THE THEATRE.

The gloomy Tragedy of The llerenge, one of
the heaviest dramas of the English Stage, with
more of bombast
,than of poetry, was represented,
last. night at Drury-lane Theatre,•and was, in ge-
ireral',.. well supported by. the performers. KEAN
was the Zanga, and, in our opinion, it is one of
his he,t efforts he was at dines too violent in the
exr-resSion of single words in, some of the soli-
lOquirS, but he was attentive and energetic
throughout, and particularly in the last scene.
-RAE displayed a considerable degree of me-
rit in .1lonzo; and Mrs. BARTLEY deserves credit
for 'taking the character of Leonora. After
this most melancholy Play, a new Farce Was
brought forward, •under the title of Twenty per
cent The plot, in s‘v tie measure, resembles GAR-
LUCK'S Lying Valet. Young- Dunsford (BARNARD.),
like Gayless, is much involved debt, anol is
afraid of his creditors. His servant Timothy (HAR-
LEY), like Sharp, is a ettnniug fellow, full of ex-
pedients to save his master's credit. Lady Emily
(Mrs. c)RGxti) 'is, like Melissa, in love with t is
spendthrift ; and Fanny (Miss KELLy) is nearly
anothkr Kitty Pry, though tA ith out the
gree of ingnisitive persecution. It is hardly neces-
sary to enter into the fable any further than to
say, that a creditor, in order to get his money,
pr,,tends to the Lady to be father of time dissip tied
hero of the piece, . toil that the real father of the
hero passes himself off as the father of the he-
roine, in order to perplex his son and Make hint
sensible of the folly Of his conduct. Some ludi-
crous 'equivoque and embarrassment arise from this
double assumption. At length the parties. ac-
'cording to the old dramatic receipt, are permitted
to marry, and the piece ends happily. " The nr-
f,untent has no offence in it," but has no solid sup-
port of wit or huinonr. It will. however, pass
muster. The house was crowded.

FESTI7ITIES.— Yesterdhy the ijoab
Mav'ort elect Went irons Guildhall., attended by
the Aldermen and City Officers, to the Loan
CHANCELLOR, to 'receive the PRINCE REGENT'S
approbation of the 'choice of the Livery of Lon-
don as their Chief Ala!;istrate.• • The Sheriffs
went in 'state to invite the Art hdukes JOHN and
LF.wt=, and the Dukes of KENT', •;I;sSEX, and
GLOUCESTER, and all the Cabinet 11Iinistrs, to
'dine at Guildhall, on the qth inst. In the even:-
ing there was a trial of tire gas-lights in the
Guildhall: the two painted windows wete iiiu-
nrioatco with 100 gas-lights to eachi on the
outside the hall had Gothic lamps suspended from
the ceding, and a number of chandeliers hanging
in different parts of it. The whole of this im-
mense building will be light9d with gas.
On Wednesday her Royal Highness the Duchess.
of CUMBERLAND, the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and
a foreign Lady Of distinction, made Jr visit to
Westminster Abbey. The Royal Duchess saw,
for the first time, that venerable structure, a4-id
was struck by its various features of greatness.--,-
Front,t he Abbey the Royal Party proceeded to the
Utilise of Lords, which they entered by the'grand
doOrs. The Duchess having minutely inspected
the-,Chamber of Peers, and. the aparttuents adjoin-
ing,' next went into the House of Commons., Air.
BELLAMY, the housekeeper, acting. as conductor,
described every object worthy attention, and her
Royal Highness appeared to listen with great at-
tention to all the details.

A Naval Officer at an ordinary the other day,
asking for his bill, found it amounted to six shit-
linos he iwwedi►►teLy threw down three, upon
which the waiter civilly reminded him that it was
