We never saw so large, an assembhge of elegant and well-dressed females. The first Act consisted of ..dcie and Galatia, which Wa3 most exquisitely performed ; the second Act consisted of Selections from the most favoured Masters. BARTLEMAN delighted : every one with CAL COTT'S new long, from Dr. Youxo's,Revenge, of Sister, of Acheron ;7—Mr. and Mrs.VAtionAN's Duet of " Born in you blaze of orient Sky," was universally applauded ; and Mtss STEPHENS'S g` Sweet Bird," accompanied by Mr. CRAMER, was the theme of general praise thronghimt the eveoing. BELLA‘mY was eminently .successful in nn Ait of MOZART ; and Mr % W. KNYVETT'S' new Glee of Theßose of the Valley" was most tneritedly encored. GRIESEACIrS Concerto on the Oboe, and Master LINDLEY'S Solo, were both very mud; applauded, and the whole performance closed with great spirit and effect; 'The fineness of the . weather, has evidently in duced many families to visit Winchester at this interesting period. tarly this morning numerous . carriages were seen contisig in at the several en, tr.inces of this ,City not less .than 800 persons were in the-Cathedral at the performance 1.

STATUARY —The Duke of Devossnine, prior to leaving England, ordered several Vases, of classic form, to he executed in the finest Ame thystine Flour of Derbyshire, with a view of as sisting the manufacture, then declining, from the influx of Italian alabaster. These beautiful vases have so pleased the highest circles of St. Peters burgh, surpassing any . ptoductions of the Empe ror's mines of Siberia,t hat several orders have been received front this his Grace's introduction. - His Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND has, with a liberality becoming. his rank and fortune, ordered the sum of 801. to be distributed among such of the poor of the parish of St. Paul, Co vent-Garden, as do not receive parochial aid. .SAMUEL PAGPT, Esq. is elected Mayor of Yar mouth for the ensuing year, and I,Vm.

But looking at the moral influence of the Arts specially, the instances in which they can be in eontestbly sheyvn, to possess such a power are 'necessarily few, becanse they are liinited to works of the highest, order, , by, which the mind may be powerfully seized, and directed to,the side of vir tue and religion. I propose, however, -at preknt to point out tt moralnse of _the Arts of a different description from those just mentioned . , one to which, in their present state'of Cultivation, we are rightfnlly en, titled to pretend ; and to call your attention . (and may you he induced to nse whatever nreao you poSsess to call the attention also of the persons most concerned) to a pc:Collar circumstance 'rela tive to our Coinage: It has been announced to the, piNic,- that at p o great distance of time, ,the Bank-Tokens of three shillings and one shilling and sixpence are to be withdrawn from circulation. You, Sir, who'pro. fess to open your Paper to every candid observa tion on the works of the Fine Atts, need not, I imagine,. be informed, that the (lies of those Coins werebthe . work of the late NATHANIEL MARCHANT, one of the most excellent. Gem Sculptors of mo dern times, and far the most eminent that our country has - produced at any time. The-remarks which I have to submit to you on this occasion are as folloWs Ist. There can be no doubt, that ihe,more ex quisitely any work of Art is wrought, the'more dif ficult any imitation 'of it becomes, and the more easily every attempt to counterfeit it is liable to be .detected. It is easy to illustrate this pbsition - by apposite examples of the most familiar kind. Every one of your readers knows ho:tv extremely difficult it is to imitate exactly, or counterfeit the:almost perfect h and-writing of eminent masters in that art, and, on the contrary, how very easy it is for every smatterer in copying to imitate a deformed or imperfect scrawl. In the same Tanner, the air or gait of a man or woman regularly formed by nature, and trained to elegance by art, is within' the reach of very few to imitate, and.of none to equal, unlessendow ed with. similar advantages ; whereas a limp, a stoop, a twist, a shuffle, or an awkward stride are easily turned into ridicule by every ordinary The case is exactly the same in the Fine Arts. ‘Vhen Apelles called at the house of a contempo rary painter at Rhodes; not finding him at home, he left an outline so regularly and exquisitely drawn, that the Rhodian, on his return, enter tained no doubt of the quality of his visitor, and immediately drew, within, a second smaller line of equal beauty, to denote his own rank also in his Art. Probably no other person then living coal have been fOund to draw a• third. Had a _bungler, or a common workman ventured to try 'his hand, he would have been speedily-disgraced by the vain. attempt. These premises once established, lead to the following conclusion : that; if a.Coin could be put in circulation of as exquisite workmanship its the lines of the great Masters above•men!ioned', that Coin would be beyond the teach of imitation by all inferiOr workmen, that is, by workmen in general ; and that any cOnnterfeit.of such a Coin would easily be detected, It -would require no extraordinary power of judgnnlnt to detect it- 7 How few persons would be imposed on by'the -attempt of a common writer. to counterfeit . the masterly pentna . uship of Champion or' Toinkins How few would hesitate to distinguish betweLit the gestures of a eotumon ininiic; and the refined movements of Vestris and' Pafisot, and the'ele vated action of GArrick, Siddons, Kemble 2dly,, ft is unnecessary to insist how important and how highly desirable it would be, that a Coin of such inimitable beauty should be. the medium of our ordinary circulation, when we reflect -that . the penalty pf countoleiting that medians (whatever• be the faci lity or d ffficulty of the attempt,' is DEATh. \% lictiever, therefore, the ex , :ellettee of Art in this point can prevail., sti far.as: to-dely, and deter imitation, the Art itself may justly boast its moral importance. It then exists in the highest degree. And. that conscience must he seated, whiclilloes not feel the high and awful responsibility 10 those persons who at once prom u lgate the penal lasy. and determine its object. What is their neglect— how heart-appalling---if they tail to employ their utmost means to establish a seture'guard, that the work which it is death to connterfeit,.shonld be (as far as can be attained under existing circum stance;) beyond the reach of countertenors ! Without the strictest - watch over tltis point, the expiring pang of every %,ictim to a fraudulent at-. tempt in coinage,' is a hitter arrow pointed at the bosom of the Legi4ator—is fatal record, of filch he must one day give account to his:eternal Judge. Now let us' revert to the wot k in question, of NATHANIEL MARCHANT. It is said, that dpriog ' the whole period of the circulation of the Silver Bank Tokens, fewer countertrits have heseo found, either of the larger or smaller Token, than of any other COin of the realm ; and that attempt , to pass such counterfeits have its general' failed, Iron' their glaring and obvious inferiority to the prtgi nal: If this assertion, is ill founded, some of your Readers will probab i ly be able to furnish you wit' . facts to contradict it. The comparative circular: lion (between these and other coins, and their counterfeits) must be within the knowledge of every L gr . eit retail.slinp in ondon ; anti it is ,an , objer7t of .00 i„ti.trest Os 1 1,4 ye Ali i•Ally tiiat bitch km it)ve%iientiim r,ike It hsseriior) `pro,i;.'d :Any wher.
