ROYAL ACADEMY.-Mr. TURNER, Professor of Perspective to this Institution, whose abilities as an Artist need no eulogium from us, gave his se cond Lecture on Perspective last night. We en tered so fully into a former Course given by this Gentleman, that it would be needless for us to resume the subject, even if it were not of such a technical description as to be too abstruse for the readers of a Public Journal. It is sufficient to say, that he treated it with his usual precision, and illustrated its application to Architecture and Painting, in such a manner as must have afforded many instructive lights to the Students who at tended him, and who, by their applause at the close, evinced how highly they were gratified by this . ingenius discourse. The Tragedy of Richard the Second is, we un derstand, to be soon revived at Drury-lane Thea tre, for the purpose of introducing Mr. KEAN ill the unfortunate hero of the piece. We are sorry to learn, that a house of consi derable importance in the sugar trade, stopped payment yesterday, for a large amount.

In the centre the Duke of WELtmoToN appears on horseback, attended by the Generals Lord HILL, Lord BERESFORD, and other distinguished Officers.. The figures are in basso relievo, and they leave the Duke prominent. At the sitting of Magistrates at the Town Hall of Brighton yesterday, :Gentleman of some conse quence in the commercial world, a Mr. C. preferred a complaintagainst a stable-keeper and post=horse master.of Brighton, viz. that the language of the head-ostler of the said post-master, on the ap rlication of Mr. C— to obtain four post-horses to convey him from hence, unequivocally plied, that a combination had been entered into to keep the price of post work up to the standard of eighteen-pence the mile - , to the injury of the , traveller and the Public. Mr Serjeant RUNNING TON clearly explained the law upon this subject ; and the result of the whole was, entering into recognizances for a prosecution and defence be tween the parties at issue, at the Easter Quarter Sessions at Lewes. Another stable-keeper was implicated in the same proceedings. The battle betwixt Smith and Scroggins, for 50 guineas, will take place this day, .11 miles from London.

IMPROMPTU, On seeing a Bust by TURNE REL What need has TuttNEnnw death to fear, For, lo! his vivid soul is breathing here: Still_shall it, breathe in undecaying prime, And only dread the pow'r of ruthless Time. The following affecting Lines, appear to haze been discovered penciled on the Shutter of a Room, occasionally ocupled for souse Years back as a Lodging in Enniskillen, Ireland For many a wistful hour, to pity dear, •. A wanderer wove affection's vision here. . • Kiss'd the memorial form his bosom wore, And looked, till tears would let lijm look no more. All that the heart at last might lean on —gone, Yet madly did he languish—linger ouL-- Spent sighs; to which no sympathy was given, And pledg'd wild vows, unheard of all—save Heaven, Went by the grave of love, nor owned despair, • Tho;'not one flower of.hope bidomed palely there— • Her eye—bright herald of a better mind— Unkind, or only to the trifler kind— Tilat eye, for which his own in tears was dim, Glanc'd smiles on all, but would not smile on him, "Whose heart alone, tho' broken to conceal, Could feel its fire—too deeply—finely feel. • In wayward thrall thus many a day wan'd past, But freedom came—his spirit'woke at last— Shook off the spell—marchediningled with the brave, And sought a resting place in glory's grave -Oh ! there, if laurel mad be haply wove, , Mix one pale willow too fur slighted love. Jane, 1311." . . THE ITALIAN OPERA: The ci-devant King's Theatre in the Haymarket opened fOr the Season last night, with more of.no velty, we cannot say of improvement, than ithas of late years exhibited. Indeed, the Manager has kept his word—it is " all foreign :"—ornaments foreign to British taste,, singers _foreign in every respect, dancers every one of them foreign, mu sic by a foreign composer, played by an orchestra led by a foreigner, dresses foreign to England and to the Opera repreSented—this Is-- the FO REIGN THEATRE. The Hotise,has beery cleansed. and- purified, - a ceremony of Which it stood greatly in -.need, and What with new painting, washing, and varnishing, this magnifiCent structure has assined a decent appearance instead of being the receptacle-of im measureable dust and dirt. The box-fronts have been painted in richer colours than 'before, and have a good effect. The cieling has also been embellished with a new allegorical subject, the drift of which is - not very comprehensible, nor the design very strongly indicative' of taste or genius. It is a gaudy daub glittering . to please themultitude, but - far inferio r i n c l a ssi c elegance to its • more dingy predecessor. Of a piece with - this is the Curtain. Covent- . Garden • Theatre' has set the example of eye offending French frippery in this respect, instead of the soft and solacing green, on Which the nerve, affected by intense application to the scene, delighted to repose, and we ought not therefore to he surprized, that 'a Foreign Stage should be ambitious of similar ornament. This represents crimson velvet, flaming with tinsel and: spangles, and otherwise un-naturalized. 'ln itself, however, it is a clever production, and only objectionable in the use to which it is appropriated. Some beau tiful chandeliers complete the boasted " improve ments." They looked well, and poured down so plenteous,a waxen shower upon the circumference of the Pit, that many a timid fop retired from that situation, converted (to use a vulgarism) into • a perfect Lad o' Wax. This descent of spermaceti, is so offensive, that the candles m u s t e ith er b e surrounded with glass bells, or the audience must place themselves under the shelter of umbrellas and parasols, which will have an entertaining ef fect, and add to the coup d'cril—a phrase so much in the mouths of our best critics. The Opera was new j the Music by MEYER. The fable is, M usual, insipid : Adelasia, the daughter of the Emperor Otho, marries, against her father's will, 41eramo, a Nobleman, whom the machinations of Rumballo, the confident of Otho, have caused to be suspected of treason. Theiovers fly from the wrath of the Emperor to a forest in a distant part of his do minions, whete they live, as peasahts, for some years. They are, however, at length discovered by Ralubaplo, who informs the Emperor. Ateramo is taken - prisdner. and his death is determined on ; but, just as the Emperor's - decree is on the point of - being carried into execution,* Roberto, the brother of 41ercpizo, proves Rambutdo to be a traitor,who had leagued with the Saracens to drive Otho from the throne—and the, piece concludes with the reconciliation of the'EMperor to his children, and the punishment of the infamous Rambaido. Madame SESSI, the new serious Prima. Donna, (FEaLENnts, we ta;:e it, is to be the Prima Buffa), performed ..4de/asia. She .possesses a rather squat and inelegant person, which . was rendered more observable by unbecoming dress ; neither has she youth on her side, but her voice is of good qua lity and great compass. She is au augmented BER-. TINOTTI, more powerful, though not so sweet, and true to science in .every; note she utters.— GENI (Otho), the principle tenor, resembles SIBONI in • his vocal powers. He is a tall figure and . full of the, fantastical gesticulation of the French school. GRAA:u (Aleramo), is also a tenor, and in our opinion the most •promising De batant of the night. He is young, and possesses already a fine tone, ability in its management, and skill to throw in a few graces of the best order, 'and not overdone. His reception was deserVedly favourable. VASSEUR (Rambaldo), is a base, infe rior as we think to RovEnmo. AVe shall hereafter notice the new Ballet Corps, but at prese:a have no opportunity of saying more than that they do not possess any striking merit. Like the Singers, they are respectable in their line, but are deficient in rhat pre-eininence which we have witnessed at this Theatre. , First-rate talents are lamentably wanted, and the present.Companyean never satisfy the Pahlie, unless it thinks that half a dozen of tn-,>diocre per formers (A.nr at best just rising above mediocrity) are sufficient for this tmntexpensive Establish uncut. The Opera re.setnbles the Performers—it is moderately gifted in musical cuirditics, and deitittite of any thing very effective pr imposing.- S COTLA ND. EDINBUrIiGET, JAN. 7.—An eleglnt silver cup, of the value of twenty guineas; with the follow ing inscription, has been presented, by the inha bitants of Whitehaven, to Andrew Carr, a sea man, who greatly distinguished himself in res cuing a female passenger from a vessel wrecked off that port, during the late storm : " This cup is present, l to, •Andrew Carr, of .Whi teh aven, mariner, by his fellowTownsuien, for his intrepid and humane conduct, in plunging into the sea, at the risk ,or his life, and rescuing 'a female from tht Wreck of the sloop Nelly and.

