THE THEATRES.

ROYAL COBURG THEATRE.— his Theatre
last night presented a new Melo-drame, entitled
Gilderoy, the Bonnie Boy. The scene, of course,
lies in Scotland, and the piece is represented
with the same liberal and enterprising spirit which
always characterizes the productions brought
forward at this place. The plot is interesting
in itself, and as the hero has been the subject .of
a well-known and popular song in Scotland, it is
likely to be very attractive, considering that a
great proportion of the natives of that country
are incorporated with the people of the Metro-
polis. The characters are well assigned, as may
well be conceived, since the piece is supported.
by HUNTLEY, SMITH, BEVERLEY, SLOMAN, and
Miss TAYLOR. The house was crowded, and the
piece was received with such a warmth of ap-
probation as to promise a frequent and attractive
repetition. The avowed author is Mr.W. BARRY-
MORE, a son of the veteran actor who so long
held a respectable station in Drury-lane Theatre.

SURIIEY THEATRE.-The Scottish Novels,
which for several years back have excited so
much celebrity, and given occasion to many
dramatic productions at the London theatres of
all descriptions, naturally led the Proprietor of
this place to' found another drama on the last
novel which issued from the same -prolific source.
This novel, as our Readers need not be told, is
entitled The Fortunes of Nigel, and the drama
brought forward last night bear; the same title.
The fortunes of this theatre have been as various
as those of NIGEL, and we, hope that they will
be attended with the same prosperous issue.
The new drama follows the original novel as near
as was consistent with the necessary compression.
for scenic representation, and nothing of the in-
terest is lost on the stage. The only objection
we have to offer is to the boldness with which
Dalgarno is made to address the King, when he
avows his future purposes, and which it is not
likely that a subject would have practised, or the
Monarch would have borne. The author of the piece
has shewn no slight ingenuity, as well as promp-
titude, in so rapidly producing the work, and it
but justice to add that the characters in general
were well supported, particularly that of the
King, by Mr. BENGOUGH, who well merited a con-
tinuance on the Drury-Lane boards. The part of
Nigel was well performed by Mr. BURROUGHS, the
new lessee of this theatre, and Miss GLoven
sustained that of the heroine with great feeling
and ability. The piece was highly applauded
throughout by a very numerous audience.
