MR. EDITOR—h would be more gratifying to your Readers if yon were not so irregular in your LITERARY REVlevv, as that is one of the most amusing features of your 'Journal ; but you not only snspend that department of your l'ap: r, hut stiffer lung intervals to pass when you have en tered into a series of notices on a Work that m ay have excited the attention of your Readers. For instance, the At tide respecting the new 'Fransia• lion of THB revels, *hick, after proceeding in a critique through the several books, and belvlog made considerable progress in au examination of the NoTEs, you scent wholly to have relinquished, though I can assure you (1111 much critical cu• riosity prevailed on the subject at tins place VttiGlL will always be a favourite Author with Scholars, and the Clas.ical Honour of the Coon iry is concerned in *new translation of that revered Work, which stamps its Author as one of the greatest Poets that the world has yet seen. therefore hope, Sir, that you will resume your no ' lice of a production which does so much honour to the learning, candour, and poetical powers of the new Translator, and proceed tO the conclusion of your animadversions, in spite of the Barbarians who are endeavouring to bring all that adds grace and dignity to the social Edifice to ruin, and to reduce the whole into the rubbish of anarchy. Cambridge, July2s. AMICUS. *** We regret to have incurred the displeasure of our University Friends, and shall actor) attend to the request of our Correspondent. FOlt THE SUN. PUBLIC GOSSIPING. Mr. EDITOR—There i►t a Kt ievance which,though to he numbered among the lesser evils at lite, is really a great annoyance to grave and orderly people. rim, DRAMA is admitted to he the most rational and most useful of all public amuse ments. People pay liberally for admission, and might to be pc' mittrel to enjoy the entertainme►:ts of the stage, not only without interruption from drunken men and umfortunate women, but Iron) chattering visitors in the boxes. Yet, every nigh:, (Inlet auditors, are disturbed by the continual prattle of Beaux and Belles, who talk almost as loudly as the Performers on the s►age. L 351 nigh', at the Haymarket Theatre, it was my hard fate to sit in the next box to one which contained a brood of those male and female gossips, who were en gaged in an incessant prattling during the whole of the performances, and therefore, instead of enjoying the animated dialogue of The Rivals, and the excellent support given to the respecti►e cha racters on the stage, all of the audience who were near the chatter-Box were oblired to hear the nonsense of its tenants. They were frequently rebuked by the reprehensive glances of their peaceable neighbours but such a censure on their offensive folly was too delicate to have any effect. One of the Box Orators, in his solicitude to in form his fair companions of what was to be the subject of the ensuing scene, prevented their at tending to that which was then performing, so that lie must as often have annoyed his own pAtty as he did those who 114 d the misfortune to be within ear-shot of his officious itilorm,tiou. Ano- ther disgusting practice in the Boies of the Theatres. is the habit which some peisans have adopted of repeating to their companions what is tittered on the Stage, and, I am sorry to say, that these Echoes are chiefly to be found among the females. But, Mr. Editor, as the Theatre has been aptly sailed " an Evening School for Grown Ladies and Ge►►tlemen," it is proper, that nobody should he heard but those who are repeating the lessons on the stage, This is a Reforming Age, Sir, and, at least, it is to be hoped that some Reformation will take place in the minor grievances to which I have now (hewn your attentiou, and that Adult Scholars who frequent the Dramatic Seminary, in order to improve themselves in good morals, and knowledge of life, as the former are inculcated, and the latter exhibi.eil in its chief mirror, the Stage, may be permitted- to hear the instructions provided for them by the best Tragic and Comic Tutors. Oxford Coffee-House, July 80. CENSOR. RAE, during the interregnum at Drury-Lane Theatre, is, it seems, engaged ►o perform at what used to be denominated the Royally Theatre. Mr. BucKs's Tragedy is not likely to sink into oblivion, for besides the admirable recitation of Miss MAcatmuY, it was read a few nights ago by a Gentleman named ACKLAND, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, and very well received. His imi tation of KEAN in the principal character was close and striking. A smart contest is expected for the County of Longford, in consequence' of the death of Sir THO MAS FEATHERSTONE, Bart, the late Member. . _ The Memoirs of an Eccentric Lord are at length puhlisl►ed, %Oh mod) mystery, under the title of a' Ilarcid the Exile." . . This morning, between 12 and 1 o'clock, an altmiug fist bloke out in the house of Mr. SAN - fnas, butcher, Back-lane, St. George's in the East. It was first discovered iu the cellar, and soon communicated to the room above, which was entirely consumed. On Sunday last a young boy fell into the marshes in the New Cut, Lambeth . , where he was nearly (frowned. A person passing at' the moment had tole of Mr. Kendall's life jackets its his posses sion, which he instantly put on, plunged into the marshes, and fortunately saved the boy. SUDDEN DEATHS.--AD Inquest Was held yes terday before STIRLING, Esq. at the Ashby Castle, Northampton-square, Clerkenwell, on the body of Mr. Peter Maxton, a respectable master baker, of Spencer-street, in that neighbourhood, who, when in the act of attending his business in his bake-house about four o'clock on Tuesday morning, suddenly fell down and expired in stantly. .Verdict—" Visitation of God ."—Ano. tiler 'flyless was held at the same time and place on the body of Mr. Samuel Hid, who for many years held a vet y responsible situation in the Stamp-offire, Somerset-house, when it appeared, that on Isis return to dinner at his usual tiuse, on Tuesday afternoon, he complained of being un well, sent for some medieite, and laid down, and so a short time he was found by his wile lifeless.

