"sovereign to a guinea," was cheered without interruption. Haymarket Theatre. This theatre was filled in every part by a decent and respectable assemblage of persons. The comedy of "The Heir at Law," was followed by the farce of "The Agreeable Surprise;" and between the play and after-piece, the appropriate anthems of "Rule Britannia," and "God save the King," were sung in full chorus.

The performances at the Lyceum were attended by a crowded audience.

Fireworks in Hyde Park.-An immense concourse of persons flocked to Hyde-park in the evening to witness the exhibition of fire-works. The entrance at Hyde-park-corner was rendered extremely dangerous to pedes trians, by the throng of carriages and horsemen which blocked up the way. Upon entering the park, the appearance of the trees, illuminated by variegated and Chinese lamps; a long line of tents lighted up in different fanciful modes; swings in full motion; the appearance of an illuminated stage peeping over a clump of trees near the cascade; together with incessant discharges of very splendid rockets, flashing a glaring light upon the solid mass of spectators as far as the eye could reach; but above all, the glimpses caught through the foliage of the trees, of the tastefully illuminated waters of the Serpentine, formed a scene the most picturesque and delightful that can well be conceived. This piece of water was adorned at one extremity by an illuminated transparency erected nearly over the cascade,

representing, amongst other things, his majesty in a triumphant car drawn by milk white horses; nearly opposite to which, on the right bank, was a handsome lighted temple, surmounted by a crown. The car and elephants mentioned above were brilliantly lighted up with lamps, and the effect was considerably heightened by the fantastic appearance of occasional splendid water-rockets. The river was, as in the morning, covered with boats filled with company.

The fire-works were of the most magnificent description, consisting of rockets, catherinewheels, turbillons, parachute rockets, and every other ingenious device that distinguishes the pyrotechnic art. The display of these did not begin until half-past nine o'clock, when even Hyde-park was crowded in almost every part of it to inconvenience. They commenced with a discharge similar to small arms of infantry firing a salute; which was answered by a discharge of the same nature from Kensingtongardens. This was followed by a profusion of stars, catherinewheels, &c. and was concluded by a discharge of rockets the most brilliant that could be formed. On the western extremity of the river a fire-work was exhibited, which from its magnitude, and the multitude of sparks that it emitted, gave the spectator no bad idea of a volcano. The dark gloom of the trees of Kensington-gardens, behind this magnificent fire-work, added greatly to the beauty of the effect. From the park we could perceive the frequent discharge of rockets from Primrose-hill.

The occa

sional brilliancy of the fire-balloons drew forth the admiration of the multitude.

A brig of war of 10 guns was worked up the river on Wednesday, and moored between Waterloo-bridge and Blackfriars, for the purpose of firing salutes. Her masts were necessarily struck to permit her to pass under London and Blackfriars bridges, but she was re-rigged with great expedition, and appeared on Thursday morning in gay trim, adorned from stem to stern with the flags of all nations known upon the waters. She ushered in the morning with a royal salute, and as her guns, being selected for the occasion, were of the largest calibre, the unwonted thunder that issued from her ports dis. turbed the slumbers of many a sound sleeper. The brig was one of the smallest of her class, but the unusual sight of a vessel of war so high up in the river, drew, at a very early hour, immense crowds of persons to see her. She lay nearly opposite Norfolk-street in the Strand. A considerable number of barges from several men of war were moored near the brig, each bearing a small flag. These boats These boats were prepared for the purpose of throwing rockets during the evening. At night, the principal streets were brilliantly illuminated.
