* THEATRICALS. KING'S THEATRIL—A. full meeting of the Band . was convened last evening in the Orchestra, to give slgnor Bassist an opportunity for the first time to judge of their capabilities, as also of the effect and tone of the different instruments, as applying to the reverberation of the house. After the hand hsd all taken their seats, Signor RosstNt was introduced by Signor Itertawa, the stage manager, Grit to SPAONOLYTTI, and afterwards to the whole of the pet forco era, who received him with loud plaudits. We did not perceive any new faces among the instrumental per formers. with the exception of Iltawent TAILOR, whom we were happy to perceive transplanted to a proper soil. The i i;rce of music selected was [toast:Ws (Irani! &teeters to La Caw: Ladra, and the skill displayed appeared to meet the Composer's most sanguine expectations. This meeting afforded an opportunity of viewing the new splendid &ro tations of the interior of the Theatre, which we described last week, and which are nearly complete. The hew drop curtain,is of rich crimson colour; studded com pletely over with gold stars and roses alternately, but not shadowed into draperies, the border is the richest ornament ful of variety, and eight feet deep, notched with gold ; the top border alone is shadowed, and is of thq same splendid pawl n. There will be a moving pilaster on each side the proscenium to adiance as the curtain falls, with a cones punding ornament. The centre chandelier is the most splendid and costly ornament y et noticed at any of our th e atres. It is seventeen fret in depth, and thirty six in circumference, and ultogether new in appearance, with r i g lity thousand drops, all of them concealed by traospa• rrnt glass ornaments; the top is surmounted with a coronet and (whets, formed in spangles of glass, and the second surd' of the chandelier the same; the bottom ;is perfectly flat, anti forms a ;id) open star, bung round with festoons of brilliant drops. There are twenty two smaller chan deliers round the second and third circler, of an equally tasteful design, and so constructed that the ventilation can rever he impeded. Upon the whole, the house will present a more brilliant appearauce than has ever before been nit, nrssed. At the Ranger and at the tonotine Theatres last night, were exhibited pieces representing the principal eirum. stetter* connected with the late atrocious murder. That eresenied in the former was , the nielo-drams, which had been suppressed by the mandate of the magistrates, the e!her sad one which' ought •to have been worprelesed by the reanazers. They were both equally heartless and dis. gusting spectacles. At the conclusion of the piece at the SeßkeV, the disapprobation was Ions; and though some fait's at the 1 . 0301/110 greeted the representation of THVIV it Lt. with their applause, they appeared to be only of lest class who seemed desirous to show that they wonld he readily incited to follow the example of the original, we :r they tat afraid of meeting, with his fate. As if to render the piece as obnoxious and repulsive as possible, the last scene exhibited the court house at Hertford, a Judge presiding, a Jary in their box, surrounded by an audience, and the criminals plan -d at the bar. After a speech from one of them, the Judge pots on his coif with his right hand, while %dill the wave of the left, as by the wand of Ilar. kenia,thecurtein descends and terminates the tragedy IVe congratulate our townsmen, rep the Editor of the Cambria*, on the immediate prospect of the opeinr of the whole line of the New Canal, whichis to connect t' is Port With the Vale of Neat!) and with the rich count: y eastward np maw Brecon Hills; it is now navigable through nearly tie• whale lin-, and may be expected to lie in full scion witmo a f e w weeks from this time.

Yesterday being Plow Monday, the Lord Mayor assisted he the Recorder, and city officers, rsseriblell in the Comm ii Chamber, Guildhall, for the purpose of swearing in the Ittrly elected Common Council for the ensuing year.
