THE THEATRES.

YMARKET.--We were glad to see the ster-
ling old comedy of The Busy Body revived at
this 'Theatre last night ; for though it partakes of
the freedom of the age in which it was written,
yet, by the variety of its characters, and the ob-
stacles with which they have to contend, it is ad-
mirably calculated to amuse a mixed audience.
It‘was altogether so well supported, as to deserve
•' a more numerous audience. HAliLny's Marptot
146- very amusing, and FA nnEsi's Sir Francis
Gripe a model of amorous folly and avarice.
VINING, though light and bustling, has not the
critical ease of Sir George Airy. Mrs. G inns,
unequalled in chamber-maids, was one of the
chief props of the Piece. Sprightliness and easy
hanwur characterized the Miranda of Miss Cn
es-
nit, and the whole was so pleasant, that we
shall readily attend a repetition of this humorous
effusion of female genius.
ENousu OPERA 110 USE.—A new Farce, en-
titled Jonathan in England, was brought forward
last night at this,Theatre. It is founded chiefly
on. Mr. AlATittws'a late Entertainment at this
Theatre, and was intended, to give scope to his
Imitation of the manners of the mere trading part
of the Americans, without any design' of depre-
ciating their general character as a people. In
this view it fully accomplished its object. It
Presented Mr. IVIATnEws with all that dry hu-
moar which he is so Nveil calculated to display,
and the Piece, on the whole, was so well received,
US to promise a successtul career. The second
novelty last night was a Piece of a more serious
description, though not unmingled with farcical
incidents : it is called The Frozen Lake. The
following sketch will let our Readers into the
PLOT.
The Prince's Louisa (Miss Nopr.), daughter of the Grand
Dui° of Suatia (Mr. BART! /'N'). is solicited in marriage by

by the splendour of the resses and the y,
