TIIR4TRES. 01 , ERA.110USE. , The *pen of Dos Giovanni was preskted for the second time this season on Saturday evening. From. frequent repetition in the Italian, and the well-directed Ishours of those who translated in Inn er yin ll sll rut sind beautiful passages, for the Ilse of Covent-garden Tlwittre, the work has attained to a degree of fame nearly commensurate with the claims of the immortal genius of its author. Thor characters •re at present cast as effectively as the stren gth of the company will admit, and it is very stliestmeable whether any operatic" theatre of the euntittent mild furnish a more perfect performance it than was witnessed on Saturday evening. Every body knows how finished a " libertine" A maltose . ..lt makes of the hero. Madame Be 1.- LOCHS is 'quid to arty, and superior to most of her predecessors in Zedika. Miss Conitt is peculiarly adopted, its manner, as well as in her style of ear cation, for the hopeless and highly-pathetic wailing* or • Donna Anna.

AN. 11 . doe. every'thing well, and gave the utmost satisfaction in his two parts of Maud() and !)nn Pedro. He is, however, must excellent in the loftier character of Dun Pedro. His conception is bold. his voice. powerful, sod his manner earnest; he appears, therefore, So vomit advantage where the expression iaintended to rouse the higher feelings. So part can Ire bitter suited to his ability than that of Don Pedro, especially when be appears as tha Ghost; the sublime horror of the music which accompanies that incident receives sn exquisite finish from his stentorian tones and sepulchral enuncia tion. The opera was too long to admit the per formence of a •divertisemint, but a pretty sand ballet, written by DetioNT, was revived, which represent' the_ last incidents of the courtship of a country girl by a nobleman in the disguise of a rustic. The archness and simplicity of the first character were well represented by Mademoiselle Ettz.i. The part of her lover was very gallantly sustained by LA CUOCQUIL The incidents were so few as to leave the great scope for the pedal 'exertions of the whole corps. A whimsical dance took place between four of the chief ladies and en antiquated votary of the tender passion, who was alternately encouraged and baffled in each separate movement. Mr. Osc•• Ihrans distinguished himself. With • figure apparently very muscular and well knit, he maintains an aerial independence 44 nd alacrity of motion which exceed imagi. gination. His punctuality in obeying the time of the music, while between the intervals of its accent lavishes the most vigorous and beautiful grace. of his art, gives proof of what must have been the persevering meteor of his exertions in thus accom plishing himself. Next to him we must notice Madame MILANIE, whose spiritual figure and features and elf-like motion •• servo ;lot of earth nlil gh they are upon it." Of her may be said, we Mr. Montle said of the great Parisian dancer, " You **old think, as her feet ht the dance twinkle round, That her steps were of light, and her home was the air. And she only, par cosvplaisanas, e'er touched the ground." The horse was crowded in the pit, and a consi derable assemblage of company occupied the boxes. We observed that the dresses iii the main still re. t3nied the character of mourning, although the Court order dispessaes with that observance in pub lic places. There werca few of the Ladies dressed in colours, and the head-dresses were generally fan ciful, though impressively simple. The only ob servafile indication of prevailing fashion was, a coin partitive predominance of Scorch bonnet., of vari ous burr, surmounted by white feathers. Some wore white turbans beneath the feathers, and in more cases the white plumes were simply contrasted with the raven locks and black eyes over which 'b.y waved. the season has been interrupted; and the tree 6Uly n.tist have suffered considerably. But there irrlu4 cry probability, from the present full at terihinee, and the good management of the enter tnnan.iits, that, in the conclusion, the profits will such as the enterprize and judgment of the proprietors so well entitle them to. DRUILY.LANg. Saturday night, after the performance of Artax erxes, with the same ability and success as on R'ciltteptiay night, a farcical pantomimicul drama, in two ;Jets, entitled Shukspeare versus Harlequin, wits produced for the first time. The principal nicidel.ts mod situations are taken from a celebrated IHece I GARRICK'S, called Harlequin's invasion, or Chi istnius Gambols. The ground-work of this piece was represented originally at Bartholomew Fair, about the time of the first introduction of pantomime into this coun try. rimier soother and a very strange title, being written by our great Roams, to promote the inte rest of a favourite performer. Afterward., feeling his own supremacy shaken, and his admirers seduc ed by this newly-imported prodigy, he etilarg. ed the