     A correspondent has sent us the following :---Among the great variety of amusements which is exhibited at Mr. Astley’s Ambigu-Comic, there is none, a correspondent observes, more truly pleasing than the Equestrian Minuet, between him and young Astley. It is a sight that not only entertains the attention from its excellence, but it also interests the feelings of nature, from its uniting the father and son in,---thus exhibiting their conjoined efforts to please, and their devoirs to thank the audience, of whose liberal patronage they are so much the deserved favorites. The manliness and dignity of the one, with the youth and grace of the other, display a picture of relative performance, which certainly has no equal in any of our boasted diversions.
