AthziNr

Great Rc0.4.!, Theatre.

LiuST night this celebrated Concert. -opened for
the Season, under the auspices of THE I R MAJ ESTI Es,
who honoured it with their presence, accompanied
by four of the PRINCESSES, and the usual Attend-
ants. Their Royal Highnesses the DUKES of KENT
and CAME RIDGE were also present, and took their
seat on the Diredors' Bench. The Earl of CHEST`
TERFIELD made the Selection.

This being THEIR MAJEsTIES' first appearance
at the Concert since the KING'S happy recovery,
the Royal P,:rty were greeted, on t?lcir entrance,
with the Coronation Antheni, " God Save the
King—May the King live for Ever." The WhOle
Company (consisting of the principal Nobility and
Gentry) standing up, evinced in their coun-
tenances the pleasure they enjoyed in the restora-
tion to health of a beloved SOVEREIGN, who reigns
in the hearts of his people) and the consequent hap-
piness it diffused through his amiable Family.
Though the performance lacked the wonderful
and delightful talents of Mrs. BiwribidN, yet
the rest of the Performers exerted themselves very
successfully to atone for the dis'appointrilent.—
With the books of the Concert, a paper was given,
intimating, that though Mrs. BILLINGTON was not
sufficiently recovered to perform this evening, no
doubt was entertained of her being able to sing at
the next Concert.

HARRISON, BARTIAMAisr, MELD, W. KiIi'VETT,
Miss TENNANT, and Miss CROSBY, were the prin-
cipal Singers ; GR E Aro R EX, the Organist and Con-
duElor ; and CRAMER the Leader of the Band.

HARRISON'S Expostulation arid Invocation (froth
Sernele), " 0 sleep ! why dost thou leave me," ri-
vetted the attention of his delighted auditors. He
never sang with more expression, interest, and ef-
fed ; and the Song was admirably aceompanietl on
the diapasons of the organ by Mr. GREATOREX.—
BARTLEMAN gave the favourite Air of " Nasce it
bOsco" with his usual animation, manly tones, and
just expression. NIELD, Odi grand 'Ombra,"
with HOLMES'S charming accompaniment on the
bassoon, added to the entertainment of the even-
ing. Miss TENNANT and MisS CROSBY are
young Singers of considerable promise :—they
exerted their talents very successfully ; the. for-
mer in " Softly sweet in Lydian measures," which
was well accompa'iied -by GRIESBACI-3 on the •
Viclencello ; and also ih the appropriate duet" 0
lovely Peace," with Miss CROSBY. The beautiftil
canzonet for three voices, " Soli Cupid," swig by
W. KNYVETT, HARR ISON, and BARTLEMAN, and
the Hymn " Adeste Fideles," by the same .Per_
formers and Miss TENNANT, Were also in.• this
seleEtion, and gave general satisfaetion:
The favourite instrumental pieces were the Fifth
Grand Concerto of HANDEL, and a COnterto by
GENI/NIANI. Mr. CRAMER distinguished him-
self in each, particularly in the last.
The great
.Chorusses " Immortal Lord," (from •
Deborah.) " Ye sons of Israel," (Joshua.) " Sing,
0 ye Heavens," (Belshaziar,) and " Hallelujah,"
from the Messiah, all the composition of the im-
mortal FLINDELi were performed with wonderful
effea, to the credit of the whole band.

Mrs. HARRISON, in consequence of bad health,
has resigned the distinguished situation she held in
this Orchestra for the last seven years, with the
highest credit to herself, and refleling honour on
the Profession.

'the immense Park of Artillery, colleted during
the War at Canterbury, is now removing from
thence to its original station, at WoolwiCh..

The Dutchess of Goa 'idler has been complimented
by a very elegant Poet of the clay, on being the
first who introduced dancing as a substitute for
gaming in fashionable routes. In such a dissipated
age as the present, it is not to be expefted that her
Grace should be able to produce an entire ret,oltiiion
in this respeft, in the world of ton, but she deserves
high praise as one of our chief fashionable
formers.
The Bdnel-itreet beaxx ate quite in astonishment
at the appearance which one of their brethren made
at a late fashionable route, as they had no idea that
he had any thing now to do with the Spanish.
A grand Ballet di Aaiun is preparing. at Covent_
Garden Theatre, under the direction of FAWCETT.
It is to be something in the style of his Obi and
Percale. The scene is to be laid in Poland. A few
Songs are expefted from Mr. Co LEMAN.
Wednesday se'nnight died at Chalk Farm, near
Farnborough, the youngest daughter of Gen.FLoY D,
of a scarlet fever and sore throat ; and yesterday
morning died Mrs. FLOYD, the child's mother, of
the same complaint, occasioned by her fondly nursing
it in her bosom, notwithstanding the expostulations
of het husband and friends. She expressed a wish to
have the disorder, and not survive the objeft of her
care. Its fate was humanely concealed, and her
affeaions were again engaged in nursing her son, a
fine boy of eight years old, ill of the same fever.
Two daughters were sent to the house of a
friend and relation, seemingly in perfeft health, but
one of them was brought home on Tuesday very ill ;
this circumstance also was concealed from the fond
mother. Some of the servants are ill, and the Ge-
neral himself, whose attendance has been unrethitted
day and night, has not entirely escaped.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BIRMINGHAM,
JAN. 30.
" The daring Footpads that have long infested
this neighbourhood, and especially the road be.
tween Walsall and this place, met with a reception
last night, which, if frequently repeated, would
put an end to robbery. These Footpads stopped a
Chaise yesterday evening, in which was Captain
ELLICE of the Light Dragoons—They immedi-
ately fired in at the window, but the shot provi-
dentially went through the Chaise, without doing
any injury. Captain ELLICE immediately fired at
the villain approaching the door, and from his cries
must have wounded him severely ; but this did not
deter the Footpads from both firing again, which
they did, and immediately made off across the
fields. Stria search is making after these Desp.
does, and it is reported, that the wounded man is
taken and brought into this place."
