FITZROY.

This house, which has relinquished its old appellation
of the " Queen's," opened last night with an entirely
new company, under the management of Mr. OLLIEIe
and Mr. MAyinw. The entertainments commenced with
the Templar, a domestic tragedy, and Who is the Right?
laughableti farce; but of their respective merits it was
impossible for us to form any notion, as the noisy vocife-
rstiun of the gods prevented anything from being audible
but their own continuous roar, which lasted without miti-
gation till the commencement of the pantomime of Harle-
2ttin Merman, which was very well received by an over-
flowing audience, and was certainly deserving of the ap-
Probation it obtained. The tricks are very good, and the
illusions, political and general, were in very good taste.
4-11 election booth is introduced upon the stage, and in the
vehemence of the candidates to secure their constituents,
I corpulent " plumper" is actually torn asunder, and
Converted by main force into a " split vote." The per-
formances were not over until 1 o'clock, and were an-
nounced for the following evening, without a dissentient
voice. Mrs. Kiaav is the Columbine, and danced with
great elegance; and young PAULO, as the Clown, is likely
to rival the celebrity of his father, of whose tumbling
virtues he appears to be heir and representative. The
Performances commenced with a sprightly prologue en-
titled " Slight Confusion."
