HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Saturday night, after
the Comedy of the London Hermit, a new Burlctta
and Ballet Dance, called -the Fairies' Revels, or
Love in the Highlanl, was performed for the flirt
time.—The plot is profeffed to be taken from a
Poem entitled The Ring," written by the late T.
LITTLE, Efq. and the principal Novelty of the piece
is, that it is performed entirely by Mailers and
Miffes. The Scene lies in the Highlands of Scot-
land. The plot chiefly confills of the efcape of two
lovers from the father of the damfel, who purfues
them, and recovers his daughter. The Queen of
the Fairies commands one of her trufly dves to
!hike at the patlions of the lovers, and orders a ring
to be given to the hero of the piece, to prom& him
from the perplexing attempts of the father. This
hero, however, in crdcr to gain the good opinion
of the old man, fignalifes himfclfin tingle combat,
but having placed the ring on the finger of a flame,
the latter becomes animated, and claims him for
her hufband. The hermit, iftylin, however, fur-
nithes Lim with the means of breaking the charm,
and lie is united to Ifabel. The Rory is dramatifed
by FAWCETT, and the mak furnithed by Dr.
AttmoLo. The Overture is a very.pleating one,
the Airs are chiefly Scotch melodies, the fimpli-
city of which conveys a charm, no flyle of mufic
can furpafs : there was a Duet between Mifs Tv-
RER and Mi.; HOWELL, which had the happieß
effe&, and was defervedly encored. The piece is
well go; up, the &elks in general are appropriate,
and the fcenery beautiful. Upon the whole the
Spectacle gave univerfal fatisfadlion, and was de-
fervedly received with every mark of approbation.
The following cafe occurred on Saturday at the
Court of Requells :—A dancer of inferior talents,
one of the figure dancers at the Opera Houfe, was
employed by a Lady of fafhion and ditlinaion to
atria at a Fete Champetre the gave in honour of the
late peace. The Lady had imagined a fcene re-
pt-dented by living characters, in which Britannia
was to be feated on a throne, attended by Peace,
Plenty, Lilerty, Commerce, ProlPerity, and, in (tort,
by emblematic perfoni6cations of every blefling
Heaven has bellowed. To execute this claffical
defign, it was neceffary to have perfons to &Rain
the charaFters, and with that view feveral of the
figure dancers of the Opera Houfe and the The-
atres were engaged. When they had concluded,
they were allowed to partake of every luxury pro-
vided by the liberal miltrefs of the feaß, and at
their departure they each received a compliment
of three guineas. Handfome as this remuneration
was, it did not fatisfy the plaintiff; the wrote word
to the Lady that the never accepted lefs than five
guineas. The Lady referred her to her Houk
Steward, who, thinking the had been very well
paid, refufed her any further fatisfaetion. Upon
his refufal, the reduced her demand to 395. and
fummoned the lady for that fum. The Steward
attended, and explained the circumflanccs to the
Commiflioners, who told the plaintiff they could
not adjuft a matter offiich importance. She might
bring her action in the Court of King's Bench, but
they could not take cognizance of a caufe when
the demand had been leffened merely for the pur-
pore of bringing it within their jurifdiftion. The
_9laintiff was clicmiffda, and danced me esf.C....
