COURT THEATRICALS AT WINDSOR.

The second dramatic representation under the di-
rection of Mr. C. Kean took place last night before
her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and
the Court. The exquisite acting of Mrs. Kean as
King Rene's daughter, must have convinced all pre-
sent that the British stage can yet boast of genius
equal to the bygone age, and that we still possess an
actress whose fame will live among the most honoured
names that have ever adorned our dramatic annals.
The second piece was Charles Xll.—most excellently
cast and most efficiently performed. Mr. Kean
played a trifling character of a few lines, thereby,
affording a marked proof of respect to his royal pa-
trons, and a bright example to the rest of his profes-
sion. The room was crowded as before. The young
Princes were attired in their Highland costume, and,
with the Princesses, sat on the steps of the dais.
Colonel Phipps expressed to Mr. Kean her Majesty's
approval in very warm terms.
(From the Court Circular.)
Shortly before eight o'clock her Majesty the Queen
and his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, with the
Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal,
and the Princess Alice, entered the theatre, accom-
panied by her Royal highness the Duchess of Kent,
his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar,
Monsieur and Madame Van de Weyer, the Marquis
of Lansdowne, the Marquis and Marchioness of
Westminster, Lady Octavia Grosvenor, the Earl of
Aberdeen, Viscount and Viscountess Mahon, Lord
and Lady Ashley, and other visitors, and attended by
the Countess of Desert, lady in waiting, the Marquis
of o:monde, lord in waiting, and the other ladies and
gentlemen of the court in waiting.
Her Majesty and the Prince and the illustrious
party having taken their seats, her Majesty's private
band, which was stationed ih an ante-room, played

formance then commenced.
