THE .4VCTIONEER AND THE LAWYER. [From the New Motility Maga:ins.] A City Auctioneer, one Samuel &obits, Did Kreiger elevation with his hammer, Assisted by his piano( clamour, Thin Got aril Magog with their claim s d . ar that gte it Fee-fa-Cent of war, The Scandiliavian Thor, Did with his mallet, which (ere Btyant's Mythology) ftli'd stoutest pasts:— Fur Smuuel knotted down houses, churches, Auld woods or osk and elms sod birches, ‘Vith•greater rase than mad Orlando Tore the first tree be laid his bard to. He might, in reason, to bare raised his owl Lot by knocking others' down; Awl had he berm content with shaking His bummer sad his hand, sod taking Advantage of what brought him grist, he Might have been as rich as Christie;— Bat somehow when iby midnight hell, Bow, Sounded along Chespaide its knell, Oar spark was buy iu Pall-mall Shaking his elbow, — Marking, with paw upon his mazzard, The turns of hazard; Or rattling in a box the dice, Which seem'd as if a grudge they bore To Stubbs: for oftem in a trice, Down on the nail be was compelPd to pay All that his hammer brought him in the day, Aii4 sometimes more. Thus, like a male Penelope, our wigbt, What he bad clout by day undid by night, No wonder, therefore, if, like her, He was beset by clamorous brutes, Who crowded round him to prefer Their several suits. One Ur. Soipps, the tailor, had the longest Bill for assay suits—of follow, Lad astarally thought he had the strongest Claim for payment. But debts of honour must be paid, Whate'er becomes of debts of trade; Asa so our stylish auctioneer, From mouth to mouth tbruagboat the pier. Elevate, falsehoods, pleas alleges, Oe flatteries, compliments, and p'edges. Whets is the litter mood use day, Me squeezed his hand, sad swore to pay.— " Bet whesi?"—"Plext mouth.

This lawyer was a friend of Stubbs, That is to say, to a civic way, Where bunions interposes not its rubs; Fur where the main chasm is is question, Damon leaves Pythias to the stake, Pylades sad Orestes break, ♦od Akziuder cuts Sephsesthse ; Mat when ear man of law must sue his friends, Tenfold politeness made amends. So when he met our Auctioneer, lobo his mitstreich'd hand he thnrst his Writ, and said with friendly leer, " My dear, dear Stubbs, pray do me josliee;— in Ibis affair 1 hope you are • No ectlsure eau attach to me— nus% entertain a wrong impression i Vns doing sow what must be done in ay profession " " And so am 1," Stubbs answered with a frown, So crying "Guing—going—going—graue!"

THEATRE'S. HAYMALICET. A.new comedy, in ihree acts, from the p en o f Mr. KBNIIY. owe of the mnst frequent and most deservedly successful contribution. to our drsiontic ei.tertspintent, wad produced MO night at slits Theatre. under she title or John Lisurhy ; on A Day's Pleasare. The following is au outline Of the plot : Jots nunhy Mr. Tow. Major Aubrey Mr. Andersen .. Mr. FAULIIIIIIII. Captain Greville Mr. Joys.. Iretplak Mailhuid Jtegle Natty Brig ye Jana %lin nowt ; Mu. Buzzby Jemmy ,Geese—Richmond. --------- ---• John Buzzby, • respectable LOllllOll shopkeeper, wisbiog to enjoy 011 C day free from the troubles of no overbearing wife and an impertineut Cockney sun-in-law (Natty Briggs), pretends a journey to Deptfutd uu hosiers', and he reality takes • mete -coach trip to Richmond in search of pleasure. Mrs. Buuby asd her booby son, thieking Mr. Bushy Rate in Kest, determine also on a joyous expedition, unluckily to the very same place, viz. Richmond, and tali, with them Cecilia, a ward of the Bizzbys, whose tonne Mrs. B. wishes to snare by marrying her to Natty Briggs. John Betzby makes acquaintance in the stage-coach with •ti interesting female (Julia), who is lately married to a naval officer (Anderaoa), and having formerly hail a thought. less, though perfectly iiiisocent literary correspondence with • Captain (female ' goes so Richmond to ask Major Aubrey (uncle s 4 theCeptain) to procure a restitution of her letters, which Gentile bad improperly shewn, and which she fears may involve her husband, should he bear of it, in a duel. The Lady find* in Realty every appearastre of re