COVENT-GARDEN. On Saturday night, after the Opera of Maid Marian, O'KEEFire's play of Rambles ix Dorset shire, or the London Hermit, reduced to two acts, and called a Petit-Comedy, was revived at this theatre. It would be difficult to ainign any tolerable reason for not at once calling it by the plaM old English designstioo of u Farce; for suds it really is, by every rule of dramatic construction, whether considered with reference to the meagre ness of the plot, the extravagance of the incidema, the broadness of the characters, or the whimsical structure of the dialogue. Though much of the humour of the piece was found to have evaporated with toe memory of the topics which formed the subject of its temporary allusions, at the period of its first production, yet enough still remained to render it far more entertaining than most of the recent productions of the same class, and, to• gether with the spirited manner in which it was given, to keep the audience in an almost constant roar of laughter, from the rising to the falling of the curtain. Mr. JONES frisked through the freaks of Young Pranks, with his customary bustling viva city; Mr. CONNOR'S hilly, was • rich display of genuine comic humour ; and the Natty Maggs of Mr. KEELEY was the perfect beau-ideal of a Min dyfied cockney apprentice, just nut of his time.— Mrs. Maggs, in the hands of Mrs. DAVENPORT, became a personage of most amusing self-import ance; and Miss FOOTE, in Kitty Barleycorn, lived. moved, and breathed, • very puragou of country bar-maids. These were well supported by the re spectability of the remaining characters; and the audience, which was both numerous and brilliant, gave the most unequivocal testimony of the even log's exertions for their entertainment.
