THE THEATRE.

Drug-,Lane Theatre opened for the Season on
Saturday night, with the Tragedy of Richard the
Third. The hero of the piece was, of course, sus-
tained by ICENIBLE, whose merits in the charader
are too well known to require any comment at this
period. He performed it with a rigid observation
of the text, and with suitable energy and spirit.—
Some of the passages he gave with unusual anima-
tion, and notwithstanding all the exertion which
this arduou's part demands, retained his powers to
the conclusion. He was received with strong marks
of popular ebtoo-n, nn antr,rp. azd with veal
applause through the Whole of his. performance.

Wxouoirrox, who is always respedable,'because
he always plays with goad sense and unaffected
feeling, gave dignity and pathos to the charader
of King Henry. He also was received at his entrance
with the tokens of publk resped due to an old and
deserving Performer. CI-IA.)11. ES K nt.S, with
health evidently improved by his Continental ex-
cursion, acquitted himself with great spirit in Rich..
mond, and had a liberal greeting &Om. the Audience.
BARRYMOR.E, in Bnekinghain—and Mrs. Pow ELL,
in the Quern, had full reason to be satisfied with •
their reception. Miss Blocs) who by her assiduity-
last Season) and the variety of Characters which she
performed, has proved herself a very useful Actress,
obtained a gratifying tribute of general welcome.
The iest of the Charaders were supported by those
who have " no mark or likelihood" that can entitle
them to a distind report.
The Farce was No Song no Supper. BANNISTER,
Junior, in Robin, and SvETT in End/err;, exhibited
all their usual oink ability, and were both Very
diverting. The manner in Which they were both
received, was such as to shew that they rank with
the highest favOurites.of the Public.
KELLY, who performed Frederick in this Farce,
was not less kindly noticed than the resr.,
As the Play, excellent as it is) has been .t.o hack.
neyed, the numerous audience it attrakted on Satur-
day, Must-be supposed in a great degree) to have
been drawn by the ackndwledged merits of the Per-
former who supported -the' principal part ; but as
the taste of the Public was perhaps hardly ever •
more strongly directed towards dramatic amuse,.
inents than at the present moment; the crowded
concourse on this occasion may be considered as an
auspicious omen of the success likely to attend the
ensuing Season

The Writs for eleaing t Peer to stkceea to the

His Majesty's shiplrphigenia, Capt. STACKPOOLE,
which was burnt at Aboukir, had been to Cyprus
to get wood and Water, and had not long anchored
when she was discovered to be on fire; The quan-
tity of wood she had on board rendered the efforts
of the Officers and Men, for her preservation, inef-
feElual; Capt. STACKPOOLE arrived at Portsmouth
on Sunday last, from Egypt, in the Hebe.
A miller at Monks-Eleight, in Cambridgeshire,
was last week fined sl. -for adulterating the flour of
three pecks of gleaned wheat.
Mr. H. SIDDONS, the son of our great tragic
Heroine, is engaged for three years at Covent-Gar-
den Theatre. This Performer, since his entrance
into theatricle life, has chiefly distinguished his
talents in the Company cdnduded by his Uncle STE-
PHEN KEMBLE, and possesses a considerable de-
gree of provincial fame; which we hope the appro-
bation of a London Audiente *ill justify arid con-
firm.
