THE THEATRES.

Th 7. JAMES'S.—Harmony Hall, The Strange Gentleman,
TWaternzan, 71'he Miser's Daughter, and The Trades-
en's Ball, have drawn plenty of customers to the St.
Arms (as Harley calls it) during the past week ;
:." sq much so, that Artaxerxes is not to be pe.'2-
°lect 'until Thursday, when it is to be revived with every
givarat'tcr sustained by efficient vocalists ; and, in order to
th e sustained
possible effect to Dr. Arne's charmint music,
e• band will be considerably augmented.
ziS ~- uRREY.—On Saturday evening, after the drama of
talijent , the public were again amused by the extraordinary
o of Rice in Bone Squash. Pew novelties have gained
much upon the lovers of the Surrey stage as this ani-
mated sketch of negro society in the United States. The
3°t'i.c called " Jim Crow" will establish Rice in public esti-
ination. It is a decided hit. lie is inimitable in express-
-12-I,g to the life the gait, accent, and manners of the African.
The audience are in a roar of laughter from the moment he
Caters into a contract with the Yankey demon until his de-
parture for the lower regions. In short, it is almost impos-
sible to see him aml witness his excellent acting without
n
On Saturday night he was obliged to sing C"
kjirow no less than four times. At every encore' he varied
have
words, and produced a new burst of merriment. 'We
'4ve neither space nor time to do justice to Mr. Rice's
Inerits ; but this we will say, " Jim Crow" is an amusing,
`lughable performance.
SADLER'S WELLS.—We observe from the advertise-
ments, that Mr. Campbell takes his annual Benefit at this
house on Tuesday. He has provided a splendid bill of
re ; but independent of which Mr. C. has many strong
klaims upon the public of the locality : he has long been an
established favourite ; and he has a large family looking up
,t? him for support. We hope to be enabled to state that
ms Benefit has been a bumper.
Mr. and Mrs. Wood are going to Ireland, very advanta-
geous engagements having been offered to them.
Aliss Ellen Tree embarks at Liverpool to-morrow for
America.

n

AlArlaux MALIBRAN'S BIRTII-PLACE.—It has been
sserted that Madame Malibran was born in Leicester-fields,
1° Andalusia by another, in the Westminster-road (at the
hrner of the New-cut) by a third, when the question might
tkiapf" been instantly solved by a reference to the dispute be-
en S".. Manuel Garcia (brother to Madame) and the
(I.l,'"renr4F igaro. In May, 1830, Sig. G. writes thus—
‘l-`':"ltune Malibran is not an Andalusian, she was born at
