Mr. Tighe's rout, in St. James's-place last night, was nu merously and elegantly attended. Mn. THr.LwAr.r..—The political character and oratorical powers of this Gentleman are well known to the public, hut we had never an oppor tunity of witnessing his talents till we last night attended the first of his proposed course of Lec tures on the Genius and 'Writings of SuAK.sertA a E. It was evident ~throughout his discouse that lie had not only studied the works.of that great Poet, but that he brought requisite powers for so important find so interesting an . investigation. onrlimi of ts,wahiaßtl therefore can W e a re ne_ cess o a n r l i y l 7 ta c k ol e lfi a ne brief tlni notice occupied several hours in the delivery, but which excited great attention and deservedly received great applause. Mr. TII FAA' ALL \V ills Much acumen analyzed the qualit":,s and the main pur pose of the great dramatic Bard, the greatest, to the honour of this country, that the world ever possessed. After a long, but not tedious preliminary Discourse,. e _ he pro ceedrd to an examinationof Th e 'T em p e a.— lie critically delineated the chief -'chara eters in . this unrivalled drama, and ,delivered his remarks w i t h th e an imation and -‘ , ntliusiasm .which the subject must unavoidably e . xcite : i u e very man of t a ste and feeling. He "'cued some of 04e most interesting acmes with impressive, ener;;;y, and than proceeded to compare the , at t e rations made by Da. - vnEx and DATENANT, properly and empha tically reprobatiwg the folly and presumption of the attempt. lie also recited With stronfretfect the vele b rated speech of Mcrcullo. then touched upon Dtt D EN'S imi tation of charactprs in The Tempest, in his Masque of King Arthu r . We thought ke was rather too hard in his co mm ents upon the Poetical character of D a 'i n L 1 t made )L 1 amends by his tribute to the merits of two of his most celebrated Poems. Ile concluded with due encomiums on the sublime powers of SMAKSPRAIVE ' and MILTON, and closed Lecture With a recital of ArAxANottas P ' , -Arr. In justice JM o r. Tit ELWALL it should he stated, that not one po- Utica( allusion, either direc t or implied, occurred during the whole of his discourse. We are of opinion that if Mr. l'nEr.vvALL had devoted his talents in early life to the theatrical profession, instead of politics, he would probably have been a distinguished ornament of the stage. He is cer tainly " declined into the vale of years"—.“ yet that's not much,"and from the energy of his powers —the juvenile animation -of his manner, and the characteristic propriety of his action, he might still appear to great advantage iii a public assumption of some characters adapted to his time of life. We cannot conclude without an observation upon his mode of pronouncing the words Nature, Picture, tic., as his Hachure and Picchure seemed to ap pear elaborately affected, and, like nea, readings introduced on the Stage, diverted} 'the mind from the substance of his remarks to the- peculiarity of his pronunciation. On thew hole, the LECTURE was highly creditable to his abilities and attain ments,. and is well entitled to obtain public atten tion and encouragement. Mr. Secretary CANNING'S statement respecting the West Indies, which was to have been made to the House of Commons to-morrow, is postponed till Thursday, the 16th inst., as the Right lion. Gentleman will not be able to attend his Parlia mentary duties till after the funeral of the Mar quis of TrrcurtEr.n. FAUX PAS IN HIGII LIFE.—One of those de. relictions from the path of duty, which so rarely occur in this country, has given a deep and lasting wound to the bosom of a most worthy and respectable, though not a very wealthy man. Mr. 11 , a resident of one of our squares is the suffering party ; the Captain of a Dragoon regiment not quartered in Dublin, a gentleman of wealth, and consideration, is the gay Lothario. The lady is a mother of three children, and must have already reached her twenty-fifth year. On Wednesday night the relaircissement took place ; on the following (lay she abruptly left the concealment to which shame had consigned her, and plac ed herself under the protection of her seducer. What adds to the poignancy of the husband's sufferings is, that Mrs. B— has taken her youngest infant with her. The matter will, of course, he inv2stigaled in due time ; but, in the interim, it is lamentable to think how the triumph of vice, and the arts of a villain, can spread desolation in the home of an honourable and worthy man.—( The (Dublin) Star, March 8.)

