The name of the Comedy conveys almost its entire
substance, being completely an expose of the concerns
'of a Theatre; and indeed the author, Mr. KENNY, has
:not at all overrated the " secrets of the prison-house."
The plot is extremely simple, being merely the adven-
tures of a theatrical party inside the walls of a Country
Theatre, consisting of the Manager, the Author, prin-
cipal Comedian, principal Tragedian, and the rest of
the Coips Dramatipie. ibrrid is the author of a new
`Comedy accepted by the Manager; the parts are cast,
and -assigned to their respective supporters. In the
`midst of the Author's hopes, and when he is anticipat-
ing the glorious results of crowded houses and rich
'receipts, most of the performers become dissatisfied
with their parts, and are 'continually tormenting him to
alter them. Starling wants an entire new Act, and
&bright asks for a new -comic song, in which I.e is
'to irrutate an Irishman, a Scotchman, a Yorkshire-
,'man, a Cockney, and a variety of other characters.—
The Author becomes highly incensed, and finally re-,
solves to withdraw leis piece. The Manager, however,
who has announced the new comedy, contrives to make
matters up, and the disap'poin'ted author is once again
delighted by the agreeable intelligence that the comedy
is to by performed. torrid has a friend in the Mania-
,ger's beautiful daughter, who contrives to do her best
for him—the piece is performed, and is iticcessful.—
There are a variety of other characters, which are neces-
sarily introduced for the purpose of infusing spirit and
`humour. Sir Peregrine Quixote is a Knight, of a to-
'mantic 'disposition, who has fallen in hive with Mrs.
'Carmine, an actress, under a mistake that she was a
:widow of character and respectability. The deceit
practised by Mrs. Carmine, in the pursuit of her in-
trigue, and the consequent eMbarrassinent of Sir Pere-
grime, on finding out the truth, forded great scope for
comic effect, and was highly amusing. There is also
-another character, IFilmott, who is guardian of Miss
Emily Musters, the Manager's daughter ; he has just
arrived with a fortune of ten thousand pounds for her,
from a distant relatkn. Wilutott is particularly struck
with theatricals, and with a view to the indulgence of
his fancy, assumes the part of a Newspaper Critic, in
which he developes :he trickery of the if Green-room"
with admirable eclat. In the end Wilmot: discovers
'himself, and joins the hand of the poor author to that
of the heiress, and all parties are made happy.
Tr fling as the materials of the drama were, in the
lands of such actors as C. KEMBLE, JONIS, and BARyo,
LEY, they could not fail of being successful. KEsiar.l
never pleased us more ; his acting in the scene repre-
senting the'Greei) Room of the Theatre, Avhilst his piece
was undergoing the ordeal of public approbation on the,
stage, was beyond all praise. It would alone have in-
sured the success of the piece. POiVER plays the stiff
Tragedian Starling, and, from his studied manner and
stately deportment, we have no hesitation in saying„
he imitated a Tragedian now crossing the Atlantic.
The Piece wis received with 'considerable approba-
tion, and, notwithstanding several hard hits at the
,4 Hornets of the Press," it is likely to have a run.

Sunday, then' Graces the Duke and Duchess of A HOYLE
and Lady GIORGISA Paola, and suite, arrived at the Royal Hotel,
Edinburgh. _ _ _

WESTMINSTER Seastosts.—Yesterday these Sessions
commenced before Mr. Maltattar Chairman, (Mr.
CONST being absent), and a full Bench of Magistrates.
The only business proceeded on was the swearing in of
the Grand Jury, and the constables for the several
parishes of Westminster for the ensuing year.
The,tread-mill has bean introduced into the House
yif Correction at Cronach, in Bavaria. The criminals
work eight minutes, and rest eight minutes. The Berlin
Journalist gives a very animated description of the
vaulted chamber, and the prisoners climbing the ever-
turning wheel, to which he can find no resemblance
but in the Inferno of Dante.
