APRIL 9. James's Church, in Piccadilly. Since the' present v enerable and excellent Bishop of London ascended the sane pulpit, with the same view to do good ; our Church has produced nothing of snch apparent importance as Dr. Andrewes's illustration and vindication of her Liturgy. His discourses excited universal consideration in the metropolis, and were fashionably and numerously attended. • Feb. 8, lieos. ONESIMCS. 110 I'AL CIRCU,s; (EASTER MONDAYS) SVPERINTENDED B) MR. ELLI.STON. Your Pattonage is our Support. Motto exhibited by the Circus Company, I'o enter Sadler's Wells, or Astley's Amphitheatre, or the Itoyal Circus, especially on what ate called holidays, is to enter into the temple of English pastime; and he who repairs thither, go when he may, should make up his mind to be for one night an Englitliman. Full of the good Old good-humour of his forefathers, he most laugh vr ith those who laugh,chuckle at many a rough joke, pleasantly overhear the observations made around him, and put up with occasional elbnwings, together with some few treads co his toes. If he cannot do this, he . .voule do better to reuraia,at home. Affectation finds here wo indulgence. Here teigns the majesty of the people, which, if judicious deference be pain to it, is infinitely more tolerable than many other de scriptions of majesty. Yes; one must learn to bear, in such a place* The smoke of lamps, The pent-up breath of an unsavory throng More, however, remains to be done. One must, as well as "' the self-complacent actor" himself delight to enjoy The slope of faces, from the floor to the rolf, As if one master spring controul'd them all ► Itelax'd into an universal grim! This evening's entertainments (Monday, April 3) having keen announced as got up " Under the immediate superintend ance and direction of Mr. Elliston, of the late Theatre•Royal, Drury. Lane," numbers of persons crowded early to the scene of exhibition, and the pit and galleries were completely filled before six o'clock. A new Pantomimienl Prologue, containing,, among other matters, complimentary allusions to the new Man . lger, badly delivered by Mrs. Hatton, introduced us, very to our old favorite 51r. Johannot. Ilis song of Easter Monday, or Dicky Awl's trip to Greenwich, was aptly colt teived, and most successfully given by this excellent comic singer. Of the meto•dratnatic spectacle entitled Albert and .4 dela, which was next presented to view, it is not possible to speak in terms of high commendation. There is something of plot, and even nnder-plot, about this piece: hut, perhaps, owing to the restrictions to which theatrical representation is confined at these places, it failed to interest the feelings of the audience; and, however splendid in scenery, scarcely retained their uttentioa as spectators. Its best merit consisted in its developing, though not with sufficient force, practices of Inqui sition Tribunals. Many of its processions were really striking. Whether this was occasioned by the mob in the Ride, who could with difficulty crowd themselves upon the stage. so it was, however, that " the good people" were not fully satisfied with the Horsemanship of the night. It was contrived, there fore, by means of a truly Comic Song in Character, or the Irish Cabin, by Mr. Nessus, to keep up the play of mirth. The Musical Department, to say truth, reflects credit on Mr. Sander son; who is here Composer, and Leader of the Band. Now came the display of Harlequin's &source ; or The Witch of Ludlam. Considering this pantomime as " partly new, and partly comprising the most favorite scenes" of two preceding pantomimes, ice composition is far from di:reputable to the taleuts of Mr. Giroux. Jun, It was here we saw Mr. Eller said Mr. Montgomery to their full advantages both of them were as deservedly, as repeatedly, applauded, The admirers of kicking and thumping in particular—when applied to any back or breach saving their own !--awere frequently convulsed with merriment, and sometiifies gaping. with astonishment at the athletic and pugilistic feats of Pantaloon, and the clown. Girtmx still wants effect as Columbine: her movements are 'mot sufficiently s)lphiad, and her agility boi too mach avrkard /tins. THE NATIONAL IMGISTER. Why did not Mr. Elliston contrive to appear, on this night, in phopria persona'? Certainly he might have delivered some species of introdoctory prologue, instead bf the pantotnimical prologue which was recited; without, as we think, any degra: dation df his dramatic char:Atter. Let him not slight this hint. Shrfuld it he found that, While he does not disdain to solicit the public cash, he cannot condescend to consult the public whim, reccipti of the Royal Circus will soon whew him the effect of popular opi9ion. " Those whti live to please must," as Dr. .1 ohnson formerly wrote, and as Mrs. Hatton said, " please" if they wish to live." The inlerior of the :loyal Circus is considerably iMprofed and beautified ; and, w lib judicipus attention to its various ar rangement, the present Manager, 1611 find it no unprofitable speculation. Since Ms% Ellirton engages himself for the "m -eanly" of its performances, it is to b e regretted, he will soon learn, that some means are not tried to exclude the lowest order of prostitutes, accompanied, as they are, by the sharpers and pickpockets who cohabit with them! I Are not these pests admitted 'nosily by orders, and by orders only THEsrit.
