THE Argyll being destroyed, the Philharmonic Society commenced their annual series on Monday last at the King's Concert Room, Haymarket, with Beethoven's symphony in C minor. Upon the whole, it was well played, and pleased; but Mr. Weichsel, instead of leading, now and then suffered the orchestra to lead him, and this produced at times the effect of indetermination.

Madame Vestris has been unable to perform since Saturday last, on account of a severe hoarseness. She returns this evening to her popular part in the National Guard. Miss Mordaunt retains that of young St. Victor, in Past and Present, which she played at fourand-twenty hours' notice,—and the piece loses nothing by the exchange. in consequence of its being mostly free-advantageously so- from those redundant triplet passages with which most of his operas are stamped. Even in the accompaniments there was German solidity, which Donzelli and Santini turned to the best account. A German lady, Madame Dulcken, a relation of the Bohrers, appeared here for the first time with a pianoforte concerto of Herz. Execution, her chief excellence, has become of late so common and cheap a commodity, that it now possesses hardly more claim to distinction than a foreigner's knowledge of French. She plays, however, with spirit and great precision, but without feeling: there is also a want of character and style in her performance, which was particularly apparent in the adagio. The choice of the composition, too, did not speak much in favour of her judgment—for such an RoSSINI's inimitable opera of La Gazza assemblage of common-place and unmeaning Ladra was performed here for the first time passages it has seldom been our fate to hear. this season, on Tuesday night.

FRENCH DRAMATIC READINGS. THERE was a highly respectable company assembled to hear Monsieur Dupont's French Dramatic Readings at Willis's Rooms on Wednesday:-his discours d'ouverture contained some very useful observations with regard to teaching and acquiring a knowledge of French. His critical notices on the peculiarities of the language, and especially as applied in defence of the use of rhyme, in which all the best tragedies and comedies of that nation are written, displayed considerable talent and originality: Monsieur Dupont read several of the most interesting scenes in Corneille's beautiful tragedy of the "Cid," prefacing each with many judicious remarks. His voice is clear and powerful, and his pronunciation pure and distinct. If the succeeding séances be as good as the first, they cannot fail of being instructive and amusing to those who are even slightly acquainted with the French language, and have a taste for its literature. VARIETIES. The Jesuits. There are at the College of Jesuits, at Fribourg, 193 students, of whom 152 are French. There are also 130 out-door students. Sculpture.

Sir Thomas Baring, Bart. M.P. Right Honourable Lord Barham. Sir Montague Cholmeley, Bart. Directors. Thomas Bainbridge, Esq. Guilford Street. G. T. King, Esq. Pudding Lane. J. Labouchere, Esq. Hamilton Place. Treasurer. Henry Drummond, Esq. Mr. J. R. Clark, 31, Northampton Square. March, 1830. The Directors are happy to state, that considerable progress has been made in the erection of the Public Building, intended to afford increased and adequate accommodation for holding the anniversary and other Meetings of the Religious, Charitable, and Scientific Institutions in the Metropolis; and that the necessary arrangements have been made for completing it at the earliest practicable period. The Building is most conveniently and centrally placed in the greatest thoroughfare of the Metropolis, being situated in the Strand, between Southampton Street and the spot where Exeter Change formerly stood, and consists of a Hall to contain about 3000 Persons, a smaller room capable of holding an Audience of 600, and various Offices for the convenience of different Institutions. In order to provide the necessary means for effecting this ob ject, Shares are issued of £50 each; and it is confidently expected, from every inquiry and calculation which have been made, that the Profits arising from the use of the Rooms and Offices con nected therewith, will be amply suffelent to give a reasonble return. (not exceeding £5 per cent), on the Capital which may be subscribed. The utility of this object, as tending to afford very great accom. modation to the Public, and, in an especial manner, to promote the interests of the various Religious, Charitable, and Scientific Institutions in Londort, the Directors are persuaded, cannet fail to be rightly estimated. The want of a Building of this description has been long and severely felt; and a considerable sum was subscribed towards the object before it was practicable to make a commencement with the Building. The Directors, therefore, cannot but confidently hope, now that it is in rapid progress, that the undertaking will meet with that further encouragement and support, which the important advantages it is calculated to confer, so well entitle it to receive. Applications for Shares may be made to Sir T. Baring, Bart. M.P. President, 21, Devonshire Place, J. G. Baker, Esq. 10, Wardrobe Place, Rev. R. H. Shepherd, 11, Chatham Place, and Palace Street, Pimlico; and Mr. Clark, Secretary, 31, Northampton Square. Donations will also be received by Messrs. Drummond and Messrs.

Impartiality is another recommendation; and, as far as we have observed, this spirit is very creditably maintained throughout."-New Monthly Magazine. "It is small praise to say this Dictionary supersedes all the prior compilations of the kind; but we have consulted a multitude of articles, and have been surprised at the accuracy, versatility, and intelligence, which they exhibit. We must not omit to remark an important recommendation in a bulky book of reference-its cheapness. Though far more copious, and carried down to a much later period, we believe the work does not exceed the price of the imperfect repertories of biographies." -Atlas. "Among the many cheap and useful publications now issuing from the press, we have scarcely seen one which unites so many excellencies as this Biographical Dictionary. It exhibits a fine specimen of typography, and has a merit which belongs to very few low-priced works."-Scotsman. "Mr. Gorton's publication is altogether one of great excellence calculated to be useful to a large number of students-and deserving extensive popularity."-Athenæum.
