COVINVGA SDEISTInaIIiirZaSS night the Opera
of Gay llfaineriv was brought out at this Theatre;
for the purpose of introducing to the Public a new
candidate for theatrical distinction, who undertook
the part of Henry Itestrast. It was announced as
"a first appearance on the Stage," which in this in-
stance was manifestly true. The embarrassment of
the Gentleman was indeed so excessive, that he not
unfrequently sang quite out of tune, although a
highly-cultivated musician, as we are assured--hav-
ing just returned from Italy, where he has been for
several years studying, to improve his knowledge of
that art. In the first scene, in which his voice is
heard while his person is invisible, he sang with
such effect as to call down universal applause, and
to secure a gracious reception. But he had scarcely
entered upon the Stage, when all his efficiency ap-
peared to desert him. The scene seemed quite to
appal him,• and he evinced no symptom of-recovered
confidence throughout the Piece. The audience,
therefore, expressed much disappointment, especially
upon his ill-advised attempt to sing " Scots take has
tvi Wallace bled," in which his failure was such as
to produce a general hiss, instead of that rapturous
encore which-has been uniformly excited by success-
ful performers. His age seems about 25, his figure
is of a very superior order, and his features exceed-
ingly interesting. •The repetition of the part was not
announced. The other performers in the Opera met,
as they deserved, the most ardent applause, particu-
larly Misses BEAUMONT and G REZN, and Mrs.Fanctr.
Sr. PAUL'S Caoss.---There was formerly what
was called " Paul's Cross," fronting the Cathedral ;
but, perhaps, no modern attempt at reparation has
surpassed what occurred at St. Paul's on Thursday,
when the workmen employed there succeeded in
slinging ropes from the stone gallery to the railed
gallery, and thence round the pinnacle of the cross,
an order to repair it. Several hours were consumed
in this undertaking. Two of the workmen then as-
cended by these rope-ladders, and not only got upon
the very top of the cross, but wrote their respective
names on it, to the eastward, with chalk. Yesterday,
as on Thursday, it was amusing to witness the per-
sons, with telescopes, who were eyeing the chief work-
man while sitting quite astride on the cross, just
above the ball, and who, when discovered, was no
larger in appearance than a crow. Repairs, it is un-
derstood, are wanted both with regard to the cross
and cupola. It appears that the notion of an internal,
access front one to the other was entirely wrong.

ROYAL EYCK* tIGIrAt 11 O'ClOCk this forenoon,
in the presence of some hundreds of persons, the top
stone of the new dome at the Royal Exchmge,was ele-
vated to its place. In weight it ts above half a ton. In
the centre of it there is a cavity of upwards of 40
inches deep, to receive the iron to which a globe is to
be attached, and the whole surmounted by the
h;TPer,the crest of Sir Ta os. GRESHAM, WllO buirtaths;
Royal Exchange, in the reign of Queen ELIZABETH.
The stone was placed with loud acclamations, and
the colours of St. Mary Woolnoth were hoisted at
the extremity of the scaffold, on the south side. The
workmen will all be entertained at dinner by the
Master Mason, at the Union Tavern, Bagnigge-well.,
The Baron of Roast Beef, at the Mansion-house,
on Monday last, weighed 305:1b5.
