The Royal Amphitheatre, Westminster Bridge, has long, and very justly, been looked to as a place not only superior to any other of public amusement, for producing a Spectacle of either a military or naval nature, but for being the first in point of priority in bringing it before the public eye. Has this, however, been the case with the Spectacle which appeared for the second time, last night, under the title of British Glory in Egypt? Certainly not. And what has been the consequences attached to this apparent tardy neglect? Why, while the glorious occurrences in Egypt have been Harlequinaded and Pasteboarded by the spirit of anticipation, the Theatre in question has brought forward not only every piece, A Fleet of the Line, with a Legion of real Cavalry, and several Regiments of Soldiers, which appear, for the third time, this evening.
