Fermi Feasirr.—The idea of the Epping Hunt attracted yesterday a great number of Cockney Sportsmen, who rode out at an early hour to join in the pleaottres of the chace. A crowd of persons of all descrintioos went to the Forest also in car riages and on font, with a view of enjoying a laugh at the awk ward exertions of the City Sportsmen. When they reached the place of their destination, however, there was neither Ste nor flourol to be seen, and we are inclined to thirk that this annual sport is likely to be dropt in future. His Majesty's Stag-Hounds meet to-morrow, at Bracknell; Friday, at Mlle-house, between Salt-hill and Maidenhead; on Monday next, the 10th, at Bedfont; and on Friday, the 23d, at Braconofield, being the last day this season. Mr. Conyers Hounds bunt this week in Duntnow Country. Last Tuesday morning, Sir John Cope's Fox Hounds threw off at Chaffee, near Lewes, and; after long trial, at length got scent of a lox, which they followed to Newick Wood, and there unkennelitol Reynard, but the cunning rogue knew better than to start ; he stuck to cover, and by his craftiness deluded and ba ffl ed the dogs, without ager to his brush, until the fieldsmon declared hist incorrigible, and too worthless for fur ther pnrsuit. Wednesday morning, the Hon. Colonel Wyndham's Fox Hounds threw off near the Flatlet Park, wherein they soon found and roused four of the wily family at one time, when :with the horse and foot, the dogs and the foxes, the wood was nearly alive. One that seemed to challenge a chase, paid dear for his temerity, by an early surrender of his brush ' • the other three skulked under favour of their cover, and escaped. The scent, owing to the dryness of the weather, was too fleet for the hounds, or Sir John and his Hon friend Colonel Wyndham, would have kept 'hem for a daily renewal of the sport, until the end of the week. The Hertfordshire Fox Hour.ds, which have this season at tained great celebrity in the spotting World, met for the last time on Monday, the sth inst. at the Bear Inn, Staititead, and after unotacessfully drawing Houghty Springs, they fortunntillf found . a Fox at Broom Wood. He was first viewed by F. Vander. meulen, Estk and after breaking cover, went away in the most gallant style over the open country to the Manuden Springs, end front thence to the covers at Pinehrools) be then head ed to the and skirted Battles Wood and Berden Park, in the County of Ilertford, through Northey to Quendon Ind -Haley Woods, Ox Croon, Assay, and Darell Woods, and after passlog a great cotent of country in the County of Essex, be Was killed at Suns:tad ILl!, after an hour and forty minutes hard run ning. It woniti be impossible to describe circumstantially the events of this glorious day, but we cannot avoid mentioning the daring spirit evioetd by some of the Sportsmen, amongst whom we ma!: particularize Dr. Bevan on a beautiful blood grey mare, as wall as Messrs. Baynes, Elliott, Leightenhouse, Edwards, Duna, Innter, Whbey, Special, Patmore, Clarke, tee. &c. and must note the desperate leaps taken by C Brand, Req.. and Captain Tweed, the latter of whom received a tremendous fall, but was instantly conveyed to r neighbouring cottages and bled by Dr. bevon, and we are happy to hear he is perfectly re covered. 'l'here was an unsual number of horses in the field, though few so fortunate as to be in at the death ; and amongst thou: we must enumerate Sampson Ilanbury, John Taylor, 'l'. ' Leader, Joseph Fairman, John Archer, John Jennings, Charles ' Blackburn, and G. Wilford, Mgrs. whose Awns wW be re , . corded in the asasli of Fox-hunting. 21 ° E4 'rl ? , ,E a Datray-LAtrz.z.**.T47,4ioteable opportunity could potpossl.bli..bp,v,Foicu to afford the lovers of &infusion the treat' of O' 00as "rote, thin the ttition'of 'EalterlimidaY''azi the'ripitient-atibtv of 7 the Tragedy of Thevitallrnia:" The public interest, with respect to the fate of thie.pieekN seemed however in some measure to have.ditninished, the house not being completely filled until half-price. The instant the curtain drew up, the kit' rose id a body, and it being very evident, from the confusion that immedi ately prevailed, that the.reprnsentatinn *of the. Play could not be proceeded in without some endeavour on the part of the Managers, Mr. _STEM/LEN KESIBLE came forward. He said, that for some time back, indeed ever since his arrival in London, he had been in a weak state of health. His Physicians recom mended that he should reside•in the country for some time, in consequence of which he left town a few days before The Italians was brought out. He knew, how ever, his duty both to them and the concern too well to take such a step without the permission of the Sub- Committee. Having said thus much with respect to himself, he begged leave to allude shortly to the Play, and to read an Address that was put into his hand : " LAWNS AND Grxri.mart—The Tragedy, Which is now