This splenditl Eetablishment exhibited on Tuesday night one of the most brilliant and crowded audiences that we have seen during the present reason. The Princess Charlotte and Prince Leepeld entered the lie gent's box soon after nine o'clotl, and were greeted, as usual, with that respectful and enthusiastic welcome to which their exalted rank so justiv t ntitles them. We lave now to notice another entri.: - c which was marked with the strongest feeling we ever witnessed—a feeling naturally 4wcited by the presence of the greatest General England, or any other country, ever had to boast. It is scarcely necessary to name the Most Noble the Duke of Wellington. His Grace arrived at the Theatre about a quarter before eleven o'clock, and t as in an instant re cognized by the whole of the audience. It was no com mon welcome: the Hero was cheered and huzzaed from all quarters of the house, and they were repeated again and again, until, apparently, the excess of the pluudits rendered almost powerless the enthusiastic admirers of this great man. The air of " See the Conquering I conies," was delightfully played by the whole of the Or chestra, and followed by the national Air of " God save the King." This was sung in admirable style by the ('ompany employed in the Opera, and Joined most heart ily by the PAncess Charlotte and all the audience stand- ing. The (feet was itoposii:g in the extreme ; and we witnessed i:, as did the distinguished visitors present, as ' 1 a treat seldom to he met with, and with the most extra- oratary pleavure. The pikes for the evening were 7aint,' the Divertisement of ' Endyntiore, and the new Pallet, entituled ' Emmeline.' Each was received with marked approbation. 00`.T.NT-6 11tDEN. Monday night the l'rincess Charlotte and Prince Leo pold honour.:: Covent-garden Theatre with theirpresence, to see the performance of Miss O'Neil in the Tragody vi Romeo and J.liet, together with the Melo-drums of Timukr the Tartar. The house was extremely crowd ed ; and the Illustrious Pair were rcceised with most e.ident tekens of popular gratification. The Play was well aett,ll; and on no former occasion have we known Miss O'Neil to receive more distinguished or uterited ap plause. HAYMARKET. This, the oldest ,o rarer Theatre iu the metropolis— the remembrance of which is ever connected with the recollection of Foote's broad humour, and of Colman's si,arkling wit—and which has many claims on public patronage, as having been the point from which several actors, of firt-rate eminence, commenced their profes sional career in London—was on Monday night opened };: e the season. The interior hos been newly painted— and the general appearance of the house is light, airy, and elegant. Macklin's satirical Comedy of The Man al the Itarld was selected fin- the occasion, and was pro duced with great strength and effect. The company is composed of a selection of eminent perfinmers from the two winter theatres, and a few provincials ; and with every prospect of success Lam the talents that arc en gaged. The Castle Spectre was the play of Tuesday.—Mr. hleg!..;et, who was brought out last season, acted Osmond with considerable effect ; and Mrs. Egerton made her first t,ppez,rance on these boards, as Angela, and was honoured with general applause. In The Review, which was the Ltlerpiece, Fawcett was the representative of Caleb Quo- Lan (his first appearance these eight years at this House). -1 his performance furnished the accustomed treat, and left the audience nothing to desire. A Mr. Crisp came tinlVartl as John Lump, and was tolerably successfid. Tokely was the Looney, Mrs. Gibbs the Grace Gay lave; aaa th.r Farce went off with great eclat. NEW I.NGLIMI OPERA. Tuesday night, after the Opera of The Siege of Bel- Trade, which was repeated with great success, a new Operetta (as it was called in the bills) was acted for the first time, under the title of Is He Jealous The busi ness of this trifle arises out of the anxiety ()fa fashionable 'Lady to aivaken the a%ctions of a philosophical hus band by milking him jealous. The return of her sister flom the Continent, a high-spirited widow, assists the plan she has thrmed ; and the sprightly Ilarriet, accou tred us a be.7.u, makes love to her sister befiire her bus- LuntCs flue.; who, of mune, f4vours the joke, till the lat ter becomes alarmed, stud, unsurprising them in the La dy's boudoir, desperate.

