DMURY-LANE.—After the Tragedy of Jane Shore, in, which Mr. WALLAcx played the part of Gloster, a new Comic Pantomimic Piece, under the title of The North West Passage ; or, Harlequin Esquimattt, was produced at this Theatre. The popular subject from which the banding derived.its title claimed for it a favourable greeting on its first appearance, and the three or four first scenes argued well of its ultia mate success. In these the field of action'is laid on the spot where our brave and hardy tars have so re-' cently been encountering danger with undaunted 'spirit, namely, the frozen regions of the North. The scenery of this portion of the piece consisted of a representation of the Frozen Sea, with the Dis• covery Ships at anchor; the northern phenotnenon of the crimson snow, with a view of the Prince Regent's Straits, and the Hecla at anchor, was beau tifully executed, and highly applauded, and the in• terest of the Piece was well kept up ; but here the ~.. Sovereign of the Deep and the Geiius of the North, having each exerted his power in the protection of their favourite, and transformed a young Esquimana couple into Harlequin and Columbine, and raised up their opponents, Pantaloon and Clown, the Halley quinade commenced, and all relation or connection with the North West Passage was lost. The Clown pilfered as adroitly, Harlequin jumped with his usual activity, Columbine danced as gracefully, and Pan-. faloon tumbled, rolled, and limped with as much agility as displayed by any of those celebrated cha racters on any former occasion. The changes and: transformations of men and things attempted were even more numerous than usual. Some of the tricks and changes were very good ; and the Pantomime Was received favourably throughout, and givenl out for ,this evening amidst loud Cheering. The House was exceedingly crowded. • Cover-GAstneN.—The Play of Wallace was fol lowed at this House list night by a new Pantomime, founded on the well-known legend of Friar Bacon, and called Harlequin and Friar Bacon; or the Brazen Head.. The story of the Pantomime is made up of the contest between Friar Bacon and his rival, Van dernzast, the German Necromancer. It opens with an attempt, on the part of Vandermast,.to steal the celebrated Brazen Head. Vanderneast is foiled by 'the superior power of Bacon, who, negligent himself of watching his treasure, suffers it to be broken; and the Spirit of the Head, as a punishment for his neglect, deprives him of his magic power, and con fers it, with the character of harlequin, on a fa voured individual. The other characters of the Pan tomime, consisting of Columbine, Pantaloon, Cloven, and Lover, are also created by the power of the Spirit of the Head and the Sorcerer Vandermast.— The Pantomime, or rather Harlequinade, then com mences, and the usual contest between the motley hero and his enemies follows ; and terminates also, as usual, in the discomfiture of vice and folly, and the reward of virtue. The scenery of this Piece is beau tiful, and extremely well executed, especially the retreat of Friar Baton, the Palace of the Senses, a view of Llangollen, in North Wales, a view of Dub lin, and the concluding scene, the Temple of the Brazen Head. Several of the changes are also good, amongst which we remarked the change from alarge Gothic hall to the Temple of the Senses, a bathing machine to a safety-coach, a large packing case to a post-chaise, which, by the ingenuity of the Clown, is made to move rapidly by steam, until the boiler (tea kettle) being i overcharged, bursts, and the whole ma chine, with its contents, the Clown, Pantaloon, and. exquisite lover of Columbine, is blown up. The Har- Sequin Of ELLAN the Columbine of Miss E. DENNETT, BARNES'S Pantaloon, and Gni ALpis Clovn, were excellent, as usual. Young GRIMALDI was the Dandy Lover, and gave an excellent-picture of an exquisite. He was much applauded, and gave a woof that he possesses- a considerable share of his father's peculiar talent. The Piece was, on the whole, well received by a very crowded House. In the year 17b3, a Pantomime, under the title of Fs tar Bacon, was produced at Covent-Garden Thea tre; but the one now given it the same House, is founded upon a different part of the story of t hat celebrated necromancer of " Days of Yore." ENGLISH OPERA-MDSE.—SOIREES A MITSANTI The Entertainments produced at the Lyceum last night, were exhibited under the license of the Maga trates, and comprised three parts; the first of which was a little Non-dramatic Piece, displayed by sha dows, the starting of a coach frdm the Golden Cross, the journey, with the remarks of the passengers. To this succeeded A Trial, or cause heard before the Magistrate of Tidlingtoff—Footlight, the Manager of the Theatre Rural, versus Punch's Puppet Shew: A succession of Glees and Songs followed, by Messrs:- BROADHURST, KENT, J. SMITH, GOULDEN, PfItL LIPS, HUMAN, Miss I. STEVENSON, and Miss.Geoacre. After which, a sort of Lecture on Living Heads, in which the celebrated Doctor Faustus visits London, and is introduced by his familiar Mephostopholis into a laboratory at midnight, where appear, in various large bottles, the heads of Lady Midnight, Don Gio vanni, and several other ludicrous characters, one of which, as a Manager of a Theatre, gave some good imitations of FAWCETT and FARREN, BLANCHARD and EMERY, &c. The Piece closes by the Devil's re quiring Faustus's presence. The third Part, under the title of Living Drollery, introduced a petite Piece in verse, under the title of Guy Fawkes. In this the. characters are sustained by children, who were re markably effective. The dialogue, however, was car-. ried on by invisible Childress of a larger groteth.— These Entertainments will, no doubt, .attract all ju venile Play-goers.----His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, with a large party, and a number: of distin guished persons, were among the audience, which was very fashionable and numerous. Considering, in deed, how recently this Entertainment has been arl , *raised, the House was throughout uncommonly full. 0..... , ...a11Ymi. Mr. KemnLE.