ROSAMOND'S POND,. •
As it has been falsely called of late yetirs,--in the romantic
wilderness of the Green lark, has been lately. excavated, by
that species of animal, called Navigators: they have been six
,weeks, at work, and cleared the bed from prodigious quantities
of mud, with which they have restored the banks, which were
in a sadly dilapidated state;and the double row of elms were in
danger of falling. It is exactly thirty years since the place was
cleared out.

THE THEATRE.

HATMARKET.—We have seldom seen, in later
days, the Comedy of The Clandestine Marriage
much better supported. than it was (it this Theatre
on. Saitirday last. FARREN'S Lord Ogilby was
diverting and ant extravagant. COOPER was very
_ respectable In Lorewell, and cIIESTXII as
interesting a Fawn/ as we ever witnessed. Wit.-

titled insotsiii pustle a COnjuror.. The plot. is
founded upon the history .of Peter the Great of
Russia, who visited' different countries in order
to obtain a knowledge .of their. arts for the im-
provement of his own. The scene of this farce
lies at Saardam, where the Czar (Coon's). works
as a journeyman shipwright, with another Peter,
(limuty), a fellow-labourer in the same plaCe.
It appears that several Potentates' have sent. Am-
bassadors after the Czar, in hopes of priority in
entering into a treaty with bim. The Burgomaster
of the town (LarroN) is applied to, and a rewardis offered him if be can discover the Czar. He
is a silly, illiterate man, who, can neither write
nor read, and the. chief humour of the Piece.
arises from his attempts to- 'conceal his igno-
ranee, and to shew his sagacity .in discover.
the Czar. The subject' of the concealment of
the Czar has been several times dramatized,
and the present Piece is hardly inferior to its
predecessors. LISTON is the main-spring of the
Piece, and his acting was admirable throughout.
LCOOPER gave energy to the part of the Czar, and
HARLEM and Mrs. CIIATTCRLEY, in the second
Peter and his betrothed wife, eminently contri-
buted to support the Farce. It was received
with the full approbation of a numerous audi-
ence, when announced by LISTON for repetition,
in his whimsical character of the illiterate but
conceited Burgornaster.-. 'The Farce. is attributed
to Mr. POOLE. ,

Mr. ABBOTT, late of Coveot-Garden Theatre,
opens the Dublin Theatre on the 23d of next
month. lie has engaged a respectable Company,
and is likely to be very, successful. 44 The note
of preparation" has been sounded, and an abund-
ance of artificers of various descriptions are in
active requisition for the decoration and improve-
ment of the Theatre. Mr. ARBOTT has so long
held a very respectable estimation on the Lon-
don boards that ho may axpect a favourable re-
ception on those of the Sister Metropolis.
