DRURY LANE THEATRE. On Slturday'a meeting of the Subscribers to the re•building of Drury-lane Ventre was held at' the Crown and Anchor Tavern, _Lord HOLLAND iothe Chair. _ . Mr. WHITBREAD read the Report of the Com mittee, containing the proceedings since the last meeting, and the progress made in carrying on the building, under the direetion of Mr.AVYATT, the .Architect. The substance, of 'the - Report, which extended to a very considerable length, and which is to be printed old circulated, ,stated , — " That the who 4 amour of expei,ce for build ing and decorating the Theatre so 35 to tender it fit fo" public representations, would net exceed t he ori gin 4 e,tirna:e of 150;0001.; `t' at order to defray . tt , e , expences'already incurred, the Subscribers' mo ney load not teen oucliect "but the- ences were def , ,yed from the ‘.ottey raised trout the Insurance Offices, and to a.sum of 52001. which lay at the. Banker's on account of the old concerr7-that the creditors had 'made application to Chancery to have this money restored, but no order was made in their favour, and an indemnity wi-s given by the Trustees to the Bankers for the money—that the contract for building the Theatre was to be fulfilled by the end of the year, so thatithe Th e atre night be open for performances on the Ist of January. 1313. The Committee, ho •. ever, hiving the interests of 'the .concern in view, had considered it more expedient to open at an earlier period, and as Mr. Wyatt had stated in his report that a sum of 15001. would enable him to forward toe works, so as to let in the pub lic on the Loth of October, of the' pre-ent year ; a:11 that a sum of 6001. was necessary for waking the Gallery more commodious, the Committee con ceived that they were justified in recommending for the adoption of the meeting to agree to advance these, two sums. It then went on to notice the private boxes, upon which they made no calculation, and fur ther stated, that application had been made to the Committee for a lease of the Theatre for the term of 21 years, for which the applicants otfered d 8,0001. per annum, which sum was rejeded—gney then of fered 20,0001. but it was found that this sum would not give the subscribers more than 5 per cent. and as there were just grounds for believing that a much larger dividend would' accrue if the Theatre, was opened, that offer was also rejected. It was pro- , posed therefore, in order to meet the demands of the concern, that the Committee should recommend a Call_for 20 per cent. in addition to the advance al ready made on each subscription." hies PASCOE GRENFELL, M. P.-therl moved cer-' tam tesolutions founded upon the Report. - Thanks were " then voted to Mr: Whitbread and Lord Holland, an&the other Members of the Com mittee, for their exertions. Mr. WHITBREAD, in returning thanks, had not the least doubt of the ultimate success of the under taking. He recommended to the Subscribers to circulate the 'Report as widely M possible, as a mans of doing away these false representations of the state of the concern, and which had impeded the Subscription. He assur , d them that he though t this , the best speculation which had been afloat for 'Many years.—The Resolutions were severally agreed to, and the Report was ordered to be printed. The Meeting was then adjourned. Letters received from Manchester on Saturday, state the cessation of the disturbances "which took place in. that town on .the Bth inst. The persons who signed the reqnisition for a meeting, subse quently aesembled at the Police Office, .where an Address was voted to the PRINCE REGENT, and left at different places for signatures. - The 52d regiment (2d batt.) has arrived from Por tugal, and marched from Brabourn Lees 'Barracks, Sussex. , • it.appears that the Baron GERANIB is indebted to the amount of six thousand pounds.

DogOr (now Sir Humphrey) Davy deliVered his Lecture on the Metals,on Friday the lOth, in which he particularly . described 'the charatiters of the me tals recently obtained from alkalies and _eartbd. •' These, he observed, were much _lighter than the metals loft - het - 1y known. PotasSitim, or the. Metal from potass, is lighter than water ; and barium, or the metal front barytes, is' lighter than tin, and dif fers as much in specific gravity from potaSsium as tin differs from platiOa, the heaviest of the metals. The* Leather then described the processes by which these metals may be obtained ; those from the earths may be procUred by distilling the earths with potassium under naptha, in a smell glass retort or tube. Potassium, having a stronger affinity for oxygen than any other substance, separates the oxygen from the earths, and they form dark•co loured substances 'lining the tube, p , ssessing but hole metallic splendour, but which are conductors of elethicity like the _other - . metals. All metallic substances are, under ,certain circumstances, corn-. lanstible, hut in different degrees—potassium burns on the surface of ice;--zinc," and some other metals, are reduced to a state of vapour by combustion in oxygen gas. The metals combine with definite portions of oxygen of chlorine. If the number le presenting- iron be 75, that of oxygen sv , ll be 30, and 75 parts of iron combines with 10 parts of oxy gen, with 20 parts or with 30 parts.—The number representing chlorine will he, 30.--Metallic' Oxyds also combine chemically with definite proportions of water.—lf an alkaline solution be poured into a metallic solution, the metal is precipitated, and it has generally been, supposed that this precipitate is' a metallic oxyd, but Sir H. Davy onset . % ecl, that it was not an oxyd, but an h 3 drat, that is, axon:bora lion of water with an oxyd, and this water niers into the combination chemically, and in' a d .finite proportion.