The form of this ancient remain is the shape of a double cube,
the usual form of the pedestal, or votive altar of the ancients.
It is three feet in height, and one foot six inches throughout
its cubical form. Lneullus was Lieutenant-General of Britain,
and contemporary with Agricola, the latter of whom he sue.
ceeded in the Governorship of this country, under the Roman
Emperor Dornitan, A.D. 86.
itabtaGATE Naw Ctturtpx,—A highly respectable and
numerous meeting of the town of Ramsgate was held yester-
day at the Town Hall, to consider the necessity of providing
additional church room for its large and increasing popula-
tion, but more particularly with reference to the wants of the
poorer classes. The resolutions passed without a dissentient
voice, that a new church should be built, and money bet.
rowed on the credit of the town rates, according to the power*
vested in parishes for this purpose by the recent enactment of
the Legislature. A subscription was immediately entered into,
and upwards 'of 1,1001. were contributed before the meeting had
separateil.—We hail with much satisfaction this auspicious
commencement of the good work, and doubt not that it will
meet on the part of the public with a co-operation commensu•
rate with the magnitude and importance of the undertaking.—
(KentiA Gawk, Chi. 24.)

TIIE THEATRES*

DnunT-Carta.---The School for Scandal was
performed last night at this Theatre, and the
only change in the representation, since our last
report, was the appearance of Mr. BROWN in the
part of Charles Surface. It is liberal in Mr.
ELLISTON, who is so animated a representative
of this character, t* give a new caudidate far
public favour an opportunity of displaying his
talents. Mr. BROWN has so attentively studied
the coxcomb.character that it is difficult for hit
at once to acquire the manly" ease and freedom of,
genteel comedy in general ; but if his deportment
was somewhat restrained, he evidently displayed a
just conception of the part. Sir Peter, Sir
Crabtree, &c. &c. could not but be effective in.
the hands of MONDEN, DOWTON, and TxuaY,
and the Comedy was well received. There are
some sound critical remarks on this Comedy in
The Time: of this day; but we think the Critic,
judicious as he is, mistaken in supposing that it !m-
-an immoral tendency altogether. The exception.
able passages are merely referred to the charac-
ters which utter them, and are not to he considered
as maxims for the conduct of life. The bad cha.
racters are brought to disgrace, and branded with
contempt, and the generous feelings and manly•
sentiments of the others form the general ten..
dency of the piece.
CovENT..GArtnEN.—Mr. YOUNG last night
assumed the part of The Stranger, in the Play
of that name.—lt is a part in which he hes beea
so often seen and admired, that no comment is
necessary. This part, however, has also barn
performed with ivelhmerited success by Mr. C.
KIZAIBLI; and we wish that the good old custom,
during the management of G Anarcx,were revived,
viz, that the chiercharacters should be occasionally
represented by the chief performers. Such a prac.
tice excites emulation, and tends to the improve.
merit of the Art. We therefore hope to see Mr,
You.vo and Mr. C. KRAIGLE alternately appear
in characters suitable to their respective talents.
Miss LACY was the Mrs. Haller, and her repre-
sentation of this affecting character was marked
by feeling and judgment throughout. In some
of the passages • she excited deep interest, ge•
floral sympathy, and well dieserved applause.
Mr. ItarNett aesin displayed his power of rustic
pathos in the A.fterpiece of The Miller': Maid.
