Court at his Palace at St. James's, which is the Brat Court
that has been held at that place for about eighteen years.

tion of a Joint-Stock Company of great magnitude and im-
portance. It is entitled, Societe conameaditaire de
elptchtstrie." Its object is to promote the general industry
of the muntry, in any undertaking to which, on mature
consideration, it may appear advisable to apply capital.
The sum subscribed is fifty-millions of francs, with power,
if necessary, to increase the subscription to twice that ex-
tent. This sum is divided into fifty thousand shares of a
thousand francs each. The Company enly waits for the
royal license to begin its operations. It will itself originate
no undertaking. According to its title, it will only furnish
capital to undertakings already commenced by individuals,
and in every instance in which assistance is _rendered, the
undertaking must have for its ohject, specially, either the
promotion of some new branch of industry, or the
im-
provement of some existing manufacture. "The Company
will not interfere with any trade, except with a view to its
advancement In one of these respects. The business of the
Company will be conducted with great care and prudence.
It will prefer remaining wholly inactive to risking its success
by any precipitation. It will be governed by a general board
of management, by which all propositions will be examined
and decided ; a committee of directors, by which the plans,
when adopted, will be carried into execution, and five cen-

company. The General Board of Management will con-

THEATRE.
Last night a most nuineroas and fashionable audience
were assembled at this theatre, to witness the third reprg-
sentation of 11 Crekiot., in Egitto. At an early hour
lnearly eirery box was filled with company, and before the
curtain drew up a seat in the pit was not to be obtained,
Signor Velluti was.mtich more successful than on either of
his former appearances, because having overcome his timi-
dity, he gave fuller scope to his powers; his execution was
,extremely brilliant, and the certainty with which he ap-
peared to go through the moat difficult passages, surpassed
almost every other singer we have heard, and his voice
possesses great power. The duett " ; girt vareasti in-
degno" with Curioni was snitch mere effective than on the
former representations; and his duett with Madame Cara-
dori, " II Tcnero Affetto," from its neatness of execution,
and beauty of expression, was one of the must beautiful
performances that we ever heard ; it was rapturously.
applauded, said received an unanimous encore. i'llrough.-
out the whole of the night it was apparent that Signor
Velluti is becoming &decided favourite with the- public.
Madetnoiselle Garcia sustained the character of Felicia
extremely well ; however she, like her father, is distin-
guished by a redundancy of ornament in every part of her
performance. The Opera also derived considerable sup-
port from Madame Cartulori, who sang the very expressive
aril 44' Ah mire l'angelo' in her boat style. Ctirioni and
Remorini also played with their usual success. The
opera was followed by the ballet of La Coquette Soumise.
DRURY-LANE.
Last night, after the comedy of the Jealous it had
bees hurried through in a very inefficient manner at this
**re, was produced a dramatic piece entitled Fire
Minutes too Lade, or an Elopement p Rheims, got up for
the purpose of introducing a representation of the cere-
monials which took place upon the decasion of the corona-
tion of Charles X. The dramatic part of this entertain-
ment is absolutely beneath criticism. It consists of the
adventures of "wog- Clipeard 417.1iirley), a. pawn-,
brolier's shoturiaSs;;:wlsO weasusa bottle green coat, an 4
aseteeda in entrapping the-ifectiona of his master
daughter, Nancy Iteadydumps (Miss I. Paton) who wears
a pea-greeh habit. This pair of loving turtles abscond for
France, from the Three Golden Balls, in the Strand, for
the purpose, as the lady declares, of being united in " the
(*negated state." In their way to the " the French
cestment," as Mr. Clibrard denominates it, they take
Brighton, where they are first introduced to our notice,
bitting in an apartment at the Old Ship Inn, the waiter
bang busied, according to the printed book of the play, in
" taking sway the dishes and plates on which they have
dined. After this novel sort of meal, they get on board
a steamer bound for Dieppe, being closely pursued by Old
Readycluinps (Mr. Terry) and his housekeeper (Mrs.
Harluwe), who bears the romantic name of Mistress Picea-
lilly. We must just atop a moment here to give our
readers an idea of the literary merits of this production—
take part of a glee—
" In peace, we sail upon trading trips,
" In war, we serve in our Sartmeign s ships

