" It is easy to be convinced upon reading these
documents that they open a path to projects of
conciliation, and that they contain the basis of
negotiations likely to lead to a common understand-
ing between the different courts now seeking the
means of upholding tho legitimate interests of
Poland."

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

The sole management of this theatre has passed

into the hands of Mr. George Vining, and his first
venture, namely, the engagement of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Kean for a series of performances, previous
to their departure fer Australia, bids fair to
be a great and decided success. In the
stalls and boxes, last night, there was a
brilliant array of rank and fashion, while the
democratic element mustered in such force in
pit and galleries as to prove how great is the inte-
rest which all classes of the community equally
feel in the worthy performance of the Shak-
sperian drama, and how wide-spread is the
popularity which the most eminent expo-
nents of that drama have deservedly acquired. The
piece chosen for the opening night was "Hamlet,"and
the reception of Mr. and Mrs. Kean on their ap
pearance in the second scene was most enthusiastic.
The cordial welcome seemed to make a deep impres-
sion on the gifted pair, and on no occasion have we
ever seen them act with greater skill and power. It
is only necessary to say of Mr. Kean's Hamlet that
he acted the part with all that extraordinary effect
which has rendered his conception of the Royal
Dane so famous. From beginning to end the
audience watched for every gesture, and hailed
every old point with the greatest enthusiasm. As
Queen Gertrude, Mrs, Kean still indicates
her fine perception and delicate feeling
of character, for in her hands that which
has been looked upon as a part of second-
ary importance rises to the dignity of true art.
Her performance is still, as ever, distin-
guished by vigour and refinement, and by its re-
markable combination of profound passion, with
queenly majesty and grace. Ophelia was delicately
played by Miss Chapman ; and Messrs. Marston,
Cathcart, and Everitt sustained the respective
parts of the Ghost, Laettes, and Horatio, with much
exce lence.

At the conclusion of the play the applause was
quite extraordinary, and a more gratifying call
Mr. and Mrs. Kean ❑ever received at this or any
other theatre.

The engagement cannot be prolonged over 1
nights, as Mr. and Mrs. Kean have to appear a'
Liverpool on Monday, the 18th.

ST. JAMES'S TREATRE.

A new comedietta was produced at this theatre
last night, entitled " The Little Sentinel ;" the chief
merit of which is that it enablss Miss Maria Wilton
to give us another sample of the exquisite art with
which she converts her charming vivacity into
artistic effect. Placed by her absent brother to
watch over a widow lady (Miss Cottrell) very much
given to flirting, she circumvents the attempts of
two male coquettes; the one a foolish cfficcr (Mr.
Gaston Murray), the other a silly old-fashioned
fellow (Mr. S. Johnson), and after teasing and
annoying them in every way, she makes them ridi-
culous by drawing them into a flirtation with her-
self ; but she is herself shown to ba vulnerable,
when her own lover, a young farmer (Mr. C. Fen-
ton), turns the device upon her and excites her
jealousy. The absent lover returning, marriage
ends all further complexity.
The house was well atteTAcd, end there is an ex-
cellent company of performers now collected, which
if provided with really good novelties, cannot fail
to continue and extend the popularity of this elegant
and fashionable little theatre.
