" The small infamy, warred on by aunt."

Many of the tricks were amusing. Among-t them we
particularly noticed the ilium rig of the Clown and his
master, while they were calmly resting from their fa-
tigues. They are violently thtow n backward on their
chairs, and whirled. ah.:ut with gr at velocity, while
fireworks sparkle in every dii ec ion around 6em.. Th y
look like a pair of livi• g Catharine- wheels. The
scenery is worthy at the highest c .mmendation. It
chiefly painted by Stanfield and Roberts, who have
rendered themselves celebrated in this branch of art.
Stalifield's ereatest work is a panoramic scene. entitled
Nautnetabolia. This scene commences with the launch
of a ship at Dover, proceeds with he, history thmugh
a tremendous hurricane, and ends wit., her being towed
into a fat eign pint. The whole of the scene, or rather
series of scenes, is designed in a free 4.1 d bold style, •nd
deserves much prase. Roberts has several Kest.: of
uncommon excellence. His views .if Regent street arid
Fish•street-hill are very correct and very spirited. In
his view of the village on the Dover-ra,d, he evinces a
great knowledge of aerial perspective. Tne interior of
Druryalane, a atibleet quite diffrtent from those which
we have already noticed, is most hriltiAnt and effective.
The music, by Mr. T. Coosim is good. T. BLANCIIAIID
played Ponierieors with great animation; and whatever
leaf ought to encircle the brows of Peatalootr, whether
it be laimii.jautspar. or Sob reco; he may justly sins.

the tendon of his right kg. and gave. ive.:vety great
pain to see him struggling, in spite Apt thee severe
accident, to get through the character.: In _the course
of the evening there was some terrifitally.fine 41acktrer
vaulting. by an adventurous individtid. whom the-bills
styled It. DIAVOLO ANTONIO, from Turin. He abso-
lutely bounded up to she top of the proscenium. •

The. whale of the perforMaDtes ai thir Theatre last
evening, may he described as one uninferruptetpanto-
mimic exhibition. The tragedy of Jsa6etla led the en-
tertainments. The parts were well cast;
Mr. WARD, was a correct and spirited performance;,
Yilkroy, by Mr. Surma, was not without merit ; and
behead, by Miss LACY, was as welt played as perhaps
any performer at present upon the stage could play it.
But the pantomimea.-Ja is:-ii itled ttarkleie end

first due of the' piece saves us the trouble of telling
the serious story. Those persons who have read
the Fairy Tales will it nheady. The curtain
rises to a dance of devils, in whet) the new Mock
Lever, Mr. Paast.ort, distorts himself almost as ingot'
niously as Mr. Manatee did. We then change tel

him, to walk about his house in the likeness of a bearr..l

on the lady's part changes her admirer into Herkriv
her father to Pantaloon, and his grotesque servant
GatuaLpt, jun.)to the Cloven ; after which, each newly.
endowed individual begins to labour in his vocation, and'
the usual chase & scale of the comic p.intornime begins.
We come, almost at once, to a moving panorama,
which is eitreately well painted. Passing the views of-
Constantinople, host ever, St. Petersborgh, and Amster-
dam, which. as pictures, are not without their interest,
we get to the Marine Parade at Dileei,aliCl then to the
bathing-homes, is which one or Silvia jatotopts are made
