-THE THEATRE.-The affecting drama of The
Gamester was represented again last night at Co-
vent-garden Theatre, and Miss O'NEILL, as be-
fore, gave a very interesting support to the he-
roine of the piece. Her,chief excellence was dis-
played in the expression of tenderness and the
bursts of agony. If she t'vas not equally success-
ful in towering dignity and lofty indignation on
the attempts of StukelyL4 shotkid he considered
that Nature has fitted her principally for die:sim-
ple and pathetic. We did not on her first perform-
ance tit this part approve of bet histErical
sion of the part, and -we were not mare- satisfied.
with it last night. It is too violent and too much
protracted. Silent and untitterable anguish would
be more appropriate to the character and the si-
tuation. YOUNG resumed his nation; and gave a
very affecting portrait of Beverley; and Teruo('
was more easy, and, effective in Stakety. The
house was crowded. -

SOUTH LOtRE nUntetous Meeting
took place yesterday, for the„double purpose of
considering of the propriety of petitioning ParliaL
meat againSt the prolongation of the Perty
Tax, and for appointing Commissioners for pav-
ing the Borough of Southwark.• As the first of
these objects was the most interesting and impor-
tant; the attention of the Meeting was chiefly di-
rected to that point. After several Gentlemen
had animadverted- on the oppressive-nature of tht
Tax, employing most of the argunients generally
employed on•the subject, and particularly on the
hardship which the public suffered in having their
money taken in'an.arbitraty-,manner, without...the
privilege of a fair appeal, the Resolutions pro-
posed, and the Petition were agreed to unani-
mously ; the latter Was. ordered to be signed by
the High Bailiff, and to be left for the signature,
of the inhabitants' in general.
- SCHIOOLMASTER'S 'SOCIETY .—There was yester-
day a very numerous Meeting, at the Crown and
Anchor, of Patrons of this trtdy laudable Society,
the purport of which is to • make a provision for
those Schoolmasters n'to, haying employed the
greater part of their time in training youth to
..learning and virtue, arc •not•possessed of decent
means of support in the winter of life.- The Duke
of KENT presided at the dinner, and was support-
ed on the right hand by the Bishop of,.Cattr4slE,
whcrhad formerly been a preceptor of youth, and
-who, on being alluded to in a very complimentary
manner on that accOunt, expressed the pleasure
which he felt on thexecollection.—" The KING"
was drank in reverential silence, and other loyal and
patriotic toasts followed: The Duke of KENT
gave a gratifying account of the Funds of the
Society,. and expressed' a hope that, by their in-
creasing success, assistance might be extended, to
the widows and childrein '-of Schoolmasters and
USherS. Their-hole was a moral.; as
welt as a so.
dal festival,' and the day passed off ,with good int-
inour, heightened by a cor\scioustieis of the noble
purpose of time meeting.
Now the cold weather has set in pretty severely.
it appears rather odd to hear -of a hot press on the
Thames ! ,
