THE KING'S 131112'11-DAY.

This being the Anniversary for the celebration of his Alxxerry's
Birth-day, the early part of the morning was ushered in by the
ringing of the bells and displaying the Bags of the various Churches
ha the metropolis. At sun-rise the Royal Standard was hoisted
the Tower, and soon afterwards the various ships in the River
and the different docks displayed their colours.
The Postmen and the Mail Guards put on their new livery this
morning, and the procession of the Coaches will take place at the
usual time in the evening..
The Ratt.iliun of the Guards which =muted guard this forenoon
was composed of detachments of the three Regiments of Guards,
under the command of Colonel MACDONALD. They were all dressed
in their new clothing, and looked extremely well. The band of
the lot Regiment, in full uniform, played many pieces of martial
music on the parade.

OVENr-G AR N THEATItt.
A. new Interlude in ode act, called Logy Prcjeds,
was produced last night at this Theatre. It is a slight
matter, but not unpleasant, intended as a vehicle for the
imitations of Mr. YATu. BATLEY plays an artist and
projector, and is visited. under various disguises, by
YATES, who 'desires to obtain the hand of-his daughter.
A German mountebank comes, who wants music com-
posed for a play, called The Bloody Sepukhre ; and
this device introducet some common-place jokes about
CARL MARIA VON WIIBILR. A paviour's foreman com-
plains of some new plan for making roads of the com-
mon streets. This point is well acted, though the
Author has not done much for it. Monsieur Pirouette,
the Frenchfigmsamt at the Opera, with his story of the
quarrel with his wife, tells rather better. There is some
whim in the thought of the husband and wife's quar-
relling while they act the two lovers in a ballet; and
mixing up abuse with the chassees and cross-capers, ac-
cording to the music. Some imitations of the actors
of the day, too, are extremely good, especially that of.
YouNo, in the Elder Forster; MACREADY, in Virginias;
Mumma, in Sir -Abel Handy ; and MAznaws in gene-
ral. On the whole, this little extravaganza has as
much merit as most pieces of the same description.
There is a good deal of bustle in it, though not much
wit; and it was welt received by the audience.—The
Interlude was preceded by the new Tragedy of Orestes
in Argos, in which Miss LACY sustained her part of
Electra with applause. The /louse was well filled.
