DRURY-LA A E THE iITRE.

Mr. MottT4:flea comedy of Town mid Comdrii,
and the favourite inelosdrioma of The Fedi, uf
Clyde, were bat night represented, by the !Wet tat
desire of their Royal Highnesses the Disks, awl
Duchess of CAMORIDGK. These Motor t ver.
spnages, accompanied by Madame EDEN N A.,,
Col. RANNet, M jor Davisux, Major Srii.utte,
and Colonel PRATT, arrived at the theatre a few
minutes after seven o'clock. 'flair Royal High-
nesses were received by Mr. Spill NG, who conducted
them to the last box hut one, in the dress-circle, on
the PRINCE'S side. linniediutely on their arrival,
the house, which was very muck crowded, and
sented most brilliant and frishinnahle spileartioye,
resounded with general plaudits. " Gud save Nee
King" was called for, and was executed ie the
entire strength of the house, vocal and instrumen-
tal. During the evening their Royal Highoesses
paid the greatest attention to the 'warn-matters.
The Royal Duke, from lime to time, appeared
busily employed in explaining to the Dodos:4
such parts of the entertainments, as a want Of
familiarity with the Eti;;:isli lauguage rendered
obscure. The Duchess of CAMBRIDGE is a (frit-
cately formed and interesting W 04111141. The !lei s:ve
predominates in her countenance. She was dressed
ill black—and a plasm Ostrich feather was the only
ornament she wore in her heir. The Duke of
CAMBRIDGE was also in mourning. lie looked ex-
tremely well, and seemed to rojoy the amusements
of the evelling very touch. Some allusions to mar-
riage, to politius, and to the fast able system of
the west end of the town, which occur in the co-
medy, excited his hearty laughter. Mr. KEAN,
eadma Glenroy, plsytd his principal settles wilt
furre and feeling. The interview with his brothel,
iu which he prevents hint front ctionmitting suicide
that which follows with Musiir, the temporary de-
stroyer of his grace—and the concluding scene with
Rosalie Somers—were finely acted, and were much
applauded. Mr. Dowroa's Corey was worthy of
his acknowledged fame. Mr. KN IGII r, as Jacky
Ilawbuck, gave us w wrong idea of stupidity pc,.
soulitied. The part of Phoric was well liltried by
Mr. WA t.t.ncit. Mrs. GtovEst, Mrs. Runtasors,
and Mrs. SPARKS. ts Mrs. 4.lenroy, Bosnlie
Somers, and Mrs. Mureei, petforivied their resptc-
live characters extreint ly well.
%he Fulls of Clyde succeeded the comedy—and
went off with the utmost eclat.

by the floating of flsge, the number and vdriety of
