COVEIST-GAltbate.
Mini eIALLANDa resumed her professional ditties
nn. these boards last night, as DONNA Isidore, in
the musical and highly facetious afteipigeo of Bro-
ther aad Sister: She was boldly applauded on the
scene Ara discovering her sitting in the pavilion.
She commenced her part with a,, echo song, to the
prelude of which-, after rising, she Moved down ibe
stage, tints presenting one of the most pleasurable
objects of Visions the steps of. a graceful wthmor
coinciding, with the measures or delightful music.
She gave the song with great eff,!et, oust realized
the teplications of the echo astonishingly. • The
pert's/timid was encored, anti after a struggle he-
*amen the humane considerations of one party, •and
the /Isiree of renewed gratification of another, the
'cite preponderated iii favour of the latter, and the
song was repeated with undiminished cocci. Her
voice seems to be mare than ever at her comtnund,
and this mak/lit that she awakened considerable
surprise as swell as delight in most of the music.
She played the purt, too, iis a snore energetic man-
ner than was looked for, anti so won new •• gnlrlen
iii her favour on every aceasmt. The.
spirit with which she kept up the equirogne of
the plot, when she instigates for uncle to fight
the supposed female (en rerite her earnest and
properly masculine lover), and the ssibsequesit
espovitton which she mattes/11ms at before the
feldireitientenf, was really a happy instance of
display, and would have done honour
FaRREN. The scene, allso,.where she dal-
,liMtviith him, and fixei him on his knees, from the
'tam* miitaken motive, was gracefully and whim-
sihffp
tiostained. The other !parts were asi before.

farclites:tly awakened in Perhero. Mrs. Lts-rort

tion io the original songs, ►he now uttioduces the
admired song of " The Wolf." and with great
tli.ct.—lt is Matter of jolt regret that this jute-

THE SURREY.
The new piece at this theatre promises a .ucce.s-
ful harvest to the Proprietor. The Gentleman who
made his debst in it nit Nlooday night, is a Mr.
FINN, from the American stage, to which lie does
credit. Miss S. BOOTH, who at, greatly contributed
to the interest and effect of the piece.. made her
first appearance on the Loudon boards at the

“ Hoe many limpennadnaatamy *rant onijents
Arent this binuNarfingilt Eimmuswasi
Stt-a-71se letter which I.s to you in the month of
&wailer, to my areal sorpeinelllnteted the attention ot
certain pablic writers; hot thong*. It was written sehtly
the purpose-of placing the subject if party dispute: is What.,
appeared to me a rational light, it seems it failed in its object.
I swiped- I expressed- myself in an Mincer* mower ; and
therefore beg to be allowed to explain my imagism in saying,-
that "our iodination+ and artiowe, whatever they nosy be, ,
use caused by our stations aid oenipations in life."
Let sis suppose ouraetves at the lop of St.-Paul's an a Ism
clear day. From that elevated point we obtain a full view
of the British metropolis, and, an it were, behold a map of the
affairs of the inhibliants qt a bray 'city, spread below our
feet; 'end if we are capable of an exteniive range of thought
k (like Arwiadens, in le Sages tale of The Devil on two Slide),
by means of our own experience, personal intercourse with
mankind, and by what we read, we picture to ourselves those.
acmes which the secresy of men, and the waHs and roofs of
their houses, nimbi hide from our knowledge.
From this position and in- this state of mind, if we turn
our eyes to St. James's, we perceive a description of inhabit-
ants,. remarkable for their courtier-like manner'', opinions,
and muds of life'; if from theta we move round towards the
right, another description of gentry falls under our Tigard,
who tire after a different fashion, amid entertain other views
than their neighbours on the left. As we continue the circle
of our olinervations by Russell-square, Fiesintry-spiare, and
the India House, fresh clam,* pass under our eye, varying
almost entirely frura the preceding ones, both in their feelings
and actions; sad on the bilika of the rieei the change made
is the manners, appvaraare, and inchuations of men by their
uccup Ilion% is remarkably striking.
• _ . .

