Mr. ALLlNonim's new Musical Piece was yes-
terday read to the Performers who. are to be con-
cerned in it, at Covent Garden Theatre. It is said to
be characterized by all the original, whim which ap-
pears in the other produitions of the same Author.
STEPHEN KEMBLE is now at Edinburgh endea-
vouring to procure the reversion of the Patent of the
Theatre in that City, which be was promised many
yeara ago, but' could not then obtain, owing to the
superior interest of 311 r. EsTEN.
EXTRAORDINARY lloamy.—Mr. LANZA, who-
composed the music to the After-piece entitled The
Deserts of Arabia, presented a TrzieUth cake and a
dozen of Port to the Musical Band of Covent-Garden

Theatre on Tuesday last. It was determined that
the -intended festival on this occasion:should be ad-
journed till the following night—the Cake and the
Wine in the interim were deposited, under lock and

key in the Hair,dresser's Rooin. When, hoWever,
the Musicians were all in concert and ready to play
their parts with great activity at the luxurious
board, neither Cake nor Wine could be found.—
The cruel spoiler• has not been discovered. It might
be imagined that " the old Mouse of the Green
Room," and his family, .had -contrived to nilible
away the Cake ;
_bbt they can -hardly be suspeaed
of having (peed qff all the Wine. ,
The title of MottToN's new Comedy is not yet
fixed, but it will probably be called Town and Coun-.
The scene of anion lies in both, and thd
manners of both form the subje6t of the Fable.
It is somewhat curious that QUICK,
.who has so
long been a prop of the Theatre, should have been
thrown from the Stage.
kiXTRAORDINARY PUN --A whimsical Dramatist
hearing the cry of
." BURDETT for ever I" .during
the Middlesex Ele&ton, observed, that it reminded
biro of Prometheus, who was to be lird-cat for ever.
