For every Godly purpose apt,

of this day, and as they really give a just description of the new
Member for Cambridge University', whose character is highly
esteemed by all who know him—we suspect that the author of
the Poem has duped the,Editor of the Paper, and induced him
to insert triit's under the pretence of irony.

THE THEATRES.

--,
DRURY.LANE.—,The heavy Tragedy of The
Revenge, in which the Author seems to have
been ambitious to enter lute' a hopeless contest
with Othello, was represented' lastnight at this
Theatre, and as Mr...You:go' is now the best re-
presentative of Zanga which the ,London Stage
can supply, we were glad to see him attended by
a very numerous audience. ills performance of
the parr ityal—nOU only correct, but highly ani-
mated and expressive. Mr. COOPLR ticted with
his usual judgment and feeling in Alonzo, and Mrs.
\V.WFST was very affecting in the part of Leonora.
The Play was followed bya new Panternime, en-
titled harlequin and the Golden Axe. The story is
simply this : A Wood Cutter drops his axe in a
lake, and while heis bewailing -the loss, a fairy
appears who promises. to restore it. She invokes
the Spirits of the Lake, who first bring up a silver
axe •by which the Fairy means to ascertain'
whether the Peasant can be tempted by avarice,
but:be honestly declares that his,axe was not
silver, and.4..does 'the same by a gold one after
wards presented to him, and thelairy presents
the latter one to him as a reward for his inte-
grity.
.'The father of Columbine has rejected the
lireod-cntter,. but is tempted by the golden axe
to assent to their marriage. The father then tries
with his servant his own fortune by throwing his
axe into the lake, and the Fairy again' appears.
She tempts him also with the golden axe, which
he declares to be his own. As a punishment, she
dooms hititand his servant to becoMe thePaittalpon
and the Clown, and the Woodcutter is rewarded
by being invested with the transforming powers
of Harlequin, and is accompanied by his fair
rustic as the Colonibine. There is also the addi-
tion of Scarwuouch as Harlequin's servant. ,The
usual pursuits and escapes then commence, and
the Fairy finally appears to close their labours,
and make them all happy in antagnificent temple.
--LThere ate some beautiful scenes, and many
ingenious transformations The Pantomime chit».
meters were all well supported, 'but We were
surprised that Harlequin did, not make one
leap through the Whole of the -piece. Con
siderink that this Pantontirne has been pre-
pared in six- days, it is an extraordinary work,
and, with such improvements as• practice may
,suggest, will pass muster, though it encaanterod
much hostility at the closer but :the ayes were
certainly in its favour.
CovENT-GAR DEN.---The Tragedy. or virginba.
the. part of Virginias by Mr. MACagAnirt and that
of kith's by : Mr.' C. KEMTILE, attracted a very
numerous audience last night ; .they both were
highly applauded.—The wonders of Harlequin
and the Ogress followed, Ott detained the whole
of the audience, who seemed to be highly gra,
titled, till the final dropping of the curtain.
ADELPFII THEATRE.---The extraordinary sac.
cess of Tom and Jerry. at this Theatre hits in-
dated the Managers, those Col:Whirl n heroes
baying sufficiently' played their parts In London,
to send them on an excursion to Paris, where
they are supposed to appear last night. There
are several' geed views 91 well-known scenes in
that capital. The characteta are well sustained,
the incidents ludicrous, nail the whole is amus.
jag. The house was crewiled to ,excess at an
early hour. and the entertainment well received.
"01.41(312P1C 7 TH,O.ATRE.---: This. Theatre, which
has been one of the most auicessful of ill Minor

BA DDELEY'S TWELFTH CAKE.^-^.lllO annual
ceremony in commemoration of BADIVELEY'S be-
quest of a Twelfth Cake and a Bowl of Punch
took place last night as usual in the Green-room
of Drury-Lane Theatre. Several of the per-
formers, with Mr. T. Dran!x and Mr. WlNsTont,
were present. The first toast was to the memory
of Mr. BAUDELEY, the founder of the feast ; and
the next to the restoration of Mr. &LISTON) who,
we are glad to learn, is nearly ►recovered. This
annual repast brings the theatrical community to-
gether in good humour, and is a proof of the
laudable attachment of the donor to the profes-
sion of which he was an able member.
