MR. THELLII. SOW. ENTERTAINMENT.

Foley House, last night, exhibited the most vas
r legated scene of amusement perhaps ever displayed
at the house of a private gentleman. Its masks,
plays, balls, &c. &c. constituted an epitome of
pleasure. The Entrance-hall press nted a spacious
Theatre, at which was performed, for the first time,
a new Piece, iatitled " The Instaltion of
'l'he Piece went off with ; Athutigh u e must con-
fess it is a tame copy of " Tie &of::: or cf the
a Farce just brought out at Paris. The scenery Was
borrowed from- Sadler's Wells, the Drury-lase
scenes, originally intended for the short-lived glr:y
of a theatrical campaign of one night, having be, n
recalled in consequence, it is said, of the name ,f
the piece. The I:Tory-lane property men probably
conceived it was too serious a sublet% for it farce.
The Emperor N•ecii.zoN, and the Empress Jost-
roma, the hero and heroine of the piece, were up.
ported with a truth and delicacy: that would have
done credit, to even Hamlet's Players. The. The.
etre. the 8011-room, and other scenes of amuse.
ment within the house, wete the great source cf
pleasure during the early part of the night, whi'e
r°upes of more robust constitution, might be seta
Ming sweet converse in the gardens, in ti e
elegant marquees, of which tittle were four, cr
at the performance of several cf the corps from
Sadler's Wells, who chose that scene for the
display of their powers. There were nine sap.
per rooms. The roovn destined for the Paws
and his Party was laid out with th'ety-two
covers We thought fancy had already exhaustcd
itself in its efforts to add some new d. vice to the
..pieurean scene; but last night pt'oved that htr
stores are still abundant. Upon the table of this
room was a silver patron of exquisite beauty. But
among the most extraordinary efforts of genius we
must reckon tour likenesses of Mr. Kent; t.z. at the
four angles, representing him in four of his principal
charaCters—of I{9lla, Hamlet, ONarion, and Ri:hard.
It will be presumed they were painted upon can-
vass, by his favourite art's., Lass RENCE. No such
thing ; they were admirably carved upon four West-
phtilia hams. Domities were not admitted. The
charafters were appropriately dressed. It' not pre-
vented by bu3iness of greater importance, we shall
give farther particulars to-morrow.
