rraLlie curiosity would he gratified by an account of
what that structure will be when completed, which
has lately been commenced, and is now proceeding
with so much activity and rapidity on the scite of
()Id Drury-lane Theatre, I have encloid for your

ing, as I could give from rt, Inspersiss of the model.

A Sea ks.

THE NEt% lIFAIR E.
It WWI not without good reason, thet the Com-
mittee on the Drury-lens concern paid many hand-
some comphrients to the talents of our British
Artists, who submitted to their choir. the several
les4ns for the construction of the new Theatre.
Perhaps there never was a competition in which a
greeter variety of geaiiis and ability WWI displayed,

Ana in which, while it 1641 the utmost ere.lit to the

individual corupetitota=, and the a/dm 41 character
tar excellence u, the art,, at thy slITIlt imposed upon

those, who were to decade the question of prece-
dence, one of the most serer,' rub that een be um_
piled. After lunch dcliberatioo, they fired on the
work of Mr. B. Wyatt, as brut &Aided is sassier
the views of the Subscrthers—in uniting elegsnce
with economy, and grace with ronveniency. It is this

model which we are abmit to iletcrlbe, and which

pre-eminently corninoes almost every adr'au►sge and
comfort, which the public would require in a theatre.
L► its exterttal appearauce, the new The4tre wilt
be more remarkable for simplicity thin gran-
steur of style. The superior part, and that which
will be most vi•ible from the bridges, and other
quarters of the metropolis, is in the form of a 'writ.
shoe. This is the great body of the bonding. and

surmounts the who!e of the atidierr:v pot : causing

ed the roof appears, but only a plain, looking
wail with a cornice, which gives the Theatre en sir of
strength and solidity, by no means inconsistent with
neauty and eff-xt. The two points of this hirse-
:hue see, of 1:011f.e, towards Drury-lane ; and the
_semicircular aspect towards Bridges-street. On
this side, and inferior to the part of the buil,ling
just described, is the grand tAranee to the house,
as in the late Theatre. It consists, its the model, of

the following parts; but we have heard that the
eulo►ude Is dependant on the state of the subscrip•

violas, and if it is not filled np in a given time, must
be superseded by a porch, which would be much
to be lamented. as the former has a very noble and
classical appearance. The model prevents this fine
colunade facing Bridges-street, and resting on a
series of eight beautiful columns. Its interior and
apposite side offers dine doors to she company en-
tering the Theatre. These doors teed into a very
capacious hall, where, o well as in the portico (if
tine apace under the roof of the colottade may be so
called), the servants belonging to the audience may
attend, secured from the weather, while waitiug the
. return of their employers. The ht:l is au oblong
quadrangle ; the length about that of the colonade ;
the breadth considerably wetter. Two columns
at either end. on the right and left of the entrance,
mark the entrance under arched ways, into awe
caroller squire apartment% which give facility to
various passages anti cornronniestions necessary to
a Theatre. This termination of the two shorter
aides of the square of the hall, has • very elegant
and light etre( t, and contributes much to the beauty
and propoction of that apartment.
Immediately fronting the centre door, on enter-
ing the hall, in proceeding too arda the audience
part of the house, is another large door, which, af-
ter the company has crossed, tutroduces them to •
rotunda. from which the various ways of admission
to whatever part of the Theatre they mean to visit,
are open to their choice. This rotunda has not
only an excellent effect, es imparting splendour.

*ea may be desired by 'be pones csocerned. We

esr.r.ot avoid here pausing on our detail, to cosign.
',date the public on the remedy thus present'!' to
one of the must formidable evils attendant on the
desire of modest females to enjoy the pie:mires of
the drama. It has heretofore been in vain that the
stage offered woral instructions and virtuous exam-
ples, while the lobbies through which our wives end
daughters were compelled to pass, chased the best
impressions from their minds, and contaminated
their purity by the arose licentiousness and ribadry,
from the view and hearing of which it was impossi-
ble to escape, and vrttn:h being only seen and heard
mast have the cooler; elice of sul!yiiig the brightest
virtue.