—The substance known as the white oxyd of manganese is an oxyd of manganese united with water, if it be inclosed in a glass tube, and heat be applied to it, a copious qbantity of witer will he expelled, and its colour will be darkened.— An impottant and curious question remains still to be decided. Are the metal- themselves compounds of mere fimple elements ? The LeCturer stated that s: , rne chctunstances appeared to lead' to the conclu sion that they were. Mercury,, when exposed, to the action Of the Voltaic tile, in contain. t.v.ith am monia, eniaNes considerably .in bulk, and'lntans with it a substance having all the properties of a so lid metallic autalgam. This amalgam combines rea dily with platinai which mercury alone will not. do: Ammonia is known to be a compound of drOgen and azote; hence it should appear that One or- both of these substances, which exist in a gaseous state, are capable, under certain circumstances, of becom ing metallic. The oiler Metpls , may; therefore, be compounds, and. may owe their greater degrees of levity a*rd combustibility to a greater ;‘ortiou of ht.- drogen.—(On this point we observe, that ihe French chemists Berthollet, Goy- LusaC, and Thenard, are opposed to Sir H. Davy, as they do not admit that expetiments prove the metalliematore of ammonia. The Lecturer proceeded to observe, that the decom position of the metals, and the discovery of the de meets of which they are composed, ,will confer im mortal honour on the discoterer, and'on, the are and country in which the diScovery shalt be made. Nor should we, he observed, deem such 'dis coveries ,unattainable, merely because tlity oppose our. pre-conceived notions tormed on present expe tience ; we are acquainted wiih many fads in science, which would have appeared equally incre dible to our ancestors. The • fietiurer stated that the metallic nature of the earths; and their intiatu inability, when in contact with water, will .4tford an explanation of the cause of-volcanic fires. and me teoric stones, and supported the opinions which he advanced on this subject in the Leaures of the pre cediog.year. BARTLEMAN, and .GREATO - aux, resumed, their delightful COnve i ls, at the Ha nover-square Room - s, on Friday night. It was the sixth performance. The seleMion appeared to give very general satisfaelion. Miidaillec.:ATALANl sung, two Airs, which received the unanimous applatise of the company. Mrse BIANCHI LACY, in " Fare wel, ye limpid Springs :" HARRISON, in " Odi grand 'ombra," with HOLMES'S Bassoon accompa niment; and BARTLEMAN in "'['he Sailor's Adieu," compoied by HORSLEY, were very interesting and impressive; the last was encored. The Requiem Of JOMELLI ; PURCELL'S " Come if . you dare ;" a Grand Motet by MOZART; a new Duet byWEaua, jun. and a new Glee by BURROWES, were among the favourite performances of the evening. Master KING, Goss, and BELLAMY, gave great effect to th'e Madrigal and Grees ; and several fine Choruses, under the direction of -Mr. GREATOREX, were cor realy and spiritedly .perfortned. Messes. Waren- SELL; MORALT," and LINDLEY received great ap plause for the manner in which they executed HANDEL'S Concerto from Select Harmony. The Room was completely filled with a brilliant 'com pany. Hi's Royal Highness the Duke of CAM BRIDGE; the Eari FORTESCUE, the Counte , s of DARNLEY, and sevecal others of the Nobility, occu pied the Royal boxes. It is said that Mr. COATIS, the celebrated Ama teur Ador, bas offered 'to perform Hamlet on the opening of the new Drury-Lane Theatre. As the Theatre itself, on . that occasion, will be sufficiently attraaive, it would be more prudent to deter such an extraordinary performance till curiosity begins to pall, for at any time it will be sure of drawing a crowded audience. 111 T. WILKIE'S EXHIBITION of all the PICTURES he has painted, including stveral which have never appeared before the Public, will Open, at No. 87, Pall-Mall, on Monday, the 20th of April. The impatience of the Public for the appearance of the French Edition of theTAAVELS and MimoillS Of the learned DE CHATEAUBRIAND has been great, and we are glad to find it may at length be satisfied, as Copies may now be procured of Mr. COLBURN, Conduit-street, and a few other Booksellers. Naval Commissioned Officers of every description are requested 10 obServe, that the Subscription now open at LLOYD'S is wholly unconnected with the Naval Charitable Society, that admirable charily be ing of a permanent nature, and concluded by Officers of the Navy only. bISTURBANCES ./1141`01C7GST THE MINEI?S. We regret CO say; tinh diinribanitirS, occasioned solely, by the scarcity of corm have arisen among the Cornish. miners, particularly in the districts round Iledruth, Canabot ne, and Ti uro. On Monday t hey assembled in great numberi, and proceeded to the Ironies of, several farmers, whom they induced to sign a written engagement to sell them wheat at Shillings, and barley at fifteen shillings, Cor- . nitsh measure, or three Winches , er bushels. Where this -,enagement wag readily acquiesced in, the - ruiners offered no vio!enCe, but contented the with soliciting a little bread, on ar!inl of food which some of them deelared they had, not tasted tor several dayS. , Where any reluctance to sign the eneagewent was - manifested, threats were resorted to, but - theV were, •in no instance, we apprehend, carried into etfe.9. On the intelence of these -proCeedipgs reaching Truro, the 3d or -North Corn wall - reginient of Local Militia was called out by the order of Lieutenant,Colonel Warren, and the greater part ot the men residing in the . nethbourhgod obeyed the summons, in uniform,' but without mtiskets.
