LONDON BRIDGE.—On Tuesday the LORD MAYOR
caused I temporary stop to be put to the dangerous navigation.[,
the centre arch of this ancient edifice. A celebrated wit, nearly
200 years ago, observed art this Bsidge, that it was constructed foe
fouls to pass under, and wise nom over; its present crazy state seems
hardly to warrant such a distinction. By calculations made from

Piesident of the Royal Academy. Mr. Was? was ac-
customed to relate a lively anecdote respecting Mr.
%Laos. Mr. WILsoN, an American loyalist and a
natural philosopher, opposed FRANKLIN'. system of
electric conductors, and maintained that blunt con-
ductors were of superior efficacy to the pointed recom-
mended by FRANKLIN. Mr. Warr being one day at
Buckingham House with the KING, related the subject
of contest to his MAJZSTY, and finished by respectfully
asking, what his MAJESTY thought? " Hey r replied
the KING, .4 what do I think? I will tell you what I
think, Mr. WEST. If your countryman, Mr. WILSON,
wants blunt conductors, I think he canni.t do better
than take my Ministers; they will fit him to a hair !"

THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY.:

The Oratorio yesterday evening was a magnificent
treat to the lovers of harmony. We would have wished
it a little shorter, and yet it is not easy to say, what we
could have spared. But we must enter a little more
into particulars. Miss Hvouac warbled that sweet and
simple composition of litsstop's, Lo! here the gentle lark.
most admirably. The imptes.i.,n of it was not effaced
even by the brilliant PASTA, the star of the evening.—
Ah theforce is so well known that it is scarcely necesi
nary to say it was loudly encored. Madame PERON has
great flesibili'y and volume, but her articulation is ra-
ther deficient., She did not at all please us in Should he
upbraid. All feelings, however, of discontent vanished
on hearing her variations to Sento &Marini in seno.—
They will hear comparison with and thing of the kind.
Miss Love's noted song, " Oh, no! we never in iition
her," Mill be a lasting favourite. It requires no great
compass of voice, but draws very largely on judgment
and feeling, and these she has to petfection—it was
rapturously encored. Her voice is exquisitely adapted
to plaintive melancholy strains, without approaching to
the rythnsical knowledge of Mow's. BAYLT has writ•
ten some of the simplest and most feeling songs we
know. " I'd be a butterfly," is of this class, light and
airy, with a ...tinge of melancholy—Miss Lava did it
ample justice. Miss SMIAREFT sang a ballad, "On
this lone rock," with much taste and considerable pro.
raise. There Was a good deal of precision and taste in
Delis GRAN It's accompaniment of BaAitAit in the Echo
Duet: her " Charlie's drums are sounding" (the Pre
tender was better off in songs than any legitimate Prince
we know), was spirited arid chaste. Mr. Baauaw has
two styles or singing ; we like the unotnamented:—
" Here's to the year that awa" was in his best style—
bat one may suspect the burst of applause it elicited is
owini to another cause too—
,. Here's to the land of our birth,
"To our Moirsacee, the pride of as a re
will explain our memnitig.
The esquisite duet, `, As I saw fair Clora walk alone'
(the words of which•are, by the nay, truly poetical), and
111,Hor's. quartet " Sleep gentle Lady," are also de-
serving of particular notice. The choruses were not
very remarkable. The Overture of Romberg was highly
applawded.
