PRINCLSS'S.—The public are at present Waled is
the management of this tissue fur almost the only owns-
nity they have of seeing Mr. Mecready. His
here "for a limited number of nights," has awe=
apparently en annual mad ; affording them who hate
already seen him oceueons (r rewiring their recollective% of
discovering new hemties in his performance, and enabling
strangers and visitor. is London to witness, under favourable
cireumatences, certainly the finest keine-mations of FlLM-
speerian characters that at present CA cowry of Elhakspeare
can exhibit. One of Mr. Maeready's soiposotonts. to last
12 nights during the present season, liguinemmi yesterday
evening, " Hamlet" bring the play Nlllll6llll hit W Menefee.
In addition to the ordinary wawa ammasti wk the
establishment, Mrs. Warner has boa engaged to ploy wha
M remedy, and some other additions have been sok to dm
strength of the nista.
SADLER'S WELl.4.—Mitittrin'e tragedy of "Bertram,
or the Castle of St. Aldobrand" was revived here last night,
after having been in abeyance, we belay., for many years—
,. many, that the last person we r. member to bays sees im-
personating its hero, woe Edmund Keen ; and with all credit
to Mr. Phelps, we are disposed to think that, in default of
Edmund Kean, or of his parallel. Bertram might as well
have still remained in abeyanos. It is a tragedy, or, more
accurately, rye ally drama, which is far more adapted foe
the elect change map, siskient u it is in action and situ-
ation. The mas Mae aides piers is so faulty that, with-
out the closest appMaties OW tor, the spectator who has
not ascertained the story tees poodoot perusal, is very much
at a loss, to use a homely *miss, to know what it is all
about; while the nom telly bar/seed see in it little more
than the disagreeable tionools of Gene vengeance, without
any distinct meaning la tbs here, and a fall from virtue,
as sudden as it is nassimuntable in the heroine.
In Miss Addison's hands Imagine is rather the heroine of
what we imagine to have been Maturia's cons ption, titan
the heroine of his written drama, whose frailty appears
somewhat of the coarsest. Our businew, however, is not to
analyse the play, but aimply to roentirm its revival. We
have expressed our ophacu of Mita Addison's performance.
The Bertram of Mr. Phelps is is finished piece of seting, but
the part is one needing lees the es complishrd artist
than the nun of plusiomte energy. Meturin was
an author who always wrote in a "fine phremy,"
and be required for his heroes hietrione of corresponding
quality. We would not have it inferred that Mr. Phelps's
performance of the character was tame, or even unimpas-
sioned, but simply that it was not the wild ti mpest imagined
by the author, and the expression of which is essential to the
due comprehension of the character on the part of the
audience. Mr. G. Bennett spdke the apeechee put into the
mouth of the Prior of St. Armelas, with his usual emphasis,
and Mr. Marston dig the nothing he had to do as Aldo-
brand extremely well. We were little pleased with the
rwinores pentium, exceed, indeed, with 2nd Robber, who ex-
pressed his Milne fo do a deed with a feeble ft./clearness that
was very diverting. There was a good house, with the ex-
ception of the dress-boxes ; but of course_senteel people can-
not be expected to go to the theatre on Whitsnonday.
AOTLEY'O AMPHITREATRIL—In compliance with
his annual custom, Mr. Batty produced. last night, a" Whit
euntide Novelty," under the attractive title of "The Golden-
footed Steed; or the Charmed Horse of the BI ck Valley."
This "new, grand, novel, magical, specialise sketch," (we
speak by the bill) is a very effective means for dispaying feats',
of s quitation. Of course one does not look fur a nlot in such
' a production ; nor should one be scrupulous about " the
unities." Some of the scenes are laid in New Grenada, the
governor of which phut plays a distinguished stile; there is
also an African serenader (" with a banjo song,") who
makes some capital Irish bulls; and " EMI, the spirit of
evil," makes his debit in propriapereessa, with eyes of very
sufficient diameter, and a spangled blue mantle. It is need-
less to add that the hero of tke piece, " The Golden-footed
Steed," played his part to perfection ; his mission appeared
to be to render happy the governor's daughter, in *bull he
was ably supported by the large piebald horse, and the
" African Serenader," who sings " Lucy Long" irresistibly.
Some of the scenery, said to be painted for the occasion, in-
eluding views of the castle and the mountains of New Gre-
nada, is very effective. The equine drams was received with
unmixed approbation; we may safely pronounce the "Spirit
of Evil" an established favorite. In the succeeding portion
of the entertainment, which consisted of equestrian feats in
the circle, the several members of the company displayed an
astonishingagility ; and Idr. T. Barry, the clown, who has
some excellent new jokes founded on that pleasant subject,
the dearness of provisions, drew screams of delight from the
galleries. The performances concluded with " The Bride of
Ahydos."
SERREY.—After a brief recess this theatre re-
opened last night, and introduced an operatic company, 1
*elided from the two major houses (Drury-lane and Covent-
garters). The opera wee Bellini's Bouniusbula." Amino,
Miu Rainforth ; Lisa, Miss Rebecca lessee; the Court!. Mr.
Ls filer; Elvin°, Mr. W. Harrison; and Alessi*, Mr. H. H ern-
castle. So well known are these artistes in these Deseret '
rides that it would be mete of space to eater into a detailed
criticism ; it is sufficient to say that their r fforts lost none of
the success they have already achieved, and certainly their
transit across the Thames will tend considerably to increase
their well-merited fame. The orchestra (conducted by Mr.
I. If Tully) has been considerably increased. The
chorus was excellent; and, altogether, the opera was pro-
duced in a manner which is meet creditable to the manage-
ment, and all parties concerned. At the fall of the curtain,
the principals were called before it, and received the plaud.ta
of an enthusiastic but discriminating audience. A new
nautical melodrama, from the prolific pen of Mr. Fitxball,
entitled "The Wreekand the Reef," full uf startling incidens,
and abounding with clever scenic effects, wound up the
entertainment, and dismissed the holiday-makers, highly
gratified, to their respective homes, at a reasonable hour.
