Ser.ies.l

ner,say " Gregory Osborne Page Turner."

!lIORAT. FuNo.—The annual Concert for the
benefit of this laudable Institution took place
last night in the. English Opera House. The
Performers in general, with-their usual
came forward and zealously exerted themselves
on the occasion. The House was very well at-
tended, as might be expected from the powerful
assemblage of talents, vocal and instrumental, an-
nounced in support of this benevolent Concert. We
have only room to add that the musical selections
were chiefly from lI4NnEL, and that altogether
they received ample justice from the elforts of
BRAUASI, BELLAMY, SAPSO, TER RAIL, Mrs. SAL.
MON, MISS M. TREE, Mrs. Varnis, Miss PovEy,
MII4 AUSTIN, PLACE', CURIONI, and Miss PATON.
Among the chief instrumental performers were,
LINDLEY, Moat, Miss SIIARP, and Pie ClAN-
cnirriNr. The Orchestra was of course well
conducted by GREATOREX, and admirably led by
F. CRAMER. It is but justice to give the names
'of those who thus came gratuitously forward in
.the cause of humanity.
ALSATIA.—As this word is introduced in the new
play of Nigeli be theCrownJewels,and cannot be ge-
nerally intelligible to the publiclwe have extracted
the following explanation of it from the glossary
lately published hy. Archdeacon NAttus, a work.
which appears to us to be the best illustration of
the words, phrases, names, customs, &c. &c. of
S.DAK.:PE:IIU: and his contemporaries that has ever
appeared., " Alsatia ; a joculur name for a phrt
of the City of London, near Fleet-street, properly
called the Ifrhite Friars, from a Convent of Car-
melites, formerly there situated." "In the year
1608" says an account of London, " the inhabi-
tants (of this district) obtained several liberties,
privileges, and exemptions, by a Charter granted
them by King
JAMES I. and this rendered the
place an asylum for insolvent debtors, cheats, and
;
gamesters, who gave to this district the name of
..11salla: but the inconvenience suffered by Om',
City from this place of refmr,ei at length Caused it
to be suppressed by law. SUADWELIA Comedy
of The Squire of Alsatia alludes to this place ;
and it is mentioned also by STEEL], where he
says that two of his supposed Dogs (i.e. Gamblers
or Sharpers) 46 are said to be whelped in
now in ruins ; but they," he adds, 64 with the
rest of the pack, are as pernicious us if the Old
Kennel had never been broken down."—(TATLEtt,
'N0.66. near the end.)
The new Tragedy which is announced for re.
heursal in the bill of Covent-Garden Theatre,
was read in the Greenroom the first time on
Saturday last, by Mr. TALroan, the Barrister.
It is called The Two Poscari, and is founded on
the, well-known historical event upon which
Lord BYRON lately constructed a Tragic Drama
bearing the same title. The new Tragedy, how.
ever, is in no wise borrowed froinhiSLordship'sibia
is solely front the pen of a Miss MITFORD, a Lady
already not unkown' to fame as the authoress of
seine spirited poems. Her friend, Mr.TAL row?,
we believe, has kindly undertaken to attend the
rehearsals of the piece,..and the other prepara-
tions for its represent:l66u; and if we may judge
from the terms in which we have beard its poe•
tical and even dramatic merits mentioned, that
gentleman will have no reason to blush for the
charge which has devolved to him. The present
cast of characters includes Mr. KEMBLE,ZIS Fran-
cesco Foscari ; Mr. MAcauany, us the Doke;
'Mr. BENNETT (who, by the way, is permanently
engaged at Covent-garden), as Cosmo, the friend
of Francesco; and Mr. YATES, as the principal
conspirator; besides Miss F, 11. KELLY and
Miss FOOTE. The general style of the compost_
lion is said to be both nervous and figurative.—
( Morning Chronicle.)
1110 MASTER of the Reim, we regret to hear,
is seriously indisposed. In the .event of his re-
tiring, Mr. Ilicumunos is spoken of as his suc-
cessor.

Fit A CAS.—At a late Subscription Bell in ,the
neighbourhood of the Metropolis, we regret to
state, the harmony of the evening was threatened
to have been disturbed by some juvenile Tom
and Jere, who, making a separateparty to waltz
in opposition to the inclination of the majority of
the company, were universally reprobated, and
even hissed down. Many cards were exchanged,
and torn up'; and, as the contending parties were
very young, and URColloolilable by their attendant
parents, a little display of the fancy was exhibited).
but soon extinguished.—(lliorning Post)
