THE- THEATRES.

DRURY•LANE.—The First Part of Henry the
Fourth was the attraction last night, and ELLts-
TO N'S Prince. of Ifales; W ALLACICS Hotspur, and
DOWTON'S Falstaff, were again deservedly ap-
plauded by a numerous audience.

CovENT•GARDEN.—This Theatre also last
night borrowed from the matchless stores of
Sli AKF.SPEA 11E. Mr. C. K EMIILE, by much the
best Romeo now on the Stage, performed the
character last night with unabated truth, spirit,
and feeling. Miss F. H. KELLY, who made such
a successful impression on the audience last sea-
son, at this Theatre, in the character of Juliet,
resumed that character last night,. and was not
less successful. There were fire, and sensibility in
her performance altogether, and in some passages
she displayed great energy. She was received in a
very favourable manlier. JONES gave all his wonted.
spirit to Mercutio, and the tragedy was heard
with sympathetic attention.

ADELPIII THEATIIE.—This very convenient and
agreeable Theatre opened for the season last
night, and was well attended. When the curtain
was first drawn up the performers appeared, and
gave God save the King with great zeal. The first
piece was entitled, The Prince and the Player.
We have not room to detail the plot, but we
may jnstly say that it was well supported by
WRENCH, Mr. JOHN REEVE, Miss PITT, and her
sister, Mrs. WILKINS. There are some amusing
perplexities in the piece, and it was well received.
The second piece, entitled Dancing Mad, consists
wholly of dancing. The gentlemen and ladies
dance, and the footman, in attending the tea-table,
dances in handing all the requisite materials, danc-
ing as he delivers them, and at last dances all the
china upon the floor. This piece, we understand,
was transferred from the French stage ; we must
not of course say translated, as it is wholly dumb
ahem ; but we may fairly question whether it
could be better performed. The first act, a
pastoral Pas de Deux, was well performed by
Mr. W. KIRBY and Mademoiselle MARCIA.
Mrs. SEARLE (late Miss Gruoux) introduced
the skipping-rope dance, and was much applaud-
ed: This Act went off very well. The second
act was a splendid contrast, with Turkish cos-
tume; the same performers, with the addition of
ST. ALBIN, were equally successful. The last
piece was a. very humorous farce, entitled A
Matter of Doubt, or, Seven Years Since. This
farce is highly diverting : The chief performers
were Mr. Lae, the Stage Manager, and Mr. Wit.-
'xisisim. Mr. Leg is an actor that would do credit
to patentee boards. We well remember the ad-
mirable manner in which he represented the igno-
rant Mayor lir the Drama of Rochester at the
Olympic Theatre. He supported his character last
night withgood sense, manly ease, and firmness.
The humour and siniple nature of WILKINSON'S
acting are well-known. The plot is founded on the
long absence and altered person of the master(Lze)
and the. servant, (WILKINsoN) imposed on by an
anonymous letter, to try his fidelity, takes the
former for a robber, and admirably represents the
terror which the trick occasions. Both characters
wero4,ery well supported, and the Farce itself
is very humorous and entertaining. It was re-
ceived, as it deserved, with universal applause.

The -French merchants are loud in their com-
plaints that the chief products of France, oil and
wine, are wholly interdicted in the Netherlands,
This trade was wont to be carried on to a consi-
derable extent, In the course of the last year
'only (18'2'2) from the port of Dunkirk alone
10,735 hhds. of wine were shipped off for various
ports of the Netherlands.
A letter from Trieste, dated the 13th ult.,
says, it was understood that some rich commer-
cial houses had come under great advauces, with
a view to enable the Greek fleet to put to sea -in
a more powerful and effective state than ever.—
'Sanguine hopes are entertained (and indeed all
accounts from the Levant go far towards a war-
ranty of the anticipation) that an end is fast ap-
proaching to the cruel despotism of the Turks.—
The commercial letters from Venice describe
their intercourse with the ports of the Levant as
growing daily more limited, owing to the great
stagnation of trade.
On the eoilt August a dreadful conflagration
broke out in the village of Monasterzyska, in

gazine. The entire loss is estimated at 300,000
florins, about 80,0001. sterling.---(Vienna Paper.)
