THE THEATRES.

DRURY.LANE.—The well-known drama of
Pizarro was last night represeuted at this The-
atre. Mr. WALLACK again appeared in the part
of Rolla. He is an actor of feeling and judgment,

and he acquitted himself very well.—The After-
piece was the MeloArame of Valentine and
Orson, so familiar and so dear to our earlier
days. It had the advantage of appropriate mu-
sic, from Monsieur Jouve, and such magnificent
scenery.,. that, with the bustle and variety of the
action, it excited -the applause ofil- numerous
audience.

CovENT-GARDEN.---That admirable historical.
Play, one of the chief productiOni Of our great
Bard, Julius Ccesar, drew a numerous •audienee
last night:. -Mr. WR ADEI
imore Mellowed, to
the technical term, in Brutus, and sustained it
with temperate dignity..
.The fiery Cassius and
the surly Costa had all due support froni Messrs.
COOPER and FAVICETT;and Mr. C. KEMBLE refl.!
dered ample justice. to the eloquent and affec:
donate-. Nark- .Anthony.
. Aner,rni-TH calla.—This Theatre opened for
the season last night, under"the new 'Proprietors,
Messrs. TERRY and YATES, and, judging from
the crowded audience which attended on this
Occasion, with most . promising omens of future
success. On the first rising of the curtain, the
new Proprietors and, a very numerous band of
Performers appeared on the stage. " God
.save the King" was sung by the .Whole, and
was : unanimously encored. The first piece,
entitled "- The Opening Night;'!". consisted
of a humorous prelUde, representing the einbar•
rassments of the Managers on account of -the in-
numerable applications which were made to them
from Actors, ActreiSes, and Authors. The au-
dience had - then -a peep into the .Green-roorn.
There were some 'allies of humour, strokes of sa-
tire, and tolerable piths in this piece, in -which a
very favourable tribute to the. general efficacy of
the PUBLiC Pitass was also introduced. It was
marked by liberal spirit, and was totally exempt
from all appearance of interested servility. It
was well-written, and well-delivered by lkic.
TERRY. ' This piece was much applauded, and
was followed by-a new drama entitled Killigrew,
or, King Charles at Tonbridge The plot
of this piece is said to be foultled on facts report-
ed in a secret history-of the .period in. which the
events are supposed to have taken place. If
there was not much
.to gratify the'refined critic
in the fable or the dialogue, it. had generally good
support from the Performers, and is very well
calculated' to please a mixed audience, such as is
alerays to-be found among the frequenters of the.
lofty Patent Theatres, as well as in those of the
minor :description. This- Piece was .also .sup-
ported by general good acting, but particularly
that of 'fealty and YAW. .'An Entertainment
followed this:Piece, consioing of Music, Dancing,
and Acting, entitled The Festival of Olympus
and the Power ofLove, of,the nature of t l tell/a:quer
of forrper times. This Entertainment was also very
Well received,aud had the support otverysplendid
scenery and appropriate dresses, &c. ticc. The
concluding drama was the humorous burletta of
No :Dinner Yet, of which Mr. Wartsca was .the.
hero, and displayed all his indefatigable humour
and spirit. Much allowance ought to be,made for
the new Proprietors of a new undertaking, for
which they had to-provide numerous and various
adherents, to prepare drannitic. novelties, to regu-
late scenery, and preside over decorations of,the
edifice, and numberless -other labours, bu.t the
whole of the entertainments of last night were
much better arranged, and more successfully exe-
cuted than could reasonably be. expected. The
, interior of the Theatre is embellished with great
taste, elegance, and beauty, and Asa is of that
best and most convenient size which enables
the audience to -see, hear, and discriminate,
it is just such a Theatre as the Public
have long wanted , and
.af the new Conductors
have embarked- in the enterprise with zeal, li-
berality, and a fair proportion of general abilities
besides their , own well-known and admired
talents, we heartily wish.-that. their efforts may
' be amply rewarded by -public and persevering
patronage.
