ROYAL ACADEMY—OD Saturday the 10th inst.
a General Assembly of the Academicians was held
at the apartments of the Royal Academy, in So.
mersetliouse when Mr. EDWARD
LEA, Sculptor, was elected an Academician of
that Institution, in the room of BENJAMIN WL:sT
Esq. the late President. ,
• Mr. FUSELI last evening gave to the Students
and a large auditory of visitants, at tile Royal
Academy, the last of his Course of Lectures on
Painting for the season. At the conclusion the
Professor was loudly and generally appla-uded-
Mrs. FITZHERDERT has fitted up a beautiful
little theatre in her marine residence on the
Steyne at Brighton, and after the performance
gives a ball and supper. The pieces performed on
Thursday evening last,. were Raising the Mild,
and Who's the Dupe, personated by amateurs,
amongst which Lord NortiKANny, Lord A.HILL,
and Miss SEYMOUR sustained the principal parts
with much spirit and propriety-
it is said that Me Comedy of The FUgitive,
written by the late.JosErn•RicniansoN, Esq.,
M. P., and one of the former Proprietors of
Drury-lune Theatre, is soon to he revived at that
Theatre. This Comedy is written in the goad
old style, comprising a mixture of the humorous,
the sentimental, and, in some degree, the pathetic.
The play was brought forward with such strength.
in the cast'of characters as to give full scope to
its intrinsic, merits. KING, DODD, BENSLEY,
PALMER, PARSONS, the present Countess of
DERE r, and Mrs. JORDAN, assisted in the repre-
sentation, and Mr. KEMBLE also, during the ill-
ness of KING. The Prologue was written by
the late Mr. Ticx.ELL, and the Epilogue by the
late General ButtGoYNE. The piece excited a
great interest in the fashionable and political
circles at the time, and was supported by both
parties ; for, though the author attached himself
to Opposition, " well-natured RICUARDSON," as
he is styled in The Anti-Jacobin Examiner, was
generally esteemed for the mildness and benig-
nity of his disposition, as well as admired for his
literary powers and classical attainments. The
Fugitive was a favourite Comedy of our late ex-
cellent KING; and Drury-lane Theatre can at pre-
sent boast of talents well calculated to revive it
with due effect, and perhaps to procure the pa-
tronage of our present MONAIICII, who treated the
author with condescending kindness, and who
on all occasions. seems disposed to follow the
footsteps of his Venerable Sire.

Miss FOOTE has, we understand, retired from
the stage. Her personal beauty,.and her graceful
and interestine, style of acting several characters,
both light aaserious, will make her retirement
matter_ of public regret.—(Morning lieraU)
It is said that the intended reductions in the
army will be to the 80th regiment. There are
now 93 regiments of foot, besides the rifle bri-
o-ode and nine veteran battalions. It is also said
that two _companies. from each remaining regi-.
ment will be reduced. .
tooniNArty SUIEIOE.—The Independent
of the Two Sicilies mentions, that a Ft enchrnan,
in the Oriental costume, presented himself' at
the hermitage of St. Saviour, announcing to the
hermit that he wished to pass a few days un-
der hiS hospitable roof. On the day after
his arrival he requested the hermit to accom-
pany him to the crater of Vesuvius, and as soon as
they had reached it the stranger precipitated
himself into the abyss formed by the insa-
tiable volcano. The hermit, on his return, hav-
ing inspected the register in which the visitors
usually inserted their names, found a memoran-
dum of the unfortunate traveller, in which
.he
avowed his intentio❑ of terminating his e7;istence.
The note is signed " Louis CAUTRF, of Nantes,".
