There can be nothing more tirefome exhibited on the Rage, than the com mon-place efea pea of Harlequin and Columbine, from the father of the latter—the watchman's coat, the boat, the poll-chaife, the bale of goods, /cc. with the ufual (need:Goo of miltakes. tumbles and wry faces of the party in purfuit.

The Dance, for it is nothing mote, is called " Old Harlequin's Fire fide." When the curtain draws up we are prefented with a whole family, chard in motley attire.

The Author has endeavoured to throw mote in tereft into the texture of the piece, than is generally attempted is a mere Harlequinade, and the alterrate introduction of dialogue and anion, adds to the effea of each. Some of the principal transformations are, a large globe of qaickfilver to a fairy ; an iron cage to a iplendid car ; a broken bridge to a (loop ; a pub lican': fign to an eagle ; the mine to an open coon try ; a houfe to a feetion of itfelf. in which the inha bitants of each apartment are (hewn in miniature, by mechanical figures (a la Fantaccini) who accompany a defcriptive chaunt given by Simmons, as a Savoy ard : there are alto a number of other fcenic decep tions, executed by Meas. Phillips, Whitmore, Hol logan, Sloper, &c. We have rarely feen a piece of this defeription more favourably received. Mr. BOLOGNA, jun. in Harlequin, difplayed un common graceand agility, and Mifs S , in Co lumbine, was very highly applanded. Dubois, BLAN CHARD.' gINIMONS, and L. BOLOGNA, made the mod of their refpedlive charallers. The Scenery was very beautiful, particularly the lag fcene, which is a fort of Fairy Palace, and one giving a view of Madrid. The mufic by Davy, adds certainly to his reputa don as a compact of talle and judgment. The airs are in general pretty, and breathe fancy and talent throughout, efpecially a trio in the &It alt, by Julia, Sancho, and Columbine. There is another equally beautiful in the fecond, by Malqueraders. The honk was well attended by the holiday-folks, who, as ufiral, were exceedingly tumultuous in the galleries. The Pantomime, having given univethil lataadition, was announced for this evening with great and deferved applaufe, and bids fair to prove attraitivz for a confiderable time.