' ' ' THE KING'S COURT, LEVEE, &c. ORATORIO, DRURY-LANE. .01t. rouros.---Last night the second performs. mice took place at Drury-Lane Theatre. The rich collection, in combination with the vocal and instrumental merit, announced in the bills of the day, drew together an elegant and numerous audience,-who, to the honour of the musical taste of the country, duly appreciated and highly ap plauded almost every part of the performance.— f f we decline devoting our space to a particular notice of BRAPIAM, SAPIO, SINCLAIR, Mrs. SAL MON, Miss STEPHENS, and Miss PATON, it is be cause their exquisite and extraordinary powers are so well known and universally acknowledged. But the claims of Mr. 'l'. NYELsu, as the singer of " Mad Tom " of Mr. ANDERSON, as a piano -forte performer, of Mr. Nicitor.soN, as a flutist, and of VIMERCATI, as a mandolinist, are of a nature not to be disregarded by us, as the avowed lovers and patrons of rising talents. Mr. WELsit did more justice to PURCEL than we expected : the compass of his voice, especially in the lower part of its register, is extending itself, and his con ception and spirit brightening and augmenting. NICHOLSON'S wonderful tact il l .4.lnti to improve every time we hear hitn, and VimcnciTt's exe-1 cution on an instrument for excellence on which nature has so perfectly fitted his dexterity, is as gratifying as surprising. The effect of the whole was truly delighting ; and while it extorted the warmest applause, did grer.t credit to the able and judicious director, whose generous preference of the native abilities of the country that is protecting and extolling his genius and ind us t r y, and, we are pleased at being able to add, rewarding them with a golden harvvst. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRICAL FUND. The Ninth public Anniversary of this PNcellont charity was celebrated yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern.— Soon after six o'clock his Royal Highness the Duke of K, the President of the Society, entered the room, accompanied by the Marquis of licrtforcl,theMarquisofHuntly, Lord Nugent, Sir George Warrender, Bart., M.P., Sir William ('ongreve, Bart., M.P., Sir Charles Flower, Bart— Sir Richard Birnie, Mr. Calcraft, M.P. Mr. Richard Martin, %1.P., and Captain Forbes. Nearly 301) Gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous dinner. The galleries were graced by an assemblage of Ladies, consisting principally of the actresses of the Covent-garden establishment. The orchestra was filled by a hand of great skill and ability, who, from time to time, enlivened the evening with a variety of popular, lively, and pathetic airs. Behind the Chair was a kind of canopy, under which was a bust of Shakspitare. An inscription encircled it, stating the name of the charity, and below that was the following motto from our immortal dramatist :—" Ile bath a tear for pity, and a hand open as day for inching charity." The cloth having been removed, "Benedictus sit Deus" was sung in admirable voice by the professional vocalists, who gave their assistance on this occasion. The health of the King, the patron of the Society, was then drank with tour times four rounds of applause ; after which the national anthem was sung with unrivalled effect, two of the verses being led by Mr. Sinclair in his highest style. •• The Royal Family" was then proposed with the custo mary honours, and received with applause; after which came •"rhe Army and Navy." Air—•• Rule Britannia." "'The Covent-Garden Theatrical Fund" was then drank amidst considerable cheering. Son—" The Soldier's Gratitude," by Mr. Sinclair. The M arquis of HERTFORD then rose to propose the health of their Illustrious President, whose unchanging kindness to the Society had induced him to take the Chair at nine succes sive anniversaries in that room. The Noble Lord acid he felt that the Society owed a large debt of gratitude to his Royal Highness, which they would be glad of an opportunity of ac knowledging.—(Applause.)—lt would be imputing to them a forgetfulness of their duty to enlarge on the merits of his Royal Highness, and he should therefore content himself with proposing the health of their Illustrious President.— ( Applause.) The toast was received with loud cheers, and drank with general enthusiasm. Isis Roree limetxEss said, it gave him the greatest plea sure to witness the growth and prosperity of the Society, the objects of which must be dear to every Englishman ; lust' to none, he believed he might with truth assure them, dearer than to himself. He congratulated them on the numerous and re spectable body assembled to celebrate their anniversary on the present occasiom Ilis Noble Friend had reminded him, that this was the ninth anniversary at which he had presided. He was gratified that he had been instrumental in contributing to the success•of the Society ; and he wished them to be satisfied sr l e i g g a l regard to „s that he would in future continue to exercise th e am e E their welfare.—(Cheers.)—ln conclusi on , his Royal adverted to the prosperity of the fund ; and repeated the ex pression of the pleasure it bad afForded him, to learn that so useful and excellent a charity had already met with so liberal an acknowledgment of its merits from the-British public, who, inde a were never slow in patronising iustitutios of such a nature. 11 tun the applause which followed his Royal Highness' s ness and melody not to he excelled. No performance : i d y d e r b e s a e l l lad subsided, asaof,,oMr. John And . e ßo ys r ol a i d m h y st r Jose," sang e,r the in a style finely xpe of s e tender_r through out the evening diffused more general delight. The next toast was " The Vice-Presidents," which was Wel . corned with considerable applause. The conferred Marquis LT rose to return thanks for the honour o u f po i t i l u li s in i: sself and his colleagues. Exclusive of the pleasure he felt in contributing his aid to the success of such an institution, he assured them it gave bins no little satis faction to find himself seated at a festive table with so agree able a company of jovial fellows—(Cheers)—especially when his gratification was enhanced by a glimpse behind the curtain at so brilliant a bevy of beauties as he then saw assembled in the galleriee._(Loud cheers.)