THE .'/-1E7',5. • • As we - conceive it tos.be .duty to gi've eur valc;us support to whatever , inay tend to the, lic nour as well 'as to . the :interest of the . Country, .it is with pleasure that we notice the opening of a new Satfetuary for - Genius in INSTITUTION for,prorrioting TUE Fug In- the United ;King - dom, which has been eitablislied, in the edifice that lately went. by the name of "'The Slipkspeare.Galr lery..!' This neW.lnStitutiOrt. - Prote&ed by His MAJESTY, .who has honoured it -so 'far as to become its PATRON, and who has alwaYS, indeed, been a' strenuous friend to the Arts,- as is manifest in :the, gracious attention which ,he has Sm often bestowed on the 'concerns of the 'Royal' Academy. His Royal Highness the PRINCE OfWALES is theVICEvPATRON, the Earl of bARTMOUTH is the PRESIDENT, and the Institution is supported by a great number of the chief of our Nobility, and most:distinguished friends to the Arts. • The spaciOns mansion is divided - into three rooms for the admissibti of different classes of piEtures, and we have great satisfa6tion in finding that all of our principal Artists 'have 'sent some et' their, mest admired Works': in 'order to' give eclat to the opening of an - InStitution;the purpose of Which' is to afford a conspicuous opportunity for Genius to, • signalise its . its powers, and to contribute effe&ually to the establishthent of a BRITISH *SCHOOL. Among the s pro.dufaions of these Artists, we find many Works that have received the warmest sanaion of public approbation. The talents of WEST, BEECHEY ? LAWRENCE, HOPPNER, °PIE, BOURGEOIS, NORTH COTE, .QWEN, the late MORTIMER, COPLEY, SMITH, WESTALL, WOODFORDE, WARD, RIG AUD, SINGLE TON, TURNER,, GARRARD, •THOMtON, and other esteemed Artists appear to • considerable advantage, in the Works .which at psesent grade the Institution. Ainong the most distinguished-of those . Works - are CortEy's Death of Lord Chatham 'LAWRENCE'S Rolla; a new Pieture, by 1:011THCOTE, of Daniel in the Lion's Den; and BEEcREY's Venus end Cupid., 'The Veteran STusas -has also enriched the place With some Of his best WOrks. There is also •the admirable pia uye of Marquis CORNWALLIS 'receiving the Hostage Princes of Mysore, before Seringapa 7 . tam, f_ root .the spirited pencil of DEvis, a 'Work ren dered peCuliarly interesting by the death of the lamented, Hero of the Piece, and which is recom mended by its own high 'merits. This picture, we Understand, the Marquis wished to possess, but with the delicacy that marks a noble mind, was relu&ant to purchase, because . .it represents one of his own ,theinorable achievements. But the new Instituti on is not restrifted to the produ&ions of the pencil. We find some admirable specimens of SCULPTURE trOM NOLLIMENS and the late Mr. BArms. MER CHANT has contributed some excellent proofs of that skill which enables him so successfully to fol low the track of the Ancients. Upon the whole, - while we have reason to look with respe& and grati-. tilde on those elevated CharaCters who feel so much for the houour of their Country as to. found the . BRITISH INS TITUTION , we have reason also to con gratulate the Country on the prospe& which it holds forth of the same merited distintaion in the BR ITISH ARTs whidh has so long chara . Eterized the BRITISH Astass. THE ORATORIO.—The Season of this Subli species-of amusement commenced last night at Co vent-ghrden Theatre, under the dire6tion of the Asiii.gls, by whom it has long been conduled to' the credit of themselves and the high gratification of the Public.' The entertainment of last night con sisted chiefly of a Selthion from various eminent Alusicians, and it is but justice to say, that all the compositions were supported with correaness, as well as energy. The vocal department was princi pally sustained by BRAHANI, Mrs. BLAND, Mrs. SAptox, late Miss MUNDAY, STORACE, and Mrs. DickONs, late Miss POOLE. In addition to those well-known Performers, four other. Singers were for the first time introdUced to the Public, in this province of the art, viz. Mr. DOYLE. a good bass; Mr. PTNE, Mr. S:4ITH, and Mr. GIBBON. BRA- . MANI was finely in voice. He acquired great ap plause in all be sung,' but particularly in " To arms, your Country's Cause:" .STORACE also distinguished herself in " The Prince unable to conceal his Pain."

