THEATRICALS.

Daun y-LANE.--The appearance of this The-
atre last night, at the representation of Der
Frieschutz, formed a striking contrast to the
events of the preceding evening. This extraor-
dinary Dramt was attended by a numerous au-
dience, and no noise occurred but that arising
from the terrific INCANTATION, and the con-
cluding scene, in which Caspar falls a victim to
the Infernal spirit, except indeed the applause
which attended the piece altogether.
It should bet mentioned, to the credit of
Drury-lane Theatre, that six Gentleman who at-
tended for the purpose of supporting Mr. KEAN,
on Monday last, offered a guinea each to he ad-
m itt•d into the Pit before the doors were opened,
and afterwards arose to an orier of five guineas
each for the same purpose, but were refused.

Amateur Peribrntances al the Gosport Theatre.—On Friday
evening the 14th instant, for the benefit of 111 r. and Mrs. RE-
)(atm, the comedy of Speed the Plough was acted—and the
term we conceive may be strictly applied—by the gentlemen
amateuri, to the high gratification of an elegant and crowded
audience. It is not our intention to enter into a critical ana-
lysis of each individual character ; but in justice to the parties
who so ably acquitted themselves, we may perhaps be permit-
ted, for the satisfaction of the public, to give a brief outline of
the merits of the different gentlemen concerned.—Sir Philip
Blandf,n-d was distinguished by profound judgment, acute feel-
ing, and a dignity of manner, which gave us a perfect picture
of the sour sorrowing Baronet. His brother Baronet was given
with an eccentricity of manner, that whimsical mixture of
pleasure and pain, of hope and fear, so completely character-
istic of the hen-pecked husband. Ilis son, the gay Bob Handy,
evinced the most perfect knowledge of fashionable life with the
ease of vivacity and elegance. Hear?, was performed with full
pathos and energy. Morringtou had a just conception and
execution of the character ; as had the representative of Ger-
ald ; and in Farmer Ashfleld we found so entirely the old
stager, that we could scarcely believe it was an amateur—the
dialect was so chaste, the appearance so natural, the humour
so rich, that it had all the tact of a veteran performer ; indeed
the whole performance was of that order, as the loud and re-
peated plaudits proved, that would have given credit to regular
professors. The ladies of the theatre, Miss Woolfe, Mrs. Re-
naud, Mrs. Halliday, and Miss Routh, exerted their best
efforts; and we never witnessed a greater treat than was given
that evening at the Gosport theatre.
Lady LYON patronized the performances at the Portsmouth
theatre on Wednesday evening last, and the pieces went off
with great eclat. The new melodrama of the Floating Beacon
was received with unbounded approbation.
We are authorised to state, that Capt. Davies Smith (R.E.)
did not assist in the recent amateur theatricals at Gosport.—

Mr. MATHEWS concluded his professional tour at Liverpool
on Wednesday night last, having performed his Trip to Ame-
rica four nights to crowded houses.

MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.

TO TIIII IiDITOII OF THE *UK.

asa a LADY with a numerous progeny,
among whom I am proud to rank rurself ; and your zeal in
favour of myself and your brethren and sisters is so well known
to me, and so highly appreciated, that I do not know to whom
I can better address my complaints than to you ; especially as
it was through you that I became informed of the undutiful

conduct of certain of my children, on which I wish to say a few
words.

