOR CATHOLIC CHILDREN. A respectable society, composed of persons of various religious persuasions, denominated " The Sons of Erin," has been for some time established for the most charitable of purposes, at the house of Mr. Charles Cummings, the sign of the Sugar Loaf, King-street, Dewy lane. Each membe► pays the sum of sixpence per week, or say other sum be may think tit ; they meet at *even o'cligek oat Sunday evening, and lake the chair in rotation, and all busiuess is over by ten ; the society is composed of mechanics and la. hourisig persons, whose object is to raise a fund fur the sup. port of a school, kept by • master of their own choosing, Mr. Smith, 14, klasgrurn-street, Bloomsbury, for the educating and partly clothing indigent Catholic children, who otherwise would become pests of society, from having nothing to do but idleing in the streeto, their parents being mostly out of em ploy this winter. The funds for this benevolent institution are so low, that they are not sufficient to pay even the master, laying aside Soiling any article of clothing, and without the aetiologies of the more opulent it is feared the whole object will fail. The Rev. Mr. Sevi►e, at the Catholic Chapel, Duke-street, lineulu'e Ina-held* ; Mr. Cummings, at the Sugar Loaf; ■nd Mr. Smith, the schoolmaster, have charitably offered to receive any trifling donation that might be offered towards the support of this truly praise. worthy iuotitutigni.

Slued:elf, proprietors of the John Ball stewspepes, for a libel published in diet paper on the 6th May, ISM oil the Countess of Jersey. Mr. SCARLET? stated the case to the Jury. He said it was slut alleged that either of the three 13e. leutlauts was the author of the libel ie question._ It wss probable that the author vomit' never he knows'. If he had the good fortune to he received ni any respectable society the puleication of his name would be sufficient to bailie!) him from it, so that it was not probibte he would disclose it lona- Self, and there was nothing of such brilliancy iii the performance to cast a ray of ii;ht to intorm posterity who was the author. Though his name would probably continue to be mikitown, it was not the less proper that public justice should he ssiisfied for the crimes which lie hail committed, and that the Defendants, who concealed the author and profited by his performatices, should be amenable, both civilly and penally, for Lill the con sequences. lie believed he might say, to the credit of the English Press, that whatever Mamas. gsuce as to praise or censure was indulged in with regard to public men mud public measures, none had been found so void of all decorum and sense of decency as to drag female character before the public; but it seemed that at length an author had been found who, in furtherance of some object by him deemed proper, did not scruple that Warners. That pereon's professed drugs was to culainniate her late Majesty, and he thought that, provided it answered some political purpose, he was at liberty to attark all kaiaks, even of the Royal Faintly.— He considered, in the delicacy of his judgment raid feeling, that he was at liberty to traduce ally private character, for the purpose of potting au end to all respect being paid to the wife of his Sovereign. He (Mr. Scarlett) should advert as lightly us portable to the cilcumstances which must become matter of his tory. (god (rebid tint he should dwell umiecessenly on whet related to the private character of any of ilia Royal Fatality, much less thou lie should approach irtrverenily the ashes of the dead, even if he felt no respect far misfot lune. Whether guilty or tuuo cent was not now the question, but reports were spread to her Majesty's discredit, the tendency of *tech was to shake that respect which attached to the Monarchy itself, and it became a paistful duty in the opinion of many persons to maintain that respect. Not so the author of the libel coin. plained of; he had thought it a proper tune to let fly his poisoned snowy, and he declared he should proclaim open war against every indivaluel who lend any respect to her Majesty, ur who even paid her the usual compliment of leasing their urines at her Alitjesty's house. Mr. SCARLETT deprecated the introduction of the private characters of Sovereigns into discussion, or supposing that such was to be the scale to mea sure the fidelity and respect justly due to their sta tiers. Reverting to the present publication, he ob served that nothing could be more distressing to a Lady than to become in uny way the subject of public discussion. It was a most estimable part of the character of the sex to court retireutent-sseven their very virtues loved the shade, and shunned the opportunity of public display. Whitt, then. could be thought of a man fur holding up this Lady in the language of ridicule and contetnpr, for poli tical or any other purposes ? The Learned Counsel then teed the libel, commenting on it as he went along. It staled that the writer had received many communicatious respecting Lady Jersey, which lie should publish from time to time. fur the amusement of his readers. lie had hi therto spared Lady Jersey, awl should have continued to have done sii, if she would have permitted him ; but the " foolish *otiose" had auntie lietself en " offensively indecent by taking up (when every other person had departed from her) the paramour of Bergami," " the modern Mescaline," &c. &c., awl the paragraph concluded with informing its readers, that Lady Jersey was about to go abroad. in consequence of the coolness with which she was received in private society, on account of the conduct she hail pursued in the Queen's ellen. He (Mr. Scarlet!) could conceive but one defence to this, and that was, that the a riter load not treated Lady Jersey so badly as he had treated her Majesty ; hut he thought the good ttate of his Learned Friend (the So licitor•Cieneral), would not permit his availing himself lif that. lit conclesion. he confidently anticipated that the verdict of the Jury would be such as to ensure to the Delendabto that punish ment which his Lordship and the rest of die Court would at a future day deal out to them according to their demerte. The paper was then put in and the libel read. Thomas Wright, clerk to the Suliciior tOr the proeectition, produced the wiper of 6th May, 1811, which lie purchased at the office of the Join Bull, in Johnson's -court, Fleet -street; "Shackell and Aea roweitittli" was over the door ; and he also produced a copy of the affidavit of the Defendants from the Scamp-office, to shear that they were printers, pub lishers, and proprietois of the John Bull. The Soticrroa-Geteenat, for the Defendants, objected that the affidavit of the Defendants pro duced from the Stamp-office stated the place of publishing the paper to be in Dyeessbuilditigs, whereas the paper produced stated that it was pub. tidied in Johieson's-court, Fleet-street. Mr. SCARLET? contended that he had proved the Defendants to he proprietors, punters, nod publishers of this. Paper, though not printed, &c. at the same place. Ile had given the proof ay cording to the Statute, but he was prepared to offer futile!, evidence. The witness was further examined. Ile said that he knew of uo other place where the Paper was sold hut Jultilson's-roult ; lie heard the muse of p, sees when lie was there ; he did out 6 num, coy id the D41'0410109.
