ST. AI.ARTIN' AND sT. PAUL'S NATIONAL 'SCHOOL. On the 26th ult. with a satisfaction truly na tional, we emoraced an opportunity while insirt inL!'au account of that excellent Charity the " Re fuge for the Destitute." to Whir some remarks on the gratifying Intiltitude and extent of British Charities, which are indeed an honour to the Country. Among other benevolent Institutions which have lately come under our observation, there is not one to which, as far as it goes, we can more .conscientiously desire to reader a ser 7 vice,. by making it better known to the public,. than that, the name of which is placed at the head of this Article. Of all the theories for con stituting-a virtuous people, it will at once be con ceded, that early education, and moral instruction, is incomparably•the best. - Punishments are but weak in deterring from crime when the habits of the lower orders have been formed in idleness and vice ; while on the other hand, youth nurtured in the paths of honest industry, and blessed with, that portion of information which enlightens with out confounding., becomes in maturer age; •not only more susceptible of'restraint front the dread Of shame, but less apt to be led away by guilty propensities or examples from having acquired sound and steady principles: These reflections occurred to us at the first ge neral meeting - of the above School, which took place yesterday in Castle-Street, Leicester-Square, under the presidency of the B/SHOP of LONDON.— This School, has heeu opened three months, and 'already contains 400 Children, who are instruct ed on the Madras system, for the introduction of .which the gratirade-of the-Country is due to Dr. BELL. A public examination was gone through, and the progresS exhibited by the Scholars afford ed at once a proud testimonial to the merits of the system, and the zeal and assiduity of those who superintend this Charity. • Rewards were dis tributed to the most deserving. A Report of the State of the runds was read by the Secretary, when it'appeared that this mass •of human good and prOspect of human happiness were founded on a subscription of only 9701. of which 7451. had been expended—that the Society had, above 8001. still to pay for school-rooms, &c.--so that there was ail actual deficiency of uearly.6ool. To meet this demand, a further subscription was en tered into ; and Nvileti it is considered that the ' welfare or misery of snore than four hundred of our fellow-creatures may depend on the success of this benevolent undertaking, We are sure we need not add.one syllable to recommend it to those who can feel the delight arising out of well-be stowed charity. 'l l .'e ought, perhaps, to have noticed that there • ace alleady Parochial_ Schools -in each of the Parishes, in common to which this laudable ln stitution- has 6ft:it ffivnicd:i,t..• POTI*, Sir E.

Last night was a kind of trial at- this house, atu! public opinion began to tnaniteSt itself loudly against t::e - most shabby entertajnarents which are now proVided at the most extravagantly expen.- sive Theatre in Europe. The Comic Opera was again represented, if ,ve inay.designate Ore cornic,"whiCh is so grievously doh, as to be inure se riously afflictive than " thescrious;" and a meagre house was so meagrely treated; that it could not retrain from an expression of marked disappro bation. The only antusenietit we derived Iron) the Per 7 forniances arose in reading the . fotiowing Criti cisihs in the - Morning Papers : " The substitute for it 6-idey'a,vitt,l was T i a Dam; Soldata, which went off with its accustomed Vicces.s."—(f. Foal) " Madame Mt, Cam) and her junior asiociates retired with an ample share public approoation„ The Ballet of Le L'ul fete liagtiad went off witit its asaal kappy rAtt on a ter" fashionable audience."—(m go) This is corroborated by the British Press, which says, La Dame &Idea was performed last night, with its usual eclat; Nl7idatile DEL Luto, and the rest of the Corps de Belled; received dtserced applause. The ballet of Le Celife de Beedad closed the amusements of the evening, 'to the perfect satistaetion of a well attended house." • The Similarity of these paragraphs swack of the ,slfnie Waters, and against then, we have the Morning Chrunicte:— " Last night, at the King's Theatre; the comic Opera was again substituted for the se: ions--to the great dismay. oi the audience. 41t the clue the distipprolialiom was lucid aud ge neral. We trust we have seen the last of it." Non nostrum tantas co;aponere lites. COVENT•GARDEN TH EATRE. MISS O'NEILL. Miss O'NEtt.t. has so deservedly become one of the chief favourites of the Public, that we regret we have to state that she was so ninety overpower— ed by her feelings last night in the performance of Isabella, at this Theatre, as to be unable to p roc eed i n the part. - Mr. Alt OTT bore her from the stage in a staie of ex trewe weakness, and in about halt an hour rtuinetl to iUtorm the audi ence that she was too ill to be abl e to a pp ear b e _ fore them again that night, and. was attended by a physician who fortunately happened to be in the Theatre. He then signified that, with their consent, Mrs. EAwcur would read through the character, trusting for the lenity usual oil such •occasions A general silence seemed to imply assent ; but as soon as she appeared with the book in her hand, a fUrions storm arose and Mr. - AllpbTT was obliged to assist her also 'oft . the stage in a state of severe agitation. During the ,con fusio.n that vrevoiled Mr. AszoT stud Mr. EGLR- ToN attempted to allay the storm, but. in vain, as suring the audience that Miss O'NErt.t. could not possibly resume her part. Airs. FauctT again ap peared, but the tumult obliged her t 6 retreat, and after vain attempts to proceed . with . the Tragedy it was discontinued. At length the curtain dropped, the tu.:lience were regaled with God Sure the King, Rule Britannia, and other National tunes till the Pantomime .coinwenced, and it soon converted discontent into ineriment and laughter for the rest of the night.
