,In ptirsuante of the notice given, a number of
Noblemen anti Gentlemen, proprietors and sub-
scribers to the King's Theatre, visited the Thatch-
ed House Tavern yesterday, between the hours
of one aeel two o'clock, in expedation of hav-
ing the Report of the Committee, laid before
them. The Committee, however, after having
most arduously and unremittingly attended to
the investigation with which they were intrust-
ed, weie unable to come forth with their final
report till half-past three o'clock; at which time
the greater number of the parties interested, de-
spairing of a report being made on the day ap=
'pointed, had retired from the place of meet-
ing. In consequence of this, when the Com-
mittee came to the room for holding the General
Meeting, it was judged expedient to postpone re-
ceiving the Report till a future day, when a more
numerous attendance Might be expected. Earl'
Gower being called to the Choir, it w-ai resolved,
" That the Report of the ComMittee should be taken
into consideration on Friday next, at two o'clock
precisely; rind :hat circular letters to the Subscri-
hers, Club Rooms, &c. should be sent, announcing
the'saind."—Previous to the breaking up of the
Meeting, a letter was presented from Mr. Taylor,
which was opened by the Noble Chairman, and be-
ing of immense length, the reacting ,vas also deferred
till Friday, and the Meeting adjourned.

THU THEATR B.—Ms. KEMBLE last night resum-
ed the par Out. .iiicha,d the 'third, at Covent-Gardt.n
Theatre, winch he had not performed for many
years. It should be mentioned to his., credit that
thOugh he had deservedly acquired a reputa-
tion in this character, finding it in the possesston,of
CO9KL, at Covent-Garden 'Theatre, he mod• stly As.s,
•utucd that of tachniond, which he since resigned
to his brother CI% tiLk.b. Mr. KENIBLF. was evi-
dently oppressed with a cold last. right; but he
sustained the part with much spirit, antt with ac-
curate discrimination. He was much , appladded,
but in the final contest wide Richmond was obvi-
ously nearly exhausted with fatiglie. Mr. C.
KEMBLE'S Richmond was, as usual, a spirited per-
forniame. A Mrs. K N
IV ETorty p- rformed the part:
of Lady, Anne, but in a very languid and unitripry!-
si%e manner.

B.lth seems at present to be somewhat overstocked
with musicians. Asns had undertaken to cooducl
the Concert lately under the manageinentot RAU?,
zitit, ynd had provided an-excellent orchestra, voc.il
and instrumental; and now the modest SArio •is
gone there,. to open a rival institution.

ROYAL ACADEMY.---Mr. TURNER gave his first
Ledure, since he has been 4pninted Professor of
Perspective' to th's Institution, last night, in the
Great Room, before the President, many of the
Members, and aconsiderable number of auditors,
naturally attracted by the -high' reputation or the
Prolesser. The Lecture itself was rather intro-
oeetory than technical, and principally tended to
strew ilia, the hither order of Historical Painters,
as welt 'as Architects and Sculptors, availed them-
salves of the prieei; les of Perspective iti their most
distinguished produo tons. He illustrated this posi-
tion with success, by a reference to the, print of
RAPHAEL'S celebrated Transfiguration, turd eei..
metrical thaw am 'on 'he s mote subjed. In course
of the Lecture Mr. TuriNen paid some high com-
pliments_ to the merits of Sir Josnua REYNoLD7e,
and ack,,owledged with gratitude, that he had been
in a great degree indebted to the, 'loyal Academy
for his professional reputation. The Lecture was
written throughout in a nervous and elegant style,
and was delivered with unatf!eted modesty.
THE ARTS...-*NOETHCOTE is very forward with
a fine whole length ot Lady JOHNSTON, el Hack-
ness, near Scarborough, widow of Sir WM. JOHN-
STON, Bart, of the Annandale family. This picture.,
is painted in the style of Sir Prerert LELY, and is
highly creditable to the artist, who is the only sur-
viving pupil of the immortal Sir Toseua -Rey-
rsoecis. Notts racore is also far 'adVaticrd in an
excellent,portrait of Mrsi-GEORGit WINDIiAM; relict
ot a relation of the late -Mr. WINDHAM, whose in-
tellectual powers will always be revered.'
MICHAEL SHARPE, who has deservedly gained a
high reputation for his small conversation pictures
in the Flemish costume, has nearly finished another
in this style, which is superior to his tormer pro-
ductions. The subject is the Grandfather teaching
a Child the letter O. The whole' is admirable in
point ortasie, Colouring, mechanical dexterity, and
expression.
