DRURY-LANE 77IF.A7'RE.

The historical play of Deaf and Darn& was
performed here last night, and proved very effective.
It possesses a great deal of pure sentiment and
feeling, which were well expressed by the several
performers. The solemn, sententious manner and
enunciation of Mr. HOLLAND, appeared to great
advantage in the humane and philosophic De
L'Epee. Mr. RAE was prevented by indisposit
from undertaking the part of St. Aline, hut it was
well sustained by Mr. STANLEY. The play was
succeeded by • new interlude, entitled Amoroso.—
It is a ludicrous production of the broadest cast,
and went off with eclat. A King is in love with
his house-maid, and his Queen with his cook. The
poetry being appropriate, is necesserily the language
and subeect matter of the kitchen, but the airs are
old and established favourites,. It excited great
laughter stud warm applause. On the rising of the
curtain, C;oal save the King was played by the trend
iu compliment to their Royal Highnesses the Duke
and Duchess of GLOUCISTBR, and the Princessi
AUGUSTA, who were prevent. After the interlude
it waiwapug by. shalom! strength of the thcatrri
accompanied by the hand.
The house displayed a full sad elegem andienee.
