Co vw.NT-G A itimx.—Never, perhaps, in the annals of the British Stage is there any record of so vast a crowd as assembled on Saturday last to witness the return of Miss FOOTE to this Theatre. All the places in the boxes had been taken many days before, and such was the eager ness of the Public to be present, that it is pro bable that the galleries would have been com pletely occupied if let at box price. There were but eight musicians in the orchestra, and all the rest of that place was let at a guinea a seat. Soon after the doors were opened the boxes were filled, and a board was held ep stat ing that such was the case. The intimation, however, had no effect, for great numbers still paid for admission, even for the chance of obtain ing a place. The upper boxes, which were for merly appendages to the second gallery, and called Slips, were the only boxes in which places had not been taken, and they were immediately oc cupied to overflowing. Crowds were parading through the lobbies of every tier, and severe struggles for admission took place. One box door was broken into pieces, and the fragments were used by those in the box to repel intruder , , and by the assailants to - procure admission. At length when the audience in all parts of the Theatre appeared to be in a settled state, and, all other visitors in the lobbies relinquished their efforts in despair, shouts of applause burst from I every quarter, particularly the l'it, apparently in approbation of the approaching re-appearance of Miss FooTE. A similar shout attended the rising of the curtain. The Perfot mars were welt received as they entered, particularly Mr. KENI., BLE, Mr. JONES, and Mrs. G/BBS. The play, we hardly need observe, was The Belles' Stratagem, and every allusion to Letitia I.l4rdy, the charac ter in which Miss FOOTE was to appear, was re ceived with peals of applause. At length she came forward, but in such a state of trembling ag'tation as shook her whole frame, and seemed likely to end in fainting, but she was cheered by Mrs. GIBBS in the part of Mr•s. Rackett, with such kind and persevering attention and solici tude, that she • was in some degree able to recover her spirits, and was relieved by a flood of tears. The audience in all parts arose to welcome her appearance. " Off, off," and hisses, from about half a dozen opponents, were heard, but were immediately overwhelmed by the audience in general, and one man in the first gallery, who was heard to hiss, was speedily almost thrown over the beads of those behind him, till he was ejected from the place. The Comedy then proceeded, and every. passage that related. to the character of Letitia Hardy was applied by the audience to Miss FooTE, and most warmly applauded. There were many such passages in the Play, and none of them were overlooked or passed without tu multuous greeting. The Comedy continued, with no interruption except by applause, whenever such allusions occurred. Miss FooTE was, at length, fully restored to the possession of her talents, and as 'the character of Letitia Hardy is of a higher cast in comedy than the parts which she had previously assumed, those ta 1e ta appeared to much mate r B¢LYrillta e, and indeed manifested a comic spirit that will probably lead to an increased degree of public (litimation. She was encored in the song which she sung in the affected rusticity of the character, and also in a kind of waltzing dance with Mrs. VINING, in which she displayed graceful ease and elegance. It should be mentioned that Mr. FAWCETT, who had taken such a friendly interest in the fate of MisS.Fotyrr., and addressed to her the kind parental letter w hich has appeared in the newspapers, was received with great ap plause, and to the credit of the Performers, one and a 11,,w ho were engaged in the piece, they mani fested a zealous interest in favour of Miss FooTE by unceasing solicitude and. .attention. On the final dropping of the curtain the same vehemence of applause universalfy burst from the audience, and Miss FooTE retired with the full conviction that she is completely reinstated in public favour. The Farce was The Duel, or the Two Nephezzs, and a great majority of the audience, as if reluc tant to quit the scene of such a triumphant proof of British liberality, remained during the whole performance, and were ►well rewarded for their feelings by the efforts of JONES, FARREN, BLANCHAIW, CONNOR, YATES, &C. &C. THE ORATORIOS.—This species of entertain ment is to be brought forward alternately ht both Theatres. Mr. SAMUEL WESLEY is to sit at the Organ ; Mr. Mom to ;.)e the Leader of the Band ; and the whole to he under the super intendance of Mr. 11AwEs, at Covent-Garden. At Drury-Lane Theatre, we understand, the Leader will he Mr. T. CooKE ; Mr. BISHOP to preside, and arrange the whole performance. The orchestras will be filled with the best vocal l and instrumentai performers. VESPWATE Slifer DE.