MANCH:. SI'ER THEATRE.

Expediation has long been on the tip-toe respelling
this new Theatre-Royal, which having been in..oghr
to a completion, was ripened, on Monday evening
last, with the Comedy of Folly as is 11i.s. and the en-
tertainment of RaiMC It is unnecessary to say
much as to its exterior aspeß, the whole being built
of plain brick ; lent the interior is finished in a style
of peculiar elegance and taste, equal, if not superior
to any Theatre in the United Kingdom. It is, be-
fore the curtain, in the form of thury-line home,
and ornamented in a superb and delicate manner ;
.there are two rows of boxes under tire gallery, but
the latter is inconvenient and defective, owing to its
not being sufficiently sloped ; insomuch that those
persons seated on the benches in the rear, arereclu-
ded seeing the front of the stage; a defrai which, we
doubt not, will be remedied at an early period. This
inconvenience was fully exemplified on Monday
evening, when the performers were repeatedly called
upon to retire farther on the stage, in order that the
people in the back s ats might have a view of them.
The prop ietors merit rv:ry praise for the liberality
they have evinced in the whale building; and the
respeaive artists have displayed the utmost judg-
ment and taste in the seer., ry, which is uricu.amoely
beautiful; nit is the mechanist, Mr. C 4 vott.L. less
entitled to eulogy for the adroitness he Las rr
eel in the machiatry. The interinr is ort.am,:rited in
an exquone style; and the Kr era's Arms are placed
over the orchestra, on the roof. The orchestra is a
kind of Oblong, with tyre nese of musicians, par; of
whom sit with then faces, the other with their backs
to the stage. The sew theatrical auxiliaries are
Messrs. MeLvie, Muscle, HILL, Mts.Hint , Mrs.
W. Peresere. and Miss BOOTS. H•starron, the
town's old Irish favourite, is gone, aid Mr.
M'Clieenv supplies his place. The Theatre. which
is estimated to hold_3ool. was nearly filled on Mon.
day.

Mr. Youno, last night, at the Haymarket Thea-
tre, perforra•,d the part Lit The Strap', in K °Tat-
sties play of thAt name, and gave a very excellent
delineation of the unfortimate milanshrope. In the
fourth 3a, where he exclaims,
God ! Girl ! What are chains and tortures eornPared
with the agonis.ng thoughts of a deez:eed, yet doat.og but.
band !"

he received the most unbounded applause. A young
Lady made her ilehat in the part of the Cow.i.w of
Wallowa. She is tall, and a good figure, but WAS
two much overcome by bet fears to be a fair 'Ojai
of criticism. The house was extremely full ; the
Earl of GALLOWAY, Lord HAAEWOOD, wad Lady
Tuossesos, were present.
