NOLD'S Pictures in thiS Place toOkplace lait night,
and was the final close, we understand, ,of this
manner of displaying them. prodigioUs num-
ber of the must distinguished persons now in the
metropolis were present) among wliom was Lords
UARDW/CRE,' CAP,IDEN, .MULGEAVE,.LIVERPOOL,
Sit WILLIAM SCOTT, Lady ELLENEOROUGII, Mr.
W. 'W. POLE; Mr. C. LONG, and a most inte:
resting
nussemblage of;
,beautiful females. Many
distinguished Artists were also among the Com-
pany. The visitor, however, who chiefly excited
curiosity, and interest was the eelebrateti
nu STAEL, who seemed highly to enjoy the
treasury of genius With whit.b she was sur-
rounded, and to be not a little gratified by
the marked attention and respect of the cOm-
pany, who Billowed her in all directions.--;.
The whole .was a rich classical repast, and con-
stittited a scene in which the productions of de;.,
parted genius, combined with living talents, and
the charm of elegance and beauty, gave an
quisite repast to sensibility and taste. But, to ae
honour of the British character, let it be Meti-
tioned, that as soon as the glorious thlifigs front'
thC. Peninsula„ reached the comp4my, first comma-
nicated by Mr. 13sattoW) of the AdMiralty, and
which immediately spread through the rooms like
wild-tire, all feelings seemed to be wholly ab-
bsorbed in patriotic exultation

rary talents and personal worth, been appoint-
. ed Chief .Clerk to the Admiralty Office, iit the •
room of TuomAs KITH, Esq. who retired on lie,-
count of ill health. It may truly be said of Kr.
PEARCE, that, froM long experience and'urbanity
of manners,. no person could be mire campetent
to. discharge the duties of the office with honour
to himself and satisfaction to the public.
Madame Da ti TAEL, when writi:ig her Me.
' moirs, being asked by a friend how she child give:-
a true picture, replied, " Oh, Ishall only make.*
bust of myself."7-Tbis celebrated Lady seems to
have funned a just estimate of out. Opposition
Talents, for she says, they are utterly ignolaint
of continental affairs ! When she has resided
little longer in England,she will discover that their
knowledge of politics at home is, equally t ittensiVe.
The use of Drury-lane Tlieatre, on Triesday
evening next, haS been granted fo! the benefit of
the British prisoners in France; and the perfOrm-
ers have volunteered their services gratuitousls
on the occasion. An overflowing house may be
expected to contribute to so excellent and so
beneficent a purpose.
A certain skipping Actress, who retired upon a
pension of 500 i. per annum, haS lately espoused
young Midshipman. Her si)ittikirit husband"
has returned to his friendS, at Birmingham.

that had been prescribed, and swallowed nearly
the whole before ..he discovered the mistake ; as-
sistance was immediately procured, and forte=
nalely the dangerous effects of-the laudanum were
counteracted in time by powerful antidotes.