It was always my wish that all my children should have a
good education ; and in proportion to my sense of the im-
portance of this blessing, has always been my indignation
whenever I have seen any designing and unworthy members of
my family imposing on the ingenuous credulity of their simpler
brethren, by disguising their mercenary schemes under the
specious garb of improved systems of education. Not less,
you may be sure, Sir, have I suffered when I have seen edu-
cation perverted to the advancement of the very evils, the
counteraction of which is its main concern. My own idea of
education may be rude, and out of date, but this it is :—I
would have all my children educated for the callings tbr which
they are severally intended : the churchman should have divi-
nity, classics, and science ; the lawyer should add to the ordi-
nary attainment of a gentleman the study of native antiquities
and jurisprudence ; the artisan should be well versed in all
those branches of knowledge which improve him in discharging
the duties of his calling • and all should possess a thorough
knowledge of one book at least, formerly much respected, and
called the Bible.
Such being my opinions on education, you may be suro they
did not well amalgamate with what you tell Inc (and
" SOLEM quis dicere falsutu
" Audeat?"
is the aim of the Mechanics' Society ; namely, that it " is not
confined to the acquirement of science alone, but embraces a
wider field, and that, from the transaction of their last meeting,
it would seem as if they intended to take in THE WHOLE
RANGE OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE, and bring its benefits, like
those of the laws, home to every man's door." If the Mecha-
nics' Society really profess to do this, they must be the greatest
humbugs in existence; a head at least as wise as any among
them has settled this matter, and 1 shall not scruple to adopt
his words. " The wisdom of a learned man cometh by oppor-
tunity of leisure ; and he that bath little business shall become
wise. flow can he get wisdom that holdeth the plough and
that glorieth in the goad, that driveth oxen, and is occupied in
their labours, and whose talk is of bullocks ?"—(Ecclesiasticus,
xxxviii. 24.) " The whole range of human knowledge" was
never the lot of any man, however learned; and this is now to
be the prize of every bricklayer and carpenter. Seven years
apprenticeship are required for a knowledge of their particular
trades ; how many do they intend to devote to each branch of
" human knowledge ?"
But this is not all ; if the humbug ceased here, there would be
much to laugh at, but nothing worse. But it seemsenougb " hu-
man knowledge" is not contained in the manly and expressive
tongue in which I instructed my sons. Icannotoffer them a" Can-
dide,"a"Pacclle,"a Philosophical Dictionary, an "Eloise." A s
NECESSARY STEP TOWARDS THIS GRAND AND UNIVERSAL
INFORMATION, IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT A KNOWLEDGE
OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE WOULD BE nEtturslTE !"
Why ? Would it not be better that these candidates for uni-
versal knowledge should know their own language first, which
nineteen-twentieths of them, I would venture to pronounce,
can neither speak nor spell? " No," say these "
Timor tsTs' —" No—denationalize them. Instead of good
Christians, loyal subjects, manly hearts, sound members of
English society, make them compounds of 'Popery and infide-
lity, presumptuous, self-willed, speak ill of government !"
A Mr. Black was not wanting to improve the hint—
" Hi.c NIGER. est ! hunc tu, Romane, caveto !"
I lament deeply to find that too many of my children arc be•
come his pupils; era. if any thing could aggravate this feeling,
it is to know, that he has found an Advocate in the EDITOR
of THE SUN !
• , However these sentiments may be at variance with yours, I
• .fruit- as a dutiful son, whose services on all occasions lam
proud to proclaim, that you will not refuse to insert this at the
particular request of
Your obliged and affectionate Mother.

Letters and Papers have been received from
Demerara to the 11th ult. The trial of one of
the Colonists for forgery had excited great inte-
rest. After a long investigation, R. C. STOREY
had been found guilty of forging bills of exchange
on the house of DANIEL and Co. Bristol, purport-
ing to be drawn by JouN AUSTIN, in Demerara.
The latter, on his arrival in England some time
since, was surprised on finding bills of exchange,
to the amount of nearly five thousand pounds,
had been accepted and paid in his name, and that
others were left to a considerable amount to be
accepted ; an investigation immediately took
place, which ultimately led to the arrest and
trial of R. C. SToaEY ; he has now been found
guilty, and awaits his sentence. As Demerara
is governed by Dutch laws, he is not likely to
suffer death. The penalty is branding and
banishment. The sentence was daily expected
to be promulgated.

