THE THE ATRE.

Drury-Lane.

An Opera entitled Algorzah was last night te'..
presented at this place, for the benefit of Mrs.. lit L
itio-roN. It is founded upon the Cherokee, an'
opera written by Mr, Cogu, which was brought for.:
ward several years ago at this Theatre. M. Cog
we understand, with friendly zeal, .himself altered
this piece for representation last night. He has re-
tained the outline of his former drama, and, of
course, the principal .chara&ers. In orderi how-
ever, to relieve the serious events of the piece, he
has introduced the charattler of Dabble the Dentist,
from 'his own farce of The Ila,nozristi with good
efnet.

The Music was composed by the late STOR AC F.,
and is worthy of his high professional repute. Some
additions have been made by KELLY, and they as.,
similate admirably with the general charatier of the
Music. A Duet in particular, sung by Mrs. kilt..
L I NGTON and MN. CROUCH, was highly applauded,,
and was encored. Mrs. Y,iLLrNGTON also introduced
some Airs, which affotded full 'scope fot her powers.
Indeed, .often as we have heard het, we have never
before heard her to so much advantage, Several of
the Songs were repeated.

The part of Ma/ooko, the Indian Ghiefy was to
have been performed by BARR YMOR 2, but as he hat
just had the misfortune to lose his father,- it way
assigned to CAULF nI,D, who supported it through.
Out with great spirit, and indeed exhibited talents
that deserve encouragement..
BANNTsTnt's Dabble was whimsical and divert..
ing. One temporary allusion was very Well re-,
ceived. An Indian Chief tells Dabble that in his
country some hunt, some fsh, and those who cart,
not follow such labours gather berries, and the whole
supplies a common. repast. "Aye," says D-abl)le, "as
Subscription Sapper, a Pie-Nic in the woods." The
roar of applause which this sally excited continued
some timc, and evidently proved, that public opi..
nion is strongly adverse to the objea alluded to.

Mrs. CROUCH had a very gratifying reception'
from the audience. The House was thronged in all
parts, and the piece was very well received. The
last scene, which was to exhibit the springing of a
mine, was exmuted in a bungling manner, and the
curtain at the conclusion descended with diflicuity.‘
These accidents somewhat displeased the audience
but when the Piece
.was announced fur Tuesday
next, they, in general, gave a hearty assent,
