ADEL PHI THEATRE.
The Adeiphi company are once more "at home,"
and will continue " at home" every night until fa'
ther notice. They returned to the " old house in
the Strand last evening, on which occasion Marie
Ducange, A Bird of Passage, Going to the Derby:
and A Dancing Barber were peortned, and seemed
i
to afford as much delight to the audience as they did
on their original production. During the recess the
theatre has been completely renovated, and increased

whilst the private boxes are greatly improved by the

cases are _ carpeted,and there reigns a generti
air of cleanliness and comrort throughout. ss
a measure of precaution, as well as for the accomulnt;
dation of those who want refreshment, two new 01 d

Nell Gwynne Tavern. By these the exit of tn
public can be made in half the time it formerly vi.°l4
and all the inconvenient crowding on the main stair:
case is entirely avoided. Several very importeha;
alterations have been made on the stage and al 0
scenic department, in anticipation of the production
of various novelties. As (en extraordinary event in
the theatrical world) the whole of these alterations

MARY LEBONE THEATRE.
This elegant little temple of the drama opened for
the season last evening under the spirited manage'
ilient of Mr. Watts, who, we rejoice to find, still con'
times to uphold the cause of the legitimate drawl'
A new tragedy, entitled Velasco, from the Pell
of an American author, was produced for the first time
with complete success--a success for which
the author is mainly indebted to the admi,.
rable acting of Mr. Davenport and Miss Fanny
Vining. The Cid of Pierre Corneille has evidently
been the foundation of the work, and a melo-dramatio
structure has been raised on the old severe basis. In
the Cid, it will be remembered, the father of the great
Rodrigo is insulted by the father of Ximena (Chi'
men e). The juveni:e hero avenges the wrong by
killing the aggressor in a duel, after a severe atrugglet
between love and honour, and thus offends his be'
trothed Ximena, who finds herself involved in a similar
struggle, and feels bound to persecute Rodriet
though at hetirt she adores him. At last, by a victor!
over the Moors, Rodrigo makes himself so vol.
illustrious that, in spite of her father's death, Ximena
is prevailed upon to marry fl him. Although this
incident,. taken from the recognized history of 1;10
Cid, the union of Ximena with the man who
killed her parent has always created something 'of
shock. Colley Cibber, who wrote an adaptation,
Corneille's. tragedy, under the name of 2aine'l
d.ean
avoided the difficulty, by making the apparently
father recover of his wounds, while the Anlerletaba
author, who, by giving Rodrigo and Ximena no,
names. of Velasco and Isidora, has abandoned env.
nexion with history, has made the tale end tragiett