WINDSOR, ,Tax. 25.
This afternoon her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta
paid a visit to the Hon. Miss Townshend, at the Castle ; after
which her Royal Highness took-an airing in the Great Park.—
Orders were received at the Royal Lodge on Saturday last. for.
the remaining part of the.household, which are stationed there,
to proceed to London on Monday ; but those orders were on
Sunday evening countermanded; from which circumstance we
doubt not that his 11.1ajesty will shortly return to the Lodge.—
Nothing can possibly exceed the rapidity with which the whole
of the improvements are now making, both in the interior and
e. erior of the Castle ; the latter, owing to the mildness
of the season, has not received the least drawback.—
The corridor, which runs from the North-east corner to
the New Gateway, has made great progress, and al-
ready sheers • the magnificent appearance and decided im-
provement given to the quadrangle. The elevation of
the south froist is now completed, and the workmen have par-
tially commenced lowering the court-yard ;in the course of
which they discovered, at an inconsiderable depth below the
surface, a few stone steps, apparently leading to a subterra-
neous apartment. The research being continued, it was fbund
to be the entrance to an immense excavation, hollowed in the
chalk to the depth of nearly eighty feet. From the peculiar
construction of this pit, and the circumstance of no passage,
connecting it with any other part of the building, being at all
discernible, it is supposed that it has been employed, in days
of feudal violence, as a place of confinement for the unhappy
victims of civil disseutions.

Labarre, and Miss Wensley, delighted thecompany with theirre-
spective talents. The Concert began with the Hunter's chorus in
Freischuis ; and a duet, sung by Miss Wensley and Mr. Sola,
was highly admired. Mr. Spagnoletti played the violin
admirably. An amateur relative of Mr. Rothschild sung beau-
tifully ; and Mr. Sala delighted the party with his unmatched
flute, and his lively songs were received with enthusiasm. A
magnitiouut supper followed in a style of great elegance. The
party did not separate till very late.
PARIS. JAN. 20.—The dinner which M. de Rothschild gave
on Saturday to the Prince of Saxe Coburg was in a style of
princely magnificence. The President of the Council and the
other Cabinet Ministers, their Ladies, and Mrs. and Miss
Canning, were present; but the uest whose appearance at the
same board with Monsieur de s'illele excited the most sur-
prise was the Duke Mathieu de Montmorency.

The Earl and Countess of LITERPOOL came to
town on i‘londay morning, from Coombe Wood.
The Noble Earl gave a Cabinet Dinner to the
Cabinet Ministers yesterday, at his house in
Whitehall.

We are concerned to state, that the venerable
Dean of CANTERBURT is seriously indisposed at
the Rectory House, St. James's. Ills Physician,
Dr. AI ATON, is in constant attendance upon him.
CUSTOM 110 USE.—It has been souse time
known that a great part of this splendid struc-
ture had settled, and that a similar danger was
apprehended in other quarters. This morning,
we understand, that a part of the Long Room
had sunk in the same manner, but happily was
not attended with injury to any individuals.
PARISIAN AN ucooTE.—An event which has
lately taken place at Paris, though of a private nature, has yet
become the subject of very general conversation, as it has de-
prived the public for some time back, and is likely to do so
' much longer, of the most perfect actress the French stage has
ever bad to boast of. It has been long known to all the world
in Paris that for many years back Mademoiselle Mars has been
living on terms of the most intimate footing with Colonel Br—k,
a very handsome man and brave officer. This gentleman was,
in fact, a husband to Mademoiselle Mars in every sense of the
word except the religious ceremony. lie had the uncontroulled
management of her fortune, and was so skilful or fortunate in
his administration of it, that he considerably augmented its
amount, besides gaining for himself, either by speculatihn with
her funds in the stocks, or in building ground purchased at a
low rate, and re-let at an enormous profit, a sum, it is said, of
600,000 francs (24,000/.) It is said that Mademoiselle Mars
had frequently offered to marry him, and it was the convic-
tion of their mutual friends that such would have been the
result of so long a connection. But an unexpected event
has put an end to this long standing liaison, and to all hopes
of future marriage. A short time back Colonel Br—k invited
about 20 of his friends, and amongst them Mademoiselle Mars,
to dinner. During the repast all went on gaily as usual until
the dessert appeared, when Col. Br—k suddenly arose and thus
addressed his guests. "My friends," said he, "it is time that
I should inform you of the motive of my bringing you to-
gether on this occasion. You see before you in my person, the
most famous cuckold in Paris, and nay fortunate rival is M.
31—, that young fair-haired (blondin) officer, whom you
all know. It is he that I point out to you as my substitute, as
my successor in the good graces of Madame !" During this
extraordinary address Madame Mars was in a state of agitation
more easy to conceive than describe. She was carried in a state
of insensibility to her own house, and has not since re-appeared
upon the stage. he next morning Colonel Br—k left Paris
for Strasbourg, where his family resides.

