"TOL LOL DE ROL 1401..."

MR. EDITOR,--This season .of festivity rraturally
excites good humour therefore,' in pity for the
fallen state of " The Talents," I am disposed to
indulge their predelietion for novelty, by giving
them a new name, and that shall be a merry one ;
I will in future cull them the " Tol 10l de rot lots."
Their former description was:palpably a misnomer;
now the present will be at once characteristic of
the vacuity of their thoughts, and the levity of
their patriotism.

BATH, DECEMBER 30.

THE THEATRE.—The attraction of Mr. Wm;
M'Creatly crowded the house last night to its '
utmost scat. The pit and gallery overflowed be-
fore six o'clock, and multitudes, whom the fame
of. the new Romeo .had assembled early round the
doors, were unable to obtain -admission. We
must defer any critical examination of his very •
superior merits till our next ; briefly observing,
that the applause attendant on his efforts was
the loudest we ever recollect a Bath audience to•
.have been bestowed on any occasion. Mrs. Chat.
telly's Juliet also received and merited the warmest
tributes of:applause.
THE SECOND SUBSCRIPTION
Wednesday, in defiance of the severity of the"
weather„produced a full room ; and the selection
met the entire, approbation of the audience.;
Wranski's Grand Sinfonia was the first piece, and
which was led with great effect by Richards. 'The
new song, of Mr. C. Smith, was a good composi.
lion, . though too much- crowded by the instru-
mental accompaniments;, Brabant gave it all his
energy, which was amply acknowledged by the ad-
miring room. Rapturous encores-followed his own
song of " Thebewilder' d Maid," and "Robin Adair;"
whilst " The Deathof Nelson" was the climax of this
inspired performer's powers—displaying the liero'
s
spirit in war, and his pathetic fall, with wondrous
effect. The' f‘ Battle of Hohinlenden,7' spewed
Mr; C. Smith:to be a master of his profession,
both as a.composer and singer ; and his pleasing
ballad gave further proof of his abilities.—Mrs.
Ashe and Braham's duet was sung con amore, and'
was universally encored ; and, nothing conk! -be
more delightful than the terzetto by Mrs. Ashe,
Mr. A. Loder, and Mr. C. Smith. The Trumpet
Concerto. of Mr. Schmidt, surpassed -cc.nception—.
it was surprising.

The Public must have observed within the last
few weeks an Amazing numbpr of what are termed
French sixpences in circtitatinn; they are in fact
the half livre of -France, -passing in that country
for five-pence, and consequently yielding 20 per
cent. profit to the Collectors 10 France, who ex-
port them to England. The? are principally
Frenchmen eta aged in thii traffic, and the amount
brought in within the last month is almost lucre-‘
dible. Several bankers and other petsons in the
city have been offered Lirge palcels, some as high .
