Mien-- K 5, Mr. T. SHEEIDAN, and , Mrs. HESEL-
TINE, all. distinguished themselves in the former
Piece ; and Lady CAR IR and Mr. liAwitENcE- were
as conspicuous in the Farce. Sir Charles' and Lady
Racket were so well performed_ by theme that- the
Farce went off with 'brilliant effect. . The dramatic
entertainments. were 'followed by a Ball, in which
the Dancers were quite-upon 3 level Nvith the thea-
trical I*i-formers, allowing for the difference' in the
respeEtive arts. • Most of the fashionable assemblage
present quitted the scene of splendid-hospitality and
varied amusement on Saturday.
Mr. LAWRENCE), the Artist, is the Gentleman
who has distinguished hiniself so much in the thea- '
trical amusements at Stanmore. He_ is so stlccess—
ful in his representations df charaaer on canvass,
that it is not surprizing to find that he displays equate

The third Meeting of the Glee Club was held on
Saturday last at the Crown and Anchor,Tavern.
Mr. GROONIBEIDGE was in the chair. Among the
,novelties of the evening was a Glee for five voices,
composed by Sporpoinu, which _was well given by
NEILD, SALE, Goss,- GoaF, and L'EETE. A new
-Dime, composed by Ari.voori„ with some of cling
words written by Mr. BowES, was introduced and
well received. The rest of -the music was sele6ted
with taste, and performed with great ability, and the
Meeting, as • usual, was marked as much by social
as by scientific harmony.

The -Undertaker inDistress.—,Eis Royal Highness
the DUKE of Ybitic.; last Thursday, observing one
of the Undertakers unemployed, at the time the il-
nerd procession of Lord NELSON was arranging at
the Admiralty, enquired into the' cause. The Un-
dertaker answered,-that he 'had no horse. His loyal
Highness iminediately ordered one of the dragoons
to dismount, , and the Undertaker was lifted into the
saddle, in his place. The animal immediately be-
gan ,to ..caper, and, on the sound of the trumpet,
backed into the ranks ; while the Undertaker; a real
descendant of Johnny, Gilpin, hugged the animal.
most lovingly round the neck.. All the speEtators
laughed heartily at the Undertaker, and, after en-
joying his distress for some time, at length_ relieved
-him from his perilous situation. The celebrated
COUllkliol- DUNNING was once in a 'similarly auk-
ivard predicament. When at Berlin, he went to see
a review near that city; 'FREDERICK the Great ob-
,serving him, mounted him upon a troop horse, and
'the Counsellor rode along, proud of the honour, for
some time, in the:Suite of the King. But the mo-
ment the 'review commenced, the horse dashed tor-
:ward to join his old companions in the. ranks, and
carried his terrified and reluQant rider through. all
the wheelings and_charges. of the day, to the no
small amusement of His MAJESTY.
