brought forward under the title of Love andlllagic ;
or /*kr. ids Hclidaj .

The Story is briefly as follors:

The Brit keno gives d view of a Magician's Study. The
itawkian is feared on his throne, attended by two,Dxmons;
the back fcenc reprefents r, triton, in whicb Coldm-
bitte, and the other Pautontunic. Chandlers, :re confined, in
chains The-111..x;jau, slid a fliort exhortation, confides the
care of the eapiZees to ‘.7.://eho, and enjoins hitn not to fleep ;
otherwife the magic lamps will expire, and the charm will cafe.'
The influence of 3..soras..however, overcomes Tycb two ra-
vens dtkend, feise his wild :n their eaves, and ifcend. The
next Scene, which is uncommonly beautiful, exhibits Vonzr,
the protedtrefr of Harlapths, de-Carding from the clouds, who
relieves hint and his atiociates from dummy "de, and prefents
him with a magic coitus, by the virtues of which he is to over-
come all his enemies. In her fplendid ear the isattcnded by the
three Graces and her accuftomed atttibutes. Trio battle of the
Pantomime now commences. 1' kle father of balambine is tempted
by a chef of gold to induce her to efpoure the enemy of Rade-
gitin. The latter, however, defeats their projces ; and while
the eheft is placed at the door, by his magical offorts* a column,
of gold arifcs from the interior of the ch. 13., on which he afcends,

protcdkrefs adheres to his interefts,. dad relieves bins from
his difficulties. The .1112ticiiolo at length cwercume, and is
buried with his imps into the infernal regions. e Scene then
changes to a beautiful view of the Temple of Venus ; the head-
of &Sphinx is broke by the advice, of a guardian fpirt, Cupids
appear, and C./an:Mee and Hariegoix arc united.
During a fcene of Weilmintler Hall, occurs a
very fair hit at the Gentlemen cf the long robe; and
in a Gypfey Scene an admirable;::: de deux is danced
by Mr. BYRNE and Mifs B. Ith.NACE, the Harlequin
and Cdurnbini—it communicated great delight. •
After a variety of incidents, the enchantment is
at length broken by Vend:, and the dungeon in
which the Lovers are confined changes to the Pa-
lace of that Goddefs : it is as fplundid a fcenej as
it is poflible for art and fancy to produce. Harle-
quin and Columbine are united, and the whole con.
chides with a Dance of Cupids.
The Overture is by Mr. SHAW. He hasinft
dif-
play as much ability as be thought the fubjed
demanded.
" The Mufie confifls of felellions by Mr. Ksta.Y;
the Pantomime Tithes are arranged by Mr. BYRN',
and accompanied on the harp by Mr. Weirttar.
We muil not omit mentioning the Benar

" Over the Mountain and over the Moor,"
beautifully harinonized by Hook, which was ex-
tremely well Tung by Mr. Sfinowicit, Mrs. BLAND,
and Mifs TYR&R.— Mrs. BLAND had she following
pleating fang of Link Bei!, the Ballad-linger, al-
lotted to her ; the was encored:
Come 'round and buy, come buy, come buy,
. A fang of Little Bcfs,
To pleafe your tafte I'2 do my heft,
'Tis all I can profefs.
Sweet maids, to you I'll fing true Blue,
And fo your lads fhall prove;
To love-fick fwaips I'll Cog fad ftrains
Of thofc that died for love :
Then brie again my tong (hail be,
To cheer the friends whb follow me,
Poor Little Befs, the bailed finger.
Came 'round and buy, come buy, come buy,
Affift poor Little Befs,
The home to cheer, of parents dear,
Who droop beneath diftrefs!
So Mall you prove piropitious love,
And boaft a friend fincere,
That balm Ball find, of human kind,
A rympathizing tear :
Then brie again my Fong thall be
To cheer the friends who follow me,
Poor Little Bets, the ballad finger.
The Pantomime promifes to afford much enter
tainment during the Holidays.
Covers- MUUMUU—LaiI. night a new Panto-
mime was performed at this Theatre, intitled
Harlequin': Habeas, or the Hall of Speares ; the joint
production of Mefl'rs. I'. DIBDIN and BOLOGNA,
jun. of the Rory of which the following is an
outline :
The frit aet opens with an apartment in the both of yd,

map of prance; the is interrupted by the Entrance of her fa-
ther, who introduces Richard Rot, an antiquated lover, as her
future butband, but who is rejedted by the lady.
A dafhing buck is next brought on, in cuftody, at tie tuft
of his taylor ; he fends for bail; a Tailor, from India, attended
by a Chinefe, enters to his relief. The tailor Offers his whole
ftorc, which b iotufficient to relieve his friend, when the CM •
nee, underltancting the nature of the embarraffment from the
tailor, offers the bailiff a cafe of curious China filk ; hut when
the'bufinefir it about to be accommodated, the, ungrateful fprig
of Bond-ftreet takes an opportunity to decant) with the ilk
And money, and the poor failorikleft in durance vile for having
anfwered for his fuppofed friend.
The WS% daughter, !truck with the generofity of the tai-
lor, endeavours to-procure his efcape, but is prevented by the
vigilance of her father's turnkey. The (slot, In a paroxyfm