about to be performed, having been much admired in the clofet, the Management of this Theatre thought it their duty to pro duce it upon the Stage. In fact, it was called for by the public voice. That it has not been brought out with the whole strength of the Theatre, as was origin:ray promised to the Author; is certainly a subject of regret ; but I ardently hope, for the in terests of most parties concerned, that the causes which• have led So so muck angry discussion will one day be reitieved, and that the controversy which has arisen out of them will be en- tirely buried in oblivion. " Animated by this hope, Ladies and Gentlernem I presume Ito bespeak your fair, candid, and impartial hearing. Opposition to a new Piece, previous to its commencement, or during .the progress of its performance, is so peculiarly embarrassing to Performers, that it renders theta almost entirely incapable of doing justice to the Public, to the Author, or to themselves.— Mistakes occurred on the last evening of performance, which we confidently hope will not occur on this. Performers, Ladies and etentlemen, are persons following an arduous profession; and the only reward that can reconcile them to its difficulties, is the approbation tiLthe Public, whose servants they, are. This approbation they hope this night to obtain. All they are able to do will be done ; and they confidently hope, that in this their endeavour to do justice to the Author, a British Audience will not refuse to afford them indulgence and support." The Tragedy proceeded after this, but with fre quent interruptions, until at length the voices of the performers were lost in the uproar of the contending parties. The Pit was the principal scene of action, and the impartial part of the audience seemed to t:-.ke less interest in the struggle than they had on the for mer occasion. Not a word of the two last Acts could be heard. When the curtain fell Mr. KENIELE came forward again, but he could not obtain a hearing ; he retired, and the curtain rising shortly after, a pla card was exhibited, intimating, that " The Italians was withdrawn." The exultation expresed on one side could only be equalled by the indignation on the other. After some time a comparative calm took place, but the vociferation of the critics was only re cruiting strength for a more powerful display when the Afterpiece should commence. The friends of the Poet were now the prevailing.power. They called for the Manager in their turn, demanding him to re tract the notification conveyed - in the placard. No Manager appeared ;•the'Afteipiece went on, but it was in dumb sheer. Showers of orange-peels were driven.at the performers. Mr. JJARLEY endeavoured to speak. but in vain ; nothing - could be heard but the most confused • tumult. • At length the curtain fell, but the audience sliewed,nO disposition to retire. The friends of the Anther' - presented a formidable phalanx in the front of the Pit. Their manoeuvres were not confined to dancing, jumping, and lighting —some of the benches were broken, and the frag.-! ments were flung upon the stage. A few Constables interfered at this Juncture, but the spirit of re,istance, was too strong to be appeased by their interference. After some scuffles they discontinued their exertions, leaving the field to their antagonists, who continued their noise to a late hour, when they gave it up from mere exhatption. It would be endless to describe the various incidents of this boisterous night, but there is one that should not be omittei, as it shows the sririt of persts'erance by which the Pit wa , ; actuated. Two, plentiful pails of water were emptied upon them from the upper tier of boxes, but it pi oduced no other effect than that of causing them to open their umbrellas, with which they endeavoured tO protect themselves from the cold'bath.. 'As the party did: not succeed in obtaining any pledge that the Piece should have another trial, we consider the result con clusive of its fate. COVENT GARDEN.—The Tragedy of Jane Shore was repeated last night to a very full audience. The, characters were cast in the usual manner, and the Play was received with every mark of favour.—A Grand Dramatic Spectacle, founded on DECKER'S Play of Old Fortunatus, was then produced, for the first time, called Fortunatus and his Sons; or, The Magpie Purse and Wishing Gap. This Piece opens with a contest between Fo rtune (Miss BEAUMONT), Virtue (Mrs. FAvetr), and Vice (Miss LooAx), con cerning the superiority of their powers, to determine which . ; they resolve to make an experiment on Per, tunatus (Mr. FARLEY) and his two Sons. The:firee Deity proposes to him a choice of six different gifts;, comprising her principal favours. Heselects rtc/ies,! and receives from the fickle Goddess a purse, which shall always present to his hand ten pieces of ' f old. Having relieved the necessities of his two sons, Ant pada and Andelochia (Mr. DtIkUSET