THE THEATRES.

PaURY.LANE.—What with the attraction of
the improvements in-this Theatre, and the Rolla
of Mr. YOUNG, the Tragedy of Pizarro drew
last night an audience that entirely filled the
house, and the play wont of( with great success.
Giovanni in London followed, and secured the
continuance of the visitors till a late hour.
Coy ENT-G ARD EN.—The success which at-
tended the Comedy of The Way to keep Him, at
the Haymarket, naturally led to its revival last
night at this Theatre. Mr. C. KEMBLE'S Love.
more is one of the very best of his comic exer-
tions, and is indeed an admirable specimen of the
art. The Widow Belmour, a character purposely
drawn. by Mr. Munrny, the author, to display
the talents of his friend Mrs. ABINGTON, was
last night assumed by Miss CHESTER, who brought
to it that beauty of person to which the original
actress had certainly no pretensions—but whose
vivacity and humour in the part amply atoned for
the deficiency. With a full recollection of Mrs.
ABINGTON, who may be classed with the best
comic actresses that ever appeared on the British
stage, we were much gratified by the perform-
ance of Miss CitEsTEn. She not only displayed
the graceful levity of a coquette with Lovemore
and Sir Brilliant, but an interesting sympathy
with the anxieties of Mrs. Lovemore, and a
spirited indignation on learning the dishonour-
able views of the pretended Lord Etherage.—
The audience were obviously of this opinion and
greeted her throughout with merited applause.—
JONES'S Sir Brilliant Fashion received just ap-
plause at the Haymarket, and it followed him
here with unabated warmth. FARMEN gave a
whimsical support to the whimsical character of
Sir Bashful Constant, which, as we before stated,
on the authority of the Author of the Play, was
drawn from a relation of his own in real life.
The great fault of this Comedy, which is admi-
rably calculated for theatrical effect, is, that not
one of the male characters is of a respect-
able description. Sir Bashful is contemptible
for weakness, and Lovemore and Sir Brilliant
are perfidious friends and licentious gallants, and
is it not possible to suppose that Lovemore, with so
amiable a wife, professing too an attachment to
her, could treat her with such insulting negli-
gence. Nor is the moral correct, as the dejec-
tion of his wife arises from his apparent indiffe-
rence and misconduct ; for if he had acted
otherwise, his home would not have been rendered
uncomfortable by her dejection. But MuarnY
was an enthusiastic admirer of CONGREVE, and
too implicitly copied the gallants of the former.
Miss FOOTE gave adequate support to the little
part of Lady Constant, and Mrs. CHAT.
TERLEY
,represented with effect that of Mrs.
Lovemore. It would be unjust to pass over Mrs.
GIBBS, in Muslin, which was marked by true
comic spirit. That, and her Flora, io The IVonder,
would be sufficient to stamp her fame as an
actress, if her general merits were unknown to the
public. The comedy altogether was so well re-
ceived that we find it is announced for repetition.

Mr. MASON, who recently appeared in young
Norval, is not, it seems, as stated, a pupil of his
Uncle Mr. C. KEMBLE, to whom his talents were
little known. His merit in the part,we are assured,
results from his own conceptions, and he came to
Covent-Garden Theatre on the liberal and stre-
nuous recommendation of Mr. YOUNG, whose
judgment of course was entitled to respect and
confidence. We were sorry to 'see the harsh and,
we may say, cruel treatment which this young
actor received from a Morning Paper. Surely
a young and promising actor might have expect-
ed an encouraging tribute of support.
On Saturday evening Mr. LisTorr appeared
for the first time, we believe, for many years, on
the boards of Cheltenham, as Sam Swipes, in
Exchange no Robbery, and Apollo Belvi, in
Killing no Murder ; and from the moment of his
entre to the fall of the curtain, almost incessant
laughter pervaded the audience.
We are sorry to learn, that Mr. MACREADY,
who has been passing the theatrical vacation in
traversing the classic field of Italy, experienced
a severe attack of fever, in consequence of visit-
ing the cold and damp excavations of Hercula-
neum, during an extremely hot day. Though
recovered from all the danger of the attack, it
left behind a degree of debility -which it was,
feared would not be entirely removed till he
breathed once again his native air.
'We are authorized and requested to insert the
following paragraph, as containing a correct state-
ment in reference to a libel upon Mrs. IWG ru-
BON, of our Theatre :
" It will be recollected that, at the last-Quarter Sessions, a
bill of indictment was found by the Grand Jury against Mr.
T. B. Johnson, for libels on Mrs. M`Gibbon contained in three
numbers of his Theatrical Investigator, anerelating to theatri-
cal affairs. The indictment stood for trial at the present ses-
siothi, but, we understand, it has been respited, in consequence
of Mr. Johnson offering, through his solicitor, to make an ample
apology, stating that he had been misled in respect to facts,
and giving up the name of a gentleman connected with the.
Theatre as the author of the libellous statements. The name
has been furnished to Mrs. 111‘Gibbon's solicitor, together with
that of a friend who is mentioned as having communicated, in-
nocently or otherwise, one part of the libels, from the author to
the publisher. Now we lose no time in stating, that both the
gentleman thus accused by Mr. Johnson have declared, in the
presence of the solicitors of both parties, and also to ourselves,
that the statement is utterly false, and that the theatrical gen-
tleman alluded to never had any communication whatever with
Mr. Johnson, either by writing, conversation, or message by
any friend or servant, directly or indirectly, not only on the sub-
jects in question, but on any other, since the opening of the
Theatre this season, up to the last month ; nor had even seen
I Mr. Johnson, during the whole of that period."—( Liverpool
I Courier, Oct. 23.)
SURREY THEATRE.--Yesterday a Gentleman
connected with the Surrey Theatre applied at
Union Hall for the Magistrate's advice. He said
that a Mr. GRAY, who was engaged by the Pro-
prietors of that Theatre to perform some very
extraordinary feats, had refused to fulfil his en-
gagement, notwithstanding his announcement in
the play-bills to make his debut, and to jump
over nine horses in the course of the evening.
The Gentleman added, that in this proceeding
t,.6.Proprietors did not feel so much on their own
account as for the serious disappointment which
would be occasioned to the public. Mr. ALLEN
oliserved, that the "Jumper's" conduct did not
come within the meaning of the Weekly Servants'
Act, and lamented that it was not in hiS power
.to make him jump according to his agreement;
however; the Proprietors had their remedy by law.
