AnEr.ent THEATRE.—W(I had not room yes-
terday to notice a whimsical dramatic sketch,
Which was first brought forward at this conve-
nient and agreeable Theatre on Monday. The
title of this whimsical piece: is Success, or A Hit
If You Like ft.—Success is the daiighter of Fa-
shion, and the piece.humorously aeiludes to the
Patent Theatres, which are stated to deal so
much in the horrors of the German School, that
poor Melpomene and Thalia, the Patronesses of
the logitimste drama, which draws from nature
and truth, fur the purpose of laughing Fully out
of countenance and correcting Vice, by the mi-
sery it produces in the awful events and impres-
sive lessons of the Tragic Muse, are driven from
the Stage. But this is not. all—there are some
good hits at The Public- Journals, %, ho severally
appear in symbolic costume, and The Sun among
the rest. They are to be formed into a Com-
mittee, for the purpose of deciding which of the
candidates for the hand of Success is most enti-
tled to the jrite. lir rarldillatekt._
as • Pruins, imitating
KEAN ; YATEs' as MATriEws, and afterwards
as YoUNG.; TERRY as Al ephistophlles ; T.
T. P. Coo Ks:, as Zamiel, afterwards us Torn
Collin, (one of the characters in Success,) and
ItEcyrs again as Paul Pis, in imitation of Lis-
TO 'The Committee of Editors, are supposed
to differ as much in the Council as they do in
their Journals, and at length Fashion bestows
his daughter on honest Tom Coffin. The piece
was repeated last night before a very numerous
audience, and being well supported by .the Per-
formers in general, but particularly TERRY,
REF.vEs, T. I'. CooKE, and the indefati-
gable YATES,tuNcu,. as Fashion, was well received.
Mr. Cor.srA x was in one of the boxes, and heartily
joined in the general laughter nod applause, and
such a tribute from such a dramatist is no slight
compliment to the piece. The sportive sketch
was preceded by The Pilot, a popular piece, and
followed by The Young Widow, a very pleasant
farce.

11ATH, DEC. 13.-We have often had occasion
to feel proud of having reared many theatrical
plants which have spread to luxuriance, and
flourished in the dramatic ground of the Metro-
polis. Last night, we had an opportunity of as-
sertinff a new chain to the fame of judicious patron-
age. Mr.PERKINP., who found little scope for his
abilities in London, on this occasion performed
the part. of Octavian, in the Mountaineers, and
acquitted himself so well, that he not only re-
ceived warm and reiterated applause from the
audience, during the progress of the Play,
but a more marked testimony of approval on its
conclusion. I have heard that the Proprietors
and Conductors of our Theatre confirmed the
public opinion, with a hied, liberal, and encou-
raging reception of the new candidate. But I
shall be able to form a better opinion of his talents,
as I understand that he is to appear in Mac-
beth on Saturday. This character is really the
Bow of Ulyses, and if he has sufficient vigour of
Genius to bend it, he will triumph over any hostile
critics, as the Grecian hero did over the suitors of
Penelope. YOUR OLD CORRESPONDENT.

The statement in some of the Papers of yester-
day. under the head of City Intelligence, that a
Cabinet Council had been held in consequence of
the state of the Money-market, is not correct.
Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, a meeting of the
Lords of the Treasury was held at the Treasury
Chambers, 'Whitehall. • The Earl of LIVERPOOL
and the Chancellor of the Exchequer were pre-
sent. The Chancellor of the Exchequer came to
town from his house nt Beckenham, in Kent, to
attend the meeting. The Lord Mayor and se-
veral Gentlemen from the City, attended their
Lordships' meeting.
A Privy Council is summoned for to-morrow,
at which the RECORDER. of London will make a
report to the King of the prisoners who received
sentence of death at the October Old Bailey
Sessions.