production, and adapted it to Drury-lane, as an expedient at once to amuse the town, mid convey a reproach for their desertion of him. It iv** first performed there in the year 1759, and continued to be acted at the mine place for many years after. Saturday night's adaptation of the dratnu was to be considered as a general satire our, we are sorry to be obliged to say, the 'reigning taste for pantomime. This object is at tained by means of a fable, comprehending in its progress a variety of the absurd iucidento, unnatural and impossible events, and causeless and unaccount able effects invariably composing that species of en tertainment, in a somewhat exaggerated and utterly rtsficulatis hope, and ending in the establishment of the National drama's dninmiou over this monster of foreign birth. Harlequin is supposed to invade, and to have just arrived in this country, the realm and domains of &unreal's, when Mercury, the god of declaimers, makes his appearance, raises a awe sod cry after the motly stranger, and offers a -large reward for his apprehension. This engages a Amu', of odd characters in the pursuit, consisting of Corporal Bounce (Mr. Dow Toe) ; Gasconade. a Frenchmen (Mr. GATTI6) ; Jae Snip, a tailor (Mr. Muturels) ; Abraham, his man (Mr. Kuwait).; Minna, a clown (Mr. OiaertitY) ; Forge, a black smith (Mr. ..kusseu.) ; and Toffy, • Welshman (Nlr.lrinteues), wills numerous others. The clown, however, deserts his colours, sod joins the enemy. A C'alumbine spurge into .existeuce out of Mass Aslay &tip, the daughter; and some !ninthly comic scene, in which the rharacters re press, in intelligible language (which is the case throughout) tlw natural feelings of human beings, arise out of Miss Dolly, in, her high notions, dis carding her old admirer ,Afirahnes, and his trans. ferring his slighted !lose to Miss Sukey Chite►lin (Miss l'ouvt). Harlequin at firm rivals Mercury in Co'lumbiee'• idrectiona, and fora length of time baf fler, by his magic powers, all thwart and dexterity of the crafty deity. On solemn hearing before a regu lar tribunal, Harlequin and Mercury, in the guise of lawyers, plead, the former hie own pose, the latter SHAISPEA se's, and judgment is given eguinitt the latter, for which, however, the three Judges are transformed into old women, and it is not till the principal heroes and heroines in SIIAKIPEARE appear in awful assemblage ■ud majesty before him, that the intruder is overpowered, and com pelled to vanish, and to abandon his usurped em pire. The attention bestowed on the preparation of this piece for the stage is extremely creditable to (lie theatre. Nearly all the performers of comic, and several of those of vocal merit, are brought forward in it. Much of the machinery and tricks evinc ed great ingenuity. The music, in great part a selection, was very pretty. sod tile scenery beau tiful and highly finished in the extreme. The part of Harlequin fell to the lot of Mr. lIAILSY, who felt by no means emba rr d with his wand and party-coloured garb. Aladame VEsrats, alter en chaining the house with her skill and powers iu the opera. presented herself a second time is the after piece, as Daly Snip and Columbine. We under stand she was called on to undertake this character on very short notice ; hut that was not perceptible (except, perhaps, in one instance, the act of the metamorphose) in her acting. Her talents sp. peered to be as well, at least, adapted to the gay as the grave. Miss Snip's aspiring., flouting', and envy, were as strongly exhibited as the fide lity and anguish of the regal friend ; and Co lumbine's s' light fantastic" step was fully as graceful and elegant ■s Artaxerxes' more mea sured movements. Site introduced a very sweet Italian air, which was enthusiastically eiscored, as the song of 1‘ In irfuney our hopes and fears," had been in the opera. Mr. T. COOKE played Mercury, and in one scene, after performing on a great number of other musical instruments. guve the Irish melody of " The harp that once in Tora's hall," on the violin, in exquisite style, and was also encored. But Mercury's solaria were not given him for dancing. nor among all the thefts and grawpings of that deity, did we ever learn that he had either seised or laid claim to that appropria tion to his good parts. His representative, however, wished to give a specimen of his uccomplishinents in that way, and in so doing lost the much more va luable quality attributed to the divinity by the Roman Poet, of being a favourite with the Gods above, " grains dcorum superis." A curtailment may very well be made in this, as well as in several other scenes, for the piece was too much prolonged, occupying nearly three hours in the representation. To this circumstance partly, but in a mach greater degree probably to the true drift of the drama not being generally understood, is to he imputed the .imputience and disapprobation manifested by a large part of the audience