PRCIRY-LANS THEATRE. Bertram perforated for the fifteenth time, last night.. The Drtiry-lane Managenient is still puffing some of its Meinbers, and this Tragedy together It is thus that persons of no .inerit often obtain the notoriety they covet, by attach ing themselves to successful authors or artists. At the period when Bertram was first performed, reprehended the ostentatious way in which several of the rulers of the Theatre paraded their patronage of the Author. 'We gave an impar tial' criticism upon his Play, and though we hailed it more as a. work of future promise that of the present excellence ascribed to it by most of our Contemporaries, we could not en. ilure the idea of the Writer, a man of talent and .genius, being placed in the invidious and humi liating light in which he Was placed by these vain egotists.' But if these were. our feelings when we supposed their representations true, our Readers will readily believe that they were aggravated when we learnt- that Mr. MATtiaitt -was not the poor Cur:tee wh . ose sustenance depended on the charitable reception of his. play- ' —nor the needy mendicant of littrature,,who would starve if some generous Lord or liberal :Manager did not nobly stand torward to relieve and cherish obscure ge tints—hut a man of independence, sittlicicot to shield hint. from all this :degradation—nor to re ceive favours from persons winlcan bOast of their. beneficent acts, is the gt west ut alldegradation. There,is a Mr. G. Lana, who is mentioned in a ng Paper, as having the merit of " direct tog: and executing alterations' necessary to adapt this piece to Abe Stage, greatly to the satistaction of the Author"-»-whontitese liberal. puffers seem resolved to leave'as little of the actin of tiffs Own prodnetion as they possibly can. , .., OBLitoN'S OATH. Poor THOMPSON, the author ~f this piece, fell on Sunday last a prey to ante feelings. The .nrigenerous, and, we may sichl, unmerited at tack, which was made on Obcroa on the first hight, affected him very much, for he had been led, by favourable reports of the perforniers, to expect it would be crowned with the most brilliant success, and had calculated on pro ducing a piece annually, which would have been p little annuity to.him. . The CS:CVSs of his disappointment could .only be equalled by his tratibports . of - , joy, .wlien, on the second represen tation, his production was honoured with univer,.. sal.applause. Thus plunged front one extreme to the other, he was taken alarmingly ill on Satur day and died the next, day. lie was at Drury lane on Friday night, and said to Mr. PARRY, that so much was he pleased with the music which he had adapted to his words., th,itt he would very shortly wait on hint with another play. The Managers of Drury-lune intend, it is said,- to alter and compress Oberon's Oath into one rict, and to perform .it for the benefit of the Author's Wits and three Children; who are left totally un provided tor.

NATIONAL. MONUM ENT. We .have never been more gratified by the in spection of any Model or Design fora National Monument, than that which is the subject of the following description, and which we were last week admitted to view by the politeness of Messrs. PHILLIP and -- ‘VyATT, to whose talents it owes its origin. Jr is a Model on a. grand scale, beautifully executed, and wottLy of the cuneep tion of a memorial so everlasting in torus, so mg pendons. in magnitude, No rich in tire capacity for : recording the long history of British triihnplis and yet combining. with this power of detail a general sublimity and magnificence unequalled by any monument of modern ages, intended as a truly national trophy to tell rtli the mighty deeds,, Naval and ,Military, of the late War, it is neccs. 'wily of prodigious extent, and thus one of the great sources of the true sublime ivas forced upon the plan of the Architects. But it is their praise,. in our opinion, to have admirably filled up the mighty space their subject demanded. From the ba-se to the summit of the Pyramid there arc stages .of external galleries, all the sides of which are occupied with the'basso-relievo representations of thoseKlurimis battles which have led Great Britain to a pinnicle elevated as its own. We are thus enabled to beg i n tie illustrious story of our vic tories, and read it as we rut; froth bottom to top— a manifest and important improvement npon the Trojan Pillar or Buonaparte (Annul, where the tipp,r, parts 'of the history is lost to the eye of spectators, who can only gaze at them from the . _ ground. , , Tile description of the design is however so comprehensive iu the annexed sketch 'of its authors, that we shall not detain Our readers longer from it than to say, that the first impres sions .he n►u(ld made upon our Minds were those of great novelty, grandeur, and genies ---which imprestioto have been confirmed by. examination and reacction EXTERIOR. " This Pyramid is intended to record the.

The Car or the reverse side of the model. ,contains a statue of his Royal Highness the Doke o f yurk, Conanander ! in-Chief of the forces ; his horses led by Justice and Discrituination ; the fi g ures surrounding the Car represent the heads ,of the.

At the angles of the Temple are four allego riCal‘ figures representing the four quarters of the. globe.

" The Pyramid is' ascended by inward stairs bet Ween each gallery at the door-ways ; the up permost tier is as easy of ascent as the lowest, each tier having a space of eight feet foot-tray all round, and a' covered' way at tour feet formed by succeeding tier. • INTERIOR. "The interior of this Pyramid, for the purposes of strength and space, would be constructed itt the form. of a cone, awl would admit of numerous compartments, comprising a magnificent circular saloon, the largest in liutrope, above 200 feet high, which might be appropriated to any great national pitrpose, and several oblong rooms of various olimensions ftfr the main-guard of tho town, &c. &c. "The interior of the base (or screen), includ ing the buildings at the angles and door-ways, will form four grand galleries, each upwards of 2.00 fee in leni.oh, admirably calculated for our national schools of painting, sculpture,' ee lure, and mechanics SMITE FOR THIS BUILDING.
