greater was the general eagerness, the following year, to celebrate the return of the day. The 12th of March 1804 was fixed upon for the purpose, and the Royal Theatre was elegantly fitted up for a grand masquerade, with quadrilles, the first and principal of which represented the return of Alexander the Great from India, and his marriage with the Princess Statira, daughter of Darius. The succession of important events that filled the succeeding years, the almost total ruin of the Prussian monarchy, and the death of the Queen in particular, left neither time nor inclination for these gay scenes; the toga gave place to arms, and the sportive muses Euterpe and Terpsichore to their austere sister Clio. It was therefore long before an opportunity offered for a third fête of the same kind, which was afforded by the recent marriage of His Royal Highness Prince Frederick of Prussia, nephew to His Majesty the King, with Princess Louisa of Anhalt-Bemburg, which was solemnized at Ballenstaedt, and in honour of which a series of fêtes were given at Berlin, of which the masquerade on the 8th of February far exceeded all the rest in splendour. On that evening, His Majesty the King allowed above three thousand masks to re Thusnelda. 9.

COVENT GARDEN.-Here, though in some respects inferior, as in others superior, to former seasons, a Pantomime founded on the adventures of the redoubted Baron Munchausen, and called by his name, has been successful. Its claims, however, to this distinction rest almost entirely upon its fine and gorgeous scenery, its perfect mechanism, its showy decorations, and the intrinsic merits of the story, which could not be acted without producing a good effect, though as little as possible has been made of its incidents/ It would be a long tale to tell how this pantomime is conducted. It commences with the Baron asleep on the snow, and his horse tied to the steeple; the snow melts, owing to a volcanic eruption of no great fervour, and the Baron descends, but his steed remains in suspense. In the village below Sir Hilary Frosticos wishes to force his daughter to wed Lord HumpyDandy, whom she rejects for the bold Baron. The lovers fly to Vulcan's cave and obtain the favour of Venus, but offend her limping husband; and, of course, the former supports while the latter persecutes them, in the new pantomimic characters into which they are changed. The usual running about, hauling, leaping, and escaping, ensues; the chief scenes of which are the Moon and Lunar Palace, whose inhabitants carry their heads in their hands; the Bay of Constantinople; the Deck of an Sea; Dublin: Egypt, with Pompey's PilEnglish Man of War; the Bottom of the lar; and the Fountain of Love. In all of these there is much splendour or able delineation, and in some of them very considerable ingenuity and novelty.

It deserves the utmost detestation and discouragement of all who have either the love of their country or the honour of their religion at heart. I have not scrupled to rank those who deal in those pernicious arts of writing with the murderer and the assassin.

"This is a most delightful volume: the Author is a man of taste, and, what is better, he is a man of princi ple and feeling. We should have thought that every topic to be discussed in a journey through France and Italy, had been exhausted; but we have perused Mr. Sass's agreeable book with as much satisfaction as we did Keate's Account of Pelew, or Hall's Account of Loo Choo. His well-stored mind and powers of painting, give an air of novelty and interest to every sub ect he touches."-Monthly Magazine for July. "The Author presents himself to us in a very favourable light throughout the whole of his volume. The account of Mr. Sass's Journey offers much to excite our commendation, and very little matter for blame. He does not profess to give profound disquisitions on politics or science; but he is, for the most part, a fair and candid relater; and the information which he communicates cannot fail to assist very materially the ordinary travellers who visit Italy. He writes clearly, unaffectedly, and with sufficient elegance. He is highly to be praised for the honest warmth of his sentiments upon subjects which ought to rouse every Englishman's feelings of honour and of national indignation. If, upon one or two points, we are forced to differ from him, we do so with respect for his disinterested boldness of expression upon unpopular topics; and the information which he conveys upon some other points of this nature, is at once curious and im, ortant."-Edinb. Rev. No. 60. "Mr. Sass's Travels to Rome and Naples are detailed in a lively familiar narrative, and might prove a very useful acquisition to travellers; obiects of interest are pointed out, and useful hints given to avoid danger, trouble, and imposition. Mr. S. describes nature with the enthusiasm of an artist, and has been attentive to the minutest national differences between the countries he visited. We have not found ourselves fatigued with too much laborious research, but anxiously followed the author through the amusing pages of his publication with unwearied alacrity and increasing interest. Romantic and contemplative, our author loses no opportunity of encouraging the sentiments, that such fairy scenes as he was witness of, would naturally engender. The book is full of spirited observation; the materials rich and varied."-Literary Journal, Nos. 19 and 20. "The Author of this agreeable book has afforded us considerable entertainment; and we doubt not but that his remarks may be read by future travellers with equal pleasure and advantage. Mr. Sass evidently contemplates interesting objects with the accurate eye which belongs almost exclusively to the artist ;-and his casual observations and deliberate reflections are equally characterised by that liberality and acuteness which bespeaks a a cultivated and candid mind."-Gent's.