near to and at the catastro phe. After the play had been announced fur this evening. Mr. RossELL. the stage-manager. came forward and addressed the house to the following effect : " Ladies and Gentlemen —4 think that this property has given strong proofs, during the present reason, that it has no desire to obtrude any thing on the public contrary to its juJgmeat--(Ckeers)—but as you have honoured many parts of this drama wish your approbation, I trust you will allow me to announce it fur a second representation." This address was received favourably by the ma. jority of the auditors, who indicated a dirposition to comply with the request, though the tumult did not immediately subside. For our part, so far from thinking the entertainment to be merely entitled to sufferance on the stage, we look upon it as u most witty, pointed, and judicious satire on a thing whose popularity proceeds from (we must be excused in buying) a perversion of public haste. Mrs. Butter was announced in the Covent. garden bill of Monday last es one of the dranwis persowce in The Antiquary for that night. but Miss !MATTHEWS appeared in the pl.y. This circum stance has excited some surprise. The following is the explanation. The part to be filled is that usual ly sustained in the piece by Miss MATTHEWS, but that Lady having been taken ill, sent an apology, and Mrs. BISHOP was announced. On Monday, however, Miss MATTHEW! fnund herself sufficiently recovered to resume her place, and Mrs. lizsuer was withdrawn. Tug CMARE.—Lord DERBY'S stag hounds meet to-motrow, at Leathrrheutl.

Friday evening the splendid New Argyle Rooms were opened for Mr. 1-lAwEs's annual grand Con cert, which we were happy to find crowded at an early hour by elegant company; there was scarce ly standing room, Attracted from personal respect to Mr. Mimi, as well as from the uncommon at trection of the numerous tint-rate performers, as Well as the excellent end judicious selection of music. There were no less than hiueteen principal performers, consisting of— Mrs. Salmon, Miss Goodall. mid Mies Carew 1 Masters Marshall and Gear; Messrs. Ballast, Vatighan. W. Kityvtlt. Bellamy, Welsh, Niels, Evans, Vernal, J. Elliot, Kiug, Clink, Meier's, Hawes, and Autbroetiti. The bawl was ably led 4,y Mr. CRASSER. and conducted by Mr. GREATEAtEx; the whole of the instrumental performers wite.of the brat rate. The performances comnieuceil with the Corona tion Anthem, " The King shall rejoice," in com pliment to the new reign of his Majesty King GEORGE the Fourth. Miss GooDALL and Signor AMHROGETTI en raptured the audience in a duet in imitation of a father giving instructions to his daughter iii singing, and the letter also in • comic song, in imitation of a composer giving directions to en orchestra on the first rehearsal of his new composition, in which it may be truly said he maid his actions to the touts and instruments lie was imitating with his voice. Mr. BRAHAM was in eseelleut sbice, and sang, in his usual chaste style, a new song, " dfl the lice long night reclining," composed by Mr. HAWEs, which. is a charrniug melody, with some delightful accompAniments. A new glee, " Low in a Vale where Flowerets sweet," harmonised by Mr. HAWES, was admirably sung by MissGooDALL, Messrs. %V. KNYTETT, VAUGHAN, and BELLAMY, which was extremely well received, as was a new glee by Mr. W. KNYYETT, "There is a bloom that never fades." The admired glee, " By Celia's Arbour all the Met," was encored. Mr. Bat, LASIY'S excellent haws voice was heard to great ad. vantage in en Italian song. Mrs. SALMON sung the air, " With verdure clad," io her usual chaste ti!yle from The Creation, and a trio from the same piece, in which she was ably supported by Mr. VAUGHAN and Mr. BEL LAMY. Mrs. SALMON also sting a Scottish ballad, for the first time, newly arranged by Mr. HAY/ES, called, " Charley is my darling." A Concerto on the grand piano-forte by Mr. C. Porria, com• posed by MOZART. was a master-piece ; it has an obligato accompaniment for several instruments. The above Concert-room is admitted to be the best in London for giving effect to music. . •sr-- An account of the escape of Captain Davis, frcm Giltspur.street Compter, is given in another part •f our Paper. It is said a fleet horse was waiting for him in Smithfield, on which he immediately rode off to Croydon; there he entered a chaise and four, which was also in readiness to receive him; and in which he proceeded to Brighton, where he embarked on board a vessel there waiting to carry him to France. It is supposed that he was out of the kingdom in five hours after he left the prison. The gold chain which the Chevalier RUSPINI was robbed of at his own door from round Ins neck, at the time the crowd was drawing Mr. WIIITIIILEAD through Pall-mall from Brentford, has been re turned to him in au anonymous letter, supposed to be in consequence of its being of a peculiar make, and could be easily identified.

