Music.—Mr. NEWTON, last night afforded a
high gratification to a numerous body of his
friends, at his house in Argyll-street. The en-
tertainment, if it can be styled by so humble a
name, consisted of the Oratorio of CREATION,
the most sublime work of its celebrated composer
HAYDN. This grand composition was divided
into three parts. There was a select and res-
pectable band of Instrumental Performers.
Messrs. KILLNER, LYON, ROBERTS, MULLINE
and Mr. NEWTON, with Miss PATON, Miss
WOOD, and Miss RounuTs, formed the vocal
department. Miss ROBERTS is not a profes-
sional Performer, but possesses talents which
others se would soon raise her into fiublic favour.
The whole of the Oratorio was supported with
correctness and powerful effect. Between the
acts, refreshments were plentifully provided, and
the whole concluded with an elegant cold colla-
tion. Mr. NEWTON'S Picture Gallery afforded
much pleasure to the company during the inter-
vals, and that pleasure was much heightened by
the assiduous attention of the liberal host and
his sister.

The whole-length Portrait cf His MAJI.STY,
painted by Sir TitomAs LAWRENCE, for his Holi-
ness the POPE, has been sent to the venerabi?
Pontiff, and in every point of graphic exce:lence
it will stand a comparison with the most cele-
brated works of the old Masters.

SWINDLING.—A person calling himself Capt.
GRANT, the master of a ship, lately committed
several frauds upon various tradesmen in the fol-
lowing manner :--A fter ordering a certain quan-
tity of goods to he packed,read y to he sent on board
his vessel at any time he may send his men for
them, he requests the vender to meet him on the
Exchange, with the difference of a MI. or 20. f.
note, according to the amount of goods ordered,
always taking care to have 61. or 71. to receive.
On the attendance of the parties, he proceeds up
stairs with them to the Captain's room, at
Lloyd's, and requests them to give him the change
and wait in the passage while he goes in for the note.
While the poor dupe is thus waiting his return,
he proceeds out at the other door, and has hither-
to got clear off with his ill-gotten booty. One
poor tradesman who was lately so defrauded bad
employed extra men to complete the " Captain's"
order, and had even borrowed the change which
he had requested might be brought with the
receipt.
