To the numerous exhibitions of this theatre, full of ingenuity and attraction, has recently been added one of uncommon splendour and magnificence—The Cloud King. The acting in this piece if excellent, and the manner in which it is got up does great credit to the talents of Mr. Cross. The other performances we have already noticed. The tout ensemble is very much approved of by all ranks of visitors, both fashionable and unfashionable.
ASTLEY’s, WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.
Mr. Astley, junr. with his accustomed anxiety to amuse the public, whose patronage is so liberally bestowed on him, has, in consequence of the loss of Mr. Richer, substituted in his place some very surprising exertions on the slack rope and wire, by Mr. Link and Signora Rossa, with vaulting, which exhibits strength and agility. Mr. Jeffries is considerably improved in his horsemanship, but the boy is far superior to him, and promises, with time, to excel in the art. The remainder of the entertainments still continues as before, and that no change has taken place seems very satisfactory accounted for, by the fullness of the houses proving it entirely unnecessary.
