WINALA !tos.—The excellent manner in which so
large- au edifice as Covent-Harden Theatre is at pre-
s..ot ventilated, is another striking proof of the harpy
a:iplication of philosophy to the pcomotion of the com-
forts of life. free and constant circulation of air
pervades every part of the building ; and this is ef-
fected wiliont the clumsy, and indeed dangerons ex-
cd lent of occasionally introducing cold currents of the
evictrnal atmosphere on those previously suffering from
exces-ise brat. We believe a good system of cold air
vent &lion has been hitherto a desideratum ; so difficult
has it been found of accomplishment, that is was con-1
s' dered impracticable without the aid of furnaces, or of
forcing or exhausting pumps, am! even these and other me-
chanical contrivances, to accelerate or force the motion
of the atmosphere, have been tried ineffectually. Me-
flieal writers constantly lament the calamities of our
hos, itals, workhouses, and prisons, proceeding from
their defective ventilation, and our fleets and armies
have been devasted, even during the late wars, from
hospital gangrene, fever, and other diseases, produced
and aggravated by an atmosphere corrupted by animal
effluvia. Even at this very moment, some of the civil
and military hospitals, in the metropolis, are infected
with erisypelatons inflammation, and stiffer also in
other respects from their imperfect ventilation. In
our social and domestic intercourse, we suffer
also from the same cause, and the ill effects of a close
atmosphere in our churches, courts of law, and other
places of public resort, have even become subjects for
Newspaper paragraphs; nor is Isis Majesty's Court
exempt from the same defect, as was experienced at
the late splendid and crowded drawing-room. It is
therefare with great pleasure that we ate enabled to in-
stance so happy an experiment as that to which we
have alluded, and that too in a Place, where so many
obstacles oppose themselves to I% success. When we
reflect on the close smell we tAistantly experience,
when entering even a private room where only two or
three individuals are present, we usual give full praise

to the escttleoce of the means which bare let Covent

tiarden Theatre altogether free front any close or nn•
pleasant smell, and which have rendered it astonishingly
cool, considering the number ef lights that are burn-
ing, and the crowds that assemble within its walls.
There seems to be a strange miscoaception with re-
spect to the appropriate dimension of a winter and
