THE LATE MILITARY FRACAS IN DUBLIN•—We hear
that the dissensions between a commanding officer of
one of the corps in Dublin and one of his majors have
resulted in the latter's withdrawing the offensive allega-
tions relative to a little inessroom merriment (which w as
strangely converted into an imputation of usage), and
generated by private pique, and that the major, who
has proceeded on leave of absence, will not again rejoin
the regiment.—United Seretee Gazette.

THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.-THIS
EVENING.—Mr. E. T. SMITH, Lessee, begs emphatically
to nckrowicdge the thnost unparalleltd support with which his en-
deavours to resuscitate the national drama on the boards of old
Drury have bz:n reciprocated by the overflow of admiring and &is-
cr cli.L.tating audiences, who have nightly bladed the appearance of
Mr. G. V. Brc.rite in the varied Sludoperian and other illustrations
of the national drama, which that eminent actor has had the honour
to demoutratc. The engagement of Mr. Brooke as a matter of
necessity has expired, and another and very different field of ope-
rations presents itself to the manager's enterprise, in catering tor the
tastes and requirements of his patrons, the British public. In fur-
therance of these objects, Mr. Smith has infinite pleasure in an-
nouncing the engagement of a galaxy of

will, by the combined excellence of the artists engaged, obtain a
triumph unmatched in the history of such performances. Not only

discretion, the result of a deliberative counc:l in science, has been
observed in the selection of distinguished public favourites, as well as
meritorious candidates for London approbation. Earnestly but re-
spectfully s.diciting a continuation of tnat support, which he grate-
luny recognises, he does himself the honchir of submitting the fo:-
loeriiiir programme, in confirmation of the integrity of his address
