THEATRICAL. CHIT CHAT.

Although Mr. ELLISTON does not intend to
produce Der Ft-else/wiz at Drury-lane Theatre, he is preparing
for representation another Opera, by WEnER, upon a scale of
great expence. Miss STEPHENS, Ilaanwar, and &trio, are
to sustain the principal characters.
We understand the report that LIsTON intends to retire
from the stage at the conclusion of his engagement at the Hay-
market Theatre is not true. During the summer months
Ilarrox's professional duties have been most severe, anti, at
the close of the season, it may be necessary he should rusticate
for a period, in order to renovate his health ; but we are as-
sured this comedian, the most original, perhaps, that ever
lived, will again return to the stage.
Mrs. CHARLES KF.MBLE, and hor amiable family, were at
Weybridge, during:Mr. KEMBEE'S absence on the Continent.
Mr. BEMIILE is reported to have levied contributions both in
France and in Germany during his professional trip, for the
gratification of the play-going people.
Among the improvements at the Adelphi Theatre, a dress
circle has been formed, and the whole Theatre has been re.
embellished on a most expensive scale. It opens for the season
on the 11th of October.
Never was so much wealth shared by the actors at one time
RS in the present day. BANNISTER, JOHNSTONE, MUNDEN,
111.111 AW, 13L.Eizli UN, KLAN, MATHEWS,
YOUNG, LISTON, MACREADY, Mrs. SIDDONS, and Miss
STEPHENS, are all supposed to have accumulated fortunes,
and to be able to retire to their Tusculum, to enjoy ease and in-
dependence.
On Friday night, during the performance of Is he Jealous
at the English Opera-house, an individual in the side boxes,
in the midst of the laughter excited by the admirable per-
formance of Miss KELLY and WRENCH, forgot to take care of
his hat, and it fell into the pit. The moment he perceived the
serious lost which he had sustained, considering generosity in
Cult instance to be true policy, he called out aloud, " I will
give sixpence to any gentleman who will bring up my hat."
Such, however, is the state of affluence to which the country
has arrived, that no gentleman sought to avail himself of this
silver opportunity, and the owner of the hat was obliged to go
down for it himself.
SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 2.l—Miss M. TREE, of Covent.
garden Theatre, arrived here on Monday, under an engage-
ment to play four nights at our Theatre. She played at Man-
chester on Saturday evening, and, travelling during almost the
whole interval, arrived here only two hours before she was to
appear on the stage. In consequence, no doubt, of such great
exertions, she was taken very ill on Wednesday with a spitting
of blood, &c., which, to the great regret of her numerous
admirers, has disqualified her from acting here any more this
season.
