ROYAL SOCIETY.--I have observed with e-
gret, on occasion of the present vacancy in the office of
President of the Royal Society, a tendency to consider it a
political
,question by sonic of the public prints ; I feel, how-
ever, as,zured that. no such bias exists in the Society, and
that nothing but a sense of Mr. Paces scientific incom-
petency and total absence of literary reputation in and out
of England, influences a large majority of the Fellows in
their resistance to his pretensions.—From a Letter in the
Morning Chronicle.

ENGLISH THEATRE, PARIS..—We hear that.
Mr. NORMAN, late of the Theatres Royal, Covent-garden
and Dublin, liaa concluded an engagement, for six months,
with Monsieur LAURENT, Manager of the above-mulled
Theatre, to superintend the production of several melo-
dramatic pieces. Monsieur LAURENT certainly caters well
for his Parisian patrons, for he seems anxious to secure the
premier talent; and Mr. N. will be a great acquisition—
for, independent of his skill and ingenuity as a director
and projector of Pantomime, as a melo-dramatic actor lie
has very few equals.

st is my tnassa, be buy tolen goods, he knew me tolen and
yet lie buy me." ,

ing the premises of Messrs. GRIMALDI and JOHNSON,
