Scene 1. ABODE OF KALYBA, 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 Baife,
mistress of all the elements, except those of " Arithmetic," having
quite miscalculated her power), Mr. H. Horricastle ; Fiends and Fu-
ries (illustrating 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, (tile four Ele-
ments, with a strong love of mischief), by Dealers in each ; the
March of Intellect (travelling " m cog." 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 changing the premises to
Scene 2. INTERIOR OF INFANT SCHOOL—Schoolmaster, Mr. Big-
wig, who, at the request of his " Illustrious Visitor," gives the boys
a half-holiday on tit:, occasion.
Scene 3. EXTERIOR AND BARSACAN OF COVENTRY CASTLE.—

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"), Mas-
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 ix public on the occasion—how his
" cousins " Andrew, David, Patrick, Denis, James, and Anthony
come to n ish him many happy returns of the day—and how Kalyba
shows her " love of children" by taking the " whole brood under
her 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

commons" by Kalyba—how Kalyba pops her affections on St. George,
who " can't abide her"—in short, how—but wo won't anticipate—
merely observing, that the upshot is the Downfall of Kalyba, and
the Emancipation of the Seven Champions of Christendom !

PORTSOKEN WARD.
At a COURT of WARDNIOTE, holden in and for the said
Ward, before the Worshipful FRANCIS GRAHAM MOON, Esquire,
Alderman, on Monday, the 21st day of December instant, and by
adjournment, to the 22d and 23d instant, for the choice of Ward
officers for the year ensuing— _

It was unanimously resolved—
That this Wardmote considers the privilege claimed by the Court
of Aldermen to originate all ordinances, resolutions, &c., to amend
the bye-laws intended for the good government of this City, and
thereby interfering with the qualification of persons to be elected
members of the Court of Common Council, is contrary to the spirit
of the age, and destructive of the rights of free citizenship.
That this Wardmote condemns the right of the Court of Aldermen
to draw sums of .money from the City's cash (further than for the
due administration of justice) without the consent of the Court of
Common Council, they (the Aldermen) not being subject to re-ele.:-
tion, and consequently irresponsible to the freemen of this City for
the just expenditure thereof.
That the thanks of this Wardmote be given to Francis Graham
Moon, Esquire, Alderman, for his great attention to the public duties
devolving on him as a magistrate of this City, for his kindness and
tlrtianity to tho inhabitants of this Ward, and for his able and impar-
tial conduct in the chair during the continuance of the Wardmote.
That the best thanks of this Wardmote be given to George Wright,
Esq., Deputy; William Christie, John Parker, Samuel Hawkins
Jutsum, Thomas Carlyle Halyard, John Danford, James Killby, and
James Richard Thomson, Esquires, who have this day been re-
elected Common Councilmen of this Ward, for their services in the
Court of Common Council during the past year, and the constant at-
tention paid by them to the comfort of the inhabitants, and the local
interests of the Ward.

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

own Lord High Admiral, Commander-in-Chief, &e., on his way to
King Ptolemy's Court, to court King Ptolemy's daughter), Mr. T.
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 ilmanzor
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. •

That the foregoing resolutions, signed by the Ward Clerk, be in.
serted in the usual papers.
Dec. 23, 1846. WILLIAM MORSE BATH°, Ward Clerk.

Scene 7. GRAND HALL IN THE PALACE OF PTOLEMY THE FIRST,
KING OF EGYPT.—The Princess Sabra, Mr. Hance, about to be mar-
ried to the King of Morocco, but patriotically devoting herself to the
digestive organs of the Dragon (a gentleman, whose prodigious
allowance of jaw enables him to speak tor himself ), Mr. Wiellnd.
flow this 'marriage in high life" is suddenly 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," .Ste.