'Several art ifl) have beenemployed in the fcenery,
and among them RICHARDS,PI4ILLiPS,HocLocaa,
and WH rrmoßE delerve particular mention. The
view of Rocheiterl364ge, with the Cattle. and Ca-
thedral, by the Aril, is natural and piCturefque ;
and the Ball of Spectres, with which- the fecond
A& commences, is a fine inßance of the Gothic
Ityle. In this fcene a burlefque. of all the populdc
Spectral exhibitions of the day was ludicrouily ia7
troduccd. The Spegre in Don yams, the &ois of
Gal fer Thumb and of Lunn, the Bleeding gun, and
the Gee SpeBre, Were all brought forward to pro-
mote the extravagance of caricature.
' The larinchinf, of the balloon, and the defcent of
the parachute, were tkilfully managed, and at-
tended with excellent eiTea.

PHILLIPS has dittinguifhed himfelf by an admi-
rable view of the Pier, Cliffs, and Cagle of Dover,
as well as by a highly finithed delineation of St.
Dennis's Gate at Paris; and WHITMORE, in his
reprefentation of the interior of a Piifon, and in
his fplendid difplay of the Tempk of keftivity;
evinced his am:Armed fcience and talk.

The Mun e. is, from the beginning to the end,
adapted with much judgment to the general fob-
jed of the Pantomime, and to the variety of inci-
dents which are introduced. The Overture, by
MOOREHEAD, is remarkable for many pleating
movements; and the paffages by RF EVE, DAVY,
Wats, and RUSSELL, are well adapted to the
Wind's of the fcene.

The Pantomime pumices in!every rerpea to 'Eke
as attraaive as any that has been produced at this
rseatre for many years.

AbtsrattnAP4 BANK.—The following Paper, re-
lative to the Bank of Amfterdam, is of conildera-
hie importance to the com.nercial world :

The intermediate Adminiftration of the Commune of Am.
fterdam, having nothing more at heart than to eftablifh upon
folid b.,fes, the well-bring of the City, and particularly the prof.
putty of its commerce, has the fatisfadtion to crake knodtn to
whomever it concerns, that the Commiffaries of the Bank of
this. City have declared to them, by their report of the 19th
July laft, that the deficit which was found in the Bank, has
tat en entirely filled by the payments made by and on the part
of the Treafury ; and that it appears by the aecqunt they nave
drawn up, and of which they have fent a copy both to the raid
Treafury and the fuperintendance of the Bank, that all the de-
mands of the Bank upon the City have been fully acqu tted and •
replaced by fpecie, fo that at prefent there is na Bank money
In circulation which does not relt upon eft:calve and metallic
value, In fpecie, ingots+, and monies depofited in the a:inve-
meni toned Bank : that the Bank being thereby radically re-efla-
Minted arid reftored to its primitive inftitutism, the 0:y has
completely fatisfied the guarantee to which The is at all times
engaged, whilft on the other hand there has been taken, I o '
on the part of the Adminiftration of the raid City, as on th it of
the Commiffaries of the. Bank, the neceffary meafures and pre-
cautions to render in future impoffible all attack upon that in-
ilitution, and to give to all Indiana interefted the molt allured
pledge of the inviolability of that depot, and of the unalterable
will of the Adminiftration that it Mall be {bettered from all in-
fradion.
That the Admibittmtion of the raid City, endeavouring to
operate this precious eftablifltment in the molt cafy and advan-
tageous manner to the perfons interefted, and in order to fa-
vour, as math as poffible, the circulation of the bank money,
' have determined from the 19th of left July, to caufe to cea'e at
the opening of the bank; which took place on the 3oth of the
Paid month, ths impofition of a denai-fol for each hundred flo-
rins, ftipulatetiby the refolution of the Council of Commune
of the 3tit March, 1796, upon payments in bank, and to fix it
on the antient footing of three Cols for each party written in
batik; the Superintendents having bcfides been charged by the
Paid refolution of the t9th July laft, to rev:fe, (in concert avith
the Conunifraries) the regulation and ordinances of the bank, to
make in them the alterations required by prcfcnt circumftanees,
and to offer them afterwards to the fantftion of the Atiminiftra-
don.

That all the regulations and abovemcutioned ordinances be-
ing effentially to remain in aU their force and vigruir until the
neceffary changes {hall have been made in them upon the pro-
pofition of the Paid Commillion, and being to thi,t :ffet, and
neceffarily caprefsly confirmed and renewed here, the inter.
mediate Admit- iftration have judged it in all refpedis fuitabie

anterior laws upon the payments in Bank to tecolve by thl
prsfent—..