Give us some civic, good apothecary, to sweeten our

Arrived at Dieppe, our hero and heroine set off fir
Rheims, as closely followed by Readythimps anti Picrafin3
,as Harlequin and CefonsLine, by Clown and Pantaloon, in a
pantomime. This journey gives occasion for the irditaduc-
lion of some beautiful scenery by Roberts; it colisrsts of
panoramic views of the coast to Havre, thence by the river
Seine to Rouen, and afterwards to Rheims ; a view of
' Paris being given in the distance. These are among the
finest scenic efforts we have ever witnessed, mid are almost
the only part of this spectacle (with the exception of the

pursuers, having first
loarning which fact,
seeing nigh ter ,hole forest of
ostrich feathers, Old licadydumps naturally anti charac-
teristically forgives them, and all proceed to the grand
scene of the Coronation. The ceremonies of the Nacre
commence by a grand procession, consisting of the King
and State,, to the metropolitan church, the exterior of
which is beautifully and faithfully represented in a scene
of great merit by Roberta. The persons composing the
procession pass in succession front the stage round the pit, on
a platform laid down for the purpose on a level with li
Ant dress boxes. The effect of this part of the represent/1-
,1184 as not so fine as might have been expected, but was
sompensated by the following scene, by Marinari, depicting
the interior of the cathedral, as fitted up for the coronation
ceremony, and filled by the several characters and per-
sonages convoked to attend it. The dresses and decorations
of the King, Nobles, &c. in this scene, including the
regalia, are exceedingly splendid, and, united with the so-
lemn nature of the ceremonial, produce a most striking
and imposing effect. It is given out the copies of costume,
&c. are in every respect faithful. We have no reason to
.doubt it, as in general they are very splendid.
On the whole,. the production of this spectacle does great
credit to the liberality and spirit of the Management ; we
trust the patronage of the public will be sufficient to repay
the enormous expense that must have attended it. But
to do so the houses must be better than that of last night.
We have already expressed our opinion pretty frankly of
the dramatic portion of this piece. It is in truth mise-
rable ; anti as it regards any connexion with the Corona-
tion, is worse than supererogatory—a piece of low imperti-
nence. We would recommend it to be discarded altogether,
forming, as it at present does, such a sorry frame to so
splendid a picture. Under iose circumstances, we shall
say nothing of the performers who were doomed to bear a
part in it, farther titan that they one and all exerted
themselves to the utmost ; and that if the low vulgarity of
the dialogue, and the profusion of miserah:e puns which
pervade this " ('omit Sketch," occasionally called down
the hisses of the audience, the actors were in no degree
culpable. The new Music, which is a joint-stock concern
of Messrs. Ilishop,.Horne, and 'f. Cooke, is in many parts
pretty and striking.

PullLK, lIREAICFAST AT BROMPTON PARE.
This elegant retreat, the abode of Mr. Greenwood, was
yesterday a scene of distinguished gayety. Carriers began
to arrive at three o'clock, and continued without intermis-
sion till half-past six, at which hour there were upwards
of seven hundred of the most fashionable equipages

hood, to the distance of half a mile, in every direction.
Amongst the exalted visitert, exceeding two thowtand In
number, were the Dukes of York, Cambridge, Wellington,
and (:'oucester, and nearly all the Nobility of both sexes.
The refection, consisting of every delicacy of the season,
with a profusion of the wines of every clime, was spread
in covered avenues. The beautiful grounds wore laid out
in the most attractive manner for the occasion, with mar-
quees, &c., and a splendid military band continued
throughout the day to regale the company with select and
appropriate music. The beauty of the weather lent
dazzling charm to the scene, never surpassed by any fete
champetre of a similar nature. The carriages commenced .
taking up at eight o'clock, and continued to do so foe
several hours before the grounds were ebtirely deserted.
Every precaution was taken to prevent the confusion so
pikely to ensue upon the congregation of so many carriages.
A large party of the London patrol were statioaed in the
vicinity for this purpose.

