BUXTON, Oc.r.

PEtcHArs in, no place in the British Empire have
the expressions of joy, upon a small scale, been
more apparent than at Buxton, so celebrated for its
Spa and salubrious Warm Baths.
Yesterday morning the Post, which had been
anxiously expeeted, was welcomed in with the most
joyful acclamations.
_ _

'At dawn of day the drum beat—the Town's Peo-
ple 'assembled, and with a good band of music pa-
raded the streets--cockades in every hat, joy in.
every countenance ! Every one seemed emulous to
excel in liberal demonstrations of that heartfelt sa-
tisfaaion which was common to All. Copious liba-
tions were poured out to Peace and Plenty! loyal,
.patriotic, and constitutional toasts were drank ; and
the whole Cavalcade seemed inspired with gladness
and harmony.
In the evening, there was a general and very
.ele-
gant Illumination, the beauty of which was greatly
assisted by the fineness. of the evening; the various
forms:and peCuliar situations of the buildings, and
chiefly by the struaute of that superb
:and admin..
Isle edifice the Crescent; the windoWs.of.which were'
all lighted up in a pyramidical form: Luminous
figures, painted devices, and transparenCies,..were
displayed in different parts of the Town. At night
there was a grand bonfire at the Cross; and upon
the principle of enabling the laborious class of Peo-
ple to forget the sufferings which they so patiently
sustained during the War—go encontage them to
look forward' " with hope; and to appreciate highly.
theblessing of returning Peace, the Populace were
legated with several barreli of ale.
-The day was uncommonly auspicious, exhibiting
a -fine blue sky, and the evening remarkably. calm:
The prospect, from the hill fronting the Crescent;
was in the highest degree iMptessiVe.and sublime !
The immediate refulgence of an almost connected
blaze of lightthe dark shade of the adjoining
hills—Larid the distant horizon terminating the view,

There was a Ball in the evening at the Great
Hpteli where almost all the Pashionables of the
}Mace attended ; and the day concluded with the
Utmost hilarity and joy. •

THE THEATRE,

Covent Carden. .'t

A sudden indisposition prevented Mrs. Br L LING.
Tori from performing last night at this ,Theatre,
and the Comedy of Speed the Plough • was, there-
fore, substituted for the Opera. of Arteixrli-es.
.The
absence of this exquisite PerforMer was of course
great drawback On. the profits of the night, but
the House was tolerably-well attenJed..
As Mr. H. joi-iNs-ro,Dr7. is still on the sick-list;
his part of Henry was assigned to Mr: BRUNTON,
who supported it with a degree of ability which re.-
quire& no apology for the unexpetled adoption of it.
There is in Mr. BRiINTON'S general manner .an in-
genuous' simplicity, blended with- the fervour of
youth, very well suited to this.charaaer. He played
with such unaffected emotion and•good sense, as
made a strong impresssion on the Audience, and
procured him a considerable share of applause.
Mr. LACY again performed the part of Sir Philip
Plana:ford, with an evident display of judgment,
and an assumption of the manners of declining life,
hardly to be expeded in so young a man. Parental
:tenderness, and a spirit struggling with remorse,
tetror,
,and dejeelion, were well represented. His
utterance, however, is rather too slow and languid,
even with all due allowance for supposed age, soli,
citude, and debility.

Mrs. H. JOHNSTON resumed her part of Miss
Blandford. She was more playful than Mrs.
Li TcIiFIELD, but not quite sti charafteristic. The
part is indeed too much in the style of the German
School, which allows Young Ladies to make tender
advances to the objet of their partiality, and this
feature -in the, charaaer Mrs. H. JoHfcsi:ox does
not properly soften, but rather augments.
• Dile ND E N and FAwc ETT,ITI Sr; Able nandy, and
his, accomplished Son Bob, gave, as usual, a strong
support to the Pieces and were not a little diverting,
to the Galleries.
