The gun—brig, the Steerreraer. and Earl Craven's boat. wefe dressed in National colours, and placed in a situation to be seen trona the Paviliiin. BT eight o'cock the whole town was in motion, the Marine Parade was lined with company, the bal conies were full of beauty and fashion, and all the telescopes were in use. At ten o'clock the gun brig fired a loyal salute, which was answered by Earl Craven's boat; His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales's band, in full uniform, played on the lawn in the front of the Pavilion; and on the outside of the railing, the carriages formed a complete line, with the Ladies' sitting on the boxes, surrounded by a great number of Gentle.hen on horseback, viewing the lawn in the front of the pavilion, where all the Royal Dukes were walking. At eleven o'clock, Her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte of Wales arrived at the Pavilion from Worthing, in one of Her Royal Father's carriages, drawn by four beau tiful blood bays. Her Royal Highness was dressed in white muslin, trimmed with point lace, vandyked at the edges ; and wore a Leghorn Gipsey hat, with wreaths of ;mall roses round the edge of the leaf, and a second row round the crows. Her Royal Highness looked most charmingly, and was received at the grand entrance by Her Royal Father, and Her Royal Uncles, who emulated her to the Chinese anal traent, w i th which she appeared g rea tl y delighted. The Pavilion was surrounded on all sides by a m •it numerous concourse of spediatois, who waited anxi ously to see the Royal Party proceed to the ground where the grand review was tot place. At o'clock, a Royal salute was fired from the batteries ; and immediately after, two of the Royal c arriages came out; the first drawn by four bays, with two postilions dressed in blue-striped jackets. an br ovrn beaver hats ; in this carriage were Viscount and Viscountess Melbourne, Lord Erskine. and Mr. D ilmy ; in the second. Her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte of Wales, attended by the Dow ager Lady De Clifford and another Lady ; the car riage was drawn by six bay horses; after which followed His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, moonted on a beautiful iron.grey charger. His Royal Highness was most superbly dressed in the I hussar unifurui. and wore a diamond belt, with a diamond crown on his breast; the feather in His Royal Highness's cap was most superb, encircled with diamonds round the bottom, and fixed in a diamond loop ; never did we witness His Royal Hightvss in better health and spirits. The accoutrements of his charger were most superb, being covered with several valuable white shells. His Royal Highnrs the Disk* of York rode on the right cf the Prince. and His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence on the left ; the remainder of the Royal Cavalcade consisted of Their Royal High nesses the Dukes of Cambridge and Kent, Count Beaujolais, the Marquis of Headfort, Earls Berkeley, Barrysnore, Craven, and Dursley ; Lords Edward, Charles, and A. Somerset; Gen. Hugonin, Major Watley, Mr. Mellish, and several other gentlemen, each with one servant following. They proceeded slowly to the ground, where the troops were formed in a line, which was on the beautiful hills. at the four Mile Course, which command a grand view of the sea. At within half-a.roile from the ground, His Royal Highness, the Duke of York, galloped up to the line, which extended upwards of a mile, and passed them, without any form. They were placed in the following order : —On the right, the Horse Artillery; next, the First Dragoon Guards; then, the Third, or King's Own ; the Cheshire iulantrY; the Berkshire ; the Second Somerset ; the South Hants ; the South Gloucester, and Fourth Troop of the Fourteenth, or Duchess of York's Light Dragoons, and the loot Artillery. which composed the Inc At belt-past twelve the whole of the Royal Party arrived on the ground. and took their at stion in the centre of the line ; Her Royal High ness the Princess Charlotte of Wales's carriage stood just behind her Royal lather. As soon as the Royal Party had taken their station, a my* salute of 2t guns was fired from the Horse Artillery ; the ranks formed into open order, when the Royal Potty went down the front of the liar, returned by the rear, and retook their station in the centre, whets the whole of the line passed in ordinary and quick time, the different bands playing 4 , God race Me King." after which they formed the line and fired a Jest-J.-fore, which was followed by three cheers, the bands playing 4, God moo Me Kiog." —Sane ships passing at the time, received sig. eel from the telegraph ; they immediately fired a royal salute, and hoisted the Royal Standard.— There was also a sham fight on the sea, with small boats. which had a very pretty effeS. The day was uncommonl7 fine, and not one accident occurred to damp the joy manifested on this happy occasion. A good deal of reit th was occasioned by the firing ; several of the horses that had been taken from the carriages having broken loose, and run in all direc tions, leaving many of the company fixed in their cairiagei, until the horses were caught. At half past throe the Royal Party returned to the Pavilion, where His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales's Band was playing to receive them. Her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte of Wales, alter partaking of some refreshments, walked on the lawn with Her Royal Uncles. who seemed to vie with each other in attention to her. His Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge danced with her on the lawn, and at six o'clock she returned to Worth ing. At eight o'clock the Royal Party ; the Duke of St. Alban's ; the Marquis of Headfort ; Earls Berkeley, Craven, Dursley, Bathurst, and Barry more; Viscount Melbourne; Lords Petersham, Erskine, and Charles. Edward, aoil Arthur Somer set, and several Military Officers, sat down to dinner. The Pavilion was most brilliantly lighted, and the Sloth Gloucester band played on the Steyne. Toe illuminations were splendid ; amonsgt the most coo 'pietism in devices were D ona ld son 's library, with I'. W. the star in the centre, surmounted by the plume ; Marine Library, P. W. with the plume ; Mr. Barfield, linen-draper, in North -street, the plume, with festoons of lamps; Cooper's china shop, the corner of Princess-place. P.

