ASTLEY’S AMPHITHEATRE.
Again, and again, Mr. Astley, when you have announced an entire change pf performance, have we visited the Royal Grove with the expectation of meeting some novelty or other entitled to our commendation. In every instance we have been disappointed. To particularize the defects would be endless. As we have not the honour of an acquaintance with any of the managers of the summer theatres, we can have no prejudices which are not the effect of conviction. It is our opinion, however, that a corrupt taste, a total want of genius, and an error in judgement, pervade the motley exhibitions at the Amphitheatre of Arts.
