Caroline Drake, (Mrs. CHATTERLEY) the (laugh-
ter of Drake (CIIATTERLEY) an honest city poul-
terer, has had her imagination filled with ro-
mantic ideas in consequence of novel-reading.
Charles Clover (WeaNcti,) her lover, aware of
her-folly, and knowing that he could not soccee.t
iii his own chat acter, assumed the name of Ortanda,
indtseed her to elope with him, takes her to au
old ruined Castle, and there appears in a sort of
-savage aspect, as if he were the head of a banditti.
His serytiot, Whisk (HkaLEY,) anti all the rest of
the characters assist in the plot, and the Heroine
is so aLtitated by her fears that she is cored
of her delusions, and wishes that she hail
listened to the addresses, of her humble:
lover, Clover, who then throws off his dis-
guise,
_and all parties are made happy. The
piece was admirably supported by all the charac-
ters, anti was warinly applauded by the audience
throughout, and on the announcement of its
repetition. .

Garden for a certain number of nights ; nor is
there any reason to doubt that this eminent
actor will . re-appear at Drury-Lane, where he is
under articles to perform two years.—(Morning
Chronicle.)
