V[ NDSO Ra, May 13.-The King left the Royal Castle this afternoon in his carriage, drawn by four fine bay horese, for the purpose of taking an airing. His Majesty proceed- ed up the Long-walk to the Royal Lodge, where the King alighted, and spent some time in inspecting the various improvements going on, and returned to the Castle to dinner. Our readers will be glad to hear, that none of the young officers who wvon the rowing-match on Wednesday have suffered by their extraordinary exertions. Manly aports like these, combining at once bodily vigour and mental energy, de,,erve encouravmeinet and rdsResttheyguarnyee our safety and superiority in came of wirr, and are a noble substitute for the effeminate pleasures of the saloon or debasing occupations of the gaming-table. MASQUERADE AT THs ARGYLL-ROOMS.-Tbe genuine spirit of masquerading, we have often observed, has not been natu- ralized in this country and each succeeding attempt at this kind of amusement tends to confirm the observation. An Englishman, tbough le mav like to laugh, seldom cares to be laughed at. When he goes to pub'lic places, he pays his mosey to l.e entertained, not to ertertai others. He has no notion, when he has given his guinea at the door, that any other contribution is expected from him; whereas, at a masquerade, which is intended to be a source of mntutal entertainment, every man hlust furnish his quota, or the object fails. You cannot, as you would at a theatre, sit dowri and enjoy the performanue. Tkere a particular set of individuals are bound to exert themselves for the gratification of the r,st; here every body present is to amuse his neig4 bour, and his neighbour him. in return. But these reciprocal efforts not heinz compulsory, and our national disposition not being sufficiently volatile to induce them spontaneously. the comnpany is generally composed of lookers-on enly,without any perforniers; con. sequently the affair is as dull and stupid as it can weeU be. To be sure,you will here and there meet with a barber who puffi his powder into your eyes; or a watchrman who springs his creaks in your ear; ora tom-boy who rolls her hoop betweer. your legs, to the irnminent peril of your nose; or a few other individuals attempting similarly childish practical jokes; together with seine half dozen Clowns and Harlequiris, hired for the occasion by the proprietors; and their exertions, conmbined witlh the music and dancing, sere to keep up a kind of bustling effect, that passes off wel enough with some people for merriment. Then there is a hot supper served up by Alr. Ward, with a supply of Mr. C. Wright's Champagne to wash it down-a couple of appendsget which tend mightily to put a man in humnour with his evening's optertainment. But it is of the absence of intellectual amlusement tlst we complain. There is none of that representation and support df character; nor of that happy display, and occasional interesting encounter of wit, whicl should constitute the leading features of' this species of recreation. The atliar lastnight was quite as good as anyr we have witnessed for some time; the rooms were well lighted and ornamented; bands of music were stationed in different pzArts of theni, atnd no pains were spared on the part of the proprietors to give variety and spirit to the scene. Upon the supper rooms being thrown open, they wereimmediately occupied by a crowd, who seemed, if we might judge front tl;e celerity wlLh which the fowls and wines dLsappearcd before tlhem, very well satisfied with the physical wontributisns prepared for them; and who, if they had been too passive in the other rooms, were active enough here. Cl ry OF LONDOS; SCnooI, OF INDUSTRY AND- IN- STRUCTIox.-The fourteenth anniversay festival of this charity was celebrated yesterday at the London Tavern. His Royal High- ness the Duke of York presided. About 150 gentlemen of respecta. bility wese present. A most excellent dinner was served up i very superior style. After the cloth was removed, sud the usual stand- ing toasts were drunk, the children, who had previously entered to join in the chorus of soda ae the King, were led ronnd tlieroom in procession, bearing clothes, boots, alees, Sets, and various other specimens of theirindustry. Their appearance vwas extremely in- teresting. Two addres,ses were spoken by a girl and A boy, which, although delivered in rather a monotonous tone, excited lend sp- plause. In the course of the evening, various nppe.;ls wecre made on behalf of this most meritorious chasrity, pointing out its advantages to society, and soliciting for it the support of the public, It ap_ pears, that no less thaR 70 boys and girls arc reared, educated Clothed, and instructed in various modes of industry. Such an institution deserves the tcouagtment and patzonage o every hu inane member of society. FRENCHs TH4EATrUCALS.-On* Saturday MNadeirioiselle Georges peribrmed at the Odeon, whe ta party,dhs,eraing themselves over different parts ofthe house, commenced such deafening vocife. rations, that the voice of the actress was wholly inaudible. It was no wonder that, under such irritating and ungallxnt treatment, a female should lose all patience. This was unhappily the case. The philosophy of lMademoniselle forsook her; shecame forward, and in angry tone declared that such a cabal was " monstrous, and not to be endured." This demonstration of indignity threw' c7 upon tihe flame; the breeze frcshened instead of abating, and she was loudly called upon for an apology; but her sexual spirit having beenl vexed beyond aU corporeal sufferance, the sntn&ger caine fbrward'tv an- nounce that Mademoiselle Georgeswas in violent hysterics. Even this appeal to the gallantry and compsion of the opposition failed to peuc the tumult, wvhen, during a momentarysuspnsion -qf hostilities, a Commissaryof Police addressed tte au mence fiova the stage, ceclaring that Mademoiselle hdd mnisbehaved, and that, the authorities would compel ber to maske the anendehoxorable. .
