Intelligence from the other side of Westminster-Bridge.—ASTLEY is a character so well known in print, sometimes to escape any particular observance from us, who profess to be acquainted with the world and what passes in it. The intelligence we read in the prints of yesterday, relative to the Siege of Valenciennes, as brought out on Monday evening, at the Royal saloon, we looked on as a matter something more worthy of notice than is generally the case, and as such we are inclined to become judges for ourselves. Our opinion and report shall be set down thus:--That without dueting from the merits of other places of public amusement, which have brought out pieces bearing the title of the Siege of Valenciennes, the one which comes under our present notice, and exhibited for the second time yesterday evening at the Royal Saloon, bids fair to become one of the most attractive, interesting, and pleasing spectacles ever produced on the boards of a Theatre.
