_Warlock's "Celebrated Ghost-Exhibition and Deceptio Visus"
has pitched its tent for the night on a Village Green, and the
thrilling Drama of "Maria Martin, or, The Murder in the Red
Barn, in three long Acts, with unrivalled Spectral Effects and
Illusions," is about to begin. The Dramatis Personæ are on the
platform outside; the venerable Mr. MARTIN is exhorting the
crowd to step up and witness his domestic tragedy, while the
injured MARIA, is taking the twopences at the door; WILLIAM
CORDER is finishing a pipe, and two of the Angelic Visions
are dancing, in blue velveteen and silver braid, to the
appropriate air of "The Bogie Man."_
