KING'S THEATRE.

The era on and .the;.
Morning Papers are ii ed With of Mr'..
IyATERs's excellent 'llli•Aii.tgeawrit. We have no
Objcetion to . this couminit Dot there
is so much falsehood anti iinpiininee tr~xeri ti! lvl ii
this diSh of quackery, that we ofL;ht ;:vt o;tss
it by lam:proved. While Mr. ViTATERs hepr.ti,:jS
his own ekeitions lairdaine :int! cer-
tainly without spirting panegyric, it w4id- have
been as der'ent mint to disparage others. We -are
nu friends to the exorbitant term extorted by
any of the' Foreign Harpies who sing or da:
this Theatre,_ but iii speaking of thew, o.Zile
GRAssitsit and otheri are eulogized to the sliv, it
is invidious and spiteful to hear the trause,..lidaut
CATALANI described as a " hacknied sitrger." If
CATALAN' is too greedy,. which we think she is
in cominou with the whole class of Nyheli
in other reSpects the unrivalled head and -iniOlty
ornament, she has been punished for her avarice;
.and is now picking up waa: she can, like a str-i,-1,;
ing player, instead of enchanting the farst eireit;s
of the Metropolis, and it does not become Mr.
WATERS CO insult this accomplished -songstress
with his mein vitirperatiOns.
.TbiS
Manager alsO claims greit credit for relieving the
misfortunes of many deserving performevs,
We imagine he strewed very little of this consi-
deration for any of those who .had been -engaKed
by his predecessor. Neither jnstice nor •lanna-
nity were, if we hare been rightly informed, con..
suited .in their= case—but Mr, IVATERs has done
much in-providing for his own friends and fol-
- -We shall not waste-time in .remarking
on the general management' of this short season.
To us it- appears, that neither the scenery, the
strength Of the operatic department nor. of ,the
corps de ballet, the production of new pieces,-or
new perforrpers of distinguished abilities brought
forward, warrant the fulsome commemiations
which Mr. WATERS
.has lavished on his own
merits. ,

TRAMMEZANI, a• delightful singer, though he
tdo frequently sung ad libitum instead or ad musi-
.to9k hi§ leavti on Saturday. • His place will
licit be easily supplied—and Mr. WATERS MSC
.bestir himself to procure •against next year a
Company whose excellence will justify egotism.
and Self--complacency like that evinced in the
pulls upon which we have been-animadverting.

THE THEATRE.-r--.The excellent Comedy of Rube
a-Wife an 4 !lave a ki'Ve was represented last night
at the Haymarket Theatre. Tautly performed
the part of Leon in a respectable manner, but not
with so much ability as .ve have seen him dis-
play in it ou fOrmet occasions. He was too uni-
I'm tidy grave and stern, but the ;iudience did not
,seem 'to' think so, far be was much..applanded.—
JoNFs.was,• as usual, spirited enough in the Cop-
per Captain.--Mrs. GII3BS, is one of the best repre-,
seittatives of E;tifania that-we have seen.—TOFA-
LY, who possesses some humour, but• is' n gene-
ral much too coarse, was rather too much so even
for Cacafogo.- We advises all the performers to
;adhere more strictly to the text,,-for we humbly
conceive, that no actors of the.
_present day are
properly qualified to enrich the dialogue of BEAU..
and FLETCHER- • -
