TII Eilritza bIIUELY•r. SIC.

There is at least nothing c easorahle in this innovative; for it strikes us that Ole notion of the utility of that anim a l e shilpoi rm i s Ayr arotiqueed. and that the time (of ever it ex otedt whet. the stream produced the moral effects ; ,!ended by it has long sinew passed away.

The plot runs through some of the coarse and buffeting scenes of the original such as the encounter of the windmill and the flock of sherp, the adventures of the tills , the assault of the puppet-show, and souse of Soneho's adventurer wider his Biratiriati goverisor. ship. The incidents were, of course, accompanied by the illusions of Harlequin's wood, and souse of the changes wrought br that whimNical swtroment gave great delight. The scenery, the greater part by Gittatra, is capitally executed. The piece has, upon the whole. lather too few trick'. Mitch de. pestilence seems to have placed on the muse Of CERVANTES. I , appears erroneous, however, to trust to the grows of a great author for the story of a pantomime. The contingencies of that burlesque philoapphy from which the late authors of pantomime have attempted to borrow their story, are all missing on the stage ; all that can he borrowed of them for such a purpose is their mere adventures, generally the least sig uilicant part of the book, Ilse mere chaff, which. iu the oiigitial, unassumingly cliveltifn•s the richest grain of human sagacity. A pantomime slither does brat when he elevates tiome subj-. 01 of the Penn,' press up to his own standard, we should rather say. the standard of the galleries in holiday time.

This thesire re-commenced its seavoir last night, under very favourable auspices, su far as we could form may opinion of the lierrafalaaCra from a first glance iii the midst of the joyous revelry of holittiy I visitors. The hustle or the gallery folks was that what with finding etitertimintesit for themselves, ! and uccinisciously spoiling it upou others, the whole business of the stage was rendered c paratively doinb chew. We could, however, sufficiently per ceive, tiotwithirtanding the disadvantages In which the performers were exposed, that the Proprietor hes spared OD expense to render his theatre worthy of the 'patronage it has received, and that the per- I formers pewees all the qualifications which are or ! cessery to give effect to his maringenreid. The first perfornience was a hurletta called ' %mull Profits do great risings. The plot of this was taken (rain one of the ordinary events so often found in common life, where a famine-bunter is driven from his permit, and where a fair lady has was opportunity of choovieig her own lover, sod making arse of those disinterested snatches that often perpetuate domestic heppitiesos Mr. W.

The house was crowded to excess. TIM COBURG. The run effect of the Christina* festivities was equally observable at this Welshing little Theatre. There arm a similar overflow of the gallery at an early hour, a pit equ.slly full of formal critics. and a drew tier of hours. coma 11111 l g f4.lltotiobles more anxious to witness the performances of the evening thous to listen to the joyful"- ebullitions of the gallery "Gods." which were. however, moo un. •pdrin{ly heaped ispou them with the foyer of all Iltr thunders of " illyntmos" throughout tile whole of the erentitz.

Mr. lion Tit has already displayed his isialifica lions 'spoil the bards of the larger theatres. and with coreoderable credit to himself. It is uut the least merit of the minor theatres that they of late afford a school of appeal from the lager pasteutee establislimetits to the public, and under circum stances inure favourable to liar I incr. a n d perhaps equally go for the performer. It would be in vain. however, to enter into the merits of Mr. BOOTH'S performaoce last night—fir his efforts were paralys ed by the locessant noise f the gallery, mid the finest scenes with Lady Anne (Mu LovE). who is pleiiiiing actress, and the scene with Ki'.g !Peery (Mr. Gs LLOTT) and Richmond (Mr. 'l'.