A shOCking murder was committed lately at Baltinglass, County of Wicklow, on the body of an unfortunate female, whom three soldiers of the Roscommon Militia had enticed into a public-house to drink The party retired to the , hay-yard, where her body was found.next morn ing, quite naked, and with upwards of fifty.bayonet wounds. Some Soldiers have been since arrested,.: and sent to Wicklow Gaol on - suspicion: .' . An alarming fire broke out in the evening of Wed nesday sc'nnight, in a Inge double barn, at Great Totham Hall, near •Maldon, in the occupation of Mr. PeotE, which raged so furiously, notwithstand ing every effort to impede its progress, that in a short time the barn *as totally consumed, together with a large quantity of grain it contained ; nor was it completely Subdued, till a cart-lodge adjoining, a bean-stack, several waggons and carts, and various 'implements of husbandry, were also destroyed. The amount of the damage sustained is estimated at one thousand pounds. The stock only was insured.— There is great reason to setpea this unfortunate cir cumstance-was wilfully occasioned. . The following circumstance lately occurred at Mr. Melville's farm, ,of Newbigging, near Ceres, in Fife :— , Cone morning seven, of Mr. Melville's cattle were found apparently stabbed in the side, two of them so dreadfully that they died in the course of, next 'day.

It was likewise added,: that 'the idea": of ere&ing an hospital,for four'or . iive hundred sick-, pr the expence of the City of Frankfort, would not be insisted upon._ • Under !the _incalculable < misfortune of being. compelled to submit to theie :and other i-ig - oto6'S measures, the Senate thought they could. riot , fulfil their duty. otherwise than by expreSsing their.sub-- mission to 'the conditions proposed by his Excellency Marshal AUGEREAU; their acknowledgment of their particular obligations to him,, and, in the name : of the Citizens and Inhabitant s of. Frankfizt, to: pro mise the payment of the above-mentioned two mil lions of francs. " But for the fulfilment of this obligation, and for raising the necessary sums, notwithstanding the Senate has made use of every awaits, and all the resources in their power, and continue most. faithfully to exert all their influence to have- the burden removed, occasioned by the quartering, of the French troops, and the daily. expellees attending, still they find themselves reduced to the lamentable necessity, in order to raise the above-mentioned two millions of francs ir to-eall upon the Citizens at large,' who are capable of contributing, including the Mem- - bers of the Corporation, and .each of the Administra tions, in order that all persons may have an oppor tunity of exemplifying their patriotism, according to' their circumstance, and in propprtioh to the exi gencies of their couutry . under the present pressure of imperitns necessity. " Should the means prove indequate. to the end proposed, the city, will not only be exposed to great inconvenience, but the Senate will also. be.liable to a severe responsibility. To prevent any 'failure. in. the application of the means, the Senate has hereby ordered, that, no • person shall be required to sub scribe to this loan beyond, his means '; that -those, who are not provided _with cash, &c. shall be at liberty to offer their uncoined silver or gold accord ing to its sterling worth, and in proportion to the quantum required, , • " As the duty of averting the impending calamity is, dot less binding upon. each indi% idual i than upon . theiconArnunity at large,. it is hoped, that this - hard measure will. inotwithstanding, be . embraced' as one of the most sacred duties; and that the future recol leion contribute -most, - will.phave an alleviating source for extinguishing the. painful re membrance of the past, while it will at the same time exhibit a glorious proof of patriotismand public spirit, and of what may be effe&ed under the'rnost disagreeable circumstances." . • " Frankfort, Feb. 7, 1806.'! - f• • Moanvta, FEB. 2:--When.the ensign staff ofthe Russian Regiment of Molol.viisky, was shot away ,in the battle of Austerlitz, and the column defeated;: the Ensign wrapped•the colours round his body next his shirt.
