kind where,, for the improvement of Science, the
President,i6 bound to produce a Canon, as the first
piece to bd-sung after dinner, instead of Nov Nob*i
Doniine. Mr. W 8 Btl L•'s specimen of learning ail
ingenuity on this occasion, was ,a Canon of the
same.constru6iou with that of Britnl6,- and beam
" drcet Itymrfur, Deus in Sieu." It was sun;
by three different parties, each gradually joining at
the repeats ; which arrangement produced a great
el:Fe& of crescendo, and called for an thianinitsus
encore. It was followed by a five voice Glee,
" not offate," in the Authot'S best style.
The• spirited conclusion was worthy Of him wha
composed " rhe mighty Conqueror.'"
Messis. HARRISON, Gasistoa.ux; and Wtsfiti,
then sang "Mi dicone le &micelle," an Italian trans-
lation. of ANACREON'S celebrated Ode, " To the
the wanton girls."
The .subsequent Glees of "0 place me," " Cupid's
Bird-call," and " Let busy C.'oninserces" were
highly admired, both by the Members and the eight
Friends of 'the President, who were admitted as
visitors.

But the cheetful union of health and iAriti in
Mr. W El:se, who has been lately afflided with a
severe indisposition, gave real pleasure to the
whole party : for in the words of his Own celebrated
Glee, which thirty years ago bore testimony to his
future excellence ; although " the varied meads ant
winding woods" were obscured by the power of the
frost, yetiin respett of the social meeting, of

THE TM/ATM—The Comedy of The Jew,
was represented On. Saturday night ,at Drury,-Lane
Theatre; instead of The Merry Wives of Withor,
which was deferred on account of the illness of
PA.LISIER and Miss
_POPE. Sherva is one of BA/4e
NISTEIeg best efforts, out of that lively province
for which his powers arc best adapted, and he has
the merit of having formed the: model of aping the
Saving, yet benevolent. Israelite, which all subse.
quent representatives of the pan have copied, The
rest of the charaPers, though not supported with
the ability of the original Performers, are, how.
ever, so well tided upon the whole, that the Co.
medy went off with.tolerable 6114.

The Opera of Family Qvarrsh was very attrae.
tive again on Saturday last, at Covent Gorden
Theatre.

The new Performer who is forthcoming at Drury.
Lane Theatre in. the charaaer of Richard she Third,
is a son of FEARO X, a respedlable Atior who died
several years ago, and who belonged to the Covent.
Garden Company. , The young adventurer belongs
to the sea, but prefers the ihratric trim-hem to
the trident.

A frisirder cm:shied nuttve Years aso.—The
Following singular circumstance has occurredat Deal,
in Kent, within these few days. A person who has
kept a public-house in the neighbourhood of Deal
with much respeftability for some years, was dis..
plating with another person in Deal ; high words
arose, and a soldier belonging to the regiment in
barracks there, came up and inquired what-vas the
matter. Alter the altercation had subsided, the
soldier said to the publican, that he was ante he
was a Lincolnshire man by his voice and dialect ;
the publican said he Was, but that he had not been
there for some yeara; The soldier soon after called
on one of the Magistrates of. Deal, and informed
him, that a murder was committed about twelve
years ago in Lincolnshire, by three men ; that two
were taken and executed, hitt that the third,
though 'frequently advertised for,- was never found,
and that he strongly suspected the publican was
the man, The Magistrate sent a statement.of the
eireumstance, and a description of the, publican's
person to the place where the murder was stated to
have been committed, arid received for answer, that
the statement' Made by the Soldier was correa, and
that the description of the publican answered, in
a great measure, that Odle...murderer who' had made
his escape, buts that if it was the same person,
he had a gunshot wound in' one of his legs. The
riblican was taken up, and on his legs being inspect..
ed by a surgeon, he pronounced that a wound ap-
pearing On one of the legs was a gun-shot wound,
in consequence of which the Publican has been coin-
rni t tea to Deal gaol, in order to be sent to the County
where the murder was commirrei. t 'Arr. 11;. .
