Covent-Garden.
ne comenay oi i-Se aC-lwot atIeprm was acted at this house- last night-a play that generally tells well in the performance, but, by some accident, seldom draws money. Afterpieces, however, are the main objects always at Easter; and, according to custom, a very splendid tale of enchantment, called Spirits of the Afoon, con- cluded tke entertainments of the evening. *Ve look for little mean- ing in matters of this description: if the author has any when he sets out, he commonlv losesall notion of it by the end of thefirst act; let him forbear only from bein;g tedious, and we will compound in general for absurlity. The scene of Spirits of -le Moon (that is, so much 4of it as belongs to earth) lies in Egypt; and the interest of the aifair is Miss Love, in the character of an exiled Prince. tlisputing with an usurper (Mlr. Farley) for life and dominion. iMr. Farley's faculty in all that appertains to fiery dragons, &c., is too well known to need comment. Mr. Farley is both author an)I arranger of the piece. Mr. Blanchard has an Bgyptian tailor in- vented for his benefit; and Mr.Grimaldi, junior, fights an admirable battle with 5Lr. Bradley, of minor house celebrity, who made his debti (for Covent-garden) on this occasion, and acquitted himself' with becoming fury. For scenery, there is a great deal that is very expensive, and some that is clever. The Egyptian. hall, in the second act, is a well-painted scene ; ang an- other view, in the same act, representing the exterior of a castle, has merit; the moonlightq and moving panoramas are upon the same scale of extent and magnificence as usual. M11iss Love plays- adtnirably well, ingi2g, dancings audaczing tlroughout the even-. ing: the other ladies have not much opportunity given them for display. Upon the whole, the piece is sufelen.t for the purposes of holyday.making; and it wa-s given out fox tetidon with general annmauxe. _-- - - COVENT-GARDEN.