THE NATIONAT, wardly convulsed with rage and suspicion, were depicted with a strength of humour and fidelity which have rare ly been surpa.sscd.—Miss Kelly, in the severely impudent Gallant, was irresistibly laughalle. The eollected as surance of her manner, while civilly turning the hus band out of his own house, finely contrasted with the anxious endeavours of the latter to satisfy himself that he was not jealous, and the playfulness of her manner when she supplied the denouement, were in the highest degree fascinating. Mrs. Chatterly, wife of the actor of that name at this Theatre, made her first appearance in the fine Lady. Her countenance is prt-possessing, and her voice and manner pleasing. She is rather too preelac in her speech ; but this is an error which we apprehend she will not find it difficult to correct. I ler reception was flattering. There was in fact nn drawback on the gratification which this Operetta afforded. It called fiirth almost uninterrupted laughter in its progress, end shouts of applause ut its close ; and, finally, it was announced by Wrench for repe tition, amid the acclamations of the audience. SURREY THEATRE. This Theatre, which has undergone u variety of re pairs, and has been rendered beautiful and commodious, was opened on Monday night. The amusements were preceded by uu Address, which introduced the theatrical bill of Ewe to the audience. and which was delivered with great propriety by Mrs. T. Dibdiu. A splendid Burletta Spectacle tiollowed. It is denominated The Sicilian ; or, the Prince and the Pirate,' and has been produced with eclat. The overture and music are very pleasing. The entertainments concluded with a melo dramatic romance, entitled ('hevy Chase, flaunled on the celebrated ballad of that name. The proprietors have se lected a good company ;—many of the performers, parti cularly Messrs. Iluddati, Leonard, and Fitzwillicm, have long Leen favourites with the public. In the list of those Ladies and Gentlemen wh o ceas e d to belong to Drury-Line Theatre at the dose of the sea son am—Mrs. Glover, Mrs. Murdyn, Miss Boyce, Miss Nash, Madame Tree, Mrs. Mild, and Mrs. Dickens ; Mr. Dorton, Mr. Pcnlev, Mr. Raymond, Mr. Pope, Mr. Palmer, Mr. T. Dilxlin, and several others.—One ae cow t denies Dow ton. Elliston, we understand, is engaged. ARRIVAL Ok"I'llE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. Ills Grace landed at Dover on Sunday se'nnight. Some say, that the state of his Grace's health, which renders a visit to Cheltenham advisaide, is the cause of his return; whilst others ascribe it to political cause:. The arrival of the Duke of Wellington wus perfectly unexpected, even by the Duchess, whom he is said to have surprised as her Grace was sitting down to dinner on Sunday evening. His Grace was introduced to the Prince Regent on Monday morning. Ile then went to visit Lally Ann Cullen Smith, his sister. Afterwards Ire proceeded to the Foreign Office in Downinp,-Street. In the evening he dined at his brother's, Mr. Wellesley Pole's. Marquis Wellesley was present. The Duke of Wellington passed through great part of the crowd in St..lames's Park on Tuestlay, on his way to the House of Peers, without being recognized by the populace. Near the Horse Guards, he wus, however, discovered; and as soon as his name was shouted, a most cordial and long continued Wan was given. Those who were near the carriage, thrust their hands, some into it; others, who could reach no further, placed theirs upon the door. They called Lyon the Duke to shake hands with then; and he kindly grasped w many as he could, while they ran by the side of the carriage. On return ing, his coachman drove faster ; but the crowd, which was waiting far him, chased him along the whole drive of the Purk. At the Stable-yen' Gate they mate up with him, and revenged themselves ihr their fatigue. They stopped the carriage, opened both the doors, had a grand interview with him, seized his hands, threw them selves upon his knees, and seemed inclined at first, to take hint out of the carriage, afterwards to loosen the horses and draw him in it. His Grace went through the whole scene with great good humour, and. the populace were ut Lust cleared away by the nurse Guards, but without any actual violence, which would indeed have been sadly misapplied to men of their commendable feelings.
