ADELPHI THEATRE.

This theatre last night came in for its share of the
rays of Royal influence, the old piece of Sweethearts
and Wives being played to a delighted audience, as
performed recently at the Palace. Of so well-known
a piece—one at which our fathers' sides were wont to
ache when it was the vehicle for the drolleries of Lis-
ton—we need say no more, than that its more modern
rivals
.have not dried up the fountain of humour from
which it was derived, nor removed it from the pale of
fashion.. Mr. Wright, in his performance of Billy
Lackaday, proved that he is, or perhaps more criti-
cally speaking, that he may become the legitimate
successor of one who was wont to set boxes, pit, and
gallery in a roar. The house was crowded.