—His gallantry would not allow him to conclud e without proposing A toast in which he was cer tain every Gentleman would join with as much fervour us he felt in suggesting it. The Noble Marquis t!izn proposed, " The Ladies," which was received with the warmest mani festations of the approbation of the Society. Mr. T. Cooke then executed on the piano -forte a mock Ittilan air, accompanied with his voice. The exquisite absurdity of the parody excited notch merriment. The health of the Treaeurer of the Fund, John Fawcett, Esq. was then given from the Chair, and warmly received by the company. Mr. FAWCETT expressed the gratitude he felt for the hand some return made by the company for the services he had. been able to render the Charity. lie believed that very erro neous notions prevailed generally with respect to the ability of performers to provide for their declining years. The pub lic heard of the large salaries which some of them received, and it was inferred hastily that they ought not to be over taken by distress. He was anxious, therefore, to avail him self of that opportunity of vindicating them from the perni cious effects of this mistaken reasoning. Performers in general were not the improvident, thoughtless, and extravagant race of men they were considered to be. Suppose the salary of an actor was 12 guineas a week. It was estimated that he enjoyed en income of 624 guineas a year; but no calculation could be more erroneous. In the first place, he received his salary only during the theatrical season, which would reduce his gross income to somewhat less than 400 guineas a year, out of which he had to defray a great number of expencea arising from his profession, which would be conceived only by those who belonged to it.— Having thus endeavoured to correct an opinion which he knew operated to their prejudice, he could not refrain from congratulating them on the growth and prospects of the Institution. Its benefits could be thoroughly under stood only by those who had taken an active part in distri buting the charity. The profession of a player was unlike every other,—when old age overtook him, he could not fall back on the generosity with which the public rewarded those who spent their lives in other branches of the public ser f vice. The moment the approach of age withered the talents j of the performer, he found himself alone and abandoned, in a world which would be to him cheerless and desolate in deed, if the theatrical fund did not exist to succour and relieve him.—(Cheers.)--It was gratifying also to them to reflect, as it must be satisfactory to the subscribers to know, that more cf the benefactions were applied to the objects for which !hey were given in that society, than perhaps in any other in existence.— (Cheers.)—No officer received any salary or allowance, not even the secretary, whose duty was so onerous and difficult to ells charge.—(Cheers.)—The worthy Treasurer then alluded to the general prospects of the Society, which he declared to be in a highly flourishing state. He had not forgotten the patron age the stage had enjoyed from the most virtuous King who had ever been seated on the British throne. It was now honoured with the gracious re;ard of our present illustrious :!;overeign, whom he prayed God to bless and .preserve. li e also adverted to the condescension which had induced the Royal President again to confer the benefit of his attendance upon them, and con c luded with expressing his confidence that under such auspices the stage must flourish, and its decayed votaries be secured front the reach of distresS ._(Cheers.) " The Proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre" was the next Captain FORBES returned thanks, in a neat and expressive speech. Mr. Mathews then, by desire of the Chair, gave a new, witty, and appropriate song, in favour of the charity ; after which the collection was commenced from the company. 'While it was proceeding the healths of the Committee and Stewards was drank, and Mr. YATES, in behalf of his colleagues, returned thanks, in imitation of the manlier of a popular performer. Mr. rawc Eler then announced the amount of the benefac tions received ; His Majesty had transmitted his annual dona tion of 100 guineas.—(Cheers.)—Their illustrious Chairman had repeated his annual gift of 50 guineas. —(Cheers.)—Ilia (race the Duke of Bedford, who was unfortunately absent through ill-health, but who had proved himself one of their warmest friends, had also given his usual handsome benefac tion. Mrs. Coutts had sent 501; for herself and 20!. for a daughter, m a ki ng i n t h e whole 701.—(Cheers.)—It would weary the company to go th roug h the list of subscriptions. He would content him s elf w ith stating generally the result. Before. the din ner t h ere h a d b een rece i ved a sum exceeding 3001. Since the thinner the collection at the table w a s upw a rd s of 6001. —The total amount ( as we un d erstoo d the worthy Treasurer), includin g t h e rece i pts f rom every quarter since the last anni versary, was 1,450/.—(Cheers.)—This was a .most gratifying statement, lie was sure, as it exceeded in amount any previous year's receipts, and therefore held out the best promise that the benefits of the charity would be insured, not only to the present race of performers, but to their successors. " The Drury-Lane Theatrical Fund" was then given. Mr. CaLcitarT returned thanks, as, he believed, the only member of that fund present. Ile assured them he felt equally anxious for the success of both, and trusted the only rivalry between them would be as to which should best fulfil the object for which it was instituted. " The me.nory of the late Mr. Coutts," and several other toasts, were drank, suitable to the occasion, in gratitude to past services, or in anticipation of future ; and a rich 'variety or Yoe 1 music throughout the evening afforded altogether one of the highest series of enjoyments of which we ever partook. It seems invidious to particularize any where :11 were so well exe clted, but we cannot refrain from mentioning " The. Death of Nelson," by Sinclair ; ` . Green grow the rushes, 0," by Broadhurst; and a beautiful jcot ch air by Miss Paton, swag in • her most admirable style from the r allery. Several ex cellent vim were also performed with pet feet precision and the finest effect. The more sensual entertainments Of the evening were in an equal style of superiority. The wines were exceedingly good, a!:d the arrangements of the dinner alts gether highly creditable t) the parties concerned.
