THE MASQUERADE.

Last night the second Masqueraded the season took place
at the Argyll Rooms ; and though not under the auspices
ofWIIIOIIT, it was manifest, from tha tasteful manner
and splendid style with which the entertainment was got
up, that be had transfused into its conductors a consider-
able portion of that spirit for which he is so renowned.
The Masquerade, acceptable at all seasons to the lovers
zof fun and frolic, enjoyment and eccentricity, must be
doubly welcome during the Christmas festivities, when
all the sluices of conviviality, joy, merriment, piety,
and good humour are, with general consent, thrown
n ; that this feeling had diffused itself pretty widely

COVENTAIriffiIrMMATRE.
Last night night the tragedy of the Earl of Essex was re-
vived at this theatre—for what purpose cannot be easily
conjectured. It is a composition at once as unsuited to
the taste of an English audience, as it must ever be un-
profitable to the treasury of an English theatre. The
management we consider still more to blame for its re-
vival, upon the present occasion ; because, as its repre-
sentation may be said to involve the destiny of a new ap-
pearance for public favour, it would have been kinder to
have announced a new candidate with fairer chances of
propitiating his audience ; and many opportunites offered
for him—DARN, for instance, in the Exile—which is
a piece that would have brought a better whole piece.—
Mr. G. Berm Err, re-appeared for the first time these
four years, and sustained as well the uphill part of
Essex as could be expected—the excellencies were his
ows—the faults entirely those of his author ; and we do
'hops the good sense of the Managers will never be taxed
-with the repetition of this tragedy. Mr. BENNETT was
well supported by Mr. ABBOTT as Southampton ; and Min
LACY displayed much credit in Elizabeth. The Ladies
of her Court, however, should copy somewhat of its
Queen's costume—that is—if they are pqrmitted to do so.
The house was full at half-price.
Prince LEOPOLD left his residence at Claremont yes-
terday morning, and paid a visit to the Duchess of KENT,

WIRY at Hatfield. The Duke of WELLINGTON, it is

shire, to spend a few days In shooting with the Noble
Earl and a party of his friends.
