THE THEATRES.

All the chief metropolitan theatres being opened
by Royal command, and free to the public, the
loyal lieges took advantage of the gracious invita-

tion and filled the various theatres.
There was not any special performances for the
occasion as regards the dramas themselves, the
pieces now running being performed. Epithalmia
and odes, however, were recited at some of the
theatres.

Drury-lane contented itself with adding a third
verse to Mr. Brinley Richards's " God bless the
Prince of Wales," which Mr. Haigh sang so as to
ensure an encore. The house was well fiiled, and
the audience were highly appreciative of the effects
in the spectacle of " Bonnie Dundee."
At the Lyceum an elaborate scene was produced,
in which Miss Elsworthy, as Britannia, recited an
ode commemorative of the Royal wedding, and
a chorale composed by the Prince Consort, and
sung in St. George's Chapel during the marriage
service, was reproduced by a very sweet choir.
To this succeeded a very cleverly contrived tableaa,
which, after giving an illuminated view of St.
George's Chapel and Windsor Castle, dissolved into
allegorical representations, in which the portraits of
the Prince and Princess were surrounded by Bri-
tannia and Fame, and many other symbolical figures.
This scene was capitally managed and was ex-
tremely effective, the curtain going down to " God
save the Queen," of which the audience tank up the
refrain and expressed their loyalty most lustily.
At the Adelphi Miss Avonia Jones recited a very
lengthy epithalamium, written by the author of
" Whitefriars." This seemed to please, though some
of the allusions were extremely classic, and of course
rather removed from the comprehension of a holi-
day audience. Still Miss Jones's very impressive
manner produced a corresponding effect. The usual
performances, in which Mr. Toole figured, were of
course greatly admired.
The Olympic Theatre contented itself with the
usual performances, and they were found highly
satisfactory. The Princess's was well attended,
and there, ton, a special epithlamium was given.
The Haymarket delighted the pure British public
with the inimitable Lord Dundreary, and never
were his eccentricities more enjoyed.
The theatres were all of them well filled, but not
one of them were inconveniently crowded, though
evidently with audiences not much in the habit of
visiting ouch places, yet the decorum observed was
unimpeachable, and it was remarked by the officers
of the various theatres thatse theytt o Apel

.
they did credit to our national manners as have the
mil.ions who have been out in the streets for this
four days. No signs of intemperance, and not even
the least roughness of manner was In fact,
and a delightful
observable in
the many theatres into which we looked, but all
was rational and pleasant enjryment.
We may also
congratulate the various managers, who seem to
have made their arrangements with great skill and
success.
