The KING'S THEATRE has lenity been trans-
ferred into now hands, and prepariations nro
making to open it with splendour. It is but jus-
tice to Mr. Eacas to acknowledge, that he cou-

ducted it with spirit and liberality. The cap.
tious complaints that he did not expend money in
mere embellishment of the Theatre, were the off-
spring of private pique. Ile supplied a good
vocal company, and an ample and excellent Copps
de Bullet. The public were satiofied, and have
only to wish that the establishment may hereafter
be as well conducted.

The Melo-drame of Malabo, Me Destroyer,
taken from SOUTHEY'S interesting Poem, has
been very attractive at the ROYAL COBURG
THEATRE. AMMO the higher visitors we have
noticed the following, who were highly gratified
by the performance : Lord Selsey, Sir R.
Gressley, lion. Mrs. Bradshaw, Lord F.
Conyngham, Lady Mac Farlane, Lady Astley.
Lady Thurlow, Lady Baker, Lady Paul, Hon.
Mr. Byng, Lady E. Monk. The external regu-
lation of the Theatre is under the direction of
Mr. Bowes, whose dilig:nce and courtesy en-
title him to approbation and respect.
MGHENRY JOHNSTON has opened the Theatre
at Mr. Mrs. DAVISON is at present among his
Performers.

Miss TREE has been very attractive at the
Edinburgh Theatre, where she is still perform.
ing, and is much admired as an actress, as well
as a first-rate singer.
MATHEWS, it is said, has brought back a
Budget of American Oddities, which in due time
will probably be submitted to the public. Ile is
a shrewd observer of all peculiarities, and he
brings them forward with singular precision, in.
genuity, and effect.
Miss Wu.sor,T, who came forward with so
much eclat at Drury-Lane Theatre, and whose
musical powers have been exerted with great
success in various parts of the Kingdom, is about
to quit this country, in order to improve herself
in Italy. Her character is so amiable, and her
conduct has been so proper, that, with such ex.
traordinary vocal talents, she is sure of exciting
esteem and admiration wherever she may so-,
journ. Her sister is to accompany her, and her
preceptor, Mr. T. WEr,sit, is to follow as soon
as his engagements here will permit. Ile and
Mr. liAwEa are now the sole proprietors of the
Argyll Establishment, and during his absence
it may,safely be entrusted to the judgment) at-
tention, and integrity of the latter.

• THE GENIUS OF
Sleep and Sdence•wrag the earth,
Hush's' is every voice Of_ mirth.;
Labour's daily task is done,
'the weary rustic home has goner
' - And from the hamlet riot a sound
Breaks the hallowed peace arognd.
Even in the lordly banquet ban
'Tis darkness now, and Stillness all;
The guesti have left: the daiice and feast, •
The music's sprightly tones have ceas:d,
And not a taper's glimmering light
Disturbs the solemn reign of night.
To the sleeping world descending;
See a fairy form is bending; -
It sails upon the fleecy elotids,
Whose vaponry mist its heautY• Abrotbc:
:A wand, enrich'd with gems of light,
.• Is pendant from its girdle bright;
In its hand two charmed wreaths,
One of flow'rs, whose scented breaths
And rainbow 'beauties far ,outvie
The fairest seen by mortal eye:
. The other wreath all dark appears,
Of Cypress tWin'd, and bath's! in tears. •
tipirtt% descend! I know thee nows,
I know thee by thy shaded brow
• And, changing Cheek, on which is wrought
Etseh image of thy varying thonght
Yes, thou art he whose shadowy beam
• Illumes the sleeper's vision'd stream,
When, from its every. fetter free,
, 'The wand'ring Soul ti led by thee.
IF,tntastie guide !--who would not lave
.For ever by thy, side to rove ?
Who'would not quit a world like this
For thy bright realm of bliss;
-And leave behind them, as they fly,
Life and its, dull reality ?
One touch of thine enchanted wand
Transports us to adistant lands—..
Unites the ties that Fate would sever,
Recals the joyi now gone for suer.
Thy rosy wreath of fairy flosters'
• , ltrin,gx back the light of happy.hours,
And throws its warm and glowing ray
On Sorrow's cold and cloudy way.
But oh their hopeless heart must pine
Who wear that starker wreath of thine !
Beneath its sad and baleful shade
'their blooming hopes must droop and fade.
The world has many toils and cares,
But none so keenly felt as their's.
O'er long past scenes of Fief and pain
'time draws its veiling cloud in Valli ;
Thy potent spell can each renew,
And give to each a deeper hue ;
eau wring the heart with anguish torn,
By cold neglect and cutting scorn,
'n til, oppressed almost to breaking,
Thou leavist it no relief but—waking! ,
