THEATRICAL MOVEMENTS.

We believe it is announced that the Pyne and
Harrison Company go to the Royal Italian Opera
House after leaving Drury-lane, at the end of the
present month, until the commencement of the
Italian opera season, under Mr. Gye.

Of Mr-. Smith's movements ai Drury-lane we
hear little, except that he relies on his pantomime to
carry him through the winter, and that Mr. B.
Blanchard again gives his valuable services in the
concoction of the Christmas novelty.
Mr. Buckstone has had a rare turn of luck all
this season at the Haymarket—the crowning suc-
cess being the engagement of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Mathews, who are drawing immensely in "London
Assurance." The winter months will be enlivened
by a comedy from the pen of Mr. Bayle Bernard;
and Miss Amy Sedgwick (now Mrs. Parkes) will
appear in a comic drama, written by Mr. Palgrava
Simpson.
Turning to the Princess's, we behold, as in a
glass, a magnificent succession of Shakspere's plays.
filling the stage with a glory that will have de-
parted from it at the end of July, when Mr. Charles
Kean's lesseeship of the theatre terminates.
The Lyceum will be occupied by M. Jullien and
his Concerts d'Adieu during the present month,
after which Mr. Falconer returns with another
comedy from his own desk, and an extravaganza
by Robert Brough.
Mr. B. Webster, the popular manager of the old
Adelphi, has declined several profitable provincial
engagements, in order that he might devote his
entire attention to the building of the new Adelphit
which is now rapidly progressing.
Madame Celeste is still staying at the National
Standard, with Mr. Paul Bedford. The other mein;
bers of the old company whO have been engagea,
for the new establishment are scattered up and
down, waiting anxiously for the summons which
is to call them again together to renew their
ancient fellowship. Mr. Wright, we hear, has de-
rived so much benefit from the sea breezes at Mar'
gate, that he will most probably be able to resume
his professional duties this winter. Mr. J. 1-'•
Toole, the popular comedian, whose success in the
various provincial theatres has been enormousp.r
the most important of the new engagements whkit
Mr. Webster has yet made.
Wilkie Collins's " Red Vial," at the Olympic,
attracts, notwithstanding its disagreeable subject,
chiefly on account of the wonderful acting of Mra'
Stirling and Mr. Robson. Nothing finer than
Mrs. Stirling's power of concentration and indivi"
dualisation has been seen on the modern stage ;
and, whether the drama lives or sinks into obscu-
rity, the impression which she has made in a most
difficult and unpleasant part will not son be for
gotten. Mr. Robson appeared last week in Toni
Taylor's revived farce of " To Oblige Benson," in
which the ludicrous jealousy of poor Mr. sentil.
down kept the audience in shouts of laughter.
We are pleased to find the little Strand Theatre
crowded to overflowingevery evening. Mr. Byron's
new burlesque of " The Maid and the Magpie" has
proved a "great hit." A new farce, by Mr. C. A.
Troughton, called " Wooing in Jest, and. Lovingia
Earnest," will be produced this evening. Another
farce, by Mr. J. M. Morton, is in rehearsal,
The revival of "King Henry the Fifth," at
Sadler's Wells, has been as successful as the man' •
agement could desire. Generally the thoatrea
have been well attended during the week, and the
prospects for the season, between this and Christ'
mas, are unusually cheering.
Miss Amy Sedgwick, the popular actress of 010
Haymarket Theatre, whose serious illness for solve
time past prevented her appearance on the stages
has recently bestowed her hand upon Dr. Parke*
her medical attendant.

Mr. and Lady Margaret Beaumont have returned
to town from visiting Viscount aid Viscountess Palmerston'
at Broadlands.

Mr. and Lady Henrietta Morant have left CI
ridge's Hotel, for Paris.

Major the Hon. J. S. Calthorpe have left GrO
venor-square, for Turin.
The Attorney-General to the Prince of liralea
has arrived in town from a visit to the Duke and Duch°.
of Buccleuch, at Drumlanrig Castle, N.B.
Madame Oury has returned to town, from
lengthened visit to Sir Clifford and Lady Constable, ill
Yorkshire.

ERRATUM.—At the close of our first leader on
Saturday evening last, the word—misprinted " New-Zeii"
land—should obviously have been New-Zealander."

The investiture of the Order of the Bath, vhich
was appointed for to-morrow (Tuesday), at Winds°
Castle, has been postponed.
