THE ORATORIOS.

DitußY-LANE.—Lo-nt night this Theatre was at
last opened for Oratorios, with the sacred one of
Redemption.. Tile Vocal Band 'was strong in t.
lentS, it consisting of Madame :v.I.NR A Mrs.
MOUNTAIN, Mrs. BLAND, NrEr.D, DIGNurCt,
Young SUE TT, and Mr. T., WELsii. Several of
the Vocal Parts were very finely sustained—Madame
MARA, if nor equal to what she was in power, was
deiightfui in expression. • Pious -Orgies was most
rapturously encored. Mrs. MOUNTAIN and Mrs.
BLAND acquitted themselves with their wonted
sweetness and ability.
'The Band was very well led by Mr. SHAw, and
when we mention that the whole was conducted by
Dr. ARNOLD, it will readily be admitted that the
performance was altogether very good. The house
was a very respeaable one. The Orchestra, raised
upon the Stage, of Gothic structure, had a grand
and magnificent cfrea.

COVENT- GARDEN. - The Entertainment here
consisted of a Grand Selection, the first part of
which comprized the first part of Creation, by
HAYDN. In the second Part BRAH AM was loudly.
encored in Gentle which he gave in a most
superlative style. Mrs. BI LL NGTON enraptured
her auditors in Mad Bess. The whole of the
Entertainment afforded a rich treat to a very full
and genteel audience.

TH E ARTS.—Mr. KE R PORTER is employed
upon a representation of the memorable triumph of
the British arms at Alexandria: The picture is to
be upon a very large scale, and, as far as it has
proceeded, is likely to rise to the dignity 'of the
subjea, and consequently to add very. much to the
fame of the ingenious Artist.

HEATH has—nearly finished two beautiful prints
of Mrs. JORDAN and the younger BANNISTER, to
match with his admixed engravings of 1.K.-ENIBLE
and Mrs. SIDDONS.

SALOMON'S first Concert was on Monday. The
treat was a very high one to the Musical Amateurs.
MARA, VIGANONI, and BRAHAM, severally dis-
played all their fine powers, and some Foreigners,
in the instrumental line, were, for the first time,
introduced to a British audience. The Company
were of the first fashion, among whom were their
Royal Highnesses the Prince of WALES aid Duke
Of CAMBRIDGE, besides several of the first Nobi.
lity and persons of Fashion. •
The new Ballet at Covent-Garden Theatre had
received some improvement, by judicious curtail-
ments, on its second representation, which made it
go off with great applause. The Iron Cage, and
the Dance at the end of the first part, were pro-
perly omitted. The splendour, and, at the same

. _ ....._
time, corredness of the Scenery, are subjed3 of
great admiration ; and the Music is in many re-
speEh entitled to praise. It is the joint composi-
tion of DAVY and MOLINTA T.N. MC latter, we
believe, comes before the Public for the first time
as a Composer, and he has acquitted himself very
much to the credit of his taste and talents.

A translation, in French verse, of some fragments
of OSSIAN was published a few days ago at Paris.
The 'translator is Citizen TALLLAsoN, who is al-
lowed by the French Journalists to possess consi-
derable merit both as a Poet and a Painter.

There has lately been dug pp, in the vicinity of
Ostia, near Rollie, an ancient statue of AcHILL,
about 92 Roman palms lugh, and in perfett preser-
vation.

The following melancholy affair happened at Ro-
chester on Monday se'imight.—A young Gentle-
man, son of Mr. 54****, of Woolwich, decamped
from his' father a day or two before with 'a consider-
able sum of money, in company with a female, and
slept at the King's Head Inn on Sunday night ; his
father, with a friend, arrived early in the morning,
and finding his son was in bed, sent his friend to the
room door for admittance, during which the son
hearing his father's voice on the stairs, immediately
took a pistol from his trunk, and discharged its
contents just below his temple. Mr. Adams was
immediately sent for who extraaed the ball, but
with little hopes of his recovery ; he lingered .front
six o'clock in the morning till two in the afternoon,
when he expired. The Jury sat otthis bOdy,ani
after a lone consultation, returned a verdid—Lu.

WE feel great s.uilattlion in every opportunity
of doing justice to this 'merircrious Cotps.
ProccedingS of a Court It/I:rti.al held in
the West Indies, add another to the many proofs
given bo7h in the course of the late and former Warr
of the steady loyalty and useful services of that
cellent Corps.

A catastrophe of the most shocking nature lately
took place at Marseilles. M. DURANDE, ahandsome
and accomplished Atiress, was strongly attached to a
young man. Jealousy, on the part of the Lover, occa-
sioned a misunderstanding, and for a while they seem.
cd totally to have forgotterfeach other.. Projefts of
vengeance, of which the lady Was wholly ignorant,
once more brought diem togedier. She had played on
the forenoon of. Shrove Tuesday in the Piece
called Le Nouveau-- Debnrque. In the evening
she went to a -Ball with her Lover, and next.
morning they took a, walk. They continued alone
the whole of the day, unobserved •by any indivi-
dual. On the evening of Wednesday, Mad. Du-
RANDE was to appear for the first time in L'Enfant
du Malheur. , Two Pieces were played, and the
interval proving longer than usual, the audience be-
came impatient. The Manager sent a person to
Madame DURANDE'S lodgings, to learn the cause
of the delay. No one was found at home. The
'messenger flew to the residence of the Lover : he
perceived blood at the door of his chamber, and im-
mediately apprized a' Magistrate of the circum-
stance. The door was forced open, when they
found the lady lying lifeless on the floor, and the
_wretched Lover covered with blood, and struggling
amid the pangs of dissolution. His last words in-
formed-them that the lady was the vilim of his ven-
geance, and that he had deterinined not to survive
her.
