The Coronation attr.leted an overflowing home
.last night. On the entry of the:. Champion, the
g►avily of the scene was interrurted by momentery
laughter at a person iii ,the pit, who took up the
Champion's glove to inspect ii, when first thrown
down in defianee. After the Coronation • nnm-
bet of people very inconsideretely advanced froth
the back of the pit, and stood in front on the plat-
form thrown across, for the procession. This proved so
complete an impediment to the view of those be-
hind, that a stout opposition was set up, which fur it
considerable time prevented the farce from 'queer-d-
-ing. The swatter was compromised at last by the de-
parture of most of the ohtrosive pa►ties, the rest con-
senting to sit down on the boards. The farce was
p►eart►ted for the first time : the title of it was
5001. The plot is nearly se b►ief as the tit le :—AJY-.

acre, is to want of the above sum to satisfy his cre-
ditors and not being able to come at it in an honest
way, frightens his relation nut of the money by per-
soaating the ghost of en insolvent debtor, and call-
ing two imps to hir assistance. He is immediately
thereupon to be ma►ried to the rich ward, who lives
under the same roof, although she is, at the same
time, promised by the guardian to a Mr. Bobbin,
haberdasher, of Cripplegate. " And that is all,"

scription of a long story. There are three characters
engaged besides, and • diversity G f small incidents,

with considerable effeci. Mrs. °ease played the
niece, and este spirit 4o the character of a Blame
Stacking, which she assumes to scare away the pre-
tensious of the mon milliner, who found an able re-
presentative in Mr. Russett. Mr. Coorea filled
up the pert of Nonplas and the Ghost with credit to
himself. Mr. GATT'S was the um le. KNIGHT per-
formed the part of one Gumption, who it a main
contributor to the contrivance and execution of the
business. The piece was not well received, mud the
disapprobation at the close had nearly prevented us
from hearing Mr. ItussaLL announce it for repeti-
tion this evening.
