having fire places in it and bar-rooms , from which the company may be supplied with refreshments . There are also large saloons on the north and south sides of the the-, * tre , and also handsome square rooms ; one of which is intended for the use of his Majesty , and the other for the Prince of Wales . These rooms are fitted up in the modern taste , with large handsome pannels and glasses , and are susceptible of a great deal of decoration , which is intended to be introduced , as sopn as the ornaments can be obtained from the artists who are engaged in the preparation of them ..
The decorations of the theatre are in a style entirely new , and are intended to have a richness of effect , and , at the same time , a simplicity which may gratify the eye without interfering with any of the decorations which appear on the stage . With ¦ this view the cieliug has been painted in compartments of one colour only , and tho same style of painting prevails through the decorations of the galleries . The fronts and insides of the boxes have for the ground a clear blue colour ,. richly ornamented in chiaro obscuro . The different rows are supported by silver columns of antique forms , and the cut-glass lustres are attached to these columns bsilver brackets . In the center
y pannels on the front of the boxes are introduced paintings , by Rebecca , from antique subjects . Besides the silver columns which support the boxes , there are four principal square , hut small pillars , which support the cieling , and are decorated with lookingglass . The sound-board or cieling of the Proscenium is painted in compartments , and in the front of the Proscenium is introduced the royal arms , with trophies and other suitable accompaniments .
The entrances to the theatre , while the bill in Parliament is pending , necessarily fall short of the convenience which is intended . From Russel-street there arc two box entrances into a large hall , decorated with columns ; another entrance which leads to the gallery-staircase , ,-ind also a private entrance for his Majesty , On the pther side of the theatre , next Marquis-court , the same entrances are repeated : but , till the new street ( which is intended to be called Wohurn-street ) is opened , these can only be approached by foot-passengers , or by company coming in chairs . As a chair-door , the box entrance on that side is at present more complete than to any other public
building in London . There are five other entrances to the theatre also incomplete , one next Brydges-street for the pit , one for the boxes , two for the galleries , and one in Dr . ury-lane for the stage . In these two streets will be the handsomest and most decorated fronts ; besides the Ionic porticoes , these fronts are to be decorated with pilasters , trophies , rich iron work , and other analogous ornaments ; and will face buildings containing a coffee-house , tavern , library , shops of various sorts , residences for the performers , and others belonging to the theatre . According to the plan , it is proposed to be , in every respect , the first and completes ,, edifice oi the sort in Europe , snd worth y the capital in which it stands .

This false bottom is perforated with a number of holes , and pver them a filter of flannel . —The . barrel is "hen nearly filled . with the finest sand , beat down very hard ; a tube , communicating with the space between the two bottoms , js-extended to a copvenitnt height above the top of the barrel . The sea-water is poured into this tubeand pressing every wayaccording to its altitudesit endeavours
