THEATRES.

HAYMARKET.
The pleasing succession of entertaining pieces con-
tinnes nightly to attract a crowded and elegant
audience to this interesting theatre. Last night the
comic entertainments of lase and Fall and Match-
Making were rkprated with undiminished eclat.
The characters are well cast in both pieces, and
were ably -sustained, In the latter Mrs. CHAT.
TERLEY played Lady Easily in an interesting and
polished style. Mr. Oxastay's Mille is an
able performance. Mr. JONES looked the gallant
Colonel extremely well. The entertainments con-
cluded with Dog Days in Bond-street. Mr.
WILLIAMS cannot be ton highly praised iii
Spree:arab ; he gave full effect to the character of
the usurious money-lender, front whom fear extort-
ed the declaration that " lie would riot ask more
than ten per cent, in future." Mr. floatutow
was respectable as Alfred Tretylian. Mrs. CHAT-
TERLEY'S Rosamond was like all this Lady's per-
formances, correct and elegant. Mrs. Gab (Mrs.
PEARSE) maintained' with full effect her claim to
the title.
The entertainments were received by a crowded
and elegant eudiente with warm and deserved
applause.
ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE.
The Care for Co.reon:bs was repeated last night
with (if possible) increased to ecen.. This little
piece will not soon lbse its attraction. The other
entertainments of the night went off with their
usual eclat.

WEYMOUTH, AuGurr $O.

This fashionable watering.place is rapidly filling
with company, and its attractions keep pace with
the distingui►hed preference bestowed on the town.
The theatre opened nu Monday evening, with a
respectable company of performers from the Theatre
Royal Exeter. A public hall took place the next
evening at Russell's Royal Hotel Assembly Rooms,
•nd the Esplanade is iender.d particularly enliven-
ing by the excellent band of the tat regiment of
Royal Dragoons, under the command of Colonel
Clinton, on alternate evenings performing their
martial airs, highly to the gratification of our nu-
merlins vi►itors.

The general theme of conversation at the public
libraries is devoted to the subject of the approach-
ing races, which will take place over the fine flat,
near the residence of J. Weld, Esq. South Down
Cottage, on the 20th :mil 21st of the ensuing
month. This gentlemao, at the earnest request of
the sub.crilsers, has politely acceptid the office of
Steward, and has subscribed most liberally to the
fund. A cup of sixty guineas value will be run
for, given by the Committee, consisting of the fol.
lowing gentlemen :
Sir H. Onslow, Mr. Rartrl)tre, Mr. Mills, Mr. C. Barton,
Culotte! Homer, Mr. J. W. Weston, Mr. H. C. Shirt, Mr.
Mundy, M.P. Mr. Miles, M.P. Mr. Young, Mr. Girardot,
Mr. &nett, Sir John Meade, and Governor Peon—
whose respectability cannot fail of rendering these
sports of the toil not only highly interesting to the
public; but also advantageous to the town at large.
Three other fifty pound plates wilt-also be run
for, given by the inhabitants, &c. and we have
no doubt but these races will draw together vast
concourse of people from all parts of the country.
The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of
the new bridge with masonic honours will also take
place the 10th of next month, and the regatta the
day after the races ; so that altogether we expect
the autumn season will be more gay than any we
have experienced for many years past.