Mr. Wyatt deserves and has our wmmeat se.
knorol-aignient. fur his iugenuity in effecting, in a
meow not only congenial with, but oroanseotal to
the general design, the long wi.her for object of a
separation between those dines of the vititors to a
Theatre, which ought not to he intermingled; and
also for the removal of the seat of noise, folly, anti
confusion, from the quiet situation of the audience
intent ou the enjoyment of the scene. But to re-
turn to description. On the right and left of the
Rotunda (i.e. as yon enter) are entrances to Lobbies.
somewhat similar to the square-rooms adjothing the
Hall, but with this difference, that the tae of the
latter is to afford passages of communication around
the lower parts of the Theo.,. and of the former,
to insert the stairs winch teed to all the Boxes.—
From these Lobbies the stairs ascend in a tawnier
not easily to he described on paper (as indeed it
must be obvious to the reader, that to give a definite
acid correct idea of so complex a building as a
Theatre in this way, cannot but be very difficult) ;
suffice it therefore to say, that whether guided along
the wails in squares on each side, and ending in a
landing place, or thence rising in one broad stair like
an ascending arch, up the centre, to another landing
piece, they are alike remarkable fur ingenuity anti
beauty of construction, end for general utility. They
(the stairs) are uniformly broad, capacious, and easy.
They conduct to the several tiers of boxes in the
most simple and convenient mode possible to be
coticeived, and there can be no crowding, bustle, or
iuterruption, among the company. The facility of
egress and regress is astonishing, and with the
breadth of the stairs, gtves a welcome assurance to
an audience, that even in the unhappy event of
tire, they would have time and space to escepe-
w.thotit injury, and almost without confusion.
Indeed we may here notice, that all thr avenues
amid passsges to the The Are are remarkable for
spaciousness, arrangement, and conveitirency. Fur
the sake of perspieui'y, we shall here briefly reed-
pitulate the above description of the grand entrance
from Bridges-street t-Ist, The colonade • r porch ;
2d. The grand hall, with its two smaller apart-
ments--shove the hall, the saloon ; ad, The titian-
& (which separates the former front the audience
part), with its side lobbies, in which are situated
the stairs leading distinctly to all the tiers of
boxes.—The side entrances from Russell-street and
from Russell-court, have nothing particular in
them, and require no description.
Having, we trust, made the reader acquainted
with the externals of the intended New Theatre,
mud with the modes of admission.' we have now
only to add an account of its internal appearance,
both with respect to the stage and the eminence
part. We shall begin with the pit, of which no-
thing occurs to us to notice, but that it is smaller
than the pit of Covent-garden Theatre, and more
on a level with its entrances. There are no steep
steps necessary to enable the company to reach
their seats. Froth the stage to the back of the
dress-boxes, the space is sixteen feet less than in
Covent-girden. and between box and box, across
the pit. the distance is also less by seven feet. As
in old Drury. there ore boxes beneath the dress
circle, known (we believe) by the same of pit-
boxes, from their being nearly oo a level wills that
part of the house. Of these the numbers are eight
on each side, altinoiLth only in taw compartments,
in front, somewhat in shape of Saxon arches. These
ore prim; • te boxes, au4 give a light appearance to
the theatre, which the almost dead wall of Covent-
' rodeo denies to that house.
Of the boat' there are three circles, each con-
sisting of i 6 baste. hi 13 compartments, ai'h the
exception of so much of the upper circle, which
(ents the stage; and, as in Old Drury. is inter.
anted for a two shilling gallery. By this raisins,
shout one-third of the upper tier is cut off from the
boss, end forms a most excellent two shilling gal-
lery. Toe one shilling receptacle for the Gods, re•
ea,ohl.s that of Covent Garden. affording a bird s-
eye view of the star from arches, commonly called
pogrOP- holes.
on the bares a very materiel improvement is made.
by projecting the superior over the lower circles,
sod ibis* giving their inmates a security long want-
ed against missiles from the cutleries. from which
so much annoyance sod isaconveuience were fre-
quently experieured. The wall. of the centre tier
slopes from tine projection nap to the cushion, and
is nest splendidly designed and painted. This wilt
give a beautiful and useommon diversity to the ap.
promote of the Howe. The wall of the upper
tier is painted with sauque figures. and teat of the
dress circle is a moilarts ernamental style; but the

he iremored to more appropriate and 'Netted re.
i goons, where, as " sound ascends," their hoz will be
Lem troablesorne and inconvenient. We have only
to dal, -that all these tiers of boxes are free; the
only private boxes being those already specified, the
pit boxes. The area of the boxes is like the rosin
building, in the form of a horse-shoe, but a very '
ham y amendment is introduced at the termination
of the points on each side of the stage. These, in-
steed of being turned inwards to unite with.the nar-
rowed front offered by the stage, are turned with
gentle aid graceful sweep in the contrary
direction, so that the company in the boxes
nearest the performances. have a. good a view
c' the actors and action, as those draw"
o.ately in the centre of the house. This in beauty,
.‘• In convenience, is a very great and manifest a.
orciremeht. On the stage itself are four Weis ;
dr.* on each side. They are initiated like the stage
I axes in Old Drury ; hut, instead of the litarti
boxes in the Old Theatre, on a level with- tbe
dame of the stage and forming one of the three ea
each side, the present model has statues on each
side standing on the stage; above these are tae
boxes. and over them, twards the roof, the whet
surmounted by other figures. There is also a co-
lumn, in imitation of Oriental marble, on each side
of the stags, forming altogether very classical and
cheating wings to the proscenium,.
We have thus described, as accurately as the 1111 h•
ject permitted, the plan of the new theatre ; aim-
iog more, however, at the task of making ourselves
understood, than at line language. It is evident,
that the subject would he better understood by .a
view rd• the model, than by any image that can li-!
conveyed in words ; but to such as have not the
power of enjoying the former, we trust our attempt
will prove acceptable. We shall now conclude it
by congratulating the public on the prospect of
speedily enjoying the rational delights of the drama,
, on the 'cite of their old favourite Drury, in a new,
convenient, elegant, splendid, and appropriate
house.