—Letters have been received from,' this Gentleman, announcing his safe arrival at Lau, sanne. The Public cannot but be interested in the welfare of a person to whom they have been so much indebted for refined amusement, awl the general im provement of the British 'Stagei : • . t •• . . • • • A Meetitit a the Inlia4itittiti of .Guildford .was Etinvened by. the MAIO*, and held in the Council Chamber that toWn, on Wednesday, (Or die per : pose of presenting a Loyal Addriss to his Maikerv. ! The Meeting was most muneroul 4ncl respectable,; anif.the Matron (W: &wit." &q . ) having taken, the Chair, t.e Toten Clerk kad the Reqpisitipo; to which was added the Appointuiritt or the Meeting by the Maxon, " for the purpose of signing the Ad: dress," which followed, and which was brought to the Meeting already engrossed on skins, for mere sig natures.—The Address having been read by the k, Mr. NIELETT rose, and observed, that this was a momentous question, and upon such a question differ ences of opinion would prevail. On this occasion, nine-tenths of the town did not go with the Address ( Cheers), and he considered it to be a libel upon the greatest portion of his Majesty's subjects— ( Cheers ).—He, for one, would not yield to any man in loyalty to the Sovereign and Constitution. Me. Niblett then proceeded to comment on the most offensive part of the Address. It was said a large portion had embraced revolutionary principles.—" I deny it,' said he, ee and I call on the Requisitionists to point out one of them,"-- Mr. SHRUBS here rose, and saiel the passage did not allude to persons in the town. Mr. Nter.Ext continued.—lt was also stated, that the Constitution had been attacked by a *wicked and seditious Press. That Press, he contended, had been the salvation of the Country, and without it the Con, stitution would have been destroyed. Then it was said that his Majesty and the sacred persons of the Church are revile-1. By whom, he asked, had they been reviled ? Had they not brought it upon them selves ? It was also said, the liberties of the country were in danger. He was sorry to say it was so, through the lolly of the People not coming forward earlier to prevent their rights being fiittered away. The Address contained. expressions of attachment and fidelity, which he hoped they all possessed ; but it would be also necessary to teach Ministers they were to do their duty between the King and his People—(Cheers).:--The Address declared, that it had been attempted to undermine the Constittoo9 by wicked persons. It was not by the PeOple that it: was undermined, but by the Ministers._ Mr. Niblett pro ceeded to animadvert on other objectionable pas-' sages* in the proposed Address. All were, he said, willing to support the government in Church and State ; hut Englishmen, though too apt to be led, would not be driven out of their rights. He then pro ceeded to read an amended Address, when The MAYOR rose, and stated, that the object of the Meeting was only to sign the Address which had been already prepared. Mr. NIBLETT observed, thatit did not become any nine or ten Gentlemen to prescribe an Address to as many hundreds. Mr. Alderman NBA LDS then rose, and proposed that the amended Address be now read; on which the MAYOR immediately-left the Chair, and, with several of -the Requisitionists, after hastily signing the original Address, walked out of the Council Chamber, amidst great confusion, and tries of " Shame!" &c. The rejected Address was almost demolished in its passage out of the room. A Gentleman called out, that the Address had 'been delivered at a dinner, to a County Magistrate, by a person high in office. Mr. Alderman NEALDS was now almost unani mously called to the Chair, amidst great applause ; and the amended Address having been read, Mr. &faun begged to explain the tircumstanee of his having signed the Requisition. He had thought it necessary for their ancient Borough to address his Majesty. It had been usual for them to have Addresses *prepared in the manner in which the first Address had been produced—( Cries of " Never, never !")—He considered it like the appoint ment of a Committee. Mr. Ntatere bbserved, le it was a self-appointed ComMittee• # , Mr. Ma arra (another Requisitionist) expressed his sorrow that he was present at the commences ment of the business ; and, alluding to an observa tion respecting the manner in which the Loyal Ad dress had beeu.obtained, he declared, that although he was not personally acquainted with any cf his Majesty's Ministers, yet he had thought it his duty to step forward at the present crisis, and was ready to.take on himself the blame that might attach to any appearance of irregolaritys Goo forbid that any man should put his band so the Address unless his heart.went along with it l Lie (Mr. Martyr) felt himself in ,'peculiar situation ;. he had just taken an oath 'of allegiance to George IV. and pledged, him self to defend him against all foes-- . (" SO we will all, without an oath !" exclaimed many ).—The.Ad dress was, be thought, completely guarded against anything that.rnight give offence-1A laugh).—He did not find fault with any man's opinion, but begged leave to have one of his own. He implored them tohe united--(" We are, Vyou will burn the Address," ands laugh).—Let us rally round thesThrone, and hold fast to our blessed Constitutioe—( Cheers).— Let us adhere to the words of the wise man=-" My son, fear the Loll% and the King, and meddle not with those that are given to change." The Learned . Gentleman then added—" We seem to beiretty well agreed"—(Great laUghing).—lf there was anythipg offensive in the original Address, 40 thought it might have been omitted, and the iginaindei reserved.. . Mr. R. taturtit said, they had been called toge ther to shew their loyalty ; in that town, he trusted there was not a man who was pot loyal ; while he, however, read the words, ee Fear GOD and honour the King," he also reed, ," Husbands love your wives, and be not bitter against them ;for what Clop bath joined together let no man put asunder."— ' Therefore 'he would propose they should also cons gratulab their Queen, upon her deliverance from the basest and most rile conspiracy that ever stained the page of history. Tney should be loyal to their Queen, I as .well as their . King; and though -it had been said ' there was no need •to consult " petty rradesmen,7 yet he for one would lover be. deterred from speak ing his senfments. The Rev.
