LT. LIMES'S THEATRX.

The management, with praiseworthy enel,gy, keep up a
continued supply of novelties, and last night produced an
original comedy with great success, which the late Mr.
James Kenny—the popular author of " Swi?ethectrts and
Wives," and many other genuine pieces that pleased
the last generation—left at his death unact -ed. It
is in three acts, and is entitled, " London Pride; or, Livinro•
for Appearances."
The object of the comedy is to display tho mist ry pro-
duced by a perpetual sacrifice to conventional appeal ances ;
and this lesson is worked out upon all the principal tit whlatis
personce. Mr. Harrington (Mrs. Frank Matthews,), who
has risen from lower life, sacrifices everything to :her
passion for social distinction, and torments her hu:sb and,
Mr. Harrington (Mr. Leigh Murray), with her
extravagances. She is lured by a swindling foreigi ter,
Falsetto (Mr. Walter Carle), to reject, as her daugi L.
ter's suitor, the son of an old friend, Frederic
Anson (Mr. Brazier), for a nominal character who nov er
appears. This brings Julia, the daughter (Miss Nelly
Moore), into great distress as well as the young man, and
the father is compelled to aid her as he cannot give is
child any portion. Mrs. Harrington's extravagance carri es
her to the lexgth of taking a thousand pounds out of Ii er
husband's escritoire, which she jinn gines to be his, but wbach
really is only a part of the portion the father of the
daughter's lover has deposited with him. The scoundrel
Falsetto has contrived to substitute false jewels for the r
and decamps with them; and Mr. Harrington, finding
himself ruined, rejects entirely the offer of the father of tree
lover, Mr. Anson (Mr. George Spencer), and has to return
him the money, and desires his wife to deliver up the k:
of his escritoire, which he has left with her. She is :low
horror-stricken, and sends back the jewels to male: up
what she can of 'the, money she has taken, wden they
aro declared to bo false, and the trick of Falsetto. is
revealed. Her humble but rich uncle, whom she tuts
always scorned, here steps in, and finding that she has only
been extremely foolish, and not criminal, furnishes (sash
enough, to settle all matters, and make the young couple
happy.

The applause was perfectly genuine, and completly rati-
fied the success of the piece, which is likely to grow raridly
into the favour of the public, which we are glad to see Taas
found its way to this theatre, it being filled in all parts. The
ballet farce of "Magic Toys" and the burlesque of " Vir-
ginius" completed the entertainments of the evening.