spectability, relies on that and his age, so far es to ask hiss to accompany her to the Major's, That he may afterwards, if needful, &that the propriety of her visit, haying in the hurry of her anxiety overlooked before she left town the necessity of a respectable companion. These circumstances the Lady is often about to communicate to Buzzhy, but is always Interrupted, and the good-natured and honest trades man benison her chaperon, on the credit of her appear ance, and in consequence gem law • series of dilemmas - , which turns his day of pl into one of whimsical ens. berressinent sad uncommon Yeutter', sot • little heielittoed by the arrival of Mrs. Busby, who is equally disappointed of her intended jovial day, by fiading her husband wa:king about Richmond with a flee minas, and • military aSker claiming the hand of her ward, Cecilia, at whom Mrs. Buzzby mil her son had by misrepresentation endea voured to deprive him. The husband of Julia meets with Grevilie, and while they arrange • meeting with Baszby, with the best minima. in the world, gets em broiled with both in her detente; he is also equity blamed by Major Aubrey, and every effort he makes for the good of others involves hen is some stew trouble. The antic incidents arising from these contretemps are sided by the introduction of Jingle, a facetious Rich -osood innkeeper, who suffers none to speak but him self; his dose-bier, Jenny, who equally loves 'elitism, bat is never suffered to open her mouth (and who is dying in love of Liniment Maypole); sod • gawky coin -try waiter (Simon), who is equally and ussucteestolly iu lute -with his young mistress, Jenny. The general frees, likely to take place from the numerous mistakes and saisapprehn• sion described, is surveilled by the ioterventin of Major Aubrey, who at length succeeds in rent:Ming all parties, and concluding a day of trouble with as evening of heartfelt pleasure. From this sketch it will be perceived that the ca reer of Job* Brzzey is in one of those continued whirls of ludicrous and ever-varying incident which characterise the generality of the author's produc iions. The dialogue of the piece is brisk and Bow ing, and abundantly seasoned with puns, smart re partee, and amusing equivoque. The characters present little of novelty apart from the situations in which they are placed. and that little, which oc curs in the , parts of John Batzeby and Jingle, is not strongly marked ; their peculiarities, however,. were bit off with admirable dexterity by Mr. Team and Mr. OXDERMT, the exertion of whose rich and genuine comic talents was a constant pro. vocative or laughter. The whole of the per formers. indeed, did ample justice to their re spective parts. But besides the gentlemen just named. Mr. W. WE S T, and Mrs. CHATTBE. LET, claim the diotinction of particular notice for the ability with which they succeeded in extorting a nowt liberal ;need of applause. The piece was played to the close without sound of disapprobation. and announced for repe tition amidst powerful and general applause. ENGLISH OPERA. Last night a very crowded and fashionahle audience visited this interesting theatre. The comic opera of Free and I asy was performed for the first time this season, in which Miss Cattily appeared as Eugenia, Miss POVEY as Mrs. Courtly, and Mr. TONER as Richard, all for the first time. In the representation of Mrs. Courtly there is little room for the display of talent, and none whatever fur the peculiar fascinations of Miss POVEY ; but even the dullness of the charac ter could not prevent her from winning applastsr. Miss CAREW performed Eugenia with judgment, spirit, and vivacity, and sung the ballad of " Shashi he upbraid" with more then usual sweet ness. Of Mr. l'oivaa's Richard it is impossible not to speak favourably. This gentleman pusiseases many of the requisites of en accomplished ,actor; has manners are polished, his enunciation distinct, and his action graceful and uneusbarraesed. it would POEM that Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD quitted the Pavilion at Brighton urfimo revertemeli— all the public notice.