and. Mr. Assor), SOI4 . his . :half-starved servant Shadow (Mr. BLASS OUARD), and secured them,. as he imagines, against the danger of want, by bestowing on them great heaps Of treasure, the traits of his nos ly-acquired tqFortunatus sets out to travel. He proceeds from p s nis, his plate of residence, to Alexandria, dealing authis wealth on his journey with all imaginable pro fusion. The fame of his aches precsdes, and pro r cures him an immedl'afe• audienee,, cri his . arrival,; with the Valiph'of tirid (Mr. Cuiison). • The latter expresses eiteeine:siilidiside to 'discover Fork tintna's secret, whailiewever, - itsipts•liatosing, it. The caliph qaeui by -way sif y iequiyalent z unlocks a i "casket, and productm celh)tbe wonderful virtue of Taiiith, in insiiiitli.74tecoitirliihing • any wish of its. *starer, he unfolds to rortuntdits.• "oil tilsrtane contrives by t - dettefotsk vide to get the cap tint his bead, and forthwith.proves tbesesith of its tributes, by by being, onlis,dosire, trin,sported back to his own house. His eldest the • - 1 4 eke, is wiped splendid battqtiet, to provide which, he had borrowed of his brother, the follower of Virtue, the only rem nant of their vast store which his imprudent extravas gance had left. He is afterwards con ,., yeki to the Island of Great Britain, and received at the Court of King Athetstan, who employs his beautiftil daughter Agrippina (Miss•FaorE) to search into the mysterious source of is endless affluence. Subdued by her charms and blandishments, he reveals the erriacy of the purse, contrary to the injunctions of Forti;ne, at the time it was given him, and is robbed of it by his fair seducer,. in * slumber, to which her fascinating music has lulled him. On awaking, struck withrage at the loss of his purse, which Agrippina had deli vered to hsr father, he. clasps her to his arms,, and wafts her by the steerage of his cap to Cyprus._ Alighting in an enchanted wood, the sscene of his first Meeting with Fortune,. the Princess, ready to faiat with fatigue and thirst, asks him to pull her some fruit offa tree which.tartds s in the abode of Vie. e ji m h s it, t astes t h e fruit., aa4 throws her da w n !sbme, of 'which she also . eats: His taps falls or, and his enruPttnieni,• at his fetlitese; puts rc on her hsai, and accisientsilly wis:selhersdf in England. In art instant she is theref.:eticumbortd, however, with most unseemly ornament,a pais. pfhoras, the fruit of her vicious indtilgence of appetite,. i'rtritintas sink ing under the disgrace of a similar, addition to his per son, and yielding to despair frtim the loss of his two ex traordinary possessions, is restored to Hope by Virtue. She points out to him a fruit is her abode, eating part of which removes the unnatural growth, and in spires the hope of recovering his purse and cap. In the disguise of a Physician, he gains admittance again to Athelstan's Court, cures his das*tscr, by adminis tering some of the same fruit, seizes the two precious objects of his solicitude, and, with the authoress of his misadventures in his arms, flies home once more. There he resigns the two sources of his care and trouble to his eldest son, who, tempted by the bribe, assists to force the reluctant and sorrowing Agrippina to his embraces. 4midothia opposes the attempt, fights with and disarms shaped°, and commits on the spot the preternatural gifts to.the flames. The four characters reappear in the Palace of Athelstan, Vir tue descends on the stage, and establishes her pre eminence and triumph by blessing the youth who ob served her precepts ssith the hand of the fair. Prin cess. The first Scene; of, an enchanted Wood, with doves ascending and descending, is very handsome, and was greatly admired. 'The distant Vie* of Cy prus is also very fine. The Piece contains other very splendid Scenes. °Vesture and Music aresvei y pretty, :though the former was in a great meascre last, from the .medley of discordant sounds issuing from the joyous folk . of the One-shilling Gallery. In the management of the Machinery, one cr two awk ward circirmstances occurred, but they were as rare as is usual cm-such occasions. in exceedingly neat , Par; de Trois was danced by the MiEscs Dasisvrr. The performance was in general excellent. The Piece is was announced for repetition of onacmoindsiroeurdabalpeprnl mer it. nnd promisei fait , to be a favourite. Santini's Virm.t.s.—YestetclayeveningtEs Theatre commenced its operations for the season, and imme diately after its daorswere Opened, Was crowded to excess in every quarter. The rush into the pit and galleries was so violent; that several accidents occur , redin both places before thii_spertators were.enabled to secure their seats. Those which happened in the pit,.. - are. such as will only occasion those..to whom they befel, a teirporai7 inconvenience ; but those which happened in the gallery - are of a much mode serious nature.
