A state chair was prepared for her Royal Highnefs's reception, but fl.e declined all marks of fiiperiority. Lo rd and Lady SPEN CER, and their lovely daughters, were among the fafhionable groupe. The MAKS/ER(IDR at RANELAGH laft night, tho' extremely brilliant, was not fo crouded as might have been expelled from the fineners of the even ing, and the entertainment fo liberally provided by the Managers. The Mafquos were about five kin dred, chiefly in Dominos, though there were feve ral charaClers extremely well fupported ; amongft there we particularly remarked a Gentleman-in the charaEler of an Itinerant Pkr, who played delight. fully the whole evening, aad attracted a conitant croud around him—A punch, a barber, add afoot wan, with many others, maintained their characters with great life and fpirit—A watcbmax was molt difguftingly noify and dull, and repeatedly deaf ened the whole room with his rattle. Dicey m favoured the company withfeveral charming tongs during the evening, which palled off with great glee and good humour, and the company did not feparate till long after day light this morning. DRURY..LANII THEATRE.—The Comedy of Ai Ida It, and tht Mufical Farce of the Son-in-Law, were performed laft night for the benefit of Mr. BANNISTER, jun. to a molt tplendid and overflow ing audience. The principal novelty of the even ing was the firft appearance of a young Lady of the name of Demo err, on the character of Cecilia, in the afterpiece. This Lady poffeffes a charming voice, which has received the/weed:try improve. ment of fcientific ftusly, and fhe rung the feveral airs allotted to her with the utmoft fiveetnefs and tafte. She was univerfally applauded throughout the entertainment, and no lefs fo in her charming execution of the " Pititative Ditty," which the in troduced at the end of the firft a& of the Comedy. Of all the reprefentations of tea-fights, none ever appeared fo Rriking, fo grand, and fo car ted, as the NAVAL VICTORY, brought out fall night at the Ravel. CIRCUS, St. George's Fields, on the recent glorious occalion of our forcing the paffage of the Sound, and defeating the enemy in their own ports. Indeed it is got up in fuch per. feCtion, that it pofitively ijnprelfes the minds of the fpeitators with an idea of reality—the attack on the fortrefs of Cronberg, the deftruCtion of the floating batteries and (hipping, and the dreadful bombardment of the town and arfenal of Copen hagen, twiddles a fcene (if we may be allowed the expredion) beautifully terrific; and the courage of our brave Tars is truly confpicuous k the gallant Netsoo is Peen leading them on to utter) , on his flag-fhip, which appears in full fail-Lcoming . down to the front of the Rage) following Vie motion of the waves, and manoeuvring in a moll furpriling manner.—So . great was the coup erseil, and die aftonithment is produced, that the plaiidita from all parts of the Houfe were iscetrant. The Scenery is beautiful, and the machinery mull lee of the molt ingenious and curious contrivance to produce filch ; linking effeet. The Mufic and Chorufes are very appropriate, and the dreffes, *c. truly charaZteriftic.--Such performances mull certainly fiend unrivalled, and will Ito doubt enfant the fuccels they merit. a was • •• a a..awia.ga va.a• v. 14•.
