DRURY-LA NE THEATRE.—Her Majesty last night;
paid a strictly private visit to this theatre, We were in-
duced to enter the house by noticing a considerable number
of the police force on duty in the neighbourhood of the
private boxes ; on entering the house, we observed her
Majesty quietly ensconced in a modest private box, enjoying,
without fatigue or ostentation, the entertainments of the
evening. She laughed heartily at the tricks of the per-
formers in the animated pantomime ; and the feats of
Amburgh, the veritable dominator belluarum, appeared to
excite her surprise, and greatly to gratify her curiosity.
She evidently enjoyed the mimic scene with a gay and
honest relish, not at all incompatible with that strength
of mind which the performance of important duties must
demand. On her Majesty's leaving the theatre she was
loudly cheered by a number of persons who had assembled.
round the entrance of the private boxes. We observed in
attendance on her Majesty the Duchess of Sutherland and
Lord A. Paget.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.—.Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwil-
liam, those two deserving public favourites, had their benefit
at this theatre, on Wednesday night, and it was a bumper.
The pieces were—The Wedding Day, O'Flannigan and
the Fairies, The Irish Lion, and the good old farce of The
Two Gregories, in each of which Mrs. Fitzwilliam, with a
versatility peculiarly ber own, took a principal character ;
charming the audience alike by the witchery of her vocal
accomplishments as by her admirable acting. The exqui-
site feeling with which she gave " Robin Adair,' " The
Blue Bells of Scotland," and her " Medley of Melodies,"
together with several old ballads, one of which is worth a
wilderness of new-fangled crotchets—and the effect pro-
duced testified that pure melody is still appreciated by the
public. She was most cordially welcomed ; a compliment
also extended to her husband. Mr. Webster, Power,
Hemming, Strickland, and indeed the whole of the
dramatis personae, male and female, entered heartily into
the cause.

The health of the Marquis of Hertford is so much
improved that preparations are making for his removal from
Naples to Paris. His Lordship is expected in London
early in April. . .