A melancholy accident occurred near Hender• land, in the parish of Meggat, and county of Peebles, on the 30th ult. Three children of a shepherd on that farm, going from their father's house to _witness: a' matrimonial ceremony, in crossing an adjoining burn, , were all blown in by a violent gust of wind, and carried down the cur rent. The father was near the spot at the time, ra►► to their assistance, and brought out one, and laid it, upon the bank, and then another, and fol lowed the third a considerable way, which he also succeeded in bringing out ; but on his return back with this last, to the place where the others were left, he found them both without appearance of animation, and every attempt to restore them was in vain. The third is still alive; and it is hoped will soon recover.

The Young Chicken - and .the Bellman.,—The " Beaman" of a certain town in Totmonslow North, having lent his audible voice on three seve. , ral occasions to publish the fame of this redoubted hero of pugilistic celebrity ; called as many times for remuneration for his labours, but in vain. Complaining to a neighbour that be could not get his money, he was advised to take it out in workmanship. Yesterday morning, at nine - o'clock, a dreadful 'accident happened in consequence of Mathew's Croydon coach overturning, opposite Cross-street, Newington. - The horses set off full speed.with the pole of the coach; the coachman being en entangled in the reins, is so shockingly mangled and cut about the head that his life is despaired of. Several outside passengers were dreadfully bruised ; one Gentleman had his - leg broke ; and another, in consequence of part of the coach fall ing on his . bead, presented a shocking spectacle. The horses were stopt in the Westminster-road, with all their knees broken and very much cut. Mr. GODSALL, a resnec:able farmer of Bentley Heath, met with a - fatal accident, while •accom panying his team, between Solihull and this town, early on Wednesday morning last. It appears that this unfortunate Gentleman, in erideavouring to . pull aside his horses for the purpose of letting the Crown Prince Coach pass' by hint, the reflec tion from the lamps of which had,frightened the leader, was throWn to'the ground ; and whether the bruises he received proceeded from the coach pasiing over him, or from the horses, is not known, but they were of so shocking a descrip tion, that after. .languishing in great agony for upwards of twelve hourS, he expired.,—(Biiming hainHerald, Jan: 9.) On Wednesday morning last, George Nicklin; groom to Viscount ANsotc, was found drowned in. the lock of the Trent and Mersey Canal at Hay wood. He had passed the preceding evening at Hay wood, at 'the house of a friend, where he had drank rather freely, and on his return, owing to the darkness of the night, missed his way and fell the lock, which is only a 'few yards from the road. ARO*ATIC PAINT.—At this damp season of the year, the merits of the Aromatic Taint may be best appreciated; the Proprietor pledging himself_ that it will even now answer the purpose of anv family, whose house requires painting; as the apprehension generally (and formerly justly) en• tertained of encountering the lengthened effects of the deleterious effluvia incident to common 'paint in winter, ha's subsided in many families who have used, and are now using this quickly drying and innoxious preparation.
