ASTLEY’S AMPHITHEATRE, WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE.
Although not in the habits of noticing every public place of amusement on the other side of the water, we deem it a duty incumbent on us to give our readers, from time to time, any intelligence that may tend either to inform or entertain, and therefore embrace the present occasion to remark, that, among a variety of new pieces which last night appeared at the Royal Saloon, a representation o the recent Surrender of Landrecy claims particular attention; as, by the manner in which it is brought out, the truth and beauty of the scenery which enriches it, and the superlative excellence of the fable and songs, with which it may be said to be embodied, we may fairly set it down as one of the most pleasing and attractive spectacles that has made an appearance since the Siege of Valenciennes, the celebrated production of Mr. ASTLEY, Sen. who is supposed is the author of the present piece.
