Scene 1. ABODE of KaGyne, THE ENCHANTRESS.—Date and lo-
cality not exactly known, but considered by the Antiquarian Society
to have been discovered " somehow or other," " some time or other,"
near " somewhere or other." Kalyba (the Enchantress, not by Balfe,
mistress •f all the elements, except those of " Arithmetic," having
quite miscalculated her power), Mr. H. Ilorncastle ; Fiends and Fu-
ries (iliastrating a common expression of speech, with anything but
a common expression of countenance), Messrs. J. W, Morgan, Burt,
Connell, and H. Payne ; Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, (the four Ele-
ments, with a strong love of mischief), by Dealers in each ; the
March of Intellect (travelling " incog." as " Young England," a true
bit of British blood, by Intellect out of Industry, dam by Science,
out of Perseverance, has never been beaten, and can be matched
against anything), Miss Annie Payne.—How the March of Intellect
pays a " flying visit" to Kalyba ; and how, being empowered by the
Committee on National Education, he gives the old lady sudden no-
tice to quit, by as suddenly charging the premises to
Beene 2. INTERIOR OF INFANT SCHOOL.—Schoolmaster, Mr. Bigr

brated for a battle he fought with a dragon, but at present without
any knowledge of " arms," except his nurse's), Miss Marks ; Masters
Andrew, David. Patrick, Denis, James, Anthony (very youthful
knights, but destined, with their " cousin George," to astonish the
natives by and by as " The Seven Champions of Christendom"), Mad-
ters Coyle, Savell, Dix, Welsh, Desborg, Francis.—How the youthful
St. George is feted on his birth-day—how he makes his" first," and
nearly his " last " appearance is public on the occasion—how his
"cousins " Andrew, David, Patrick, Denis, James, and Anthony
come to A ish him many happy returns of the day—and how Kalyba
shows her " love of children" by taking the " whole brood under
Zaer wing."
NOTICE.—" Nothinge material to our historic" occurring during
a period of fifteen years, the author trusts that the audience will al-
low him to cut it, and come again to
Scene 4. KALYBA's House OF CORRECTION !—St. George of Eng-
land (a rum'un to look at, but a rare'un to go), Mr. W. H. Payne;
Andrew of Scotland, St. David of Wales, St. Patrick of Ireland
St. Denis of France, St. James of Spain, St. Anthony of Italy (all
pretty much of the same kidney !) Mr. Heath, Mr. Douglas, Mr.
Marks, Mr. Chapino, Mr. Sanger, Mr. J. Haynes.—How St. George
and his brother champions (considerably grown since their last ap-
pearance ht public) are kept in durance vile, and on " very short
commons" by Kalyba—how Kalyba pops her affections on St. George
who " can't abide her"—in short, how—but we won't anticipate—
merely observing, that the upshot is the Downfall of Kalyba, and
the Emancipation of the Seven Champions of Christendom !

dom set out for their respective destinations—" the management
Laving, in the handsomest manner," made special arrangements for

Matthews ; Ptolemy, King of Egypt (rather a remote ancestor of
Ibrahim Pacha, better known as Abraham Parker), Mr. Priorson.
Moorish Sailors, Attendants on King Ptolemy, &c. How lmanzor
came to Egypt to be married—the Princess having a decided objec-
tion to their being " bound in Morocco ;" and how St. George, not
Laving even " dipped" into the question of " lights," runs his
steamer on shore, and saves himself on the funnel.
Scene 7. GRAND HALL IN TAB PALACE OF PTOLEMY THE FIRST,
Kum OF Eovpr.—The Princess Sabra, Mr. Ilance, about to be mar-
ried to the King of Morocco, but patriotically devoting herselt to the
digestive organs of the Dragon (a gentleman, whose prodigious
allowance of jaw enables him to speak fcr nimself ), Mr. Wieland.
Ilow this " marriage in high life" is sad ;only interrupted by the
Dragon, who, not only forbids the banns ; but elopes with the bride;
thereby plunging " her illustrious parents and several families of dis-
tinction at the west-end of the town into the deepest affliction," &c.
(vide Morning Papers).
