ASTLEY’s Amphitheatre of Arts.—Much as we have been in the habit of visiting this place of summer amusement, we scarcely remember to have witnessed such a display of fashion, beauty, and numbers as last night adorned the boxes and every part of the house, which, at an early hour, experienced an overflow sufficient to fill another theatre. After this assertion, it may well be supposed that some particular magnet of attraction was the cause of such an assemblage of persons; that magnet (or rather magnets) was a selection of such surprising feats of horsemanship, between two of the first troops in the world, that the genius of emulation shone resplendent throughout the evening, to the delight and astonishment of every spectator.
