dell Amor .Fratfrito was performed on Saturday last
at the

'difficult Airs, and a printed apology was therefore
circulated. What she did, however, she, did with'
exquisite beauty.' Dts HAYE4 and P .44110 T ac.

Titan-rev.— The struggle for admission
into coverts Garden'Theatre on Saturday lakt to see
Master BETTY,
,in Your;s, exceeded even
that which took place on his first appearance,at
that Theatre. The great pressure was it the Bow.
''street door leading to the Boxes.. In consequence
of the vast throes that occopleil the. area snow-
klUtaly communicating with the street, and the pain
and danger sufi'ered by the people, they were
permitted to pass into the saloon between the door
where money Is taken end that where checks are re.
This saloon, however, was filled in a too.
Mem, and the cbeck.takerti, though supported by a
considerable body of Peace.offieets, were unable to
resist the torrent. An hundred personssot least,there.
fore, entered without paying for admission. In this
dreadful struggle husbantfa were divided from their
waits, parents from their daughters, and the whole
10/3$ a scene of the most Pitiable anxiety and distress.
Oneyoung man, w ho appeared to be inliquor, presented
pistols tO the'Peace Officerg. and was very properly
taken into custody. The whole of the first aft
of the Play passed in oil bttence and confuaion. At
length the entrance of Little BETTY, in the se.
cond afi, allayed the storm, and the 'fragetly thee
proceeded without further disturbance. This admir.
able boy went through the interesting part of
Derrear,with even more 1111iTC15 than on the former
night. Ile. was more impassioned in the animated
passages, and exhibited such troth, simplicity, and
expression, as excited the highest applause. The
part of Lard Randolph, in consequence of the, in.
disposition of Mu/may, was assigned to CHAP.
MAIN. The conclosiott of the play waif attended
by the wartpcst fribute of applause to the little
Hero of the night.
