1 ded Eastern Drama of Blisebard was revived at this
Theatre with attractions superior to any we ever wit-
nessed at any scenic representation. The introduc-
tion of the troop of cavalry with real hort,es at the
end of the first art, their subsequent march over the
romantic rustic bridge, and tip the mountains, on their
way to rescue Fatima, acted like electricity on the Tee•
ta tors, and produced an universal shout of adrniraticmt
but the storming of Blatbtard's castle, in the last act,
was a collection of every thing that could be thought
of to render the scene grand, sublime and striking!
--As the Spahis rushed forward to attack the gate.
the drawbridge was let down, and a detachment o '
cavalry were seen fording the moat. They success
• sively sprung upon the stage, and the -whole depth of
the scene was filled with combatants, foot and horse.
The passing of the cavalry under the arches of the
' rampart, and their charge up the drawbridge, !eight
be almost taken for the subject of a painting. Shiite
of the horses appeared as it wounded, and obey fell i iti
the stage, fainting gradually under their wounds.—
t One horse which had thrown off his eider, and was
dying, on hearing the report of a• pistol, sprung up to
" Fin the battle hour once more," and, after a singLl
, eff'rt, fell as if totally exhausted. Indeed the sa-
gacity and spirit of the horses were ensiled to a height
which we could scarcely have conceived.
After the drawbridge was broken down, some or
Ithese wonderful animals, with their riders on their
backs, scrambled up the ruins in a direction nearly
perpendicular, to the astonishment and even tenor of
the audience.

fully contending at the head of his troops.
~ 'The scenery and dresses of the performance are eel
tremely shewy. In the procession scene, the passage
`of the troops, and whole proud attendance of an
•eastern Satrap in its march through ti e hale, was sin-
gularly picturesque. The banquet scene in the gees
des, the blue chamber,and the Bashaw's cattle, were
;admirable efforts of the ,artist : but the storming of
the palace, as we hare already observed, was a cones.;
titin of every thing that could be gathered into one
wine to make it striking. .
The performance was received throughout and
given out for representation with shouts of applause.
Mr. TAYLOR was the Idim, and he suns even better,
than usual. Miss Bos.rosr, in Fatima, and Mrs. C.
i!.saim.s, in lino sung, and played their parts, with
'Considerable skill. The Tower Trio, however, from
'some defect in eqhei the setting of the music, or the
singers, was totally out of tune. .
