SU UREI"I'IIE.II7IE.

The Surrey Theatre was well attended on Saturday
night, and the favourite drama of Warrior* Kt-random was
excellently performed. The spectacles, as they arc
termed, produced he re, have generally considerable in-
teem ; aad u the actors are seldom below mediocrity, and
many of them far shove it, it is not to be wondered at that
this minor theatre obtains a great degree of encouragement
and popularity. Mr. Itowbotham, who is beyond all yews-
lion the Surrey star, sustained the part of Edward Kenai!-
zoo on Saturday night. and, although we have seen hint in
characters better calculated to display his talents, per_
formed to great advantage. Mr. 11. Kemble, who is, we
believe, considered as the more general favoutite, appears,
by the carelessness of his gait and manner, to tOrget that
it is more difficult to keep a good opinion than to gain one.
We perceive the 1131114.4 of both these actors added to the
list of the Coburg Theatre for the etisuing season. Of
course it is not our business to inquire into the affairs of
the management, hut we shall regret their absence from
the Surrey, and we do not at present see how the vacuum
they will leave is to hi tilled up. Mrs. W. Clifford !ter-
fimited, with very good effect, the part of Wordwk Kew:d-
oom, an old dame of the Nor Me rrilies class, who gives a
title to the piece. The evening's amusement was on the
whole excellent, and the audience manifested their usual
good humour and utisfaction.

It is sail, should his Majesty's health permit, that ;lie
King will ho 'cur the Theatres with his pres:uce during
the week.

Ma. Benet:usu.—This distinguished Senator and
Advocate, it is known, intends again contesting, at
the neat general election for the county of Westmor-
land, against the Lowther family. An event has just
occurred which is likely to ensure his success. Mr.
Daniel IViiaon, of Dalltain Tower' recently deceased, was
a gentleinan of large property and corresponding interest,
the latter of which he attached to the " adverse faction,"
commending an influence over three hundred voters. Ity
his dexate, this property and power descends to Colonel
