npHEATRE ROYAL , GOVENT GARDEN . — J _ Professor ANDERSON , the GREAT WIZARD OF THE KORTH , respectfully announces that this Theatre Trill open on Wednesday next , December 26 th , under his zaan ' atfemen ' t . He has fortunately succeeded m arranging with the Directors of the Royal Italian Opera for a short season , during which he Will produce many novelties at this , the most magnificent Theatre in the Metropolis . On Wednesday . December 26 th , he will have the honour of presenting his Entertainment of MAGIC and MYSTERY , on a new and more extended scale , as performed by him 129 times at the Lyceum Theatre , beibre an aggregate audience of 339 , 000 : to be followed by the Great , National , Historic , and Chivalric PANTOMIME , which has been so many months in preparation , of THE BELLE ALLIANCE , or HARLEQUIN GOOD HUMOUR , and THE FIELD OF THE CLOTH OF GOLD . Professor Anderson hopes that the Nobility and the Public will appreciate his efforts to open Covent Garden Theatre duiing the Christmas Season . Associated as the history of the house is with bo many glorious recollections of Christmasees that have long since passed away , when " The Pantomime at Covent Garden " was the Town-talk at Christmas-tide , and when to go and see it , was as much a matter of course as to place the holly over the mantel , or hang the mistletoe in the hall . Mr . Anderson trusts that a Pantomime reproduced on the same boards—the boards whereon the fame of " Mother Goose " was acquired , and the popularity of the " Great Bed of Ware" was won , and produced on these boards with more attention to details and to scenic effect than haa ever been giyen to any Pantomime , will certainly enlist the Patronage of those whose pleasant memories of Covent Garden render it to them the recognised field of Pantomimic triumph , as ic will attract the visits of those who have heard only with curiosity of that which the stage of Covent Garden can produce . As the Royal Italian Opera , the house has for years been the most distinguished , as it is the noblest Theatre which London possesses . Since it has been rebuilt and remodelled it has been comparatively shut up to the public generally . The Theatre of Royalty , the House of Fashion , the heavy expenses of its Directors , have rendered it impossible to open its doors at the usual theatrical prices . Professor Anderson now submits his intention ( in full confidence that it will be understood and duly valued by the public ) to make the admission to the Theatre Royal , Covent Garden , the same as that charged to theatres of less pretensions , and with less capabilities to accommodate an audience . The whole of the magnificent balcony recently erected after the Continental model , and a parallel to which is not to be found in any other theatre in Great Britain , will be retained , and present its unrivalled coup d ' oril of beauty every evening ; the admission to it will ba 4 s . The Private Boxes on the Third Tier will be removed , to form a range of Upper Boxes , unequalled by any other theatre in London , the price ^ of admission to which will be 2 s . 6 d . There will be no Pit Stalls ; but the entire of the extensive and majestic Pit , capable of holding more than 1 , 500 persons , will be given to the public at an entrance fee of ! is . The Fourth Tier of Boxes will be completely removed , and added to the Amphitheatre , so as to constitute one immense , commodious , and eligible gallery , the admission to which will be ONE SHILLING only , while it will command a view of every part of the stage , and of the stupendous and elegant liouse . In fact , no attention will be spared by Mr . Anderson to render Covent Garden Theatre , par excellence , the house for Christmas Entertainment ; nor will he forget while consulting the convenience of the public , to supply them with the best talent that money can command for their amusement . The subject of the Pantomime is one of national importance , illustrating , by an historic parallel , the greatest event of this or any other age within the history of the two nations . THE ANGLO-FRENCH ALLIANCE ! The piece , ns will be seen by an explanatory line in the bill , is entitled "A LEGEND OF THE MEETING OF THE MONARCHS . " And the various circumstances which attended the meeting of Henry VIII . and Francis I . on the Field of the Cloth of Gold , are so introduced as to bear on recent occurrences .
