THE THEATRES.

DRURYZANE.--Mrs. WEST last night per-
formed the part of lielvidera for her own benefit.
She is deservedly a favourite actress, and the nu-
merous audience which attended is a proof that
her character is esteemed, as ►ell as that her
talents are admired. She gave a very powerful ef-
fect to the part, and the play was additionally
well supported by the Jajlier of KEAN, and the
Pierre of YOUNG. The farce was Blue Devils,
and Messrs. Euarrox and KNIGHT, and Mrs.
DAVISON, seemed to exert themselves with more
than ordinary zeal in the cause olikaair orna.
meat of their community.
HAvstAtmET.—To this elegant and convenient
Theatre we may apply the phrase Vires acquirit
eundo, for its attraction appears to increase every
night. Last evening the lively comedy, approach.
ing, however, rather near to farce, She Stoops,to
Conquer, was represented with great spirit.
Cooeut, who deservedly improves in public fa-
your, was the Young Marlore, and ho pe.rformed
the part with so much spirit, that we wish to see
him repeat it. TERRY was excellent in Bard.
castle, and Mrs. CHATTERLEY very lively in
Miss Hardcastle. LISTON'S Tony Lumpkin was the
most diverting since the days of QUICK, one of
the very best comedians within our remembrance.
Miss BOYCE, though hardly sufficiently juvenile
in appearance for Miss Neville, supported the part
with good sense and feeling. The Spoiled Child
preceded, and 'Miss S. Boom's Little Pickle, in
point, sprightliness, and humour, was all that the
character required, and excited great and warm
applause throughout this humorous farce. The
last piece was the new and very diverting farce
of Mrs. Smith, which is now fully established in
public favour.

THE DRASIA.—A new Comedy, frofn the pen
of Mr. KENNY was read in the Green-room of
the Haymarket Theatre on Thursday. The play
is said to possess much intrinsic merit; and if so,
its success must be certain, as the characters
will combine the talents of LISTON, TEIIIIY,
DiVIRS (who performed Macheath last
season), Mrs. VESTRIS, Miss LOVE, and Miss
CHErrsa, all of whom are stated to be pleased
with their respective allotments.
