AMPHITHEATRE, WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE.—Mr. Astley, jun. the uneclipsed Equestrian, has commenced his Summer Campaign under the most auspicious banners; for never was there, before last night and the preceding, an audience so distinguished for rank and fashion, at so early a part of the season, while the numerous progeny of John Bull literally crowded every part of the house. The Entertainments, however, are of the most beautiful and attractive nature, particularly the new Pantomime of Silver Star, of the Mirror of Witchcraft, which, for charming scenery, and inventive business, is truly a nonpareil. Mr. Astley has engaged a Company of the first talents in the kingdom, which must ensure him a splendid season.
