Sun !try Tfleavat.---This Theatre opened for
the winter season (when will the summer arrive ?)
last night. The performances consisted of three
pieces, the first was entitled Antigone, or the
Theban Brothers ; the second, Winning a Has-
band, or Seven's the Main; and the last Laurel/a,
or the Forest of Underzvald ; all of which
were received with applause by a crowded au-
dience. The interior of the Theatre has been
ornamented and beautified in a very elegant
manner, and is not excelled by any similar esta-
blishment in the metropolis. The scenery is
well painted, and the stage company is so nume-
rous as to afford ample scope for the most splen-
did processions, exhibitions, &c. &c.
ROYAL COBURG THEATRE.—Thend was a new
melo-dramatic Romance last night at this Theatre,
entitled Thalaba the Destroyer—taken from Mr.
SOUTHEY'S Poem of that name. It was a very
splendid and interesting production, and was
received with great applause. lIUNYLEY and
Miss EnutsTarr were the hero and heroine, and
they acquitted themselves very ably. The
scenery was appropriate, elegant, and beautiful.
The last piece was entitled, A Soldier's Faith,
or Love, Honour, and Revenge; and this also
was well received by a very numerous audience.

A fashionable Doctor lately informed his
friends, in a large company, that he had been
passing eight days in the country : 46 Yes (said
one of the party), it has been announced in one
of the Journals."—" Ah ! (said the Doctor,
stretching his neck very importantly), pray in
what terms ? "—" In what terms ! Why, as
well as I can remember, in the following :
"l'here were last week seventy-seven interments
less than the week before,' "—The Doctor's neck
was seen suddenly to shrink down, till his head
nearly touched his shoulders ; and shortly after
he was missed from the saloon, to the no small
diversion of the company.

Dr. CHAUNCEY, a well-known book collector
of former days, whose opinion of the value of a
volume, as indicated by his hiddingi, was eagerly
watched at book auctions, devised the following
method of freeing himself from the competition
which always attended any apparent design on
'his part to purchase. He would say privately to
the auctioneer, " As long as I hold my gold-
headed cane under my chin, mark, this is a bid-
ding; and when I remove my cane from under
my chin, mark you, my biddings are at an end."
—This gentleman was knocked down by the
younger LANDFORD, in his auction-room, Covent-
garden (now RouiNs's), as FOOTE observes in
one of his farces, instead of a lot.

And, Atuotiims's arts scalve had won him,
But his friends for hisliappiness felt,
'And obligingly fored„her upon him.