JUDGMENT OF THE COURT.
B-4t SY NOT THE OBJEEF OF THE DELEGATE
Iva sow. al Ike Feeders/toe of F. HODDLISTOI
against KIRWAN and °THEM
On this important question. the Cou Re, this day,
after deliberating for several days. delivered its
pidginerit to this expreasatent :—That the pleas
should be over-ruled. and the demurrer showed.
The JUDOES delivered their opinions seriatim.
and decided with respect to the first plea. on the
principle taken by the Attorney General—that as
- between the sing and the subject no challenge to,
the favour would lie, and that was had.
With respect vs the second plea, the Court con-
curred in the distinction taken by the Counsel for
the Craven. that though, in counties at large. the
want of freehold was a good objection to a Grand
! Juror, yet, that in counties of cities and corporate
1 towns, the Crown had made a freeman a Juror, and
given him that son:Winn, which, in counties at large,
a freeholder had der.ved from his tenure.
Atroltmer-Gtecast—" Now that your Lord-
ships have disposed of the plea in abatement. 1 am
under the necessity of applying to you to lie a day
for the trial of those Tweeters. It would be de-
sirable that the trial should he brought on Wed-
nesday riext, if the Gentlemen on the other side
should have no farther dilatory plea or motion."
Mr. Busitowes denied that the pleas were such
as the law terms (history. The Traverser' were
most anxious for trial, and he had made two mo-
tions to prevent the postponement of it till neatTeren.
However, all thought it right to suggest. that
witnrsses were to be brought from distant parts of
the country, sod hoped that Monday se'unight, or
at sootiest Saturday next. would be fixed for the
trial.
After a con rrr s r firm between the Counsel on
both stiles, the Court fitted the day for Thursday
heat; and the Shenff, at the suggestion of the At-
, rornee-tienerid, was ordered. by the Court, to re-
turn a full Pannell.

MANDAIICS.

N, ROTA!! r. the Atteßaisin)? 01 CARTIMMIUST.,
Lord Ei.r.i.maraounit, on entering the Court,
inquired for tile. %Verve• or Jr. Garrote. who, at
d (event peri..ds, bad moved ou behalf of Dr.
l'oeab. Neither of those Leatoed Gentlemen
being preseut, his Lord•hip intimated a wish to
peruse the role granted to this case. as soon as it
was draWn up. It ought to be directed to the
Archbishop of Canterhutv, selling on him to hear
and determine.—The affidavit should be confined
to the facts respecting the application made to Vet
Grice, and his relneel. It was proper that the rule
should be directed to the Archbishop if Canter-
bury alone, as the Biehop of Louden bad professed
to have already !lewd and determined.
The ATTORNIiii-GENERAI, said, that Mr. Oar.
row's absence was OrCilsllllled by his unfortunately
pot lilting his wipers within his reach. He would,
however, comiiiiiiiicate to him what had fallen from
hi• Lorel.hip. He suppmed the application to the
Bishop of London should be mentioned in the first
place, and neat the affidavit should set forth
the refusal of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Lord EtrAtiaoaounit said, the application to
the Bishop of London might be mentioned, but
there was no neceseity to state all the circumstances.
The affidavit, as it at present stood, contained
much irrelevant matter.
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
THE KING C. FOOTI.

...
in this vsts-b Mr. SCARLIITT, on Friday hot,
moved fur a ill!, to shrw crust why a ci onset in-
forination should not tie tiled against the Defendant.
The motion wis grounded on the siblivit of a
Mr. Brent, of Old Burlington-street, who had been
guardian to the Defendant ; an 4 having expended
• cot:side. elite anon of money on itcstion, had,
on Defendant's coming of age, emnineoced an ac-
tion against I,;m for 8001. the amount of the debt.
The Defendant had pleJded hit notav, and the
action was withdrawn, by the advice of Mr. Brent's
friends. 'Die Defendant felt much indilnation
against Mr. Brent, in come/vie:ice of de suit, and

I -
repeatedly toughed him—particulatly, when he met
`him
a short time since in nond-Greet, *km
he endeavoured to provoke Mr. Brent t Oglar him.
As the adidarir, its its origioal state, contained a
variety of ex•raneons mmtter. the Court desired
Mr. S.:arlett to have the• ohjectiourble parts ex-
punged, and to present it an "'wended ahape. The
Learned Counsel, in conformey with this *untrue.
!lop. hail the necessary alterations aside, and the
affidavit, yis Emended, was this Jay laid before the
Court, and the rule, to esnortp,..nee, grouted.
