it was a stpirited and judiciOn pertormaricc.—
The play *as succeeded by the new Comic
Dance of Fairy Revels. The tote ila ussok,
in Quests Mab. is quite a prodigy ; the perform-
ances went off . with great eclat ; the house was
full. but not crowded, which I attribute to the
different gentlertun of the countrythaving shoot-
ing patties at their houses. General and Lady
Cii a RLOTTE LENNOX had a select party et friends
at dinner yesterday ; Col. and Mrs Neese were
of the party. The racing sport will commence

Friday evening, in the charader of Petra; and

Mr. TIOTTER'S Rdia was also an excellent piece of

a great deal of attention, and it was worthy of no-
tice, that the dresses of the chaciac'ters were
scarcely inferior in splendour tr, :hose of Drury-
, Lane Theatre.
