THEATRES.

COVISNT- OAROZN.
The musical drama of The Antiquary Was perk
formed here lest night to a numerous and highly
respectable audience ; Mr. LISTON sustaining the
part of Jonathan Oldbuek with his customary resist-
less humour; and Miss H•LL•NDe, in Isabella
Wordlists, warbling melodiously the several airs an.
nexed to the part, winning the wannest tributes of
applause in all, and a most enthusiastic encore in
,4 Bonnie laddie ! soldier !addle!" Miss Love
played s!aria fri'lntyre with much modesty, ten-
derness, and sweet playfulness. The remaining cha-
racters were filled us in last season; and the tried
merits and undiminished excellence of the several
performers duly acknowledged by the audience.
The romance of B/ne Beard followed, and the
several performers having become perfect in their
;tarts, and considerable improvements having been
effected in the scenery, dresses, and decorations,
since its former representniion on Friday lest, it went
off with considerably increased effect, and was duly
applauded.

HAYMARKET.

The musical play of Raj Rey was produced for
the first time at this theatre last evening. Mr.
TERRY performed the outlaw chief, and added new
force to his claims ou the public admiration. His
sententious elocution is particularly suited to the
character, which is further aided by the hard and
manly lineaments of his face. Mrs. JOHNSON
performed Helen 11.1,Gregor with corresponding
energy and effect. One of the most gratifying ex-
hibitions of the evening was that of Mr. TAY•
LEURE, in Ai& Jorrie. His harsh tones,
northern accent, and artless turn of voice, chimed
in moat happily with the diversified emotions of the
Boi!lie. Mr. J. RussELL ',hewed his, penetration
to advantage iu enacting the mute and mysterious
cunning of Dougrsl. The musical parts, those of
Diana Vernon and Francis Oslsablisione, were very
ably sustained by Miss CAREW and Mr. LEON!
LEE. The last duet was admirably given, arid
Mr. LEW was encored rapturously in the song, "My
lore is like the red red rose." Sir P. Ver►on and
.Rashleigk isbaldistone met with suitable represen-
tatives in Mr. You NOlia and Mr. BARER. The scenes
prepared for the occasion, were on a scale of great
liberality, and were well executed. The success of
the piece makes it matter of regret that the pre-
senting of it was not thought of sooner, as it must
have, while the house realities open, a successful
run.
