ENGLISH OpinA-W6usE.

Mr. Mathews was HOMO last night for the last time this
season, but owing to the wetness of the weather, his Invitations
were not very generally accepted. We saw him on the first night
when he brought forward this new entertainment, and in the in
fervid we have not had the opportunity of witnessing his per-
formance. As we could not easily forget what we bad seen, it
was some amusement to compare the several additions, alterations
and improvements, he lees introduced in the course of his re-
peated 'representations. lie has had the means of practically
ascertaining; the effect and value of different jokt,'* and traits of
character, and has, of Cot!Mc., accommodated himself to the pub-

lie taste. What Sir R. Howard says of wit, in ono of his Pro-
" Wit's not like money : money, though paid in,
Pro-
logues, is true, of that species to which he alludes:—
Passes about, and is received again;
tits current
'ceb elnpaid before,
then no more."
IliuhterNeviitt, livittettienitalsas
:_
This observation is, however, by no means applicable to the sort
of wit in which Mathews deals, which is not only made current
by him for three or four months, but hats, generally speaking,
been long current among all classes. It mast be some autism of
entertaimucut to him, to mark the various effects ou various au-
dient:es, of the saute stories and incidents. Ile went through his
part (which part was the whole) with undiminished spirit ; and
all who heard hint, laughed heartily. Grammarians tall us (wit-
ness Dr. Lowth) that "speech is. the only faculty peculiar to than;"
but he forgot laughter, with which, indeed, grammarians have
usually very little to do. In this particular the hyena is the only
animal that
encroaches on matt's prerogative, and there ore other
not to be ranted resemblance.
4. At the end of the third portion
Mathews came forward, and very briefly returned thanks: the
speech would serve almost for the posy
of a ring..-.." Ladies and
Gentlemen—The same feeling must be expressed iii the nine
terms : that feeling I have often experienced.those words 1 have
often
employed. I will not now repeat the latter, though I most
always be sensible of the former. sly lasting gratitude is due for
all past and present favour. You may value me, but I cannot
value them too highly." flte curtain fell amid, general and
hearty applatusee.

THE NEW LONDON-BRIDGE.

The outside stones are of Aberdeen granite, apparently
about the size of those in the piers of Waterloo-britkr.
A great many houses have been taken down on til,e,
South side of the river, and two arches of the 011
bridge, opposite to the first pier, are nearly demolished'
for the purpose of affording a free passage to boats
and other small craft, when the large middle arch oft
the old bridge shall he blocked up by the works .about
to be erected opposite to it. These two arches, which
are are to be fornied into one, are covered over with wroaow
and paved like the rest of the bridge. It *is prokel&t
if the works go on as:at present, that two of the
arches will be far advanced, and the rest commando' by'
Christmas. We have only two faults to'find with this;.
bridge. Instead of a beautiful balustrade, like that 6,
Waterloo-bridge, there is to be a dead wall on each
; this we think a' great 'defect. Fishmonger's

gument to that effect had been advanced: There was a prece-
dent for the measure—Mr. Arnott had 1,500 awarded him for
losses sustained by shipwreck. The resolution, he hoped,
would have a favourable result ; it was so worded that no re-
'llection whatever was cast upon the Indian Government,
'A short discussion was now entered into, respecting thajime
when tile resolution should. be ballotted for, seven Proprietors
having answered to their names,&mandirig a baloti•and it., was
ultimately fixed that on Tuesday, the 11th inst. it should be
brought forward.
Previous to the Court adjourning, Colonel 1.. STANHOPE
said, he wished to know whether a letter, which he held in his
hand, and which appeared to be a circular, calling upon him to
vote for certain Directors, on Monday, the 10th inst. was a
hoax or a genuine letter ?
The CHAIRMAN said, that it was a letter which, if the gal-
lant Colonel pleased, he might put into the fire, if he did not
chooSe to attend to its contents.—The Court adjourned at Four

