THE THEATRE.—Mr. BARTI.EY, who otigi.
nally appeared at Drury lane Theatre in the part of
Orlando, on Saturday last, in consequence of the
indisposition of Mr. BANNISTER, performed the
part of Tandem, in the new Comedy of The Mar-
riage Promise. Mr. BARTLEY is very well quali.
lied for Charaeters of plain sense and manly feeling,
hut not equally well fitted for those of whim and
eccentricity. Tandem is a part written purposely
for the talents of BANNrsTER, and therefore any
other Performer must appear in it to a comparative
disadvanr:ige. It must be acknowledged, however,
that Mr. BARTLEY, coming forward under such
an untoward circumstance, acquitted himself in a
very respettahle manner. His chief want was in
that pert briskness and familiar vanity with which
his Predecessor rendered the ran so prominent in
the Piece. The Audience, which was very nume-
rous, received Mr. BARTLEY in a very favourable
manner, and the Comedy itself went off with con-
siderable spirit in the humorous passages, and with
strong interest in those of the pathetic description.
COOK 13 continues to be too much indisposed to
resume his Charaeter in John Bull, and it was again
performed on Saturday night by MuRRAY. COOKE,
'we understand, is really much indisposed, and has
been some days obliged to have medical assistance.
Mr. Coorsit is in treaty with the Drury-lane
Managers about an engagement for next season. It
would be a pity if a young man of such talents
should go back to America, where he cannot he
supposed to have an opportunity of improving them,
sufficiently to take a lead on the.Lornlon Stage.
.John Bull was performed twice during the race
week at Durham, by.STErlisx KEMBLE's Com-
pany, and a crowded Audience attended both Re.
presentations.

menade was yesterday completely crowded with the
