LATEST THEATRICAL NEWS.—At the Olympic a
new work of Mr. Tom Taylor is announced for im-
mediate production, under the title of " Sense and Sensa-
tion," and is to be called "A Morality," viees and virtues
being personified in the dramatis personas, argument
bearing bearing upon the manners of the time. This piece, whichn
has been most elaborately prepared, will be preceded by a
new derio-comic drama entitled "Doubts and Fears." At
the Strand, notwithstanding the great success of Mr. 11. J.
e
Byron's extravaganza of "Orpheus and Eurydice," a new
comedietta by Mr. A. C. Troughton, entitled " Unlimited
Confidence," was announced to be brought out on Thursday
evening, but has been deferred for a week or two. A new
comedy by Mr. Leicester Buckingham is to be immediately
produced at the St. James's, with Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Mathews in the principal parts. Mr. E. T. Smith, who
never allows the grass to grow under his feet, is preparing,
on a characteristically extensive scale, an original romantic
drama in three acts, by Mr. John Broucham, the very suc-
cessful adapter of the "Duke's Motto." The scene of this
work, we hear, is laid in the time of James the Second, and
the action is full of stirring and picturesque incident.
As we intimated last week, Mr. Fe chter is preparing a
revival of " Hamlet," which, in originality of design
and perfection of detail, is to surpass incomparably
the famous Princess's revival. We b„ ear also of another
elaborate attempt in progress at Sadl e r's Wells to produce
this play in a striking manner, and we have no doubt that
a considerable amount of interest will attach to the perso-
nation of the melancholy prince whuri the actor's name is
made public. In the meantime, Webster's terrible
"Duchess of Malfi" is to be produced,. Miss Marriott sus-
taining the character of the ill-sta.-I-red Duchess.—The
