Event Comment: MMist's, 6 Jan.. We hear that in a certain Alley in Wapping during the Holidays the Coronation of Anna Bullenv has been represented by Punch's Company of Actors with very great Applause; and that all that have seen it agree, that they have far excell'd their Brethren of Drury-Lane in the Conduct of that Farce; and, it is the common Opinion, that the wooden Actors have much the best Heads for Theatrical Decorations

On Tuesday Night last a ridiculous Piece was acted at...Drury-lane, which was neither Comedy, Tragedy, Opera, Pastoral or Farce; however, no Thief or Robber of any Rank was satyriz'd in it, and it could be said to give Offence to none but Persons of Sense and good Taste; yet it met with the Reception it well deserv'd, and was hiss'd off the Stage.
