THE THEATRI.

DEUR Y-LANE.-The admirable Comedy of The
School for Scandal introduced Miss WALsTels,
last night, in the part of Lady Teazle. We before
observed that this Actress has evidently made a
strong impression on the public, and the nume-
rous audience which attended last night, is a
proof of her attraction. There have been so many
representatives of this part, from the original
Mrs. ABINGDON, by the chief Actresses since that
period, that a great share of comic ability is re-
quisite to render it very striking and impressive.
Miss WALSTEIN has no great reason to dread a
comparison with her predecessors. She was easy,
playful, and spirited, • in all the gayer scenes, and
gave some affecting touches of the pathetic .kind,
when she is discovered in her visit to, Joseph
Surface. Miss WALSTEI N possesses one merit,
which, though of the negative kind, is almost
peculiarly her own : she is exempt from affecta-,
tion, a fault too prevalent among the theatrical
sisterhood. Her chief error last night was what
JUNIUS calls the indefatigable smile." Her fea-
tures, except in the passages of dejected self-,re-
proach, which we have noticed, were always
Moulded into the- expression which we have men-
tioned. She should recollect a couplet in Pore :
" -Eternal smiles his emptiness betray,
" As shallow streams run dippling all the way."
And indeed she should remember what Lady
Teazle says of Lady Simper, who is always
smiling to shew her teeth. ELLISTON was some-
what too elaborate in Joseph, and-RAE not suffi-
ciently careless and easy in Charles. \\TROUGH -
TON, considering_ that he is such an experienced
veteran, should not in Sir Peter have addressed
his soliloquies so directly to the audience.

THE IRISH MANAGER.--7-It is not surprising that
after the severe injury which Mr. JoNgs suffered
in the recent destruction of his property, besides
the furious libels ma his character, be should have
transferred it, in disgust, to other hands, parti-
cularly as on a former occasion, .when he had
taken in custody four persons, above the middle
r►►nk, for outrages of the same nature, though not
to equal extent, instead of proceding against them
according to law, he was obliged to apologise to
them in-prison before they would condescend to
be released. There was a fifth Gentleman to whom
he would not apologise, because he had act►►ally.
seen him destroying the property. This Gentle-
man told Mr. JoNgs that if he would not apologise
he must fight, and the next morning absolutely
sent to_him a challenge.

BIUGMON, JAN. 3.

The PRINCE REGENT had a select dinner party
yesterday, including the Duke of CLARENCE ; and
in the evening there was a concert. On Saturday
next a numerous but select party of Nobility will
dine with the PRINCE REGENT, at the Pavilion,
in celebration of the natal clay of the Princess
CHARLOTTE, and, it is likely, that a ball in the
evening will. follow. _ _

It is understood that it is the intention of the
PRINCE REGENT not to remove from hence until
about the 18th. His Royal Highness was on
horseback to-day and yesterday, for a consider-
able time, before dinner.
During the progress of the PRINCE REGENT to this place on
Saturday, Charles Maxwell, one of his Royal Highness's ser-
vants, was considerably hurt by the falling of his horse, near
Crawley. This accident detained the Prince on the road full
20 minutes, as his Royal Highness declined leaving Cra*ley
until a competent surgeon had been procured, and every pro-
pel assistance obtained. Maxwell, however, was well euvugh
to travel to this place on the following day.