ESCAPE OP CAPTAIN DAVIS. Saturday the Justice-rents ass crowded op caress. in eon. seipseree of the expected examination of Samuel Goodiesg, 'the t of Capiaiu Davie, Lieutenant of the Yesoneu of the King's Guards, who escaped from Gulespier.sireet Cons-p -ter, with the assistance of Gooding, at half-past one ua Friday. Captain Davis was apprehended some time since upon the (lore., erf having forged the aecrplsuee of Thaws. Granuloma rod Cll. betake's, fur 6,0001. It appeared that , Captain Disis had lost a large tam of movuiry as pLay, and heist, pie fir she payment of it idolised this es peilicat. The 101 l h.riug been drawee at tat Ire hr, P4/111C *Ur• prior era .aci and *polecat' was made al she house of Memos, Drotiossimil sod Co. by ahe party who uudertook to get is di...anted fur the Captain. The mimeo it was shown at Drommond's it was pronnuneed a forgery, and (again Davis was taken into custody. Mr. Davis subsequently underwent a private examination before the Lord Mayor, and was committed to Geltspor street Compter fur a further hearing. la the interim his family became acquainted with his situation, and it is scarce ly necessary to simile bow deeply their feelings were shocked. It was now eutiaidersil desirable to dispose of else siitiatioa which, he held as Lieutenant of the Yeoman of She Guards, and for which his father had given 6,0001. For this purpose ipplication was made to his Majesty; but permission was refused, although it was ilisiugbt as a matter of indulgence that the prayer would have been grouted. The Primo'? was to have unit. rgone his Re I examinalion on Thursday, but a hope still existing that means wutOlil be found to prevail on him Majesty to permit the sale Of elm Clialßliaiioll, it *se postponed to Saturday. The second application, however, proved alike uusauccessfol with the find; and we understand the office has actually been conferred upon a t lentleman of considerable fame in dramatic literature. ‘Theilier this in telligence load reach.d Mr. Davis we know not; hat it appears that be did not think it prudent to await the result of a or. cond examinsiiosi, which it was expected would have led to his Coal commitment to Neneate for trial.— On Friday lie effected his escape from the Compter in the following manner : It seems that ever since his /Tor. lien. siois he has hero visited by a lady, who was known as Mrs. Parker (lay whom he bite family), as well as by that lady's sister. He was also occasionally called un by his brother, his solicitor, sod several friends. His servant RIJN too was in the habit of going to him twice • day so administer to his wanes and so bring him those necessaries of %bleb Ise stood in need. Among other things be occasionally carried him • bag of clothe.. Fur the last two or three days, this man, who wore • blue frock livery-coat, striped waistcoat, and gaiters, came to the prison with his jaws wrapped up ea • black silk handkerchief, as if he were affected with the tooth.sch. The circumstance was noticed by Frost, the turnkey, who happeaed to he himself afflicted with rheuma tic pains at the tunic, but nothing particular passed. On Friday morning Mr. Davis was visited by his brother and by another Gentionau, who won went allay; shorily •wfterwards the servant came as usual with his beg of clothes, sod with his jaw still wrapped in the black silk handker chief. He Went up stairs to his master's room, where he remained some time; and at half-past one was supposed to have come down again, and was permitted without the slightest suspicion to depart by Frost. Thus matters rested for nearly an hour, when the sister of Mr. Davis arrived and was allowed to go rta Mr. Davis's. room ; she looked, however, ioveaio for him, and asked the wife of one of the turnkeys if be knew where be was? Am inquiry followed, and it was discovered that he had escaped, and that his ser vant still rentaiued in the gaol. In fart, at turned out that She