ASTLEY'S.

The entertainments at this theatre were as inte-
resting as they were diversified. The Battle of
Waterloo was revived with, if possible, still greater
effect than heretofore, and DUCROW, in the Circle,
outdid his former feats. The Death of Tom Moody,
or harlequin's Sporting Kalendar, notwithstanding
its title, kept the house in continued laughter; the
Ascot Heath Races, by real horses, was a capital re-
presentation of the neck-or-nothing affair of the real
turf; it was almost impossible to manage it better,
and the best proof of this was the enthusiastic ap-
plause bestowed on it by all parts of the house; in-
deed, the performances altogether were so well got
up, that none but the most fastidious could find fault.

Mr. MASSINGHAM, we perceive, takes his
benefit to-morrow evening at Drury-lane Theatre. An
attractive bill of fare is put forth, and will, no doubt,
attract a crowded house.

Greenwich was yesterday a scene of great ani-
mation and gaiety. The fair attracted much company,
who enjoyed the amusements until a late hour. Every
arrangement was made to preserve order, ar,4 the frolics
of the fair presented a succession of 9ntertainments, not
being the less acceptable from being highly grotesque and
ludicrous. Two hays were exhibited, said to be united
like the Siamese twins, between whom a quarrel was ex-
cited by one of the spectators, when in the height of the
passion they broke their band, and proceeded to fight each
other, but were soon separated by tae police. A rough
fellow, who represented hirnulf superior to the Fire King,
swallowed a table-spcon full of what he called arsenic, and
after writhing and twisting for some time, commenced
dancing a hornpipe, but soon desisted, as the dose began
to operate, being composed of anagoesia and jalap, admi-
nister, d by one of his colleagues in the character of a
physician. The Park had its usual attraction, in which
the ladies rolling down One-tree-hill displayed their
charms to the greatest advantage. The sports are
repeated this day and to-morrow.

The popular author of the " English in
Italy," it appears, is *ant to produce a pendant to that
work under thg thin of the " English at Home." One
of the tales (for there are several) is understood to be con.
tinted with the fortunes of the son of an English Earl.
Singular as this narrative is said to be, 4 has been affirmed
that there is more of truth in it than of faction.

Mr. D'lsßAq.i, it► the concluding volumes
of his " IW,einuirs of CHARLES the First," has thrown an
cntire}y new light on the private life of that Monarch, and
on the influence which the QUEEN gad on the KING'S
conduct. This, together with the curious and valuable
details relative to slc PzEcir family, particularly as re-
gards th? Countess of CARLISLE, invest the present volumes
with all the attraction of secret hiAktor.y..

By the recent arrivals from Calcutta, it ap-
pears that only a single Puisne Judge, Sir EDWARD
RyAti, remains to discharge the functions of the Supreme
Court. Sir JOHN FRANKS has been obliged to go to tbi.
Cape of Good Hope for his health ; and the Chief Justice,
Sir CHARLES GREY, has departed ca a tour with the
GOVERNOR GENERAL. Thi,s iil-timedset;ession from his
judicial duties on tile part. of .the CHIEF J-os:ricE, has
