THE NATIONAT,

wardly convulsed with rage and suspicion, were depicted
with a strength of humour and fidelity which have rare-
ly been surpa.sscd.—Miss Kelly, in the severely impudent
Gallant, was irresistibly laughalle. The eollected as-
surance of her manner, while civilly turning the hus-
band out of his own house, finely contrasted with the
anxious endeavours of the latter to satisfy himself that he
was not jealous, and the playfulness of her manner when
she supplied the denouement, were in the highest degree
fascinating.
Mrs. Chatterly, wife of the actor of that name at this
Theatre, made her first appearance in the fine Lady. Her
countenance is prt-possessing, and her voice and manner
pleasing. She is rather too preelac in her speech ; but
this is an error which we apprehend she will not find it
difficult to correct. I ler reception was flattering. There
was in fact nn drawback on the gratification which this
Operetta afforded. It called fiirth almost uninterrupted
laughter in its progress, end shouts of applause ut its
close ; and, finally, it was announced by Wrench for repe-
tition, amid the acclamations of the audience.

SURREY THEATRE.

This Theatre, which has undergone u variety of re-
pairs, and has been rendered beautiful and commodious,
was opened on Monday night. The amusements were
preceded by uu Address, which introduced the theatrical
bill of Ewe to the audience. and which was delivered
with great propriety by Mrs. T. Dibdiu. A splendid
Burletta Spectacle tiollowed. It is denominated The
Sicilian ; or, the Prince and the Pirate,' and has been
produced with eclat. The overture and music are very
pleasing. The entertainments concluded with a melo-
dramatic romance, entitled ('hevy Chase, flaunled on the
celebrated ballad of that name. The proprietors have se-
lected a good company ;—many of the performers, parti-
cularly Messrs. Iluddati, Leonard, and Fitzwillicm,
have long Leen favourites with the public.

In the list of those Ladies and Gentlemen who ceased
to belong to Drury-Line Theatre at the dose of the sea-
son am—Mrs. Glover, Mrs. Murdyn, Miss Boyce, Miss
Nash, Madame Tree, Mrs. Mild, and Mrs. Dickens ;
Mr. Dorton, Mr. Pcnlev, Mr. Raymond, Mr. Pope, Mr.
Palmer, Mr. T. Dilxlin, and several others.—One ae-
cow t denies Dow ton. Elliston, we understand, is engaged.

ARRIVAL Ok"I'llE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.

Ills Grace landed at Dover on Sunday se'nnight. Some
say, that the state of his Grace's health, which renders a
visit to Cheltenham advisaide, is the cause of his return;
whilst others ascribe it to political cause:.
The arrival of the Duke of Wellington wus perfectly
unexpected, even by the Duchess, whom he is said to
have surprised as her Grace was sitting down to dinner
on Sunday evening. His Grace was introduced to the
Prince Regent on Monday morning. Ile then went to
visit Lally Ann Cullen Smith, his sister. Afterwards
Ire proceeded to the Foreign Office in Downinp,-Street.
In the evening he dined at his brother's, Mr. Wellesley
Pole's. Marquis Wellesley was present.
The Duke of Wellington passed through great part of
the crowd in St..lames's Park on Tuestlay, on his way
to the House of Peers, without being recognized by
the populace. Near the Horse Guards, he wus, however,
discovered; and as soon as his name was shouted, a most
cordial and long continued Wan was given. Those who
were near the carriage, thrust their hands, some into it;
others, who could reach no further, placed theirs upon
the door. They called Lyon the Duke to shake hands
with then; and he kindly grasped w many as he could,
while they ran by the side of the carriage. On return-
ing, his coachman drove faster ; but the crowd, which
was waiting far him, chased him along the whole drive
of the Purk. At the Stable-yen' Gate they mate up
with him, and revenged themselves ihr their fatigue.
They stopped the carriage, opened both the doors, had a
grand interview with him, seized his hands, threw them-
selves
upon his knees, and seemed inclined at first, to take
hint out of the carriage, afterwards to loosen the horses
and draw him in it. His Grace went through the
whole scene with great good humour, and. the populace
were ut Lust cleared away by the nurse Guards, but
without any actual violence, which would indeed have
been sadly misapplied to men of their commendable
feelings.
