DRURY-LANE 771EATRE.

The lively Comedy of The Bvtv Bad,, was per-
formed here on Saturd Iv. Every char.ther was
well tilled. Mrs. JORDAN was in high spirits, and
Mr. SUET r, in the charafter of the old guardian,
appeared more than ever alive to the task of watch-
ing the chary is of youth and beauty. Mr. BAN..
Al IST ER'S Miro/a was entertaining, but I-a-her
whimsical. Mrs. SDARPE (lately Miss B. Mr-
M•Cle), Mr. Byrum, and Master BYRNE, the
Infant Drummer, in the favourite Ballet of
Lome in Lem, were loudly applauded. Mrs.
SA *ars always danced with grace. neatness, and
elegance; but she has now acquired a dash and
fling not to be surpassed by the best
.figuraste
f the Italian School. The entertainment of The
Caravan followed. We never heard so loud an
encore, as that which called f, r the repritinn or
Miss De CAMP'S air. Carlo appeared in health and
spirits, and performed his part in his usual style of
excellence. The appearance indicated more the
• middle, than the commencement of the season. The
house overflowed in every part.