—On Sunday evening the family of Mr. JAMES AC KIN TOM, of Thanet-place, Lam beth, were thrown into dreadful alarm by Jhe report of fire- arms proceeding from the kitchen, and on running into which a „shocking scene presented itself. A man named Atkins, a groom in the family, was found stretched across a table, weltering in his blood, having shot himself through the left breast, close to the region of th e heart. Being placed in a chair, he breathed his last. The fatal weapon proved to be a d.:elling pistol, which he had taken from Mr. Mackintosh's (junior) room. The same morning a quantity of slugs were found in his pocket, his body was removed to his mother's, who lived in the vicinity, to await the Inquest. The cause of the dreadful act was stated to be the infidelity of his wife, who had eloped with another man about a week since, carrying with her a consider able sum ofmoney, which he had only received a day or twobefore. DttEADFUT. M UnD Eli.— Yesterday morning, about 10 o'clock, a most horrible murder was committed by Ann Caton, a young woman about 9.6 years of age, on the body of her husband, Joseph Caton, residing at No. 5, Lascelles-court, Broad -street, St. Giles's. There had been some dispute between the parties, the man suspecting hi - s wife's fidelity, and at the time above stated, he abraided her with her conduct, when she seized a hair-broom, and with both hands struck him such a tremendous blow, that. she knocked him to the ground, and then with the same instrument she beat hiS brains literally , out. The unhappy Woman ran out of the house imme diately, and gave herself up to the watchman. She will be examined this clay at Marlborough. street Office.: ( 1 / 4,7,.. . r , • ~,- (zt- >741 r 4-, q 4 ' , '''• " ~4 i l , ( . ff ; ~ l2 i . i V.--4,2.-. 14.9 . _=:. ,`,"<:--ft4-' -4,4'"'."4#;:e (4)„:,-y, ) t ; ,('), 0t- . -:.2-&, , i>-,.-.ic, •!-.1-4.7"'s ti.--•4•P'''," r i t i cit 7 .4.3.j7:1--"' ' t,...c,'Cs-Y ~0,,. : 1,,,A, • ... ‘. t* •,. - • __. _.,,„,- „, j• ' 4 4„- - —,.....------ .

ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC. On Saturday last a Concert (being — theffistthi; season) was performed by the Pupils of the Royal Academy of Musie, Hanover-square, under the direction of Mr. liocnsA. The improvement they have made since we last heard them is very great ; and the manner they acquitted themselves on this occa sion must have been highly gratifying both to their patrons and their instructors. The orchestra consisted of about twenty students, some of whom apFeed to be no more than ten years of age, yet, with the exceptioa of trumpets, trombones, bas soons, and double basses, every part was complete.—The Concert opened with Haydn's syniphony in I), led with great Spirit by Master Seymour; the precision with which it was executed was truly wonderful, acid drew forth universal marks of approbation. We shall not enumerate the different pieces as they were performed ; Cimarosa's Quartetto " Scala in retto," Paer's Serenata, " hone," Mozart's Sestetto from Don Giovanni, " Sole, solo" were sun by Misses Bell i'vhambers, Porter, Watson,. Gs;use,,. , Chancellor. IlebtateXPeigee Lucas, and C. F. Packer, in a very respectable manner; and the accompaniments were exquisitely performed by the band, which by professors is considered a very difficult task.— A novel quartetto was performed, Miss Bellchambers singing —Masters W. H. Phipp s on t h e p i ano f orte, E. Ne i lson on th e harp, and T. .Mawkes on the violin : the bills stated it to be, by Moscheles, Mayseder, and Bochsa, but we conclude that most of the credit is due to the latter composer, who arranged it. The quartetto consisted of three or four cantabile stanzas, sweetly sung by Miss J. Bellchambers, with intermediate sym ponies selected from the works of the different masters men tioned, each being a brilliant solo, extremely well executed, particularly the violin solo, by Master Mawkes, whose beau tiful tones, and chaste, yet wonderful execution, elicited the loudest plaudits. After a duetto by :Messrs. C. Lucas and C. S. Packer, the young aspirants performed the overture to Dec Freischnts, led by young Blagrove, with uncommon spirit and effect ; the forte passage at the change front the minor to the major, was given with a force that quite astonished the audi- • ence. Young Lucas performed a difficult solo on the violon cello, and Miss Chancellor a concerto on the pianofotte, ex tremely well. Mr. Bochsa presided at the pianoforte, and the erudite professor, Dr. Crotch, took the violoncello, which, by the bye, he placed on his right side ; on mentioning this to a friend, lie observed that the worthy Doctor had the art and science of music so much at his command, that he could hand it about from right to left ad. lib. We look upon this Institu tion as established now, and consider it as an excellent nursery for orchestral performers ; and we hope to see a succession of Cramers, .Voris, Lindleys, Nicholeons, &c. &c. employed at our Operas and Concerts, rather than Exotics, which is the principal object of the Academy. Yesterday Divine Service was performed at the King's Palace, Pall-mall, by the Rev. Dr. Blomberg. Yesterday the Duke of York visited the King.—Yesterday his loyal Highness attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal. Yesterday afternoon the Chancellor of the Exchequer left town for the seat of Lady Buckinghamshire, at Charlton, Kent. AYLESBURY.

THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extractsfrom the Morning Pwyers, Feb. 7, 1825. [BRITISH PRESS.] The intelligence received on Saturday, re specting the military operations ie South Ame rica, are in the highest degree favourable to the cause of independence. According to the Guaya quil Paper, from which extracts are given in an other column, Bolivar was proceeding steadily in the liberation of Peru. In a Proclamation issu ed at Huancayo on the 15th of August,he speaks of Olaneta as co-operating with the Patriots for the overthrow of the Spanish power—" Peru and all America should recognize in General Olaneta one of its liberators." This is first official statement of the declaration of Olaneta against Spain, and we hardly know, even now,'whether we ought togive it credeuce. The account,We,llad from. Buenos Ayres represented the Spaniards as engag ed in an intestine struggle, but, according to the Manifesto of Olaneta on renouncing the authority . of the Viceroy La Serna, the quaiier bf tweet', the Royalist Generals originated in •no good-will on the part of any one of them towards the Arne ricans,but in their political differences as SPaniards, and Olaneta made it his peculiar boast that he had always been a pUre and A bsolute'Royalist,and never a partizan or supporter of the Constitution. How , with these sentiments, this Man ::can have 4c entitled himself to American gratttUde," we profess to be wholly unable to 'comprehend. Letters were also received on Saturday . from Mr_ Henderson, our Consul-General at Bogota, dated the 19th of November, by which we 'learn that intelligence had reached that city that Bolivar had completely routed Cantarac on the banks of the Apurimac. The impression at Bogota was, that the war in Peru was at an end. It is pro bable that this victory will turn out to be that of which advices were transmitted to us by way of Buenos Ayres. A short time must bring us the official details , and remove all doubts. A Brazi- Tian mail was received yesterday. It fully con firms the statements of the tranquillity of all the Provinces of that vast empire. A military com mission has been appointed for the punishment of the revolters of Bahia. In Pernambuco the Con stitution has been proclaimed with great pomp ; and in Ceara the rebels bad been d spersed by the first volley of the Imperial troops. Pedro 1. may therefore now repose with confidence in the safety of his throne, which nothing can hence forth shake, but his own wilfulness or folly. The republican institutions by which he is surrounded, will, however, it is to be expected, admonish him to a temperate exercise of the prerogatives he has reserved and appropriated to himself. [NEW TIMES.] The panic which► subsisted on Saturday after noon amongst the holders of shares in the Joint Stock Companies exceeded any thing which has yet taken place, and great fears are entertained for what may be expected to follow. It will be perceived by reference to our Price List ; that the decline has been both extensive and general,and in many descriptions of shares the prices were merely nominal, especially in those of the Real del Monte and Tlalpuxahua. It is, however, expected that those Companies which have any real claim to public attention will be able to withstand the torrent ; at present the alarm is general. Sir Charles Stuart proceeds out forthwith in the Wellesley, 74, to Lisbon, and thence to Rio Janeiro. Report states, that an autograph letter has been received from the King of Portugal, ex pressing his Majesty's personal approbation of the plan suggested by the British Government for bringing to an amicable conclusion the differences between Portugal and Brazil. Further accounts from Lisbon and Rio Janeiro may be expected. daily, and are awaited with much interest, .par ticularly by the houses connected with the two countries. [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] Last night we received Rio Janeiro Papers to the 14th of December inclusive. On the 30th of the preceding month, a Decree was signed by the Emperor,appointing a Military Cornmission,to try, in the most speedy and summarymanner,the persons implicated in the assassination of the late Go vernor of Bahia. By the last ad vices from t.hat province, which are as late as the 6th of December, we are happy to learn, that tranquillity was then nearly re-established, and that several of the assas sins were taken, and delivered up to the Military Commission, which had commenced its labours. At.Pernambuco not a vestige remained at the beginning of December of the late troubles ; and a dispatch from General Lima, dated the 3d of that month, says, that the Constitution was sworn to in the greatest part of the Province, at that date, with the greatest pomp. Some disturbances, however, had broken out in the Province of Ceara, in consequence, it would appear, of proclaiming the Constitution ; but they were soon put down, and several persons had fallen the victims of their insubordination.—ln the Capital• the greatest tranquillity was visible ; and the Government seems to possess the requisite vigilance and energy to maintain its authority at home, and repel any attack from abroad, should the latter, contrary to all probability, be attempted. [MORNING POST.] The discussions on the Address in answer to his Majesty's Speech have elicited every objection to the past and proposed measur e s of Ministers which the Opposition could imagi ne . Th ey have also enabled his Majesty's Gove rnmen t to expose t h e futility of those objections, and to set Parliament and the Public right, respecting the intended augmentation of the Army, and one or two other. matters on which an erroneous impression had previously prevailed. We have also the satis.. faction to remark, that the whole course and tenour of the policy pursued and contemplat ed by Ministers extorted the unanimous ap proval of their oppouents—with t he. exce ption of some mere party cavils, on the sub j ect o f the Irish Catholic Association. Na y , Mr. Brou gham and his side of the House , so entirel y concurred executed, made air in the measures adopted , and in the mode W hi c h Honour theyableingenious b u t v an ti 1i h a ve e Lear n edn d e avu been o Gentlema n that the r to obtain f o r hims e lf and col.
