MURDER OP MRS. DONATTY....-After the great
exertions made in various quarters to discover the

THEATRES.

_ TIATMARICCT.

Last night the comedy of The Heir to Law was
performed at this theatre, and all the characters
were so happily filled that it obtained complete
sticcess. Mr. LISTON performed the character of
Lord Disheiky, and exercised the same extraordi-
nary mastery over the risible faculties which so
eminently distinguishes all his performances. This
part affords an extensive field for his choice ha-
He preserved all the low-bred mawkish
babita of his early education, after his elevation to
the. Peerage, with the most inveterate obstinacy,
and kept his audience in biros of laughter with
his awkward attempts at gentility. Mr. Tzaaes
Pangliiit is • very excellent performance, and
his representation of it is so peculiarly his own,
that although them is no character more hack-
uird, he introduces it with all the freshness of
an orsgioal. Mr. IrOullOgß_per formed Steerst
t"ilt extreme propriety. To the character of
enrich, the old faithful domestic, Mr. Lics gave
ill the interest of which it is susceptible ; but it is
one of the very few defects in this excellent piece
that in the moot tender and affecting warts of this
character there is the most incongruous mixture of
levity and sensibility, and just perhaps at the
moment when the most poweifill emotions ore
excited, some unhappy joke is introduced,
which completely destroys them. Cice/y //weevers
is a character ircey hard indeed to fill, rod solely by
reason of its simpbaty; and 11:111 it not been for
former recollections, Mrs. BAKER would have been
even more pleasing than she was. On the whole
there has bred no comedy more successful for some
time; and it must be truly gratifying to every lover
of the drama. iu this degenerate age of thews and
pantomime, to see the legitim ite comedy revive on
these boards, where it found its earliest and,most
congenial asylum.

The opera of The Duentta was per formed last
night, and the audience were highly stooped with
Mt.. FISHER'S "canning little Isaac." Mr. PIA I-
MAM. as Don Carlos, sang with his usual sweetness,
and Miu FOTET was loudly applauded in "Adieu,
thou dreary pile," in the execution of which she
evinced that taste and science which have already so
firmly established lwr claim to public favour. The
farce of The Spuitd Child followed, in which KO
Ftrtixa has so often appeared and experienced suet
a flatteriug reception. She never exerted herself
to greater advantage; 'indeed, to much dial the
audience admire her dancing, hes. singing. and het
acting. that there was some apprehension lest Miss
Ftsufix's physical powers might be exhausted by
her ready compliance with the repeated cries of
