SOCIETY FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF

-..-...••••-••

Yesteriay being the day appointed for the Annual
Distribution of the Prizes awarded by the above So.:
ciety to those candidates whcme piodnctions in the class
of polite arts were deemed worthy of inch a distinction
by the Committee, a numerous and fashionable patty
assembled as the Society's Rooms, in the Adelphi, to
witness the interesting ceremony.
His Royal Higheess the Duke of Sussex presided on
the occasion► and on his entering was received with
•
loud cheers.

Mr. AMIN, the Secretary, read the report of the
Committtee, which appeared to give general satisfac-
tion. The plan of distributing the rewinds at the
King's Theatre had been abandoned, in consequence of
the ex.reme inconvenience attendant upon such a cere-
mony, in so extensive a building, and the confusion
which consequently prevailed. 'l'he Report having been
read, the different candidates were successively intro.
duced to the Royal Chairman,who conversed with some
of them in the most affable manner, and complimented
them on the talent they displayed. Among them were
several very young persons, upon whom his Royal
Highness passed very flattering encomiums:-
The whole of the rewards having been distributed,
his Royal Highness thanked the company present for
their attendance, and !hutted them that he would do all
is his power to promote the interests of so invaluable
and escelleat an Institution.

The new Opera of Mamie& was performed last

—and the splendour of the.dresses. all contribute to yen•
der ibis Opera the most attractive we recollect to have
seen at this Theatre. with the exception; perhaps. of
those of Vines. The Carol, " 0 see how brightly breaks the

COVENT-GARDEN.
Micro/es Masque of Comm, with the original music
and the additions of flusttor, was last night revived at'
this Theatre, in a manner that reflects great credit on
the Managers. The.whole of the scenery, dresses, and•
decorations were of the finest and MOM effective descrip%
thus; and all the performers,. particularly Kin .s,
Psatta.ms, Miss Hocutta, Mis. livral.D. Miss FOIIDB,I
Miss CAWII4 and Miss GOWARD, acquitted themselves •
with great ability. Miss COVENRY. a remarkably
pleasing and well tutored child, made her first appear-
ance on this stage, and was a most delightful repre
sentative of the sweet tuphrosyne. She gave the air,
Bid nee discourse,. in a very charming style, and was
mu warmly applauded and universally encored. The
whole of the decorative department excited the marked
admiration of a crowded and elegant audience, and the
piece was announced .for repetition amidst the warmest
bursts of applause.

SURREY THEATRE - •
The Opera of Love in a Village was performed at
this Theatre last night to a crowded audience, for the
