TZE LYCEVZ,I.--The Drury Lane Company, with
the addition of, a few
Performers belonging to Mr.
ARNOLD'S Summer Corps, began their operations
for the Season last night, at this-Theatre. A spe-
cial license for this purpose, has been granted by the
LORD CHAMBERLAIN; as the advertisements 51,1:e,
" to the joint application of all parties principally in-
terested." This liCense, it seems, is to be exercised
under the grin of Messrs. ARNOLD, GREVILLE, and
the Trustees of Drury-Line Theatre. Mr. SHERI-
DAN, we are assured, has declined all Participation
in the eventual profits of the concern, and Mrs.
ktbfiAnipsoN, the other Proprietor of the Patent,
has followed his example, though her.situaC7n will
unfortunately less admit ofsuch a liberal forbearance.
The entertaintrienta oflast. night were the excellent'
Opera of The Duenna, and the Farce of The .111-ay.r.
of Garratt. The chief variation in the representa-
tion of the former piece from what it was during the
Summer season, was Isaac- Mendoza, by DoWTON,
who is an admirable actor, and who rendered the
eikaratler very entertaining., Mts. BI5II0k; took the
part of Clara, in the absence of Mrs. Moux-rarrz,
and sung the airs with great taste and expression.—
She-is obviously an improving actress. The house
was tolerably well attended. A fellow in the galle-
y, who seemed disposed to transfer the riotous im-
pulse which prevailed.at Covent Garden to the "LT-
eutn, held forth a placard similar to those which
,appeared at .the former place, but the audience in-
Oignantly.' rejected such an attempt to disturb the
general t ranquilith aad cmpelled biro icninvdiate,l7-
io Withdraw it.
