ENGLISH TI*ERA.HOUSE.
The new musical drains, entitled The Witch of
Deese!nigh, attracted lost nights full and fashion-
able audience. It went off with increased effect,
the necessary consequence of a first decided suc-
cess, which at once improves and stimulates the
performers to increased exertion,. The metamor-
phoses of Miss KELLY gave a terrific interest to
the Witch, and the other performers displayed
their talents to the best advantage. The state of
public feeliog makes it peculiarly grateful to notice
the success of this interesting theatre. The audi-
ence can never cease to feel that it is the nursery
of native talent, fostered and patronised by our
late lamented Sovereign, whose patriotic feelings
were gratified in establishing an English Opera
House.
SADLER'S WELLS.
A very splendid piece was produced on Monday
evening, under the title of The Chieftain's thsth,
or the Maul Class, founded nn the celebrated
tnelu-drama of Oscar and Alairina, in which the
whole strength of the company exerted themselves
to the highest degree. PHILLIPS, as Glenall, was
Very effective; Mat-lease, by C•MPRELL, was 111 most
finished performance; HARTLAND played Donald
with great ability; G. SMITH sung a battle song
with his usual excellence; KEELEY made more of
Randy Ramble than any body else could have
done; ELLIOTT'S Dalkeith was a very fine per-
formance. Miss E. Score sustained the part of
Matilda with much feeling.—The scenery, by
GREENWOOD. is of the most magnificent descrip-
tinn. The last scene, a spacious lake of real water,
and the destruction or Mackan's camp by fire, was
grand in the extreme.—The music is the selection
of NicHoLson, and was mach applauded. The
piece throughout went off with unusual eclat. It
was given out for repetition amidst the plaudits of
an overflowing and fashionable audience.
