ADELAIDE GALLERY.—This well-established place of
public amusement participated very fully yesterday, in that
degree of patronage, which, at this season, is geherally
bestowed upon all places of amusement. We were upon
this occasion greatly pleased to find that an establish-
ment like the Adelaide Gallery was popular, because it
combines in the highest degree the most innocent and
captivating pleasures with a great abundance of sound
information. The gallery has fallen under a new manage-
ment—that of Mr: Jones—whose determination it is to
carry out those objects, and who yesterday, in pursuance
of them, introduced, amongst the dissolving views, Mr.
Wyld's map of the kingdom of Caubul upon a gigantic
scale, followed by striking views of Caubul itself—the
Khyber pass—Ghtiznee—the Bolan pass, and other
places in the East, rendered remarkable either by the
victories or the misfortunes of the British army. These
excited intense interest in the auditory, and were, like
the other portions of the dissolving views, received with
great applause. M. Claudit's daguerreotype portraits
had also their fair share of visitors and patronage.
SOCIETY OF CIIIMNEY SWEEPERS.—Yesterday a
dinner was given to the boys of certain master chimney
sweeperS, the lads amounting in number to 106, at Mr.
Allen's, the Yorkshire Stingo Tavern, New-road, we
believe for the last time to the climbing boys, the Act
for their discontinuance coming into force on the Ist of
July next. ,It may be necessary here to observe, that
the annual dinner of the masters and boys, which always
was celebrated on the Ist of May was, ;on the Ist inst.,
so celebrated in consequence of the Bill for the intro-
duction of the machine having passed both HouSes of
Parliament. The cause of the dinner taking place yes •
terday was as follows :—A few few years since a Captain
South bequeathed to the churchwardens of the parish of
St. George the Martyr, Queen-square, the sum of 1,0001.,
directing them to apply the interest thereof in giving a
dinner, a Testament, and a new shilling to the .above
number of boys, being apprentices of chimney sweepers.
The boys selected by the churchwardens to attend, met at
half-past ten o'clock, in the Parochial School-room, with
their masters, and proceeded in procession to the
church, and having attended Divine service, a most im-
pressive sermon being delivered by the Rev. W. Short,
the Rector, they afterwards proceeded to the Stingo
Tavern, where they were plentifully regaled with abund-
ance of beef and plum-pudding, after which Mr. Cronin,
the senior churchwarden, presented the boys with their
respective shillings and a New Testament each. The
National Anthem was sung by the company. engaged at
the establiAment, and the boys were dismissed. The
masters subsequently dined together.
THE GERMAN OPERA.—Fidelio, for the perform-
ance of which so many inquiries have been made, will
be represented to-morrow, and it is said that her Ma-
'b9ty and suite will be present on the occasion. The
zee are dearly all wimp,