Last night, a new Comedy, in three ad's, intitled, Errors k xc ept t d, was produced at the Haymarket Thesre. It is written by Mr. T. Di ODIN. to whom the public are already so mach indebted for much elegant amu•easent. The Characters and Fable ate as follow : !rank W00d14.4..... Mr. Young Ceestsdore G•.rr y Mr. CAM .....,. s Lro v er render Mr.errinkt 0.1 tle.osrrly Mt. Decamp Gab.iil Invoice • • • Mr. Cartes Mr. t.i.ton Mr. flievialt Wait sort Samuel. Mr. Male. Moja . .. Mrs. Litchtt-id Mrs Hal Mrs. Liston Betty it,roes F.imoq Freflese Fronk Woodland is an amiable young man, with an embarrassed estate. and in love with Sy/Ids Con roy, a young lady of large fortune. This Lady has two other suitors. Mr. Grtselrh who holds Frank Woodland', estate, and Mr. Yerditt, a foppish but persevering attorney, both of whom she dislikes ; the latter for having broken a pro- mice of marriage to Mrs. flail, a widow in busi ness, who meets and circumvents her faithless Law yer at every opportunity he takes to address bliss Sylvia. Commodore Convoy and Mr. Convoy are brothers, and iiint guardians to their niece Sylvia. An attempt is made to rob the former, but is de tested by Fran 4 Woodland, and the robber proves to be Gabriel larder, a dishonest speculator, who has stripped Frank Woodland of his inheritance, but is reduced to this deperate extremity by losses. Old Mannerly has been a village schoolmaster, but is reduced to toil as a gardener. by the oppression of his lanllord Gormley, who sends the old man's son, TOM 9larnrrly , ta sea, on a false charge of pecula tion, because the youth had refused to miry Grans. ley's neglected mistress, and Tons had resented the 'Sfwere's ill usage of Fanny Freiman, an interest- ' ing girl, between whom and Toms there is a recipro cal affection. Deny Barnes, a mist communicative landlady, is the cousin and protectress of Fanny Free. mon : they bath reside at the village inn, where sr viral of the events of the play take place. The scenes in this inn are much enlivened by Rieharel, a rustic waiter, whore blundering " Errors" pro duce some material incidents. Ronk Woodland, having rather warmly expostulated with Growls, On his treatment of the tenantry, a quarrel ensues, and Frank is taken into custody by the vindiaive Squire, for an assault. Sylvia Casey at this time confesses her regard for Frank, and asks her Guardi.ua's per mission to marry him ; but aa nysivogne ensues, by which the Cemmudore supposes she means Gialriel Invoice instead of Frank, and, of course, refuses to give his niece to a highwayman. The imprison ment of Frank seems to strengthen this supposition, till an eclairs:gement takes place, by which every thing is set right. Sy/eta weds Frank, Tom marries Fanny, the Lawyer keeps his promise to the Widow Hall, the Squirt is obliged to receive the acquittance money for the mortgage of Frank's estate, and some few "Ernes Eacepied,' all the parties are suitably recompensed. _ _ _ . - Of these materials Mr. DIBDIN has composed an entertaining Comedy. The scene abounds in va riety of incident, the language is chaste and un aided, and the sentiment enlivened with much good point. Its spirit and bustle constantly fix the attention, and the interest never subsides. The last ail is decidedly the best ; the Author has very ju diciously reserved his strength for it, and it displays much excellent ageivelue. Mr. Youno and Mrs. Lisestrist.co sustained their respective parts with spirit. Mrs. Gibes was ad interesting Rustic; and Mr. Lirrovi, as an honest, simple servant, wis inimitable. Mr. issvcsr T, as the Comm dere, was one of those honest. rough beings, Nature intended him to personify. Indeed, k is almost invidious to particularise any per former; they all exerted themselves with the happiest success. The Theatre never boasted a more elegant audience, or a more crowded one. The Comedy was received throughout with the most unbounded applause ; and when announced by Mr. Fa weave for a second representation, WAS hailed with repeated irate.. The Prologue was delivered with judgment and excellent em phasis, by Mr.Youmo ; and Mrs.LITCII/11ELD 'puke the Epilogue in the best style. PROLOGUE. written by Mr. C a Drsorr, Jun.