IMPOSTURE I*MASICED,

THE progress of Merit, niti;ougii frequently
assailed, is not impeded by Envy and Detraction.
The aggression of annitantr terminates in defeat; and con.
melons rectitude ultimately triumphs in the attainment of the
te Wre 'Aexllittsti'
not
grand object—public approbation. The test of experience is
the guarantee of favour, and •has establishedwhicht
BLACKING in general estimation;
a stronger proof than the tacit acknowledgment of a host of
servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary
a spurious preparation as the genuine article, to the great
disappointment of the unguarded purchaser, and manifest In.
jury of WARREN, whose character and interest. by this
Animus system are equally subject to detriment. It becomes
therefore an indispensable duty to CAUTION the PUBLIC
against the manteuvres.of Unprincipled Venders, who !taring
no character to lose, and stimulated by avarice, in their or.
farious pursuits, aim at the acquisition' of money through
any medium than that of honour ! The original and match-
less' BLACKING bears ou each bottle a short direction, with
the signature

ROBERT WARREN,
All others are counterfeits: and in many instances the ins-
position labels are artfully interlined with a different address.
in very small characters, between the inure conspicuous ones
of " No, so," and "STRAND." it is earnestly recom-
mended to Shopkeepers and others who are deceived by base
fabrications of WARREN'S BLACKING to return the de-
tected trash to the soUrce whence it camlr, and expose the
machinations of rascality to merited obloquy.
WARREN'S BLACKING is surpassingly brilliant; it ex-
oludes dump; gives pliancy to the leather; retains its pris-

ROYAL SOCIETY, TintspAY, JUNE I.
At the Meeting this evening a paper was read by
the Rev. Baden Powell, M. A. Fit. S. containing;
an account of some experiments relative to the ques-
tion of the transmission of radiant heat, through glass
screens. This was supplemental to the author's
trier researches, which were printed in the "Philoso-
phical Tramadions " for 1825. As the two com-
munications are closely connected, we shall reserve
our account of the present paper till a future occasion,

a full participation in all the rights of British subjects. Every
principle or practice hostile, in the remotest degree, to those instits-
tions, we most explicitly disclaim,. Year after year we repeat the
humiliating task of disavowal, still we suffer the penalties of guilt.
We ask you is this to endure for ever? Arc we always to remain
the victims of misplaced suspicion ? The doors of the Constitution
are shut against us, as long as we continue true to the dictates of our

VIRTUE.

From that elegant little work entitled the Sabhath Muse.)

say where is virtue bred !
'Tis not in courts or camps, the seats of fame,
Nor in the crowd where folly still is first,
Nor is it pinned to fashion's changing sleeve,
Where every colour takee its turn to shine ;
Nor will its manly tone be echoed there
Where languid beaux address exhausted belles
In words that faint, and thoughts that will not form
No ; 'tie in bumble and in troubled scenes
The hopeful nurseling thrives. Adversity
Knows best to rear it: like the oak, it grows
Against the storm ; and, Al the dawn awoke
In &limp, and creation from the fogs
of duos burst in glory,--oftener climbs
Through cloud and tempest to the hills of light
Than by the side of ease in safety strolls
O'er the wide campaign where the sun is free.
Not even the poor reward of being known
And loved awaits sweet virtue, seldom praised.
We've seen how evils cross her rugged path;
But her chief foe is that with forked tongue,
The demon Slander. Other wrongs may cut,
And deeply too but this assassinates.
'Tis poison mixed with sound,--ltis murder aimed
At virtue'. being,—.'tis a thievish lie
That steals from worth and gives to envy,--lis
A foul abuse of breath, and lungs, and thought,
And °ars, and hearts,
and every organ used
To strike or to imbibe the cursed stain ;

