The difficulties that so long opposed the opening of

don as stage-manager.

The Bishop of LONDON preached an excellent
sermon on Sunday morning to a large congregation, at Saint Dun-
stan in the West, for the benefit of the City of London National
Schools. A very liberal collection was made for the above laudi-
able Institutions.
The Egyptian Hall in the Mansion-House, is now
undergoing a cornpleat repair, a great number of workmen are
employed, in order that it may be ready for the ensuing Civic Fes-
dval on Easter Monday.
Daunt-Lane THEATILL—The theatrical warfare which has hi-
therto been waged, though with decreasing violence, when Mr.
Kiwi has strewn himself to the public, may be considered as ter
urinated. He appeared for the second time last night in the Mer-
chant of Venice, and was greeted by a crowded audience with the
plaudits which used to attend his entrie in his days of popular favour.
Private letters received yesterday from Riga, men-
tion that MTSTRATFORD CANNING passed through that
City on the 24th Jan. on his way to St. Peterslsurgh.
By letters from St. Thomas's, dated 16th December,
we learn, that the new coffee crop had c•me into the
market, and was selling at from twelve to thirteen
dollars. Sugar was rather scarce, and the price was at
seven dollars. Spanish dollars were one per cent. pre-
mium, and Lills on the United States were at par.
Between six and seven o'clock, on Friday evening, a
fellow and a girl went into a house of indifferent re-
putation, at the Head of the Tontine Close, Glasgow,
land had some drink. On leaving the house he refused
to pay the bill, when the landlord, I'. Macdonald, a
very old man, opposed him, on which the fellow lifted
him up, and threw him over the stairs, when, pitching
lon his head, he was killed on the spot. The fellow im-
mediately ran off.
Saturday evening a fellow delivered a letter to the
female servant of Mr. BOCHSA, the musician, at Craven
Hill, directing her to repair immediately to him at 34,
Sloane•street, which, after shutting up the house, she
immediately did. On her arrival Mt. B. expressed
extreme surprise; bat suspecting a trick, he returned
home, when he found some fellow had entered by the
window and carried off a quantity of plate, apparel, &c:
An idea of the downfal of Papal influence and of
that of its chief stay, Superstition, may be formed from
the remarkable fact that the number of pilgrims who
visited Rome in 1750, when a Jubilee was proclaimed,
was, at the opening of the Holy Gate, 1300, and in the
week which followed Christmas 8400. This year only
thirty six pilgrims attended the opening of the Holy
Gate, and but 440 arrived during the ensuing week.
The Roman Papers ascribe this defection to the diffi-
culty of obtaining passports, in consequence of the re-
strictions upon locomotion imposed by all the Italian
States, in imitation of their leader, Austria. This cause
may have a partial operation, but the real one is, no
doubt, the increase of knowledge throughout Europe,
which prevents the lower classes from thinking that
their salvation can be effected by a pilgrimage to a
tomb or an altar, the opening of a long closed gate, or
even the kissing of his flolitess's tot:.
