THE ♦DILPHI.

We are glad to observe that the liberal exertions
of the Proprietors of this elegant and amusing little
theatre are meeting with their best and just reward
to its increasing popularity. Au elegant and crowd-
ed ansdieoce was assembled here to witness the per-
formancrs of last evening, which were as deservedly as
liearii;y applauded. Of The Barletta or Errors we
have before recorded our approbation, and we cars
only wow add that to its repetition we found our krmer
enjoyments considerabfiy increased. The delightful
singing of Mrs. TENNANT, who executed the airs
of " Ta the accendi," from ItOssttit's Opera of
Ttmcredi; " Pray, Goody," from Midas; aid
" Wapping Old Stairs." in the most charminng•
style, is in itself • powerful attracttosi, and a
source of high gratification. But seconded as it
is by the sprightly gaiery of Mrs. Waxi.err,
the dry humour of Mr. Cowet.t., and the
resistible thollery of our old favourite, WILEIN-
sox, we cannot but reckon this performance
among tine Luria theatrical treats of the preterit sea-.
