HAYMARKE T THEATRE.

To give, we suppose, an insight into the afkr life
of the celebrated nobleman, who has attracted secb
crowded audiences to the Haymarket, Mr. SotherA
last night appeared in a nay„ one act farc,i by Mr,
H. J. Byron, entitled " Lord Dundreary, Married
and Dtme For." The public were too well pleased
to meet again with his lordship under any circum-
stances, and, as a married man, he was most cordially
welcomed. The curtain rises, and the elegant
drawing-room in his country villa is discovered,
and in a few minutes after the audience at once be.'
come aware of the fact that his wife's mother is both
master and mistress of the entire establishment.
Mrs. Mountchessington has become Lady Trot-
chard, and to relieve her darling Georgiana from
the cares and anxieties of housekeeping, she has
taken upon herself the entire direction of affairs,
his lordship being looked upon as nobody. AU
the affectionate family quarter themselves at his
lordship's residence ; one wears his clothes, smoked
his cigars, and borrows his money; another rides
and breaks the knees of his favourite horse ; another
is constantly pestering him to obtain an appoint'
ment for him; and, to make up the full measure of
discomfort, anofter is carrying on a flirt ation %via
a lady named Emily, fur which Lord Dundreary
is made the scapegoat. The boys, or som cone else,
steals the fruit out of his orchard, so that 011
calculation his lordship arrives at the fact that big
gooseberries cost him about fifteen shillings a piece'
This state of affairs is brought to a climax by his
mother-in-law bringing in a builder a.nd giying
directions for the reconstruction of the drawing-
room; but, throygh the help of the Yat,kee, Asa
Trencbard, Dundreary rebels against the tyranny
of his mother-in-law, and amidst a tremendous do'
sanction of glass and china ho proclaims his incite.'
pendence, and send his relations to the right about.
There is a good deal of fun about the trifle, and
although the puns are not of the most brilliant
description, thu audience enjoy and laugh at them
with hearty goodwill. The piece was a perfect
success, and will ensure crowded audiences until
tile close of the season, which is fixed for the 6th
of July.

ADELPHI THEATRE,

The termination of Miss Bateman's engagement

aving created a necessity for other entertainments,
Mr. Webster wisely, we think, has reproduced
Mr. Watts Phillips's exciting drama " The I)aad
Heart," in which the accomplished actor arid
maim:Ter represents the leading character, Robert
Landry. Mr. Webster was never mire successful

who combines in a higher degree than Mr. Webster
the ability to keep the attention of an audience en-
chained by his own individual exertions, and this
result he accomplishes, not having recourse to any
stage tricks or conventional shifts, b• t by the exer-
cise of the histrionic power which eminently
belongs to him. Never has this been better
illustrated than last evening. From first to ht,st
his admirable performance of the hero in The
Dead Heart" induced the utmost attention of the
entire assembly, and on the fall of the curtain the
applause was long, genuine, and enthusiastic. The
play was given with all the original effects, and
i„,,: the favour tvith which it was received it will
doubtless have an other long and successful run.
