Mrs. ASTLEY, who at all times gives a consequence to the character she represents, appears to the most happy advantage I the new Spectacle of “The London Apprentice,” which, for fine personification of the Princess Zelima, renders it in a manner so interesting as to leave the spectator at a loss which to admire most, the Fair Persian, of the English Hero. The scene representing a Turkish Amphitheatre is truly a masterly performance, and the Combat of Henry with the Lions, the first thing of the kind ever witnessed. We are sorry to learn that the Pantomime of “Laugh and Lay Down” is to be withdrawn for the season, after to-morrow.
