Ditutvy-LANg.--The actrAetiori rit the
new Romance of Padden Field, and of a new
Pantomime, entitled The Silver Arrate, or J!arle-
quin and the Fairy Puri-Ban,m, last night com-
pletely filled the Theatre. The folloWing is a
sketch of the Pantomime. which has its origin
in The Arabian Night's Entertainntczzts, the delight
of our younger days
Prince Heussain, Mr. Sotesost (aftetstaras Pantaloon), is
in lore with Nouronnihar, Miss Taes (afterwards Colum-
bine), the daughter of the Sultan ; he has a favoured rival in
Prince Ahmed, Mr. F. YARNOLD (afterwards Harlequin.)
The Sultan promises to give the hand of his daughter to
either of the lovers who discharges an arrow to the greatest
distance. Houssian obtains from the Fire King, whose aid
he implores, a golden arrow ; and when the time of contest
is at hand, Ahmed is presented with a silver one, with en-
chantment sufficient to counteract that of his rival. they
each discharge their arrow, and Ahmed is successful ; hut.
his arrow goes so far that it cannot be found. The Sultan
then decrees, that the hand of Nouronnihar shall be given to
Houssain, unless Ahmed brings back his arrow within an
hoar. He goes In quest of it quite in despair but owing to
the interposition of his good friend the Fairy, he finds it in
the garden of the Palace, where the Fairy herself descends
in
a splendid pavilion from a cloud. He is changed into Harle-
quin; Nouronnihar, who goes to seek him, arrives at the •
same place and becomes Columbine, by no other change, how-
- than that of name, for she still wears the same dress as
The other characters arc then introduced. Hons-
... .transformed into Pantaloon, and Mamond, Mr. HART-
LAND, whose previous connexion with the story we -could not
discover, into the Clown. The Harliquinade here commences,
and atter undergoing a great mans' perils frosts theirimplaca-
ble enemies, its which a great many of the usual tricks are
displayed, the fugitive pair are restored to their former sta-
tions, and made happy by being united.
As soon as the Pantomime began, bills were
frown into the pit and boxes, of which the ful-
ling is a copy :

" BRADBURY FOR EVER!
" In what consists a good pantomime ?—Good scenery,
good tricks, and a good Clown.
" Had the late pantomime of The Dandy Club any of
those requisites ?—Yes, one, a good Clown,• the celebrated
Bob Bradbury.
" Had it no new scenery or tricks ?—No, not one of either.
" Was that the cause of its failure ?—Most decidedly.
" Is it consistent with the liberal feeling of a British au-
dience to drive a good Clown from the stage on the ptr.►luc-
tion of a bad pantomime ?—No !
" Ought not every Englishman to insist upon his resuming
his original character of Clown in the new Pantomime, and
of having none other but him ? —Yes ; no Clown hut Brad-
bury.—Bradbury for ever!"
The effect of these bills was to stimulate the
riotous disposition of certain persons, the faction
of this BRADBURY, who came determined to force
him again upon the Public, who had driven him
with contempt from the stage. 'He had previously
in the day issued similar bills all over the metropolis,
[toddle expectation of a disturbance, no donht,drew
many persons to the Theatre who rejoice in a tu-
mult and may live by mischief. The demands for
BRADBURY on the one hand, and cries of No, no!
and for HARTLAND on the other, continued dur-
ing the whole of the Pantomime, but it did
not interrupt the scenes, and all went off on tl►e
Stage with as much correctness as might be ex•
pected in such complicated pieces on the first re-
presentation. The Pantomime is a very good
one, the scenery is splendid, various, and beauti-
ful. The Performers exerted themselves with all
possible spirit, and HARTLAND is really a better
Clown than BRADBURY ; so that the Public would
get nothing by the restoration of the latter to this
Theatre, if it were possible to admit him after
such shameless conduct, for which he certainly
deserves legal punishment. After the Pantomime,
a considerable number of persons remained in the
upper boxes, on the Prince's side of the Theatre,
clamouring for BRADBURY, and echoing s►milar
cries from a set of ruffians in the gallery. The Pit
was orderly and quiet. After a few manual conten-
tions in the same boxes, and a repetition of rabble
shouts, at length the rioters left the House
about 12 o'clock. And now it is proper to state
`‘e conduct of the Managers and of this Beau.
He was engaged solely for the Panto-
mime in which he appears, and in the perfor-
mance of which he insulted the audience by hold-
ing i►is fist and menacing a Gentleman in the
boxes. He was to have a certain profit if the
Pantomime succeeded, but though it failed, the
Managers liberally offered to give him the same
profits, to atone for his disappointment. He in-
sisted on being the Clown in the new Pantomime,
though he knew that it was brought by persons
not immediately connected with the Theatre, and
who required their own performer, HARTLAND, to
play the Clown. But still more to quiet this
BRADBURY, it was proposed thit he should have
the part of an Italian Clown introduced for him to
play. He refused, unless that part was to he the
chief Clown, wl►ich would have interfered with the
arrangement and whole construction of the piece.
Such has been the liberal conduct of the Ma-
nagers, and such the unjust, ungrateful, and in-
famous return of this BRADBURY. But a higher
tribunal than the audience must he resorted to on
the occasion, and we sincerely hope that the
riotous miscreants who created so much distur-
bance, and who at one time seemed to threaten
serious injury to the Theatre, may be discovered
and brought to doe punishment.

Coverr-Gaamx.—The admirable Comedy of
Twelfth Night Was last night represented at this
Theatre. It was judiciously cast in the assign-
ment of the characters. LISTON'S Malvolio was
perfectly characteristic .and very entertaining.
EMEHY, in Sir Toby, was not less excellent ; and
FARRPN fully supported his reputation in Sir
Andrew. INliss BaUNTON gave an interesting
portrait of Viola ; J. liut.sELL was very diverting
in The Clown ; and the most rigid Critic must
have been well swisfied with the whole.

BRIGHTON, JAN. 4.—This afternoon the
PRINCE REGENT took an airing on horseback to
the westward. His Royal Highness was follow-
ed by only one servant. The Pavilion ,ditirter
party to-day, as 06 all other occasions, Nevi.
Year's Day excepted, when a few tiiends were
honoured with invitations, was confined to the
suite of nobility at the Palace. The Earl of Yar-
month, Lora Lowther, anti Count Munster, left
the Pavilion this morning for London. The at-
rivals have been the Earl of Arran from Bognor,
and Mr. Long, front town.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East-India-HouPe, wheu WILLIAM TAYLOR Mo-
NLY, Esq, t,,u.lt the usual oaths and his seat, as a
Director, in the room of JOHN LUMSDEN,
deeented.
