Dauay.LAxg incantc.—Last night presented a
scene of vulgar mirth and boisterous festivity. The
Manager gave a second Masquerade, which was very
numerously attended. The Theatre was brilliantly
illuminated and handsomely ornamented, the fronts
of the boxes being festooned with variegated lamps,
and their tops decorated with festoons of artificial
flowers. Amongst the exhibitions with which the
company were entertained, was a representation of
the entre of the Champion into Westminster Hall.
The procession consisted of the Champion, cased in
complete armour, accompanied by two Heralds in
their tabards, two Knights in armour, and the Band
of Trumpeters from St. James's. They advanced
slowly from the Stage, and a grand flourish of trum-
pets having been given, one of the Heralds read aloud
the Champion's defiance. The procession then retired.
—The effect was good, and would have been mach
better, if the horses employed on the occasion had
been properly trained. Amongst the masqueraders
were a vast number of well-dressed, but no well sup-
perted characters.
COVENT-GARDEN.—The dexterity with which this
Theatre avails itself of popular occasions, was dis-
played by a striking and even a magnificent evidence
last night in the revival of the Play of Henry the
Fourth. The Coronation of Hen ry the Fifth allowing
of an immediate application to the topic of the day,
has been prepared with great splendour, and those
thousands and tens of thousands who are destined to
be disappointed in the national celebration, may solace
themselves with alair similitude of the future pomps,
by an hour spent within the walls of Covent-Garden.
The Coronation then developed its glories. After
shouts and a burst of trumpets loud enough to startle
a sleeping city, the curtain rose, and exhibited the
",Procession to Westminster Abbey." The pageant
moved along a crimson path, curtained with crimson
. cloth, escutcheoned with Royal emblems. This was
intended to be an exact counterpart of the true pro-
, cession : the costume was rich, the banners waved
with historic fidelity, the heralds we:c a; gaudy as
heralds ever glittered, and the liveries of the at-
tendants were stiff and sparkling with every kind
of ornament of the old costly time of coronations.—
The next scene displayed IVestminster Abbey, a clever
exhibition of art; Henry the Seventh's Chapel, with
the window illuminated, in the back ground, and in
its front the ceremony of the Crowning, a very grave
and impressive ordinance even upon the stage. The
whole process was looked on with great curiosity,
and in deep silerrce. The final scene was, of course,
the Grandßaßquet; Westminster Hall in its splendour,
the effect fine, altogether picturesque and pompous.
None of the performers gained greatcr honours than
the Champion, who rode a real charger, and backed
him through the side scenes, as be retired, with ad-
mirable precision, and the impression, from the whole,
is highly in favour of the Coronation of King HENRY
the Filth. It has the double effect of exciting'interest
in the future ceremony, and satisfying the excite-
ment, where it cannot he indulged with reality. We
have seen nothing on the Stage so well managed, so
magnificent, or so likely to gratify a rational public
curiosity. The House was crowded to t x ess.
