THE THEATRES.

THEATRE.—The benefit of Madamoi-
selle NOBLET took place last night. The Opera
was Tancredi, which we have noticed sufficiently,
and need only add that it went off with the
usual success. Madame PASTA and Madame
RONZI DE BEGNIS were the chief vocal props.
A new ballet was brought forward on this occa-
sion, entitled Judis et Ajourd'hui, au les Deux
Tuntes. It would be ridiculous to attempt to

develope the plot. It is sufficient to say that it
was gracefully presented by all the Corps de
Bullet, but particularly by the elegant move-
ments of NOBLET and the singular comic powers
of VENAFRA, both of whom were most deservedly
applauded. An elegant and numerous audience.
ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—Last night con-
cluded the humorous Monologue, in which Mr.
MATHEWS recited his transatlantic trip, and
which was of so diverting a description that we
believe it has exceeded in attraction all his for-
mer efforts of the same nature. In the course
of this entertaining narrative he displayed
the versatility end force of his powers as an
actor, and excited the warm applause of near
the whole people in the Metropolis, duriog
the repetitions of his ludicrous Melange. The
Public will perceive that the active and discern-
ing Proprietor of this elegant and convenient
Theatre has secured the talents of Mr.MATitcws
for his short, hut, we hope, profitable season.—
Mr. MATHEWS, at the close of his entertainment,
addressed the audience in the following manner,
and retired with every testimony of general ap-
probation :-
44 LADIES AND GE} TLE (MCC more taking my
leave of you. for a season, I wish I could think on something to
say which would entitle you to exclaim with our late friend Mr.
Bray," Well, I never heard that before !" but the language
of grateful acknowledgment is soon exhausted, however un-
boundedmay be the feeling that prompts it. To say that lam
proud of your applause, and grateful for your kindness, is a
•c twice told tale, which has been more than thrice repeated ;
but he assured that the undiminished favour I have expe..
ricnced has, year after year, iucr,ascti my anxiety to merit your
smiles, and will leave an indelible recollection on my heart,
when I, and my humble efforts to amuse you, may perhaps be
forgotten.
N'irhile thus encouraged, it would be affectation, if not in-
gratitude, to talk of retiring from public ; while I continue
therefore to receive your approbation, I shall continue my en-
deavours to deserve it, and trust I shall next year be able to

. -
present you with somethiug at least as well deserving your at-
tention as any thing I have heretofore had the pleasure and
honour ofsubmitting to your notice.
" With this hope, am. the gratifying anticipation of soon
mntin,, you again, I most respectfully and cordially bid you
farewell."

TIRE %VIE ROYA L,DU E PATENTEE.)
-Mr. HARRIS, who procured the Patent, from
the supposition that his superior theatrical know.
ledge, and the advantages derivable room his
connection with the Cosent-Carden Man4e-
ment, would afford the Citizens- of Dublin advan-
tages not otherwise derivable, has disposed of
the new Theatre Royal, on a lease of five years,
at the annual sum of five thousand pounds Bri-
tish. An English Company are the lessees, and

we und,rster;cl that Mr. Anna-I'T, of Covent-
Garden, is at the head of the Management.
This is a subject to which we mutt return.—
