nearly a fortnight, under the sole management of Mr.
Tuna. DIADIN. The Pieces, which are principally writ.'
ten by Mr. DIRDIN, are lively, full of point. and, as is
usual with this old favour its of the public,v ell calculated
to produces rational laugh. A Comic Pusticcio. entitled
" to T. S." was deservedly applauded. It turns upon
the mistakes arising from the Manager of a Theatre
and a Country Innkeeper, each advertising for assist
ants under the same signature.: there is n uch bustle
and equivoque throughout the Piece, which was well
performed. Mr. DIBDIti has selected a very respect-
able company. among whom are Dint [IBA Lay

appreciated, that we need hut name it to prove its
Attraction. The scenery and dresses are very good, and
the music equally to. Mr. Dim", ton, occasionally
treats his friends with parodies on some of the popular
songs. the music if which of cours- being favourites,

A recent French writer, describing the state of tra-
velling in Fiance and in England, says, " In France
the postillions are frequently drunk. 'slurry; dirty. and
the most coarse and intractable e'eople in the world.
In England the contrast is most striking—hoth men
and cattle are always well dressed; tl.e drivers with
white cravats, gond jackets, and `well•napped great
coats; their horses harnessed as if for some grand cere- '
many. In France a postillion takes care first for his
own safety, and then of that of the horses—to him the
safety of the traveller is a concern of supetetogations
in England the traveller command the driver. in Fiance
he obeys him.