It

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

IIA.TTON-GARDEN. —( Tuts nay.)
Geoss Assauer.—A respectable-looking Man, named Hwy
Hastings, was charged by Mrs. Barnes with a gross assault, un-
der the following circumstances:— •
The protecturix stated, that she was passing along Holborn
yesterday evening with her husband, who -had only left her arm
tin a moment, when she was met by the prisoner. He had a
brace of birds in one bawl, and, with the other, he caught hold
of her in a very indecent marmer. She of course resented this
unprovoked insult, and immediately received a violent kick from
the prisoner, which laid her prostrate in the chach road, where she
was nearly run over by a cabriolet. Her husband came up at the
time, and collared the fellow, but was instantly knocked down ;
,nut it was not until the arrival of a watchman that he was
eventually secured. During the whole of this time his language
was of a most gross description.
Two witnesses besides her husband corrobnrated this statement,
awl the watchman spike to his outrageous behaviour, when taken.
Mr. Sergeant Seeeon said, that he never heard a mere gross
case in his life; it was characterised alike by uuntanlinesii, bru-
tality, and cowardice ; and unless he could arrange the matter to
the satisfaction of the prosecutrix and her huitand,, ha should or-
der him to give 24 bourn' notice of bail. lIE wee then locked up

In reply to that communication, you did me the.honour
to acquaint me, that the President had decided upon refer—
ring the whole subject to Congiress, whereby it became rte.:
cessary for you to postpone giving a definitive answer to my
proposal.
This resolution of the President was, at the commencement

subject has been under the consideration of Congress. You
will therefore, I trust, Sir, allow me now to request to be made
acquainted with the definitive intention of thy President, with
respect to the proposition submitted by me on behalf of his

'MR. ADDINOTON TO MR. C A itio.

- -
Wgshington, 9th of April, 1825.
haie the honotir to atknowledge the receipt of your
letter of the 6th inst., in which you announce to inc the .defini-
tive decision of the President with regard to the convention
for the more effectual suppression of the slave trade, which I
had the honour to submit for the acceptance of this Govern-
ment, on thalth of November. last.-
In expressing my regret at .the failure of the benevolent
efforts which have been employed in a cattle's° dear to hums-
nity, I may venture to assure you, that, however deeply his
Majesty's Goiernment may deplore the present disappoint-
ment 'of their hopes, they will consider the unfortunate issue
of this business as in no wise affecting the friendly feelings
which. exist between the two' Governments, and will accept,
with pleasure, the expression of the President's desire, that
every exertion should still be used for effecting the entire ex-
tirpation of that odious traffic which the convention was de-
' signed to suppress.
I cannot dismiss this subject without a brief observation on
that part of your letter in which you animadvert upon the ar-
gument employed in mine of the 6th of November last, rela-
tive to the act passed by the British Parliament for denouncing
the slave trade as piracy. The expressions used by you would
lead to a belief, that 1 had represented the passage of the
adt, on the part of Great Britain, as rendering it imperative
on the American Government to accede to the convention,
even at the expellee of a sacrifice of their constitutional pre-
rogatives.
A reference to the expressions of my letter will, I apprehend,
at once demonstrate the erroneousness of this impression, by
showing that 1 put the case as a point of conscience, not one of
right, and that I urged thear.ument above alluded to in the
form of an appeal, but of a &mud.
The denunciation of the slave-trade as piracy, by British
statttte, was Made by the thivernment a sine quo non to the
signature of the convention. As far as Great Britain was con.
cerned, that proceeding, although perfectly conformable to the
views of Parliament, quoad morality, was one of pure supere-
rogation, and conferred no .power towards ,the suppression of
the slave-trade not possessed before. lied the Government of
the United States not expresSly desired the enactment of that
statute, it would never have been passed ; but, being. passed,
its revocation, although certainly within the competence of par-
liament, is now, by the interposition of subsequent events, ren-
dered tantamount to morally impracticable.
These circumstance will, I aprehend, amply justify both
I the form of the argument which built upon them, and the
warmth with which 1 urged it.
I offer the preceding remarks; not by any means with a
View to invite to forther discussion, but simply in order to ob-
viate all misconstruction of the meaning of words already em-
ployed by me. .
1 have the honour, Sir, to renew to you the assurance of my
distinguished consideration.. . 11. U. ADDINGTON.
