MEEIING AT M.USCH.ESTZR.

A most numerous Meeting was held on Monday,
in the Manor Court-room, in High-streit, by the '
liberal permission of Sir OSWALD MOSELEY. A tem-
pnrary hustings having been erected in a suitable part
of that commodious room, for the reception of the
Committee of those persons who meant to deliver
their sentiments, and who stationed themselves ac-
cordingly, at balt-past ten o'clock the business of the
day commenced, when Mr. Barren was called to
the Chair by universal concurrence. He stated to
them the occasion of their assembling; gave circum-
ttantial minutes, of all that transpired in their com-
munications with the Authorities of the town (eliding
in the failure of obtaining the desideratum of official
sanction); and enneuted all present to conduct them-
selves with that firmness, but moderation of de-
meanour, that might convey to the minds of future
Pnblic Officers, impressions of a favourable tendency.
Ur. Thomas Bully brought forward the first Reso-
lution Mr. JOHN HARRISON, the second ; and Mr.
JOHN EDWARD TAYLOR, Mr. Rtorain POTTER, and
ethers, the remainder; which passed with acdama-
f.ons. They were chiefly expressive of the sense
the Meeting entertained of the late measures taken
.:;arist her MAJESTY—their thorough conviction of
ter innocence—their congratulations upon her suc-
cess—and their decided disapprobation of the Bill of
Pains and Penalties, &c. Separate Addresses to his
14/Llnm and the QUEEN were then read to the Meet-
ing, and voted unanimously. The Meeting dissolved
at two o'clock, and separated full of good humour.

7.4 r. VANDEWHOFF Cook his farewell of the Liver-
pccl audience on Saturday last, in the character of
Peospero, in-the Tempest, and Lord Henry, in the
Interluie of Personation, previous to his appearance
ca Saturday, at Covent-Gardee, in the arduous cha-
racter of Lear.

The King's Scholars at Westminster gave yester-
day the first representation of their yearly Play, in
the Dormitory of the College. The Play this year
is the Phormio of TERENCE, which, perhaps, is less
.a:dactic than the others of his Comedies, and affords
tewer of those sentiments which are the clap-irapt of
a learned audience. The representation was, how-
ever, received throughout with deserved favour.—
like acting, on such an occasion, it is not customary
or fair to submit to a severe criticism, though it
would bear it quite as well as much to which it is
usually applied, especially when fair allowance is
made tin the difficulties of representing the usages
of ancient society in modern costume, and on a
limited stage. There was at least the satisfaction of,
witnessing what we look for in vain in more osten-
tatious Theatres—something like uniform correctness
a*:4l good taste. The restraint and the infirmities of
age are easily affected, and the strength of the West-
minster Scholars is in their old characters. The scene
between the three Advocaii and Demipho—the spi-
riti:d sketch of that picture of professional advice
which is exaggerated into such on admirable cari-
cature, and turned against the Physicians, in the
dimwtr Medici* of Mouser., was given so as to
police no mean theatrical effect. Among the cha-
mfers particularly distinguished were Demipko (we
inneve, Mr. Dolmen), Phenyl) (Stem t), Sophona,
and Nauzistrata. Geis, the servant, and, as far as it
went, the part of the /coo, whom -se may not de-
cently translate to the unlearned reader, were played
Tlth spirit. The declamation, of course, was through-
datinct and correct.
