We understand that Miss STEPHENS is in the Ii
of new engagements for the ensuing season at [Nur;

The whole of the interior of Dru►y-lane Theatt
has been pulled down, even to the bare walls, for tt.
purpose of contracting the urea assigned to the sc.

mil), boxes, but not private ones. It is hardly pot
Bible to form a probable judgment of the result (
the intended alterations, but it may fairly be sat
that the public will derive much adnntage froe
them in the e-sential convenience of seeing sw•
