in in the appearance of a catpet the approach of some signal danger. He coajares up for'his protec lion in front of his cell the golden apple tree of the garden of Hesperus, with its guardian dragon, and then lies down to his repose. The celebrity of iriur BUMS, as a conjurep having extruded . far and near, has aroused the jealousy of • German necromaticer, named rasiderinast (Mr. Beaten), who attempts to aseaseinate the Friar as he firs sleeping, but is prevented by the watchful guardian of the llesperisit tree, and completely foiled by the frear.who awakes and turns against him the wrath of Ilercules, whom he had raised for the 14iar's sle struction. This adventure over. Adonis Fribbk (Mr. (;RISI A LDI, jug.), page to King Henry, sum mons the Friar to display his magic powers before the King. at Morley Castle. and the Friar having charged a goblin, of the Will-o'-the wisp kind, to bewilder the page, by leading through bog and mire on his way hick, sets forward on his journey to meet the King, by the speedy conveyance of a flying cloud. Arrived at Morley Castle. and introduced to the Ktneir presence, the Friar inuispotie the whole court into the Palace the Senses, it most sumptuous scene, where a g sup of female statues in the diitence. by a touch of the Friar's wand, is converted into a company of beautiful dancing females, and eve, other luxury which erossorl gratification can &seat is in succession ormineed. As a hewn for this ea* ertion ref his skill, she Pryer solicits the King': sp. plural of the moon to Young Morley (Mr. Ehtaß), eith 3lrlissent (Miss E. DEN IMF r) ; but the ce mmony is interrupted when noon the point of h e _ Mg performed by Adonis Fribbk, who claims the bride in virtue of a former promise of the King, and whose pretensions are backed by Vanderinast. A cootest ensues, in which the Frier, having enve loped tar rest of the company in darkness, hears off the lovers on a fiery cloud. A change of the scenery discloses the interior of the Friar's cell, where are seen his celebrated magical Brazen Head, and Isis man Niles ('dr. GRIMALDI). sleeping near, ins stwd 01 witching it. The Friar returns sccomps teed by the lovers, and the time when the Heed wits to speak, and crown Ins labours by infortunig him of his fate, having pissed during Ins riot to Morley Castle, the Head falls, with e tremendous noise, lions the pedestal, which is changed into a magnifi cent pasilltoti, fr•on which issues the Spirt( ft/ the Brazen Head, awl transforming Vandermost, Young Morley. Alelissent, Fribble the Page, and Ni/es the friar's man, into Pantaloon, Har lequin, Columbiae, Loner, and Clowe, condemns them to the usual wanderings and vicissitudes of those popular dramatis persona, if they may so be of the Ita•letptiii4de, which are to be pro longed until the Brazen Head, which he causes to disappear, shall agent he found. The ever• varying bustle mod activity of pantomime then succeed-, and is carried no through a long series of beautiful and contlitually changing scenery, accompanied with • rapid succession of surprising and iu gerdous inechsuical traineformatiOns, and emu/. ing personal m etamorphoses. The following are among the changes which appeared to excite the most particular notice, snit obtained the greatest Share of appleusE; A mithing-machine at Bliglitoil into a patent safety coach, in which Harlequin and Columbine set off for town; and a cheat into a new e , diligence to London in five hours, which the Clown, by means of a tinker', stove, a boiling tea-kettle, sad the leg of • jack-boot fur a funnel, converts into a steam conveyance which whirls along himself, Fan/a/Jon, and the Lower, with estonishing rapidity, and deposits them• in an amusing variety of three thine, by exploding on its arrival at the Elephant tied Castle. A litgate pump, lighted up with gas, which the Clown extinguishes by draw/tog off, and swallowing es he drinks at the pump, thereby acquir ing a species of gaseous dropsy, which is cured by tapping him to draw (blithe gas, and consuming it by applying a light to the end of the pipe with which the operation is performed. A show-board at • snuff-shop, through which Harlequin leaps, into • snuff-canister, from which issues • young Hi4hlander (Master LONRHO RST) who was encored and rap turously applauded iu a short song, which he exe cuted very cleverly, though evidently labonring loader considerable embarrassment. A ri ttt i t tg table, at a Welsh ale-house, into • small carriage, drawn by four lively goats, in which the fugitive pair escape, their pursuers following in a barrow, drawn by a large fat hog; Holyhead bight-house iuto a Dublin packet, ia full sail ; and a cask of whiskey at Dunitybrook Fair into Pat Grim's whiskey iihop.. The scenery equalled in beauty of design and justness and spirit of execution the heat specimens winch even the spirit and liberality of the managers of this theatre have lately exhibited. The vire' of Oxford ; of Brighton, near the cliffs; of the Yale of Llangollen. in North Wales ; of the entrance into the Bay of Dublin, and of Donnybrook Bridge, excited particular attention, end called forth repeat ed expressions of delight mud gratification. The business of the piece, and the peregrieetious of the wanderers, terminsie lies the discovery of the Braaten Bead among the stupendous basaltic colonnade, of the Giant's Causeway, which is transfornied into a magnificent temple. The agility of Mr. ELLA R , Ms Harlequin ; the graceful dancing of Miss E. Data NETT, in Columbine; the resistless drollery and surprising feats of GRIMALDI. in the (lows ; and the activity sf his von, in the Lover, merited and obtained the acknowledgment end approbation of the audience in frequent and enthusiastic plau dits. There were several good leaps, which were very neutly executed; and the extensive and compli cated noichincry was worked with a facility end pre cision winch we never remembered to have witnedi ed on the first performance of any previous ne w pantomime. The of the piece was coma mensurate with the pies sod expense bestowed on its preparation ; and it Inds fair, in our opinion, to reward the liberal and meritorious exertions of the Minager and Proprietors with a profitable run.— it was given oat for repetition until further notice with universal approbati tttt t notwithstentling the more uohiy pert of the audience had been thrown into an ill humour in one of the latter *cones, by the ssion of some song which they seemed to have expected.

