THE THEATRE.

Covzwr-GAnDLN.---- The Managers of this
Theatre, in clue homage to our great dramatic
Bard, commenced the season last night with the
tragedy of Julius Cwsar. Mr. WARDE, who a
few seasons ago was the chief serious actor at the
Haymarket Theatre, came forward in the cha-
racter of Brutus. Mr. WAnnE possesses a good
figure, and altogether an agreeable person. His
face is regular, and well calculated to express
graver emotions. His voice is clear, and his
articulation distinct and impressive. His deport-
ment, so far as the character of Brutus requires,
was easy and appropriate. lle has evidently int-
proved by his secession from the London boards,
and possesses talents that; as far as we could
venture to judge front his performance last night,
which must certainly have been attended with some
degree of apprehension, entitle him to a respect-
able station on a Winter Stage in the Metropolis.
There is a grave dignity in his manner which
well becomes the part of Brutus. He was re-
ceived with the usual kindness of a British
audience, and some of his injudicious admirers
or friends attempted to practice the trick adopt-
ed by KEAN'S besotted partisans, of calling for
him to announce the next performance. This
senseless clamour, insulting to the other per,
formers, was, however, overborne by the good
sense of the audience in general. Mr. C. LEMaLE
was received with peculiar and vehement ap.
plause on his entrance in Mark Anthony, a cha-
racter which he has obviously studied with criti-
cal attention, and which he represents with ad-
mirable spirit, judgment, and feeling. Mr.
COOPER gave the impetuous Cassius in due con-
trast, as the Author intended, with the
temperate and philosophic dignity of Brutus.
The angry Cusca wait prominently excellent in
the performance of Mr. FAWCETT, and the ve-
teran had a very gratifying proof of popular fa-
vour on his entrance. The little, but interesting
part of Portia, received due justice from Mrs.
BARTLEY. The Theatre has been beautified in
all its ornamental parts. The audience were re-
freshed by the appearance of the traditional
green curtain, which, we hope, will retain its
original station. A new drop curtain, admirably
painted by GRIEVE and sons, received the stamp
of just and general approbation from a ♦ery nu-
merous audience. The Afterpiece was The Rams-
bottoms at Rheims, or the Coronation of Charles
the Tenth, which si,as given in all its former
splendour.

On Saturday last, the Marquis of ITEturroan
was elected Recorder of Coventry, on the demise of the late
WILLIAM Earl of CRAVEN. The Election of the Noble
Marquis to the Recordership had not only the unanimous voice
of the Corporation, but has afforded universal gratification to
the inhabitants of the City and County.
We are sincerely sorry to announce the death
of the late Lady SARAH DE CRESPIGNT, who
died on Thursday last, after a most prolonged
illness, at Sir WILLIAM DE CRESPIGNY'S seat,
Rhosdyon Tower, Carmarthenshire, in the bosom
of her afflicted family. She was the daughter
Of OTHER-LEWIS WINDSOR, Earl of PLYMOUTH,
and CATHERINE, daughter of TllomAs, Lord
ARCHER.
