THE THEATRES.

KING'S THEATIt II consequence of the sud-
deu indisposition of Madame PASTA, the Opera
La Donna del Logo was represented last night
instead of Semiramide, which had been announced.
It did not appear to the RUdienCe that due notice
had been given of the unavoidable change, and
therefore after a call for the Manager, without
seeress, Madame RoNzt at BUGN IS came for-
ward as Ellena, but though she is deservedly so
great a favourite, she experienced an indifferent
reception. At length Mr. BEN ELIA appeared,
and stated that Signor ROSSINI, who had been pro-
mised to superintend the performance could not
appear, but was not permitted to state also that no-
tice had actually been given by a printed paperof
the reason of the change, and he was obliged to
retire. Madame Dr ihorits then came forward
again, and by the beauty of her person, the
charm of her voice, and the excellence of her
acting, not only allayed the storm, but converted
hostility into pleasure and applause. The substi-
tuted Opera then proceeded without farther in-
terruption, and with its usual success.
DRU R N E.—The Poor Gentleman was re-
presented at this Theatre last night, but though
Madame CATA LANI was announced to sing during
the intervals, there was by no means .a very nu-
merous audience. The Manager therefore may
see the impolicy of excluding the persons to
whom the free list had been extended. They
probably would not have amounted to any
considerable number, and, if admitted, would
have given, what is always requisite, a good ap-
pearance 'to the house. The exclusion is not
consistent n ith liberality as Well as common
policy, and we are surprised that the :Manager
should have adopted so disgusting a regulation.
CATALAN', however, was received with due ap-
plause, and she delighted the audience with an
Italian air, with Sweet Rome, God save the King,
and Rule Britannia. We are sorry to observe
that this, we believe, is the only Theatre that
has thought such an invidious regulailon expe.
dient, or likely to pass without indignation or
contempt.

II A YMA RE ET.—The return of Miss PATON, last
night, as Susanna, ht 7'he Marriage of Figaro,
was greeted by a numerous audience. She sung
with all her usual excellence, and performed the
part with great spirit. WI LICINSON, for the first
time, played the Drunken Gardener. There is
an original quaintness and simplicity in this Actor
that
.renders him a favourite. LISTON'S Figaro
was as ludicrous as ever,and Mrs. Cil ATT VALLEY'S
P iI4C not defective in archness and humour.
EN LISII OPER A Ilovsr..—The new Piece of
Military Tactic: .WAS followed, last night, by the
more diverting but extravagant Farce of Free and
Easy, which was admirably performed, and of
course highly applauded. The parts of Sir John
Freeman, by W R ENO', Courthw by BAnTLLY,
and Gertrude by Miss liut.t.v, could not be sup-
ported with more ability or with better effect.

EDINBURGH CRITICISM.—Miss ST,EPICENS con-
tinues to delight the public of 'Edinburgh. In
the Marriage of Figaro and No Song no Sapper,
on Thursday evening, she was exceedingly jute-
teresting ; and, from the manner in nhich she
gave " Nid Noddin," she Ives hailed nth shouts
of applause. In the first edition of the song she
was witchingly simple ; in the second edition, she
was irresistibly arch ; iu the third edition, for it
was encored and encored—she was—Miss STE-
PHENS, and we cannot, say more.,

GAUGE MR. W. 116.ROSIWSON.—After the con-
clusion of the last trial of this tientleman, Mr. A BRAM sms,
his employer, had an interview with Alr. Justice (iszEt.rvt,

and gave Mr. Abrahams a letter to Mr„Juatice n urrough, who
tried the 'case of which he was found guilty, Informing the
Learned Judge of the result of the other trials.. Mr. Abrahams
immediately proceeded post to the country-seat of the Learned
Judge, with whom he obtained an interview, and who wrote a
letter to the Recorder (with which Mr. Abrahams immediately
returned to town) requesting he would not pass sentence on
Mr. Robinson yesterday, but wait until he arrived in town,
when he would take the necessary measures to obtain the re-
lease of Mr. Robinson. The Jury who tried the came have also
expressed their readiness to sign a petition to his Majesty to