To JOHN SYMMONS Esq. A. M. F. R. S. F. A. S. of Pad-
dington House, on the death of Sir JosErlt BAN' xs, written
between Montpelier and Marseilles, in the Gulf of Lyons, by
the Illustrator of Ossian.

Joy to my friend, whom every Muse admires,
Whose scientific mind each art explores ;
Here, seeking health, that Gallia's clime inspires,
I sail in hope, even to her farthest shores!
Montpelier now is sinking in the sea,
And thy high mountains, Marseilles, rise in sight,
The Rhone we pass whose stream glides rapidly
Through flowery meads, and scenes of fond delight.
Oh, Symmons, could the Muse thy virtues trace,
Here would she gratefully those scenes renew,
When first with thee I pmv'd the kind embrace
Of him *—the whole world's friend—all, friend, adieu!
Ilis worth was priz'd wherever Science stray'd,
His loss is felt wherever Science bends !
To meet the man of worth he ne'er delay'd,
And still the friend of him that had not friends !
Rest, blessed spirit, in the realms of peace,
Though the whole world thy peerless loss deplores;
Thy useful life the Muse shall never cease
To deem a blessing given to Britain's shores.
But, Symmons, be that day prolong'd till late,
When from the field of Science called away,
His generous partner must submit to fate,
And bid the weeping Muse renew her lay.
Oh, yes my friend, with every comfort blest,
Be thine all happiness yet many a year,
And of thy virtues be thy sons possest,
So they, like thee, to Science shall be dear.
But, hark—a Pilot, for thy Port Marseilles..
Prompts the sad Muse to end her wayward lay
The beauteous prospect round, her gloom dispel's,
And cheerfulness begins, and brighten'd day.

Rtirm. HuNT.-3londay morning his INlajecty's Stag
Hounds met at Salt Hill, and one of the deer which was lest
summer taken from the New Forest, was turned out bef.re a
very numerous field of sportsmen, and afforded a most brilliant
run for an hour and twenty minutes, and was taken atGerrard's
Cross, near Beaconsfield. This is the fourth time they hare
hunted this kind of deer during the present season, and have
experienced the sharpest runs ever witnessed.

