ASTLEY'S THEATRE,

Great praise is due to Mr. Batty for his admirable manage-
anent of. this theatre, not only with respect to the scenery,
dresses, and decorations, but especially for the variety of the
eutertainments. Crowds nightly assemble to admire those
'wondrous feats of horsemanship, so ably kerformed alike by
'teed and rider—to laugh at the frolics'of Clown and Panta-
loon, and view Tam o' Shanter watching the gambols of the
Midnight fairiei, even-as when drawn by the pen of Burns—
eut above all, to behold this magic stage "revive the spirits of
!b.'s-mighty dead," and recal those stirring scene
The Battle
of Waierloo is a - theme which ever finds an echO
“1 the heart of a Briton, and calls to his cheek the honest
glow of patriotism and delight.. Not only do we behold the
"m'srds of British faces kindling with joy at the remembrance
of their victory, but wewitne.ss-a far higher and nobler senti-
ilttant, we see them applauding the acts of an enemy. Napo-I
'e°ll, he who while he lived was,
.if possible, hated in Eng 4
"ild, even. as be was loved in he who
awe,was once the watchword of _bathe and de
"ruction, now walks the Englishstaq amid th
Plandite of his former enemies. Wheii` "he exclaime
allmust own he was called to the tlitont IT'the
:itstile nation, thunders of applause proclaimed-ih-e-sympatb
British audience with the power of the People--whe
dhe gave the cross of honour to the Highlander refusing t
raY his cOUntry—when he declared, though he believed in
0,114?3', he depended on himself—and when he confessed the
intrepidity of his foemen, again and again the
can- of the audience illustrated the proverb, " The brave
never hate the brave." Though the renowned Waterloo
'/as but
th a stage, though Gomersall and not Napoleon stood
Itires though the audience comprised but a few out of mil-
IGna, Yet their conduct is a sample of the feeling of this
""trY towards him whom she vanquished in the fiel d
and towards whom, alas she neglected to extend the
'llene), worthy alike of herself and him. So it ever is with
genius, in life thwarted, opposed, and hated.
"But when his bark is btiried deep,
• ' - 'Will envy be the first to weep.'
In the cold tomb that incloses the remains of the hero lies
:buried all the animosity of England, and now she only feelS
*dmiration -for his genius and respect for his memory. Wi
again repeat, that great praise is due to Mr. Batty for thus
exciting enthusiasm and awaking remembrance. We heartily
wish him all the success he deserves--'twere unnecessary to
Wish hirn Mors.
