LONDON, SEPT. "a.

Signs oftke times.--A few evenings
since, a lady whose residence is in one
OF the most public streets of the city, was
playing the air of God save the King for
her own amusement, when pistol was
fired close to the window, and she retreat.
ed from the room shocked and alarmed
She shortly resumed her seat at the pi.
ano-torte, and continued to play the same
tune, not, however, without the repeated
interruption of loud knocking on the
shutters, which, as it was dark, had been
fastened some time. This is appurte-
nant to the new order of things.
On Saturday evening last our theatre
was attended by a very full and respecta-
BILE audience, to witness the perform
ance Of Richard the thru. At the end
OF the play the national anthem, '' God
SAGE the King" was called for, and i'm
mediately opposed by portion ofthe au-
dience in the gallery, who at the same
time threw down apples and halfpotatoes,
one of which struck chandelier, broke
it, and caught the face of a gentleman in
one of the stage boxes. This conduct
was also accompanied by some partial
cries of" Hurt and Liberty" followed
by loud groans. At length the band
came to the orchestra, but the leader for
the evening, Mr. Ward, was struck on
the back ofhis head with a penny-piece.
Not inundated from his duty by this I'M
manly act, he proceeded to play the air.
The dramatiS personae advanced at the
same time to sing it, but were immedi-
ately assailed by a variety of missiles
from the gallery. Thus indecently as
saultcd, and some of them struck, they
involuntarily retreated several PAGES
from the front of the stage. A cry fol-
lowed of Hats off," but several per.
sons in the pit were not disposed to pay
this attention, usual on such occasions !;
and to remonstrances from gentlemen
IN the lower boxes, one or two exhibited
determined defiance, by clasping their
hands on their white beavers" whilst
fixed on their heads. This induced an
officer and another gentleman to leap
into the pit, and the hats were suddenly
removed. A very great majority of the
audience now cheered loudly, many Ia
dies waved their handkerchiefs. the per-
formers went on with the tune, and the
in the gallery groaned'
with all their might, and used variety
OF opprobrious epithets. The words of
the anthem were therefore quite inaudi-
BILE; drowned in confused noises.

Judge Story, in late charge TO the
grand jury Of the United States at Boston,
expressed himself in the following elo
quent language" Your duty is imperi-
Gus in making true presentments Of every
case of piracy within your jurisdiction.
without INDUCING any of those weak and
improper sympathies for the revolutionary
patriots which would induce you to shield
the miscreants, who, from avarice are
acting. under their name, dreadful dra-
ma of plumber, violence and blood. :"
Speaking of the slave trade, he said
g 1t is mockery to talk of liberty and
its attendant blessings when the rights OF
any portion Of mankind are trampled upon
by avarice. and human beings are mar
ketable commodity among us. Itrequires
the alertness Of watchful and powerful
sovernment-the indignant thunders of the
law from the bench and the strict dis
charge Of duty from public prosecutors
and from jurymen, aided by all classes
of good men, to relieve us from the pests
Of piracy and the slave trade"

adopting system with children, and new
Ter departing from it, if the principles are
Sound. A very sacred and solemn duty
is imposed upon parents, not only to iced
and clothe their children, for that seems
TO- be the boundary attention with many
|persons,) but to preserve their minds aud
morals Pure--to inculcate, by precept and
example. lessons Of prudence, economy
and industry. This can only be effected
Iin one way by decision and iudcious
severity. Unless child fears bls parent,
he will never obey or respect him. This
severity does not consist in beating a
Ichiid--but Keeping him at a respectful
distance; admitting him only al stated pc
RODS into his presence, and at those peri
eds ceayers!ng nationally and Affections
ately with him; crushing IN The bud every
attempt at wit, or. what is called, smart
say ings, the precursors only Of insolence,
rudeness and i'll manners but, on The
contrary, imprintipg, upon their waxen
minds, lessons Of mildness, temperance
and industry. Some will say, that by this
cold and repnlsiye course, you teach chill
dren TO hate you; but ii should be remeG-
bered, that familiarity destroys respect
and where there is no respect, there is no
fear--wbere there is no lear, there is no
obedience. A child may fear his parent !;
but in time he will discover the good
qualities OF his father, account for his
severity and love him; and that very Sc
verify will induce child 10 do nothing
that may offend him. Let them live hardy
when young partake of rough, but whole
some fare; abstain from laxuries dress
plainly; give them little or no money
teach them to earn it; give them trade
when they are able to work, or suitable
profession see that their time is employ
ed, and compel them, while under your
care, to obey your commands, and they
will turn out good citizens. II is fact,
which is updeniable, that seyen-eighths Of
the bad Characters. who disfignre the
worldwide are useless TO themselves-of
no credit or service to their families, have
been thus reduced to extremities from the
culpable neglect and objectionable indif-
ference of parents. HOWARD.

Elizabeth-Town gazette. [volume] (Elizabeth-Town, N.J.) 1818-1821, 1819-11-16

The National Intelligencer gives the fol
lowing description of the house of rep
resensatives, which is preparing for the
reception of the members at the ensn-
ing session Of congress -
The room is semi-circular, and OF
considerable dimensions, both as to d.
ameter and elevation twenty-five MASSEY
columns and four pilasters, Of Breccia, or
Potomac marble, as it is usually called,
are erected on an elevated base of free
stone, forming the area of the room.
The capitals Of these pillars are of Car
rarian marble, were executed in Italy,
aud are very rich and beautiful. These
support large aud magnificent dome, in
the centre of which is placed an orna-
mented copula, that admits the light
into the house from above. In the
front of the speakers chair, and over
the entrance into the chamber, stands au
categorical figure, executed in Italian
marble, by Messrs. Frauconi aud Zaccinl
ania, and representing History, in the act
|o recording the proceedings of the nation.
She stands on a winged car, which seems
to roll over section Of the celestial
globe, exhibiting, in basso relieve, the
signs of the zodiac. The wheel of the
car is intended as the face of clock.
which is to be placed behind, and the
front contains, in bas relief, figure Of
Fame, and profile bust of Washington.
Above the speakers chair is colossal
statue of Liberty, in plaster, pointing to
the house below, and supported on her
right by the American eagle, and on her
left by the Roman Fasces, which are
partially enveloped 10 the fold Of ser
pent. Immediately under this figure, on
the frize, is carved 10 alto relieve, anoth-
er eagle, 10 the attitude of flying, executed
by an artist Of great eminence, now no
more.
The ceiling Of the dome is painted in a
style of uncommon elegance, by signior
Bonani, a young Italian artist, and pu-
Ipil of the celebrated David Of Paris.
The design is somewhat similar to that OF
the dome Of the Pantheon at Rome. The
cupola, and bordering below, are splen-
didly ornamented, and contrasted by the
rich and massy columns beneath, and the
general finish and outline of the house,
produce an effect at once grand and i'm
posing. Part of this beautiful ceiling has,
unfortunately, from the want of time, been
left in an unfinished state but the design,
execution and coloring of the whole, re-
fleet great credit on the artist, and must
excite the admiration of every spectator.
1t is hoped that signior Bonani may be
employed to paint the upper dome or
ceiling Of the senate chamber, in the north
wing OF the capitol another room Of al
most equal splendor and beauty. From
the specimen he has given Of his taste,
Judgment and skill in the painting just ex-
ecuted, every one must desire to see him
still further employed; and am sure
