The piece abounds with incidents and situations
of interest, and the characters are appropriate to the
scene. The main action is relieved by the introduc-
lion of a few songs to well-known Scottish airs, sung
with much sweetness by Mr. BROADHURST, in
the character of Disbar, a young suitor of Alice ;
and by the eccentricities of Gillespie Farantosh,
landlord of the Blue Sheep's Head public-house,
which are given by Mr. WI Latusus,• with that
dry quaintness and drollery peculiarly his own.
The enterprising boldness and wily cunning which
blend in the character of Gordon, the Gipsy, were
forcibly marked in the animated and imposing style
of Mr. T. P. COOKE'S acting ; the conscience-
sti.clten, care-worn Garin Cameron, was effectively
suataissed by Mr. ROWROTHAM. Miss CARR in-
fused into the trifling part of Alice, all the
interest of which it was susceptible ; and Mrs.
BILT•K succeeded to admiration in grafting
upon the feebleness of age the infuriated frenzy
of the excited passions of a crazy old High-
land women. A variety of beautiful scenery
was exhibited iu the course of the piece, among
which the view of a Scotch village at evening;
the tower of Drummond's Keep, and the lock,
by moonlight, and the Gipsies' haunt, were parti-
cularly noticed ; and " The Gipsies' Glee" of the
Isle Mr. Reeve, was introduced, and admirably
macested, is the &seise. SOWN trifling eropmisis
of disapprobation were manifested at the close of
the piece, which were speedily overpowered by the
plaudits of the general company ; and on its an-

inhabitants of Highgate, _but like Wise to the polite at

of the said Bill, were the Wardens and &memories of the tree
panamse school of Sir Rope Choloweky, knight, in High-
gate, who were at the same Viseleefeadsais to an information
which had been filed against them with the concurreoce of
the Attoemey-generol, for the purpose et procuring an appro-
priation of all the reweave. of the re...dation according to.
the intention Odle founder. The Bill was foe:Wed upon am
dermaptloS, that &prang, made in the year 1565, by the then
Bishop of London to Sir Roger Chohnelcy, by whose row.
cermet the property hi now vested is the promoters of the
Bill, was void. Upon this aisseepthri of the Trustees, it was
by them proposed to deprive the charity of a considerable
part of its revenues, for the avowed purpose of building a
chapel of ease, for the use of the ishabilauts of Highgate;
tied et constituting the village of Highgate and its vicinity
Palo "a district chapeley or parish." It was asilerted in the
Italie of Conmorm, that it was the wish of four thoommid
peewits in Highgate that the Bill should pare. If this were
a fact, it would sot Woof siimeh importance in looking st the
or:proceed direction of the founder. the assertion was not;
however, founded id troth; for, in the first place, taking the
hamlet of Highgate Itself, according to the pis! emus; the
population, iacloidiag men, worsen* sad children, does not
consist of More the, two theorised eve bundnd souls; and,
I. the sehead place; several Public limiting' of the inha-
bitant' of Highgate woke held, for the purpose of takiag the
Sense of the hamlet upon the needoct of the governor', with
referee's to the administration of their trust; upon which
occasion reito/otiosis were 'depict (with the exer-ption of
dtrite dissentient 'vim), in terms expressive of the dissp-
probation of the hamlet regardiog such condoct.
I will now, Mr. Editor, with your leave, inform you a
little respeethog the nature and coostaintion of this charity;
and I can assure you I have been at considerable trouble and
virtue to learn the same. It appears, that by letters pa-
teat of Queen Elizabeth, is 1565, Sir Roger Chohneley was
empowered to fouud mad endow a free grammar school; for
that purpose the royal license was given, enabling hint to
receive any lauds, bereditanouts, &c. for the better male-
teasers of the said school; the licume also went on to
authorize soy permits to gives lends, lee. to Bar Rimer amino'.
ley fur the same porpose. lo the same year, its ponnanee
of such Scrim, Bishop Crandall (me Lord of the manor of
Heusi", and not as Bishop of London), granted and con-
firmed to Sir Roger Cliolmeley a small chapel at Highgate
(which was formerly a hermitage), together with two acres
of the waste land adjuiaiog to it, on the expressed condition
that Sir Roger Cholnieley should thereupon tune, such
chapel and lands, together with certain other premises given
to the school by him to Masters, who, in pursuance of the
original charter, were to be coostituted foyers«s fur the
use and !maintenance of the said free grammar school fee
ever, aid for no other purpose. Almost immediately after
this' (viz. in Jame 1565), Sir Roger Chanute, accordingly,
and in pursuance of the letters patent, coaveyed the
chapel, two acres, and other property therein mentioned,
to the Trustees, to hold to them, for the use of the sclatmol,and
the better msinteuauce and support of the same tor ever,ond
to no other ate wAarever. This last escalloped deed thus, is
the iustrumert which invests the promoters of tie Bill with
the character of Trustees. Under this deed they have (tne.
ther with their predecessors) been is the undisputed
mummies' of all the estates beloogiog to the foundation (the
chapel and two acres included) from that time till the pretest,
and the see arising from all such estates have invariably
been deemed the reveries of the charity. Under theseeir-
cumstaaces, I submit it to you, Mr. Editor, that Parliuseat
could mot, upon the " apprehension" of the Trustees, who
are booed by every obligation to resume the charity estates,
permit those Trustees to represent that their title is defec-
tive, sod by that mesas to saectioo an appropriation of the
funds to purposes never contemplated by the donor. I beg
to apprise Jon, Mr. Editor, that it was asserted by the pro-
moters of the Bill, that the chapel has ever been at chariot'
ease to the hamlet of Highgate. This assertive was, bow.
eve', native. There is now living teetieneay of such chapel,
previous to its eolargemeet i• 1772, bring seder the rooms
that were them seed fur the purposes of thegrammor school.
hue likewise be proved by she same testimony, that there
was a classical library attached to such school, sad that tie
kasha grammar was taught there.
Before I conclude, Mr. Editor, I meet congratulate the ist.
habitants of Highgate, sad the enlighleeed public will also,
am sure, juin with me sincerely in way congratulatiour, at the
defeat of this most iniquitous Bill, whets they are iofortmed of
the ulnae of one dense of the said Sill, which noo.t extra.

Complisheseuts, to wriest to the world, so affectionately

to this doctrine, and so perfectly conscious of baying con-
formed to his own precept, that be conclude, his delightful
intent-cleat lecture, in his history of his little divinity, the
Little Gipsy, with hit own appropriate reward, " the poets
usaniutoosty sung this happy theme, mid a tekbrated his-
torian so beautifully told her tale, that the renown of Pre-
tiosa will be equally interesting to future ages." The reader
will be satisfied bow much, how truly the author's prophecy
in 1600 is fulfilled, when he peruses his fascinating Molten
in as excellent English dress, in the year 1822 !
My fair interpreter, justly delighted with this little his-
tory, with the virtuous character and exalted 'inhuman of
the beautifsl Gipsy, iu whose chaste conduct and dignity of
deportment, in whose adorable qual.ties and genius, she be-
held all that genuine wit, and sound principle, which pre end•

log sod disposing of all things at the shrine of Virtue: that
a woman cannot have too mach aristocracy, either in het'
opinion, or is tin choice of society; that sublime ideas are

grief, far more corroding to the sensible reflecting mind, then

crime, they never can completely purify the united from a
sense of infamy. Let it be repeated, that highly delighted
with the jest principles cuataised in this little history, sad the
moral character and exalted oestiments of the Little Gipsy,
so amply displayed, so chastely mar reed, my fair interpreter