A new species of lecturi nu heads followed, in which some good imitotions of popular performers were introduced. The whole was ' concluded with a ['impel Show called "GuyFutrkesr" lit which the tiny performers (the tallest animal did not exceed four feet) strutted the stage with great dignity. the rlsitlngue being delivered by other per formers behind the scenes. The house was very respectably filled, and sit the conclusion some dis approbation was expressed, but upon the whole the plaudits were predominant. ADELPIII. Last night there way produced at this eleg.mt little theatre an inimitable pantomime, founded on Dr. Syntax's Journey to London, gut up u►►der the supertntesidence or Signor PAU 1.0. This gen tleman hue made a vast de d of the story without departing from the meaning of the author; it was extremely well received by a most crowded house. From the pantomime having lasted until a very late ham, we are enable to give a sketch of the plot this day. We have nit doubt but it will have a long run. PEDESTRIANISM.

But however legally or peaceably, and with whatever good Mien ' s they might exercise this theme just right and privilege. they knew that unfoitunotely there was • party in this country who were disposed, or rather determined, to misrepresent their motives and to censure their conduct. and who never ceaard to vilify and abuse every man who presumed to attend coy public meeting called for any wher purpose then to flatter their political patroos.

JAMES DENNIIITOUN, ho4nlter, having shortly seconded the lie.olusions, the same were imam mously carried lee acclamation. ...... gentlemen posed the Edinburgh public meeting, as . accuse them of any base or treasonable afotives or intentions. That the Gentlemen present yielded to no claw of men in zeal for the support of Magistrates, and •f legal authorities, and fur the security of property and 'scram's, and of laws and good order. They had no views or prospects of any private or per. sonal benefits from any change of his Majesty's Ministers. The only benefits they had in view were those of a public nature ; and their only objects in calling the meeting were to promote th►e peace, prosperity, and happiness of their country, and all classes of its inhabitants, high and low, rich and poor, masters arid servants, friends and enemies. It was, lie said, unfortunately too oh. vious, that, for a number of years loot, the situa tion arid circumioances of the people of these kingdoms had been regularly and progressively becoming worse and worse. Many of the weal thier classes of people who had been entirely ruined by the late enormous depression of every kind of property, had been reduced to a state of comparative poverty. The state of all kinds of hinnies,, agricultural, manufacturing, or corn tnercial, was such as to produce lois, in place of proti!, to those whose capitals ■re employed in thin ; and the fall of the wages of the labouring classes had reduced the great body of the - people to pauperism and misery. In this situarioo, it was sorely the duty of the meeting to inquire what were the causes which had produced evils of such magnitude, mod whether the general poverty had proceeded from the idleness and extrava gance of the people, or from the faults and misgoveroment of the Ministers of the Crown. It appeared most clear to him, that it had not pro ceeded from any want of industry or frugality on the part of the great body of the people. Fur, could any man lay his hand on his heart and accuse them of idleness or luxurious living? Were not their working hours as long, and their exertions us great, as human nature could bear? Cotild any abridgment o► saving he made from their allow ances of food, or clothing, or firing, or shelter ? Ile acknowledged, and deeply lamented, that some of the people were addicted to the abuse of spiri tuous liquors—au abuse which was indeed a dis grace, and a curse to them and to their country; but he asserted, what lie thought all would allow to be true, that the great body of the people passed their lives in the exercise of the hardest and must constant labour, and in the practice of the strictest sobriety and frugality. lie asked, if he needed to inquire further, whether the people of this country haul been deficient in skill, ingenuity, or enterpri•t•, in any of the arts of life, agriculture, manufacture, or eoinuirrce?—and whether it wan not known to all the world, that improvements in all these arts bad been such as had increased in an incalculable rate all the products of labour, and all the necessaries, conveniences, and comforts of life? What, then, lie asked, could possibly be the cause, that this in creased productioa of all the materials and comp°. ' swot parts of wealth, had terminated in the poverty. degradation, and misery of the body If the people ? One cause, and one cause only, he thought, could ±; . II parley; Saturday at Bream...bill.
