ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.

The first night of the dramatic season was celebrated
on the Ist just., by the production of a new gorgeous
Hippo-dramatic spectacle of enchantment, in two acts,
by Mr. St. Clair Jones, entitled The Bride of Golconda,
or the Genius of the Ring. Without ranking so high as
Peter the Great did last season in interest or effect, when
it was produced with such signal effect under the
admirably efficient stage-mauagement of Mr. Leclercq,
and enhanced by the noble acting of Mr. Ryder, the
new piece is one, nevertheless, that reflects considerable
credit on the resources of the establishment. Amurath,
the Sultan of Golconda (Mr. Maddocks), a potentate of
lofty mien and glittering garb, after returning from the
Ahairea, or Spring Hunt, in a thorough Astleian style
of oriental magnificence, is smitten by a holy desire to
make his tearful meditations at the tomb of his sainted
sire. Whilst paying the tribute of affection at the mau-
soleum of the late respected Sultan, he is favoured by
the apparition of the genius Syndarac, on his charmed
steed. This excellent spirit, who presides over the
destinies of the royal race, presents him with a mystic
ring, which is to act as a monitor by inflicting digital
pain whenever he is about to misbehave himself.
Nevertheless, despite its warnings, he allows him-
self to be so far infatuated by jealousy, raised
in his breast by the villainous machinations of
Hassan, his commander-in-chief (Mr. Dolman), who
aspires to possess the fair Selina (Miss Fenton), the be-
trothed bride of Amurath, that, blinded by wrath, he
attempts to stab her as she sleeps. Now, kings who are
favoured by the visible friendship of beneficent genii,
should pay due reverence thereto, or they are sure to
smart for it; and the passionate prince, ere he can effect
his sanguinary purpose, is suddenly transformed by the
exasperated Syndarac into a hairy monster, a wild man
of the woods, and transported into a savage region of
rocks and torrents. Here he undergoes the enjoyment
of being hunted by a strong posse of his subjects, horse
and foot. Valiant is his resistance, and superhuman is
his strength. " The misbegotten knaves" (not, however,
in Kendal green) " let drive at him" in all quarters.
Tearing up a sapling of the forest, he knocks them down
by halt-dozens at a time, for at three fell swoops we wit-
nessed eighteen Paeans drop like nine-pins. Numbers,
however, prevail, and after this tearing ohne' which
afforded exquisite pleasure to the spectators, the brutified
Sultan is captured, and marched off to the royal mena-
gerie. During these mishaps, Hassan. who is an unmi-
tigated villain, plots to usurp the throne, now filled by
Allbeg, the late Vizier, and father of Selina. All parties
paying a visit to the menagerie, the carious proceedings
of the monster awaken suspicions in the Princess, and
greatly puzzle all the visitors. A tiger somehow gets
loose, and would infallibly devour the Princess, who is
left alone by the sudden flight of all the rest of the party,
but the hairy man rushes on and strangles it. He is
now considered to have expiated his misdeeds, and re-
appears in his proper form in time to suppress the war
kindled by the traitor Hassan. This wretch had for-
merly made love to Zerliuda (Miss M'Lean), the daugh-
ter of Almalal (Mr. S. Smith), formerly a general in the
Golconda army, but for some time an exile, who, by the
way, comes in very good time to head the loyal troops.
Zniinda, discovering his faithlessness and her rejection
for the more eligible Selina, becomes duly infuriated, and
with terrible denunciations (which were rapped out with
an energy that made the house resound) is about to im-
molate her rival, when the übiquitous Genius interposes,