The concourse of people • was immense, and they testified their gratification by repeated cheers, after which they dispersed, highly delighted with the condescen sion and affability of the Noble host and hostess. On Thursday, and the whole of yesterday; all the coaches and vehicles of every description were put in requisition, to convey away the luggage of the different families, most of whom have departed.

Mr. Nelson, of Queen's, and Mr. Wright, of Christ Church, were circuit Fellows of the same Society. The Dean and Chapter of Christ Church have ptesentetl the Rev.

At an Ordination by the Lout Bishop of Wor cester, at Hartlebury Castle, on Sunday, the Rev. Cornelius Copner was ordained a Priest, and Walter Davenport, A.B. a Deacon. PRESENTATION.—Ou Thursdely last the Rev. John Anthony Partridge, Clerk, A'. B. was insti tuted to the Rectory of Town Barningham, in the county of Norfolk, on the prementation of John Thurston Mott, of Town Barniughatu-hall, Esq. BAamoLomEw FAIR, &c. It is generally hoped and supposed that the Chief Magistrate of the City will endeavour ro a period to the disgrac , ttil scenes which annually take place in Smithfield, by demanding for the grown, such a sum of money as cannot easily be reached by those who entertain and exhibit. Should the charter of London not interfere with other measures by which ibis riotous parade of mummery and vice can be aboliihed, we believe it would not be going too tar to say, that Bar tholomew Fair would be soon no more than a name. The Committee. of City Lands will be consulted on the subject, anti on the result of the Chiet Magistrate's communication with thent wilt d e pend the continuance or (100411 Of chit vdest source of pollution. The atrocities coin.- mitted at West-end Fair have given additional strength to the ninny other reasons for an inuer. tetence by the Chief Magistrate, whose atten tion was yesterday accidentally called to the subject, inimmation having been given to hilts that the " Show-men" were about to apply for their accostomed stations at the usual price. It appears that doting the present mayoralty the Duke's-place Fair, so notorious for disorder of all kinds, received a check, which is the fore-run. tier of its dissolution. The Jews were accustom ed to have a week set apart every year for rioting. Robberies and violence of every sot t wet e the t tiling entertainments t he moment flight came on ,and often has thecity police,the best regulated iu tlo comfy! y, been attacked by hands of ruffians, whose drip elk. dons would have been most extensive, but for the spirit and activity of the officers. 'l've last fair at Duke's-place lasted no more than two days, by the Chief Magistrate's order, and would have been totally prevented had not the ground be en let—a circumstance which, in the event of the abolition of the fair, would have done consider. able injury to the purchaser's. The Jews are all aware that their amusetneuts of this kitut in ' Duke's-place ate at an end, and there is a strong. expectation that the Chief iNlagistrate will h e a s peremptory in his orders with re•prct to Sm field, which has been so long itt the habit 1-1 re ceiving such foul herds of thieves and prostitutes. —(Times.) The following observations, extracted from the valuable Report of the "Society for the Improve ment of Prison Discipline, and ibe Reformation of Juvenile Offenders," are deserving of the se riot's consideration of the Tib;ic ; and the recent disgraceful scenes of violence and plunder that occurred at West-end Fair, and which, to a con+ iderable extent, are repeated at similar assem- Wages of people in the immediate vicinity or the Metropolis, will, it is hoped, induce the Legis lature to interpose its authority, in order to their final suppression : " the immediate vicinity of London there are no less than eighty-two foir days in the space of seven nitniths : every species of debauchery and profligacy is here encouraged and promoted ; gambling, drunkenness, seduction, and all the train ot. vices necessarily concomitant with unrestrained licentiousness. The fairs are a general rendezvous for all the most infamous characters, and furnish a plentitid harvest for swindlers, pick pockets, and all who prey 'iron the comionniiy. It is difficult to con eeke what beneficial end can be ans%%ered by their continnance; as a mart fo r the sale o f merchandise they are not reviled ; neither are they calculated to serve 'such ti purpose, nor are they in fact at all instrumental in Taunting . trade. We know by experience that they disturb the peace of the community, occasion g reat trouble to the Magistrates, and fill the Public °Ct., with complaints of riots and depredations. There seems to be no good teason for [hair fur her since : all the efforts of the Magistracy to styes' the licentiousness which always prevails have been . uttrtly unsuccessful, • and the mischief al present arising from them Call only be di' ctually prevent ed by an entire abolition."—Re i mit fur 1818. LINCOLN'SANN-HALL.—Workincn are now em ployed in erecting a partition in the old kitchen. part of which, together with the present passage way, is to be added to the Hall. There is to be new passage nearly parallel with the side tit the Old Square.
