THEATRES.

COVOIT-OMIDEIV.
The play of fie Stranger was kit night preform-
ed at this theatre to a brilhYUt and crowded house.
The part a Mrs. Huller by Miss being
her last appearance thii season ; The Stralsger by
Mr.' You n. Our readers are so well acquainted
with the play itself, as well as the manner in Which
the different character's its it are supported at this
theatre, as to resider observittion almost onsiece.sary.
The circumstance of IV's, O'SEt Lt. nitiring Irons
the titelitYe rt;r the reoutiiiikr of the present year,
threw as Interest On this evening's perf.rm-
ance, and contributed, ho doubt, to the in-
crease of the audience. The manner in which
she last night sustained the part of Mri. Haller,
must have rendered even the temporary absence of
this accomplished actress a subject of regret to
the lovers of taste and nature. The powerful and
pathetic representation of her misfortunes—her
quick and exquisite set/ sibiroy for the sufferings of
her wretched husbandher heart-rending anguish
at the recollection of her fall from honour and
from Isappisiess—all thet e were given with so much
efrect, as to 'keep the audience in tears throuil t
the grestrr part of the )torformance. The last af-
fecting scene closed amid the enthusiastic applause
of the house, and as Use curtain fell, she received
the most flattering proofs of the public respect.
Miss O'NEtr.i, proceeds to Dublin, where she is
engaged to perform fora limited number of nights.
Her friends will find her powers considerably im-
proved. Her country has sonic cause to feel a na-
tional pride in beholding in this exquisite actress
and amiable young wotnan all the talents that csn
adorn her profession, and all the virtue. than can
endear and ennoble her sex.

ROYAL COBURG.
The increasing patronage and overflowing houses
at the Coburg Theatre. enable the Proprietors al.

most weekly get up new eni

worthy

of the

which this establishment so

deservedly receives. Last night three new pieces
were brought out. The first • new nielo-drams,
called Glenarvon, from a popular novel of the same
name, in which Mr. H. Keating had an opportu-
nity of sheaving considerable versatility of talent in
the different disguises which he assumed. The
concluding scene of the destruction of Glenarvon•s
castle, was contrived with great skill. and fine
scenic effect. The reflection of the blaze upon
the glittering armour of the combatants produced a
dazzling effulgence, which gave great magnificence
to the spectacle.
The broad farcical piece of The Dead Alive wax
fell 9f humour. The scene between the Bumpkin
and the supposed Ghost was rich in the extreme.
The piece upon which the greatest care aPpeaved
to have been bestowed; was, The Children of the
Mist ; or, A Legend of Montrose. This melo-
drama, as the name imports, is taken from the po-
pular story in the third series of the Tales of My
Landlord. The selection is extremely appropriate,
and made so as to produce considerable dramatic
effect. Nearly the whole incident of Major Du-
gold Datgetty was embodied, and the part excel-
lently sustained by Mr. SMITH, if we except some
little deviations from the Scottish idiom. The cha-
racters of James Earl of Montrose (Mr. C•RT,
UTCH), Allan Maeauley (Mr. Got a ILL( Sir
Deacon Campbell (Mr. RANDA 1.1). Lord Moe-
teith (Mr. HOWELL, jun.), Mand (Miss SEYMOUR),
Annot Lyle (Miss W wrsor4). Muggy Cameron
(Mrs. Gs itifie M‘Eugh (Mrs. W. B•Illtr.
NORIO, the Children of the Mist, &c. were seve-
rally introduced nearly in the manner in which they
are described in the novel. The scenery was ex-
tremely splendid, and the music appropriately
nationgl. The opening scene was finely descriptive
of Highland scenery, and the broad-sword dance
was executed with considerable skill. The pieces
were all received with the warmest applause.
The house at an early hour was crowded in every
part. We observed several of the Nobility in the
dress boxes.
