HAYMARKET THEATRE.
Grisar's pleasant little Opera, f )unded on Mr. Oxen-
ford's farce of Twice Killed, which was successfully pro-
duced at the Adeiphi, on Monday, under the title of
Good Night, Signor Pantalon, was produced here, with an
equal degroe of buccese, on Saturday, under the title of
Good Night, Sir ; Pleasant Dreams; Mr. G. Honey sus-
taining the part of Pantalon in both versions, while at
the Haymarket Mr. James Bland is the substitute for
Mr. Paul Bedford, Mrs. Caulfield for Miss Woolgar, and
Mrs. Fitzwilliam for Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliaw. This
lively, bustling opera was very well acted on Saturday
evening, and. the audience were kept in a roar of laugh-
ter during the whole of the performance. The applause
which greeted its announcement for repetition was en-
thusiastic, and the principll performers were called on
at the conclusion.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
Rachel played Adrienne Lecouvreur on Saturday
night, and with all that picturesque and searching effect
for which she was so celebrated last year. The great
scans where she mortifies the pride or her rival by her
quotations from the classic dramatists, was, as usual, a
inasterpitce of biting and exasperating irony, and told
with immense force. The last scene, in which the un-
fortunate heroine dies under the influence of the poisoned
flower, was likewise a triumph of minute and lingering
agony; for none, save Rachel, could paint the gradual
ext austiou of life with such unt-xaggerated naturalness,
and at the same time with such intense pathos. The
reality of the spectacle, in fact, is almost too painful to
be witnessed. The applaue of the audience was com-
mensurate with the beauty of the acting, and numerous
were the demands for the accomplished artist's appear-
ance to receive it. Rachel repeats this great melo-dra-
matic part to-night, and on Wednesday appears as Mdil!.
de Bede Isle, the same charawer as that which is now
being Lightly acted by Mrs. Charles Kean at the Prin•
etas's. Ihe house on Saturday was sully and fashionably
attended.

DEATH OF W. J. BAGSUAWE, Esq.—We hew
this week to record the death of our worthy magistrate, Wil-
liam John Bagshawe, Esq. He expired early on the morn-
ing of the Ist instant, at his residence, at the Oaks, after a
severe and very protracted illness. His death will be re-
gretted as a great public bereavement. The untiring energy
with which he has devoted himself to the work of the public
has entirely won the esteem of the neighbourhood, and will
be long remembered as doing him honour. He has for many
years past been one of our most active magistrates, and has
also tilled the office of chairman to the Ecclesall board of
guardians ever since it was constituted. To him belongs the
honour of having been the founder, patron, and a liberal sup-
porter of the Norton Agricultural Society. His death, it is
believed, has been induced in some measure by the severity
of his exertion, and we have no doubt his unceasing labour
in the cause of the public has tended to hasten the untoward
event. his remains are to be interred at twelve o'clock to-
day, at Norton Church. We understand our bench of magis-
trates have intimated their intention of being present on the
melancholy occasion, to pay a last tribute of respect to tbe
memory of one so deservedly esteemed bythem.
worthy gentleman was in his 58th year. _