servant had brought in his hag a complete snit of livery similar to his own, hi which he dressed his master; and them covering his face with • black silk handkerchief, and placing the bag, filled wills other apparel, on his shoulder, together with his own hat on his head, sent him down stairs. The disguise was so effectual that it answered the desired end. Frost was thrown off his guard, and the Prisoner got clear off. Mr.Teague, the keeper of theCompter,at this time time was attending his duty at the Mansiou.house, lust being apprised of what had occurred, be lost no lima in sending to every place where he thought it was likely the fugitive 'might be craceakd, but all in vain. He also applied to Lord Sid lamittiored 'miter his Lordship's peratiiision, diritthins were seat to the different ow porta, to prevent escape that way. Mr. Teague also circulated the following placard:— "One Hundred Guineas Reward.—Escape!—Whereas John Henry Davis, late • prisoner in the Gillspuretreet Cumpler, under • charge of Forgery, has effected his escape Mom ball-past one o'clock this day, in the dress of his see. vast. The said Jubn Henry Davis is about 31 years of age, near six fret high, dark complexion, hair sad eyes; is well known at the Weal End of ihe Town, and at most of the Subscription Horses: has been a Captain iu lbe Life Guards, steel now Lieutenant of Yeomen of the King's Guards. Whoever will apprehend the said John Henry Davis, and fudge him in any of his Majesty's Gauls, shall receive the above reward ; and any rue* giving any information that may lead to his appreiwissioo, shall be handsomely rewarded, on applicai Ma to the Keeper of the said Prison. " April 7, IOSO." " JOHN 'TEAGUE, 'Keeper. The servant, upon being iuterrogated, staled, that his same was Samuel Gooding, sisal that be had lung lived with Mr. Davis. He said lan was the hest of masters, and he ad mitted shot be bail been asked whether he would assist in his escape suns after he was apprehended? He willingly agreed, tint did nut kouw She time fixed upon till lately. He slid nut know where his master was gout.; be took no place in any coach for him, nor did be engage any post-chaise oat his account. The man then candidly ileicribed the manner in which his master had been disguised; the clothes in which he went were exactly similar to those worn by himself. The matter on Saturday underwent an examination before the Lord Mayor, and the servant was put to the bar open the ellarge of aiding Ike escape of his master. Mr. Drum mood, attended by his Solicitor, Mr. Clarke, was present, as were Mr. Bollaud, the Counsel, sod Mr. Palmer, the Solidi. Sur fur Mr. Davis, abuse escape was to them a matter of surprise, as they were of opinion the evidence against hint was out sufficient to warrant his final commitment. The Lord Mayor was distinctly of that the per. mons of the servant mad the waiter were by no means alike. The former was taller and mach thinner than the latter. He therefore thought great blame was imputable to the turn key, Frust. Mr. Teague said, that Frost had been ten years a turn key, sod made a mistake hefore. He had every cos. Rdence hi his integrity. He was himself parithalarly anal. one about Mr. Davis, bemoan he knew the great interest that was makiug iu his ha b•lf, find was glad that the day . bail as nearly arrived when he should be relieved from what lee considered to be so serious a charge. He bad motioned all his eels to be upon their gum* and reminded them of the case of Lavairtie, appreading as lie did, that his Primmer might attempt 'scathe in female attire. He also gave ditto-lions to bust men, whenever more than use person -visited Mr. Darts at a time, before they were allowed to -depart, to see that be was vale. This order was always attended to, and Stephens, another of itis turnkeys visited •his wens three times • day. . Ittswener Samuel Foust, the turnkey, who wus deceived, . WAS albre clammed.
