ROYAL HUNT.—Monday the annual grand Hunt, by his MAJESTY'S hounds, took place on Tower-Hill, near Swinley. The deer at setting off ran with great swiftness to the right across the Forest, taking to the left by Bagshot-park, where he leaped over the gate into the Park. He, however, made a double back, and ran with great speed up the hill towards slack water Bog, crossed the Bagshot-road, taking to the left into a clump of trees, near the Golden Farmer, *here he was taken after a famous run of near an hour, he not being able to run longer, being very fat, and was killed by the hounds before the huntsmen could get up time enough to take them off. Another deer was turned out this morning from Stoke Cum. mon. COVET CARDEN Tits.tirtz.—Last night there was a revival of SMAIMPtAItei Play, called the Comely of Errors. In the getting up. (as it is professionally phrased) of this comedy, there has been much pains bestowed by the superintendent upon the due arrange oxent of the scenic business. All the performers seemed eager to be perfect in their exertions. Mr. -Battairox and Mr. JONES, who sustained either Anti• ph•lii, were as similar in their persons and efforts as could be expected, nor did the character languish in their custody. The two Dromior were well upheld by Mrssrs. MW4DEN and BLANCHARD, and they both got much applause, and that very deservedly, as it was not through the medium of grimace or trckery, but by the apt enforcement of character t some of the by-play by Mr. Mumma was most happily illustra• tive of the main design. It is evident that this play bas been considerably lopped, but we consider the alterations, generally, as amendments, and shall b: surprised if it is not eventually attractive. The play went off with very great dd. It was succeeded by the Grand Dramatic Romance of Ate Beard, the attractions of which do not appear to hare decreased in consequence of its having been so fre• quently repeated—the cavalry and infantry •• fought all their banks o'er again," and were again received with unbounded applause. Still, however, the perspective is by no means so well managed as it was at Drury-lane. The stage is net• ther extensive enough for the business of the machinist in the march from the mountains, nor for the distant intonation with which the music of that march should come softened to the ear. The House was excessively crowded—and the boxes exhibited a most charming combination of loveliness and fashion. Lycaux.—The Castle of Andalusia was last night performed at this Theatre. Mr. BRAHAM sustained the character of A/Memo, in which he introduced variety of songs from other pieces. Throughout he was honoured with the most liberal support. Don Fernando was well played by Pines. In several of ire songs he was uncommonly happy. Lova:nova and PTNSON were very amusing in Don Scipio and Spade; and MATHIWS 'in Pedrillo convulsed the House wit:i laughter. All the female parts were well sustained. Miss KILLY and sirs. Simms gave considerable iin• portance to the parts of Cote/iris and Isabella, and Mrs. ORGeli was a pleasing representation of —A Mr. CHAlauErti, from the Theatre Royal, BiT . mingham, made his debar on the London boards, .n the character of Don Cesar.
