HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Last evening Mr. Macready played, for the last
time but one, his celebrated character of Werner.
We shall not now enter into a criticism upon a per-
formance the lofty merits of which are universally
known and admitted. It is one of our eminent tra-
gedian's greatest efforts, and should be seen by all
who reverence histrionic genius in its highest and
mostoinstructive manifestations. We never saw him
act better than on this occasion. All the masterly
touches of nature with which his delineation of the
character abounds, and the whole of the magnificent
last scene, his conception of which is perfectly
sublime, were given with as great effect as ever, and
elicited most enthusiastic applause. Mr. Davenport
made another considerable advance in public favour
by his admirable version of the dißicult and important
part of Ulric. Mrs. Warner was highly effective as
Josephine, and Miss Reynolds made a very pretty and
interesting Ida. The house was crowded.

QUEEN'S THEITRE.
A new meiodraraz, entitled The Pirate Queen; or

the Cataract of the Grants Rock, was produced at
this theatre last evening, in the course of which the
introduction, as beautitul as it was novel, of a torrent
of real water on the stage produced an immense
effect. For variety of scenery and magnificent cos-
tumes the melodrama has seldom been surpassed.
The piece was strongly csst. We mutt especially
commend the acting and singing of Miss Farrell,
who made her first appearance on this occasion ; this
lady will prove a great acquisition to the company.
Mrs. Boyce evinced considerable talent as the Pirate
Queen, while Messrs. Green, Dean, and Bigwood in
their respective parts added greatly to the success of
the piece, the quaint acting of the last mention2d
gentleman being greatly appreciated by the audience.
At the conclusion the principal artists were called
before the curtain, and the piece was announced for
repetition every evening.

THEATRE ROYAL, MAN CHESTER

During the past month the frequenters of this
theatre have been gratified, through the aid of a most
efficient operatic company, with 4 series of admirable
performances. Among the various pieces produced
have been several of the masterpieces of the great
composers. One of the most brilliant, successes
among these was the rendering of the chef d oeuvre
of Mozart. Almost all the principal parts were sup-
ported excellently well, but Borrani appears to have
excited a genuine furor in the character of Dan
Giovanni. His splendid voice and artistic singing
tells to admiration in the duet "La ci darem," gain-
ing him a nightly encore both in that and in the
" Serenade." Everything shows that Manchester is
still resolved to maintain its fame for musical taste
and discrimination.

ALLEGED DISCOVERY OF AERIAL .'VA.
VIGATION IN AMERICA.

:From the New York Herald of Oztober 22.)

TAGGET'S FLYING MACHINE.—Mr. Tagget bac
been at great expense in preparing a place to show the
people of New York ho can navigate the air.
"His ascension will conic off on Wednesday, the 30th
inst., near the corner of Twenty-Third-street and Fifth-
avenue, at three, P.M. Mr. Tagget informs us he has
made two successful ascensions, and travelled 75 miles
in an hour and twenty minutes, making four different
angles. This machine has been on exhibition at 135,
Fulton-street, for two weeks. Many scientific men have
ex mined it, and we believe all concur in saying they
believe he has accomplished the fact of navigating the
air. We were incredulous in believing the air would
ever be navigated, but after critically examining the in-
vention, we mu!t say that we' can see no difficulty but
what Mr. Tugget has overcome. We shall be present at
the ascension, and hope all scientific men will attend."
Such is the statement of the New York Herald, and
to this we may add that in one of Mr. Tagget's ascen-
sions, wich came off at Lowell, in Massachusetts, on
the 4th July, the New York Journal of commerce states
that Mr. Tagoet proceeded out to sea a considerable
distance, and 'having promised to return to Lowell, he
turned his machine about, and would undoubtedly bare
fulfilled his promise of returning, had not some part cf
his machinery broke, and he descended safely at Middle-
ton, only six miles from Lowell, though the entire dis-
tance he had travelled was 75 miles, performed in an
hour and twenty minute.
Mr. Tagget has patented his machine, but neither of
the above papers give a description of it, with the ex-
ception of thq. Journal of Commerce stating that it is at-
tached to a balloon.
