SURREY TIIEATRE.

A most interesting and well-appointed melo-
deatne was last night produced here, under the title
of .The I'rophecv, or the taunt Spectre. founded
on. Lord ORFORD'S Cleat qf Otranto. The music,
scenery, &c. are of the very best description ; every
point of the romance, whether comic or terrific, is
faithfully adhered to, ■nd appears still more effec-
tive on the stage than in the novel. Much of the
serious dialogue is taken from JEntsoit's 7'rogic
Romance; the lighter characters and music quite
original. HUNTLEY and %Victims made their
tirst appearance this season. and were warm-
ly greeted ; but the principal novelty of the
evening was the debut at this house of Mrs.
CHATTERLRY, from 'the English Opera. whose
successful. exertions prove her a most effective
addition to this very excellent company. Miss
TAYLOR, in the Prisceu of Otranto, was highly
applauded; and BENGOUGII, in the Friar, added
much to the interest of the melo-drame. FITZ.
MILLIASI and WYATT. and the rival chamber-
maid•. personated by Mrs. BROOKS Red MISS COPE-
LAND, relieved the weighty part of the piece with
rich and appropriate comic acting, and the whole
was given out for repetition with peals of long and
continued assent.

EARL OF LONSDALE'S BIRTH-DAY.

Wednesday sennight being the anniversary of the
lirtit of the Earl of Lirosdale, K.G. was observed at
Vtlitrhaven with every mark of respect.—At eight
o'clock in the morning a gun was fired from the fort,
toil in it few minutes the colours were hoisted at
t 1; the places where such demonstrations of public
;ratulation are usually exhibited. The example
Fll speedily followed by the shipping, and in a
'ere short time flags and pendants were seen wav-
y in every quarter.
The two principal dinner parties were at the sc-
ooted places—the Golden Lion (James Steel,
'4 the chair), and the Black Lion (John
Esq. in the chair.)—The parties amens-
little after three o'clock ; their numbers
the same as on former occasions, and the
...Timmy and hilarity of the meetings never exceed.
ed by any of the former returns of the day.—The
tables were most plentifully covered. Amongst the
elands was a profusion of venison, from Lowther
("mule ; and a present of char from Mr. Jopson,
of Buttermere.
After the cloth was drawn the usual occasional
tniuts were drunk, followed by a number of others
of a general nature—loyal and constitutional—in-
terspersed with sentiments, songs, and recitations,
all tending to promote the conviviality of the meet-
ing. which was kept up with great spirit till a late
hour.
In the evening a message was sent from the
Golden Lion to the Black Lion, proposing to the
gentlemen there assembled as union of the two
chimer parties, in bespeaking a dramatic perform-
ance for Monday the 9d. This was readily agreed
The piece chosen for the evening's entertain-
ment was Sheridan's excellent comedy of The
School for Scandal.