INFANT SCHOOLS. •
We rejoice to see the p--...........-
roLvress which she System of
afarit Schools is making, not only in the metropcdis. bat
throughout the country. It is urged against these 'natl.
tutions, that they relieve the parents too much from the
charge of bringing tip their oftlipring. If this objection
really applies to Infant Schools, it is deserving of serious,
consideration; for in that case they would only encourage
excessive population, and by that means add at the present
stock of want, wretchedness, and crime. Sot we are
satisfied that this objection does not apply to Infant
Schools, as they only relieve the parents in that particular
in which they too often neglect their duty, and indeed are
frequently incapable of performing it satisfactorily. The
regulations of these Institutions require that the children
shall be brought every morning to the sehool in a cleanly
state, and decently clothed; and they are also required to
bring their dinners with them: so that in these matters
the parents save nothing; on the contrary, they are perhaps
incited, by the example of an industrious neighbour, to
clothe their children better than they otherwise would. In
some Schools, too, they pay a penny or twopettee a week
for each child: and this salutary regulation, wu think,
should never be omitted. It is, then, only with respect to
their attendance upon their children that these Institu-
tions can relieve the poor. Now it is obvious that during
working hours they can pay but little attention to their
children, and consequently they are left to take their
chance in the street, or are shut up in some close and
crowded apartment.
Experieuce has proved that infants of three or four years
old may be instructed. They may be taught the essence of
religious truth; they may learn to estimate the
,propriety
of the golden rule, that no one should do to another what
he should dislike if done to hitntelf. Their passions may,.
ttssides, be controultsl, and they may be instructed to be-
have respectfully to their superiors, and kindly to their com-
panions. Now, although the instruction which infants re-
quire is but little, in order that their tempers and habits
may be properly tliscipiined, much care, and constant at-
tention, are requisite. For this task the parents have not
time : and, indeed, the tempers of many are not suited to
it. When called from their avocations by a fretful and
quarrelsome child, they find it easier to scold and bear,
than with kindness to reprove and convince. The great
advantage of the Infant School system consists in the fact,
that the conductor knous it-is his business to attend to the
children, and to correct their faults, at all events, with
kindness; and, if possible, to convince them they are
wrong. Children will appreciate the kindness of one who
interests himself in their favour. The division of labour is
as applicable to education as to trade. We could wish to
show the fallacy of some other objections to them institu-
tions ; hut this article is already longer than we intended.
IV'e shall, perhaps, return to the subject.

MAD DOGS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.
St a,—The melancholy detail in. your paper of to-day
respecting (logy, intlnces me to state to you the following
fact, which omurred only on Saturday:—
Walking Isom hence to St. John's-street, Smithfield, I
took the nearest way, across Clerkenwell-green ; but its
Portpool-lane, and beyootl it, a doubt arose whether I
could safely proceed, owing to the number of dogs col •
lected together in these narrow passes. In one place, from
fifty to sixty were congregated, to the annoyance and pro.
bathe injury of his Nlsjesty's subjects. And to whom do
these dogs belong? Why, to a let of beings who ei4he.•
make no use of them at all, or keep them and use them for
any purpose but a beneficial one. 1 am for allowing to
all classes the extreme latitude of innocent amusement,
but I beg to suggest, that amongst the class Of persons
who inhabit the district I have mentioned, the permission
to keep dogs, at large, ,inJ iiithaut beiNg
muzzled, is
neither
necessary nor safe. The local Authorities should
lo k into and restrain this abuse. If they do not, 1 ven-
ture to predict that ere long serious mischief will ensue tit
that quart,. r, similar to the New-road catastrophe.