SINGULAR GRANT TO WHALLEY ABM:Y.—Amory,- " the
grants to this abbey is a singular one by Henry Duke ofLan-
caster, of 2 cottages, 7.acres of land, a hundred ant eighty-three
acres of pasturage, and two hundred of wood in Blackborn-
chase ; and another grant of the same nature in the neigdhbour-
hood, for the support of a female recluse, and 2 women servants
within the parish church-yard of Whalley. who were perpetual-
ly to pray for the souls of the Duke and all his posterity. The
convent was to repair their habitation, and to provide a chap-
lain and a clerk to sing mass to them in the chapel be-
longing to their retreat; to bestow on them weekly seven-
teen loaves, of such bread as was used in the abbey ; seven
loaves of the second sort; eight gallons of the better sort of
beer, and threepence for their food. Besides, they had an-
nually, on the feast of All Saints, ten large stock fish, a bushel
of oatmeal for pottage, a bushel of rye, two gallons of oil for
their lamps, one pound of tallow for candles, six load of turf
and one of faggots for their fuel. Upon the death of these
recluses, the Duke or his heirs were to appoint successors.
A SIITLETON.—A few weeks ago, while some
workmen were employed in digging a new road,
on the estate of Drumduan, near Forres, belong-
ing to Colonel FeAsett, 11.E.1.C.5, a gentleman
happened to pass., when they were levelling the
Gallow-hill, about 200 yards east of Nelson's
monument, and directed their attention to a parti-
cular spot,where they found a human skeleton, en-
tire,and in good preservation. The shoes were also
found containing the sinews of the feet, quite fresh.
The circumstances connected with this discovery
are curious, and indisputably true. About 80 years
ago a soldier was sentenced to be shot for deser-
tion, and to heighten the impression, lie was led
out from the gaol of Forres to the Gallow-hill,
in his grave clothes, on a St. Lawrence market-
day. The runner who had stopped at Burn-end
(formerly a public-house, about '2 miles east from
Forms), arrived about an hour after the sentence
had been executed, with, among other official
dispatches, a reprieve for the poor fellow. The
spot where the skeleton was found was gene-
rally known by the name of the " sodger's
grave ;" and there are two or three of the inha-
bitants who remember the day on which he was
shot. It is not long since the man who made the
coffin (James Smith) died. Part of the shoe is
in the possession of our informant. Several
skeletons were found in the immediate neighbour-
hood, which, we presume, without any great vio-
lation of probability, may have lain there since
the celebrated battle against the Danes and Nor-
wegians. We are strengthened in this opinion,
when we reflect that the hieroglyphic Obelisk to
the memory of Swenno, the Danish King, is with-
in a quarter of a mile of the place.—(hwereess
Paper.)
IMPORTANT NYENT lON.—A person of the
name of Itonewrs, who is at present in Bolton,
has constructed an apparatus which will prove
useful and valuable in the highest degree. Its
object is the safety of life and property, in case
of fire, or where any suffocating or noxious va-
pour exists. It consists of a hood and mouth-piece,
so contrived as to render the wearer enabled to
breath, with perfect ease and safety, in the midst
of the densest smoke. In case of dwelling-
houses, warehouses, factories, ships at sea, &c.
being on fire, its advantages are incalculable.—
Roberts exhibited the efficacy of the above
extraordinary discovery at the mines of the
Earl of Balcarras, a few weeks since, to the com-
plete satisfaction of those whis witnessed it. On
Wednesday last, at the recommendation of seve-
ral persons in Bolton and the neighbourhood, of
the highest respectability, he invited some of the
principal tradesmen and inhabitants of the town,
to meet him at Messrs. Crook and Dean's foun-
dry, Little Bolton ; where he demonstrated
the infallibility of his apparatus, to the utter
astonishment of a very respectable party of
gentlemen. In the course of the trial he went
into a stove-room, in which sulphur, hay, &c.
were burning at the same time. Ile was shut
in for the space of 20 minutes ; and came out at
the expiration of that time, perfectly sound and
uninjured. Had any one without the apparatus
remained in the room longer than a minute, it
would have been attended with certain death.—

COURT OF.KING'S BENCII.-7(Titis DDT.)

LINCOLN'S INN AND ST. ANDREW'S PARISI!.
COOKE V. BANKS.
This was a question whether Stone buildings,
in Lincoln's-Inn, was in the parish of Sairst
Andrew, Holborn, and liable to pay the paro
chial rates. The case was tried at the late
Sittings before Mr. Justice Littledale and a spe-
cial Jury, when a verdict was returned for the
defendant.
The ATTORNEY-GENERA I". moved to have that
verdict set aside, and a new rule granted. H,
observed, it was a case of very considerable im-
portance to all parties, as the Benches had not,
for a number of years, been called upon to pay
the rate, and they considered it was not within
the boundary of that parish, as they had
a church of their own, and contributed to it.
The Learned Attorney-General was heard in sup-
port of his argument at some length, when the
Court granted the rule.

Bow-STREET—(Tins DAY.)

DISOBEDIENCE OF OFFICERS.-ROW AT DRLTR V -

LANE, &c.
Sir RICHARD BIKNIE, on taking his seat this
morning expressed the utmost indignation in con-
sequence of having read in one of the Mornint;
Papers, that some of the Officers had entered the
Theatre contrary to the orders he had given them
on Monday night last. The Gentleman who
supplied the account, assured Sir RICHARD (who
had pronounced the Report to be a lie), that he
was in the Boxes on Monday night, and men-
tioned the names of several of the Officers who
were in the Theatre.

Sir RicnAan said, if he knew that such Wai
the case, not one of them should remain on the
Establishment any longer.
Several of the officers were questioned, and
they denied being in the audience part of the
Theatre, but was in the lobby.
Sir RicitAnn expressed his determination to
investigate the matter, and said he would use
every exertion to discover the officers who was
seen in the boxes, that dragged a young gentle-
man out of the boxes for expressing his disap-
probation.
