TH E EATR GLOVE R made her si

appearance last night at Drury-Lane Theatre,
the charadetof Clarinda in The Suspicious HusbO'd
It iacharaner in_ which her spirit and vivaicitifil
have before been witnessed by the Public, 0"
which that spirit and vivacity were fully exert .%
last night. DWYE R performed Ranger-with V.s
same bustle and animation which appeared in
Il 'll
thatir. If his gaiety is somewhat too exuberant'
it is the exuberance of genius, which time ancces're
petience will 'educe within a 'proper limit.
wish there were a little more of the same antra„
tion among his competitors. PowELL, who is 11,.
ways a very respe(table Performer, made the chara:;
ter of Strickland more than usually •prominent iE
the piece. Mrs. ANSELL performed the part or
Mrs. Strickland. Her talents are much fitter I°c
•Tragedy, and she wants that easy deportmen
which is necessary for charaEters of ordinary life'
His MAJESTY ordered the Manager of the 011'
mond Theatre to be presented with Fifty Guineas'
the night the Royal Family' visited the Theatre,
consequence of the expence incurred in ereMngarl.l;
embellishing the Royal box. HER MAJEsI;O
dripped a diamond pin in the boxes, and one of r`a
PRINCESSES a diamond bracelet, which were foil,
by the housekeeper and returned, who was liberaiq
rewarded for her honesty.
As the Managers of Drury-lane Theatre are
bringing forward old Dramatic Pieces, it would
perhaps be worth their while to revive Every Ai,,6
his Humour. POPE, we conceive, might pr°,•
a tolerable Kitely; PALMER a good Robadil ; BAP:
NisTER, a pleasant Bra/if-quo:At ; and CoL1,114;
most probably, an exquisite Master Sopißst, it
a fine old Comedy, and was once very attradive
that Theatre.

The new Opera of Family Quarrels, whichplirs
DIN has prepared for Covent Garden Theatre)
soon to follow REYNOLDS'S Comedy. The 0r.11:
Composers who united their powers in The Clic,
net, are to provide the Music for Family e,ey
rels, and we hope that they will preserve haro-1-
among the-vise/yes.
It is a tradition in Dramatic History, that 5t4^5,,5;
se CARE wrote The Merry Wive; of It indor,
command of QUE EN ELIZABETH, in order that et
Majesty might see Falstaff in love. This seemso
be an improbable story. Why should the Queleo
wish particularly to see Falstaf enslaved by
amorous Deity ? But if the tradition be well-fou
ed, SHAKESPEARE has not complied with Her Ma-
jesty's desire, for Fahtaf is not in love with 6040
of the Merry Wives. He is betrayed by his °``'
vanity into a belief that they love him, and he col',
mences gallant from interested motives, merely, a,'
he himself says, because he " tpiei EntertaittMent'
STErFIEN KEMBLE was to perform again last
night at Richmond. The success of his
has been so great, that he will, perhaps,
follow the
example of Quirt, and make an annual visit_
London for the purpose of performing that charadeoir,
The persevering and malignant attacks UP3
KEMBLE during his absence on the Continent, Ir'
,ed to
very contemptible Morning Paper, seem inteno
e;traCl from that Gentleman a 'little of his SPaifiejt
Drury-Lane may do for a while without the grbut
to
support of JOILN KEMBLE and Mrs. Sinvoto, 0,
the establishment of that Theatre cannot be co
y•
as coriTlete without them.
