DRURY.LANJ THEATRE.
We regret that the performances which took- place at
t this theatre last night .for the benefit of the widows and
orphans of the sufferers by the loss of the Amazon
1 failed to draw a fuller audience. Some recent unfriendly
strictures on the undertaking which appeared in an in-
fluential organ may in some measure be thanked for this
failure in the desired- success. Strange to" say, the
royal box was entirely empty. The Hunchback, a mis-
cellaneous concert, and the• new farce of Too late for
11,E Train constituted the entertainments. That Mr.
Bunn's benevolent purpose was not satisfactorily carried
oat was no fault of his. , •

FRENCH PLAYS.

Les Premieres Armes de 'Richelieu, which was given
last :night,,' D'jazet exhibited the qualities of a
true actress. ' For the impersonation of such striplings
as the young Due de 4ichelieu.she has qualifications in
voice 'and figure peculiar to herself; and which givb

Ohre/alter de:l4oo(in, and Mdlle. Avenel the parvenue'

knees,and seemingly totally unconscious of being in a