..
If, again, we look •alnneeome of the large aad crowded
streeto, we perceive in those busy thoroughfares, a state of
life equally distiuct iii its character; sod, if we pry down
the narrow laces, which every where verve as inkis to this
.active stream ani running current, we have new seethes and
' new sentimeitts. I might almost say, a new species uf aut-
os,' presented to our notice.
Now, still remaining oil nor pimiseleeind preserving the
power to "s'orienfee dans la peuide," as the Freuch call it,
but abandwiing the recollection that we are ourselves of the
same nature as the beings we are observing, let us convoke
the causes of those decided' shades of difference which
we discover in the moral and ratinuat opinions and practices
of the millMn souls which are bustling below us.
Each of these Ili orts is born very smart, quite naked, with
hastily enough strength to move itself, and totally ignorant.
Though it has eyes and ears, taste, smell, and (ether, yet
these have not ha id their powers tried; iiti ideas have entered
the mind, and eve.y thought is yet to cutninesice; nod
though suit. nonce is iowessary iii preserve its life, it has
slot yet the thought that it want. food
From such a begaimuy is t•rmed the courtier, the coun-
try gent lelll3lb, jU,.I strived in town for the season, the mer-
chant, the lawyer, the troth-roman, the alderman or mariner,
the servant, or the isibahitaiii of thaw blackguard haunts of
vice and •itlouy. Each has his burly treated is a *hipline('
manner, and his 5,116 C, affected by partieular ideas; he be-
gists to think with those ideas, and learns to have those °pi-
' niuns mid inchnations only, which his situation in life sup-
plies 111111 with; and 1w follows those practices and pursuits
which have mast influence upon Isis individual constitution,
I and which the surronoding mats and position of thongs
open or ifEl,lll the way to. • .
There must be a cause fur every event that occurs, whe-
ther in public or private life; anti as much as one ration is
furred into its line of policy by the conduct of surrounding
✓ations, so is every individual forced into a certain course
by his place in society. 'this general rule is drawn from
experience, •nd we have the foci now in our view, 010.811
these crowds it iubahitants moving below us, move only a.
they are moved, think only as they are tomtit, and set only •
as they learn to act, by what obey hear midst. around them.
And as they proceed in this manner in courses, along whirls
past events drive them, and passing es,. lite attract them,
discoveries and inventions suddenly fall in their way, and
come withisi their kauwiedge, to occasion that progre.:aive
change which is every where and constantly taking place.
The false opiuton that mats lass a choice, must soon sink
before the positive fact, that people only differ in their opi-
nions and practices, according to eiresematantes; and our
strenuous threader of free agency, the Courier, ciunot fail
ere• long to have his underetalidiug enlarged by the palms-
. ble demonstration, that every opinion and practice /MIA be
taught, or as a discovery strike the mind with conviction;
for the many varieties, built good sad had, that are found
in the world, result from the pirticular situation of the
Revere! parties, sod the motions and tortes which it has been
their fortune to light upon 111' pick up.
For a long tins.- the ancients held a notable dispute about
liberty and necessity, and it isi probable that the overthrow
nithe Boman Empire alone posipoued that comprehensive
view which at mice solves the problem. They clearly saw
that the state of the affairs of mankind, at any given period
. of time, was canoed by that which it immediately succeeded;
and this they called by its proper name—orcessity ; but when
they came 111 apply their rule to individual matters, they
directly contradicted their first position, and neatly were •11t11
believed to have proved the existence of individual liberty :
such is the liability to err, when our views are narrow and
cunfined by wpm:et:stuns! This same contradiction appears
it Ilse writings of the modern., and even in those of Mr.
Lucke, who, in the teeth of the ackuowledgment that each.
part depends upon the whole, each :moors to prove that each
individual is Cue front the cusitrol of the law of necessity.
But, quitting such perplexing philosophy, it must be quite
evident to every ingenuous mind, that, as we wake into life
to receive our thought*, riot to give ourselves thoughts, au
we always act (nitro we move in what is called a volunt•ry,
masher) not by diclares of the mind erseted by ourselves,
hut by such as the worbitiking wind is given from likes it
bear*, sees, discovers, •itil is led to behest.
thence it follows, that " fop/to:A the partite engaged is
etniidisplife is neither equitable nor praiseworthy," fur these
parties insist evidently devise their opinions and practices
I (win the circles they mix in, and the ideas which have en-
tered their snirds,•utl they tattoos think or set to a different
manner from that which education, reading, and their 'spe-
ctates teach Ile m. No one would be reckoned a rational be-
issit wbu should expect an ignor int infant to form its own
mamma and sentiments; and tinly.ao trite oughl 10 be con-
sidered in his proper senses who cutertains the absurd notion
that his neighbour is blameable for following that cowry, of
life, which all who bave sound sense must sus tie is forced
into.
Thal many opinion, and practices are extremely detri-
ment,' to society I am not Mere Joining; but I ass main-
taining, and, I lwlieve,- pruviag, that all our Thoughts and
actions are the it y remit of that impression which a
variety of practices make in different degrees on different
minds. Therefore it follows, that until we C• 11" calmly and
i collectedly look into the ordure of things, and the condition
I and springs of Aswan nature," we shall never succeed in
discovering the canoes of discord, or in reforming those
abuses " which tend to generate corruption and oppression."
I have, sir, stets much of the world, different nations, mud
different societies; and as it is generally allowed that " see-
Ilag the world" essbylaeos the mind, I trust that your judi-
cious readers will nut be disposed to, pass a hasty sentence
I upon the opinions which I have here ventured to publish.
I am, Sir, Sec.

only to receive, and he was hit down in both rounds.
Fur several emends Bunn either sopped, fell from weak-
ness, or was weaved down, and in some of them, when his
adversary fell upon him, there was much murmuring, and
" Fair!" " Foal!" was the cry.
In she 13th rouud Bunn was bit heavy with the right band
in going dowu.
In the 14th round Bunn, with a face truly hideous, and
bleeding from every pore, in a state of stupor, said, " The

ealkd out " Foul!" and said that Brown had fallen with his

between the partisans were great, and whilst some fights and
other by-play was going on, the umpires saw no pretensions
fur any charge of fool, and decided the battle in f
Brown, via. both umpires and the refe►ee. A wag gave
Randall credit fur his humanity in taking, or rather lifting

lead, and he punished his adversary ly wills his left
hand as be was running in. The right hand of Sanders,
however, often told, and it closed one of Belasco's eyes, and
the left was not inactive. There were several changes in
• the battle, whirls !said half an hour; but Sanders could
nut keep the best of it. Itelasco's science gave his adver-
sary a most frightful head. •
