WESTMINSTER PLAY.

The Queen's scholars were last night honoured by
tho presence of his Royal Highness Prince Albert at
the. fourth representation of the Adelphi. The Prince
and suite arrived at the College a little bef6re seven,
and were received by the Very Rev. the Dean, the Rev.
the 11ead Master, the Under Master, and the official per-
sons of the College. An awning of canvass had been
previously erected, extending from the street to the
great gate of the College, for the purpose of shielding
the royal visitor from the rain and other inclemencies
of the weather. His Royal Highness, conducted by
the Dean and Head Master, proceeded at once to the
theatre, when the band played the National Anthem,
and the company evinced their delight by much
clipping of hands.

The prologue originally delivered was laid aside
for one more appropriate to the occasion. The allu-
sions it contains to the royal visit, as well as to the
munificent donation of her Majesty, for the decoration
and restoration of the College, were loudly applauded.
It was well delivered by Mr. H. Vaughan Williams;
and a discerning audience of Old Westminsters
evinced throughout, in the most hearty manner, their
ready appreciation of the merit of the performance.
The play, which has been already noticed in this
paper, it is not necessary to advert to, further than
that it was enacted with great carefulness.

The epilogue, as we have before stated, represents
an election scene, wherein all the striking peculiari-
ties of these very important proceedings are cleverly
seized and sharply satirised. The hits at Pelides and
libera commercia were received with great laughter,
in which his Royal Highness seemed most heartily
to join.

At the conclusion of the performances the national
anthem—breaking in immediately after the " Vivant
Regina et Princeps"—w•as again played. His Royal
Highness, shortly after, was re-conducted by the
Deans, Canons, and Masters, to the Deanery. His
Royal Highness was attended by the Marquis of
Abercorn, Viscount Strangford, Colonel Phipps, and
Colonel Bouverie.

Amongst the company present were Mr. Justice
Erle, Mr. Justice Williams, Archdeacon Hale, the
Rev. the Principal of the King's College, London, and
many members of the Universities.
