THEATRICAL CHIT-CHAT.

CHARLES KEstni.r is not expected to arrive in England
until after the opening of Covent-garden Theatre. The ma-
nagement, however, of that Theatre is most ably sustained
during his absence by that old favourite of the public, Mr.
FAWCETT.

CHARLES liEstnLE, whose assiduity in catering for the gra-
tification of the lovers of the Drama is always on the alert, is
reported to have engaged that eminent French Tragedian
TALJIA, at an enourmous salary, for twelve nights, as an ex-
periment. TALain was born in Dean-street, .Soho, and left
England at a very early age. His pronunciation of his native
language has been considered most perfect.
Miss PaTote and Mr. SINCLAIR are again the Heroine and
the Hero of the musical department at Covent-garden.
ELLISTON has engaged KEAN for twenty-eight nights, at
the enormous salary of 481. per night.
las;rox does not return to Drury-lane during the ensuing
season, and we fear that the new compact, which the proprietors
of the two national Theatres have recently made with each
other, may deprive us of the exercise of his comic talents at
Covent-garden.
The Freiselnaz is not intended for representation at ad
Drury. ELLISTON, however, has secured an Operatic host'
in the persons of Miss STEPHENS, Buanast, and SAVO,
which, for pre-eminent talent, has not been exceeded on the
English stage at any period.
Tom Wer.eit is now in Italy with his pupil, Miss WIL-
SON, where they are expected to remain during •
the winter.
Miss WiLsoN's voice is said to be greatly impeeeed,.and her
taste far more perfect since her stay at Florence and Milan.
In consequence of various improvements connected with
.
Drury-lane Theatre, it is not expected to open until the first
week in October.
The joint Authors of that admirable jet/ d'april the Rekted
Addresses, being both now in England, arc, it is said, engaged
in preparing a very ingenious anti novel publication, which is
likely to appear during the winter.
" The theatre at Sydney appears to be in a very flourishing
state," said a gentleman to Join.: KEMIILE, speaking of the
Botany Bay theatricals. " Yea," replied the tragedian, " the
performers ought to be all good, for they have been selected and
sent to that situation by very excellent Judges."
Qui N thought angling a very barbarous diversion ; and on
being asked why, gave this reason : " Suppose some superior
being should bait a hook with venison, and go a Quinning, I
should certainly bite, and what a sight and a sufferer should I
be dangling in the air l"

We take the earliest opportunity of correcting
the various errors and contradicting the false-
hoods which appeared yesterday respecting Mr.
SAMUEL 13AsirouoAmEit on the case of "Mr.
FAUNTLEROY." This we do as an act of justice
to Mr. HAMER, whose character would other-
wise be •affected by the observations which we
copied from The Times. We are confidently
assured that Mr. HAMER NEVER called at the
prison, or desired to be INTRODUCED to Mr.
FAUNTLEROY. It is true Mr. 11 AMER opened an
account with Messrs.MARSII and Co. in July last,
hut NEVER DREW OUT TILE MONUY either in a few
days, or at all,
that Gentleman having uufortu-
nately st ill some money and securities in their hands.
Mr. 1I AMER never applied to Mr. FAUNTLEROY,
or to any other person connected with that bank-
ing.house, to discount either for himself or any
other person any bills or notes whatever; nor had
he even any conversation with Mr. FAUNTLEROY,
except on the occasion of his first introduc-
tion to the house of MARSH and Co., when
he originally opened an account with them.
The satisfaction diffused in Mr. SPISWRIGIIT'S
Contracts, incon testi bly proved

as they may justly observe their principles are
judiciously adopted and copied by others, viz.

somebody is sure to gain, whilst every Purchaser
IS sure to get back R 5. per Ticket at least,
