the reader of the synagogue. " The King," and one or two
other toasts, were then drank ; after which the children; both
male and female, of the charity, were introduced, the
boys carrying chairs, boots, and shoes, and other specimens
of their respective workmanship, in their hands. One of the
female children, a fine little girl, recited a poetic address in an
interesting manner; and with considerable effect; so much
so, that when the Duke of Sussex rose immediately afterwards
to address the company, his Royal Highness was so. much
overpowered by his feelings, that he burst into tears, and was

MADAME RONZI De BUGNis,The lovers of
music will be glad to learn, that this charming ornament of
the Italian Opera is now so much recovered from her indi.spo-
sn as to be likely soon to resume her public station. The
best character for her to perform „n her
re-appearance would,
in our opinion, be Elena, in La Donna del Lugo. That cha-
racter she performed so delightfully as to make it wholly her own.
In this part too she would now have the powerful support of
GARCIA, and therefore we trust that the interest of the Ma-
nager will induce him to attend to this hint.

-
FALSTAFF.—We did
on this character, and on the performers who have assumed it.
He stated that in his opinion HENDERSON and COOKE were

and he seemed to give
respect we differ from 3lr. T., and having seen both in the cha-
rtcter, we may venture to give our own opinion. HENDERSON
was not less acute than COOKE, and was much more facetious.
HENDERsoN laughed too much through the part, but his
laugh was always echoed by the audience, as was the case
with Mrs. JORDAN, whose laugh was irresistible, which
she knew, and therefore introduced as often as she could
find an opportunity. HENDEasox was indeed highly fa-
cetious, but his _Falstaff had more the appearance of a
humorous old woman than of the other sex. But it was
diverting in the highest degtee. COOKE appeared in Fal-
staff like a sarcastic Old Sharper, and gave no probability
to his boast of having associated with John of Gaunt, &c. &c.
He perfectly understood the text, but delivered it with surly
satire, rather than with the flowing hilarity of HENDERSON.
Mr. THELWALL gave Mr. STr.
—PREN KEMBLE credit for a
full conception of the character, but considered him as defec-
tive in humour. Of Mr. DowToN's Falstaff he gave a brief
yet favourable notice, but did not touch upon any other living
performers of the part.

The Green Park, which is rather a marshy
soil, is now being drained. This operation, when completed,
will be a vast improvement to that quarter. The iron railing
of the Duke of YORK'S enlarged garden ground being quite
finished, the whole now presents a pleasing view.
Among the improvements determined upon at
Charing-cross, there is to he a carriage-way through the pas-
sage which leads into the Park, in Spring Gardens.
CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.-At a meeting of the Associ-
ation, at Dublin, on Saturday, the petition adopted by the ag-
gregate meeting was finally agreed to, and it was resolved, that
Earl Grey, and Henry Brougham, Esq., should be respectfully
requested to present it to both Houses of Parliament.

RABBIT WITH SA LIE E.—Mr. BATTIER, who
lately belonged to the gaudy Regiment of Ca-
valry, called the 10th Hussars, during the period
he was placed in Coventry by that magnanimous
body, continued to dine, as usual, at the mess.
One day lie directed the servant to take his plate
to the Officer who was carving a dish of rabbits,
in order to be helped to some of them. The Officer,
instead of helping him in the ordinary way, placed
an entire rabbit on the plate, saying," The Tenth
never carves for Marchant's sons." This was only
said to the menial, theOjliccr dared not to say it to
Mr. BATTIER, who has since given the 10th Re-
giment a rabbit with sauce enough, God knows!
to help their digestion. Is it not a scandal that
holiday soldiers should be thus allowed to insult,
covertly, men who, in the field, or out of it, dis-
plays as much courage as they do themselves ?
