DittiItY.LANIC. . Another Tragedy, being the second produced this season at Old Drury, was brought out last night. under the tide of Catwalks, or the Brion . Chief. It was sub enitted to a good liosiseai full price. Mr. WALES,' is said to be the writer. As in the Tragedy of Rienxi, the prominent characters are sustained by Youwo and Miss PHILLIP& • THEATRE!. • S. _ The incidents are taken from a Welch Legend, com bined with historical facts, and there is a strict confor• miyy with respect to the customs. manners, and habits of the English and Welch in the thirteenth century. The story runs this: 'Llewellyn, King of Wales. falls in a conflict with the forces a Edward; but ere he dies, he beseeches his friend Caswallon (Mr. Ifoutto), a Noble Cambrian, to fly from the field of battle, and to save his daughter Eva (Jill.. Pitman) front the hands of the conquerors. He obeys his Monarch, and succeeds in bearing away the infant Queen of Cambria, whtim he rears up as his own daughter. Years toll on, and he is at length informed that his countrymen, under the command of two hardy Chiefs, Caradoc and Hoel, are ready to rise against their oppressors. Aware of their intention, Sir Roger de Mortimer (Mr. Ames) is en the alert with the forces of King Edward, &nation to defeat the designs of the mountaineers. Amongst those who serve under him, is Sir Armyn Fitz• Edward (Mr. Coons), a Knight who is perfectly ignorant, like many other Knights, of his origin. King Edward. however, admiring his gallant bearing in vat laws arduous enter. prises, has promoted his fottunes. Pits-Edward, in one of his rambles in the mountains,• has had the good fortune to rescue Eva from a situation of imminent danger. He is determined, before Mortimer mares his attack on the mountaineers, to visit Kea, with whose rank 'be is unacquainted, but whose manners and whose charms have enslaved him. He meets tier and her supposed father, Caswallon. and now. discovers that he is the son of the ancient patrio. tic chief, and that his beloved is the last of a royal line. Thescene which follows Is very good. Fitz. Edward refuses to assist his country against a king who raised him from wretchedness and po.. verty to rank and pouter, while, on the other side, the new found father repudiates his son as unworthy of the name of Cambrian. —Fitz.Edward, torn by contending passions —love, for his father and loyalty to the Prince who ;lad cherished him—retires. The conflict between the followers of Caswallon and the more dies chinned warriors . of Mortimer now takes place. The former are defeated. Caswallon and Eva retire to a rocky paw, where they are traced by Fit* Edward, who bisulfate to watch over the safety of Eva, as her guardian angel. Here he encounters his , father, Im presses on hini the necessity of subniissioo, and assures him of the cleniercy of Edward. But the sturdy patriot rejects all terns; and Fitz Edward, conscious that he could, by his interest with the King, procure his pardon, calls on the troops to advance and , seize him. Ilia •is also • good scene melodramatically excellent. Caswallon indignantly refuses to surrender. The entreaties of his won are fruitless, and the pletdings of Eva are vain; but when she commands him, as his Queen, to obey, be who has no other feeling save the love of his country and of its rightful Sovereign, submits. They are conveyed to Con way Castle, where Mortimer has his head quarters. This chisf.l tain becomes enamoured of Eva, and hopes by an alliance with her to balffe his master King Edward, and to ascend the throne of Wales. The more easily to accomplish his purpose, he orders Caswallon sad.Eva.to be separated,a command which Is effected with much difficulty,: but not until Caswallon, who sus pects the purpose of Mortimer, furnishes Eva with a phial of poi. son, and darkly hints to her that she should, if her fate happened to be balanced between death and dishonour, boldly to embrace the former. Meantime orders are given for Caswallon 's death, and Fitz-Edward is directed to be kept in custody. He, however, escapes, has an interview with the King at Chester. and arrives in 'lime to prevent the execution of Caswallon, and to effect the Ms eomSture of Mortimer; but he is too late to save the life of Eva. The hateful address of Mortimer, and theapproaching destruction of Caswallon, the only father she bad ever known, drive her to desperation. She swallows poison, and her death ems in twain the heart-strings of her devoted follower. It will ea ity be I.e-ceited. front the above.sketch of. the plot, that sevetal' or the scene. ate edict:l..oJ to excite mrre V an ordinary interest; and in these- scenes - .he differen • pet fin met • zee ed themselves to the utmost.

THE COl.-OSSEUNI. • —sis- - This building, which has so long attracted notice and excited inquiry, is about to be opened to the pub. lie, and s when every department is cornyleted, will, no doubt. sut pass every thing of the kind yet attemp . eJ in any cm ntry. The original plan tir the bnilding, we bel eve, as simply the consttuction of a paonrams on a stand seal-, and the spiiite I proprietor justly con. ceived that he could not do better than begin .with 11. e capital of his native country, which is not only the largest in Europe, but exhibits more objects of vast un dertaking and intrinsic vain- than any in the woi hi.— With this view, dating these'thiee or lour simmers, he had his tent pitched on the summit of St. Paul's, and the sitenity ot the morning, and while the city was yet unobscured by 'the sin ke which, • during the day, is poured f nth from ha'f a million of chins , neys, was occupied iti tracing the outlines of the city, and the prominent ot.jects of the country for at Last twenty miles round. This being complete", 'it naturally occulted that the,space around the build ing might be laid out in such a manner as t form an additional attiartion to the public, and for this put. p..se he planned a great variety t f uildings and winks of different kinds, is hich ate in the cout se of briny corn. pleted, and which in a few we ks v ill probably excite more interest than the principal object—ibe panorama itself. This is the only part of the undi 'taking that is finished, sod consequently . our remarks must be chiefly confined to it. It extends round the whole of the In: terror of the building, and the canvas on wl•ich it is drawn is said to be between one and two acres in ex • ' tent. The spectator is supposed to he placed in the lantern of St. Paul's, and has a vies, ot London, such as it appears in a very clear day about noun. :.Tlis , te who have not had the good luck to sue the'en_iiyinal in a fine day, and at the height of SOO feet above tfie sat. face of the earth, will be asennished 'and delighted with the imposing scene which this panorama pre tots to view. A space of nearly seven miles:ciliate, coveted. with houses and shops of very ,desc, iption, churches and spires, walelrouses, dec or, pubiic buildings,pal aces, &c. interspersed with the finest •quales in the world. and traversed by the winding Thames coveted w.th thousands of ships, boats, and vessels • f almost ail. sizes And detuniiiratinns, can hardly fail to excite ad.'. l uishtik nt even in the most callous observer. The river, with it• six bridges, forms the :sroit con:, ictima feature in the eaten view. The ships beove London:bridge. the Mot uo.ent, with the thick cluver • f church spires mound St Pau.

Ihe buildings and streets i. theiniasediate neighbourhood are so distinctly seen, and sit correctly delineated, that almost evil) , in leideaP house , and street may he t covized at or.c-. The two towels of St. Paul's. with the roof iinmediatily below the spectator, are given w.th the utmost c , rtectness.— The bridges al.o ale excellent, aid the seen try in she hack grorend,uith a few exceptiohs, deserve great pia se.
