Ocr. 14. In my last I had not t:tre rn titter into the me. tits of nut first night's per for ro.ince. Notwitli sta-ding the encreased size nt the Theatre, it was crossdes.l at an early hour with all the No;sility 41).1 Gmtry, beauty an l talent, tr.t only of this, but of every suit - attn./mg county. and many persons of fa shion !win llteslin. On enteting, I recognised my old fries: I, the house, but ccrtaitily wit!, a era .fart ; large sums haye been expetided, hut,with such taste, ele,;ance, and propriety, that the most liberal con tiihtit,r must he pl-ased. Mr. Rusts isoa vra• the c , odium r. Ti•e p •rt atmaace commenced with a p ia l,.gue, spoken with pr3dicinus efft3, by Mr. R. Pvwea. In this, alter an apposite and feeling corn isliment to the auJience, he, with strong and happy Irony, ridiculed the Penile race of the times Inv in fant ;tams. wherein (to use the nelson, bat c.tsm of the Prol.gue), " Man plays the child, when infante p!ay the men." After some other dexterous Alliisions, he covichtd ed the whole with a finely-tuined compliment to the Earl of OttsioND and family. We understand it me from t h e elAssie pen of Mr livsne. The entert.tinments for the evening were, The T r,„,Jer, and the Melo-drama of Yalta:me and Orson. I.t considering The Wonder, Don Felix naturally c laitits our first atte•it;on ; and, we confess with plea sure, that we never saw the charaleristic haitreur of the Spaniard, the easy department of the nobieman, the qu ckly-raised jealousy, and as quiekly•revived confidence of the lover, pourtrayed with more inte resting variety. Where all is excellent, it is diffi cult, and almost invidious, to select --Mr. LANG ROME was an inimitable Liisorifo, and we perfe !Hy agree with him in thinking, that diamond is a great addition to the little ringer of a gentleman." He was well contrasted with the lubberly air, and uncouth appearance of his rival servant, (hobo ; and Mr. BROWNLOW, from his northern tour, gave a rich and happy peculiarity to the Scotch dialeEt. Mr. Pcossots ay, as the gallant Cam' Brdon, was every thing the lively Authoress could have wished, and received much applause. Our Old favourite ..,to 4 Fahrai" supported the part of Dan Lopez. The costume was such as might be expeCted from Taste condoling Elegance. The splendid magnificence of attire, the beauty of the scenery, the well arranged grouping of kite Pepyin's court, afforded a striking coup d'eril in Cie afterpiece. Hugo never met a more humourous sup porter than in Mr. GLAscomt. Capt. CR...MI.I'ON, who was the delight of all the amateurs in masquerade dancing and the at tette sports, last winter, in London, was the Orson of the night, and his performance was so astonishing, that its excellence is actiounted for by the Captain having been acquainted with the Savage ttf Aveyrsto, during his late abode at Paris, which natural curiosity has excited so much .uteiltion in that city. •I'he brilliancy ttf the 1:711s, sce;wry, dc cc,ul.l rr.2l be rivalkst by the bright eyes and line diamonds of the ladies.

Also. the Ist Division of Ar tillery. with twelve cannons. 6 pounders, and am. nuannion waggon., came in h re yesterday, and em barked this morning.

Likewise the 2d Di vision of Artillery of the German Legion arrived here to-day. and, most probably, will go on board to4not row morning. The cloathing of the German Legion (regiments sl the line) is red, and the artillery blue, the same as the British; and, in genet al, the men look strong and health) ; their behaviour is very quiet and orderly. Each regiment had a very good band, and the Officers conduct themselves very properly, and in a gentlemanly way. The destination of these fine troops, it does not appear, is known to themselves; but the prevailing idea among them is, that they are going to their own country, lianc,ver, 37. DIINSTIN'S CAURCIi. `,.. ItlL Wkiil.) Yester.lay Divine Service was performed at this place of worship, for the first time since the repairs, which have cost the Palish 13G01. T: ere are few churches in England of greater antiquity than St. Dunstan's. It is said to have been built soon after the death of the Saint, whose nam? it bears,. 718 years ago. It fortunately escaped the Fire of I.on don, which approached very near to it, on the North Side of Flirt-street. Li 1701, the entient arcbed roof was taken down, and a new square one built, ornamented with deep mouldings, and a variety of embellishments; the ..thrr parts of the church were also adorned. Since the latter period, until March lest, it suffered the ravaves of time. The monu ments an.: archi.c.!lural designs were then in a mu tilated state. The wainscot, walls, and pews, re quired cleaning ; and, to pieseeve the fahrick from entire ruin, the repairs commenced. It is now fi nislied, and exhibits an appearance of solemn gran. ds-ur. The vestiges cf its antiquity have been pre served. The pulpit, organ, gall ry, and roof, are rendered handsome by rich gilding and painting. 'the beautiful fignre of a Pelican feeding its young with its own blond (an emblem of the church foster. ing her children), which is placed over the altar, has been repainted and beautified. The columns of the lonic order, between which are the Creed and Lord's Prayer in gold letters; also a Globe between two Bibles, denoting the spreading of the Gospel over the World, are now restored to their original beauty. Those fine pkhires of Moses and Aaron, which remained so long obscured by dirt, have been cleaned. They are the prodiklien of an emi nent master, and add greatly to the internal beauty of the church. The external of the venerable edifice is also re paired ; and the whole may now be considered a public ornament of importance. EPEA PTEROENTA; 0., 01.9 NICE. ANA JOHN HORNE TOOKE. TO THE EDITOR.
