COUNT IiAAIYEN THIATRZ.—The Oratorio at this
• Theatre last night was very numerously and fashionably
..:snetided. The performance commenced laid) a selec-
ting from Barrsto*ati's •Fidelio, which contains some
very exquisite passages, but which has scarcely suffi•
cient sweetness to su:t an English taste. In the grand

the beautiful Irish Air, SOvoirrneen Deelish.

A vulgar prejudice has prevailed from time imme-
maid in Sasses, that a Saturday's moon brings blow-
ing-aed wet weather. By some accident this has proved
'ley true during the last twenty rears. To ascribe such
a phenomena to the occurrence of the new moon on the
"ay specially dedicated to Saturn, must, of course. ob-
vious,/ appear superstitions ; but there may be natural
causes why the conjunction of the sun and moon hap.
poling arsome such diurnal periods, may, in the long
run, turn out to be connected with rough weather,
and there periods once failing on a Saturday, would, for
a long tins-, continue to do so, hence may have arisen
this vulgar notion. Old shepherds, gardeners, and men
nt education, have alike testified to the fact. Indeed,
toe whole doctrine of the periodic phenomena is very
little understood.—Liierary Chronicle.
DAVID Hums and SHRRISAN were crossing the water
to Holland, when a high gale arising, the philosopher

bottom. " Why," said his friend, " that will suit loge
genius to a tittle; for my part I am only for skins/Ong
the surface of things."
The celebrated Ftrrcataa, of Salmon, is well known
to have possessed a most irritable temper. His foot-
man, desiring to be dismissed...." Why do you leave
me?" said he. " Because. Sir, to speak the truth,
I cannot bear your temper."—" To .be sure I am pas-
sionate ; but my passion is no sooner on than it is off"
—" Yes," replied the servant, " but then it is no sooner
off than it is on."
Wten MART Queen of Semi was in custody of
Gramma Earl of Su newsausty. the Countess, knowing
the suspicious temper of &teams', contrived a method
of relieving het Lord from a trust both odious and
dangerous. " Maiam," said she to the Queen, " I begin
so grow jealous. my husband is so familiar with his
Royal prisoner" This hint succeeded, and MART was
ordered to anorlrr keeper.
The great Sit EDWARD COKC was dreaded by the
Court of CHARLES I. as a powerful opposer in the
House; and to prevent his standing• to be chosen in
Parliament, he was marked down to serve as Sheriff
in the county (Buckingham). Costa objected that 'be
could not in conscience take the usual oath, which
binds the Sheriff to root out and destroy all Lollards.
His objection was over-ruled, and he was made to serve.
A mower of Parma swallowed, by chance, during
'sleep, a snake, which had crept into his mouth. By
means of powerful remedies, the dangerous guest was,
removed; but by one of the sports of chance, in which.
nature sometimes indulges, this man, in consequence of
the remedies employed, found himself, on recovering,
in possession of a counter-tenor voice of the greatest
beauty. -He is now a singer at the Cathedral at Bologna,
and his appointments are higher than those of a Uni-
versity. Professor.
