HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A novelty was produced on Saturday evening. en-
titled " Richelieu in Love." Ic is a three-act drama,
and principally remarkable for the extreme polish of the
dialogue, for neither incident or characters are of a very
absorbing nwure. The three acts had better been com-
preascd into two, considering the slenderness of the ma-
terials. The story is simple. Richelieu, enamoured el
the Queen, ventures to declare his passion, in conse-
quence of having observed her Majesty's flirtation at a
masked ball with the Duke of Buckingham, who, in corn-
PsuY with Charles (afterwards Charles I.), is staying a
few days at Paris in disguise. The Cardinal is indig-
.llantly repulsed, but presently finds means Co tutu the
bites
she unen his haughty inamorata, by discovering. that
wijthat gardens'
r „Qua been met by Buckingham, at nightfall, in the
whither, however, it appears she went
a "ty innocent purpose. The jealous suspicions
Lnfetbe zing
are then strongly excited by the Countess
Dr6l,gon, a Court intrigante and secret agent of Riche-
-4 ; put the Queen, in the meantime, contrives to
check-mate her wily lover, who, to secure his own
safety, is forced to proclaim her innocence to his royal
master. The reciprocal pension of Prince Charles and
tho Princess Henrietta. with their subsequent betrothal,
forms a sort of uppendix to the comedy.
Mr. Webster's portraiture of the astute and hyped-
teed Cardinal was very masterly, and be delineated the
subtle features of the character with groat force and
suggestiveness. Mrs. Stirling, es the Queen, played
with minute and delicate refinement, and gave one of
those representations of a lively, high-spirited woman,
°Yelfinning with esprit, pleasantry, and contrivance,
in
which she is without a rive!. Mr. Leigh Murray played
the Duke of Buckingham. The Prince, a more piece of
sentimentality, Wei sustained by Mr. Yarnell°, and Miss
41' Vining was an interestiag represeutstivo of the
Princess Henrietta. The dresses and decorations are
superb, and the comedy altogether has heen put upon
the stage with great taste and costliness.
Considerable applatee, followed the fall of the curtain.
The calls for the author brought forth Mr. Webster,
;who assured the audience that ho bad not the slightest
knowlodgo of the individual, the piece having been placed
in his heeds a few years ego under econymous circum-
stances. Al he could tell them was, that it was by the
author of the novel entitled " Whitetaars."

The play oi" Riehelieu in Love," was accepted s3veral
Years ago by Mr. Webster, bat interdicted by the then
Lord Chamberlain, it is supposed in consequence of Anne
of Austria being made in the origins play to ammo the
male attire of a peso, which was considered an unseemly
exhibition and derogatory to the dignity and fitting prestige
of royalty. Being subsequently emondated, (and com-
pressed from five acts into three), it received the
sanction of the august personages who presides over
stage decorum, and we* launched with public notice on
Saturday, by the indefatigable manager of the Haymarket
Theatre.
