SURREY TFIRATRF:.

Mrs. W. F►alltaw, from the Theatre Royal, York, last
night made he► first appearance here its a most interesting
melts-drams, called 77,. Soldier's Father, (invaded on Mr.
C. Esammu's elegant drama, called 7k. Peet of Honour.
The must decided eucea. emerged the attempt of the
debutante, who pre lu the character of Bertha an interest
which was acknowledged by the tears and reiterated
plaudits of a most elegant audience, principally rem.
posed of females. Every cherAeter in the sueltsdrsuss
was well supported, and the repetition of the !Nee* was an.
nuanced with most gratifying sanction. Mr. HUNTLIY,
as Umpqua:, Mr. BaricouGH, as La Franc, and Mr. FITZ-
WILLIAM, as l'atroor, seemed t) vie with each other in
producing the effects intended by the original author; while
Wearr, in the part of Steinberg, and Miss Poore (who im-
proves in every character she plays), seemed equally de.
lighted with the patrons of the house, at the evident suc-
cess their efforts conjointly produceJ.

QUILVW SQUARE, JULY 3.
CORONATION SEA'IS.
This was an information upon the Building Art against
Mr. Glanville, the •rebitect, for erecting projectioes in front
of the houses in Great George.•treet, West bbb b aster. The
information was preferred by Mr. H. E. Seward, and bring
• case M which all th• inhabitants of the neighbourhood
commendiug • view of the procession at the mowing Coro-
nation are interested, the °Rice was crowded.

QUEEN ANNE.

Copy of an old curious Paper on covering the Dome of
St. Paul's with English Copper, by way of answer to the
current Objections of the time:—
"'Twas proposed to cover the dome of St. Paul'. with
English copper, of twenty ounces to • foot square, at two
shillings and furrmewee per foot; all charge of mettle and
workmanship, which, though d than /rod, was allowed
10 be no discouragement: bet %war objected—
Objection I.—" That the copper would soon be black and
look ugly, and that the people would by no mean, be pleased
with it.

Awswer—" That topper will tarnish in the air is allowed;
bat if the colour be so much coveted, it mar easily be var.
wished at an inconsiderable charge. But 'tin atrauge that
the looks of a covering of lead, at such a height, should be
be put in competition with the duration of copper, which is
known by experience, M churches abroad, to have lasted
above Ave hundred years without repairing; whereas lead
willshardly lie so high, and on such a large extent, above fif-
teen or twenty years, without needing repairs, which cannot
be done without e great charge of scaffolds, /cc.
Objectioa II.—" that there would be several embosssment
le be made in lead, which could not be done in copper.
Answer.—" It is surprising that any artist should urge,
that any thing of that kind eon be done in lead that cannot
be dour iu as great perfectiou in copper, as lie fine-apple
(which is made of English copper), already set up on the
rest end of St. Pouts dues sufficiently demonstrate, in
which there are much more embossments than eau easily be
contrived iii covering the DOWN.

...
Note.—" The copper world be lighter than the leaJ, by
above six huntlreJ tons."

The repairs curyirg on at St. Paul's makes the above
paper very iutereatiug• It is a faithful transcript of ilia
original, wsiiten at the time the Cathedral was building,
■t the !intuiting of the last century.

On the 1111011 On Is the House of Commons on Monday
night, that the Report of the Extra Post Bill be stow brought
up, an amendment was proposed, substituting fur " now"
the words " this day aix months," wbtch amendment was
carried by a majority of 39 to 31. The Bill consequently
is throws out. It was incorrectly stated is our Paper of
yesterday that the division was spun the original motion.

The Scots Greys, which regiment has been for
some time quartered in Ireland, have received or-
ders to proceed to this country forthwith, in order
to attend the Coronation. This regiment is in ad-
dition lo the four regiments of cavalry, which, as we
have already stated, are to be present on that occa-
sion; but we understand that several other regiments
are also to be in attendance.
