'TtIE THEATRItS%

ITArmAr.KET.—This Theatre concluded for
' the Season last night. It is but justice to the
Proprietor to state that he has discharged his
duty to the public with judgment, spirit, and
liberality. Ile engaged all the Performers of
merit who could be spared from the Winter
Theatres, if iVinter Theatres they can now be
called, and introduced others, who possess con-
siderable merit, and will, no doubt, make
their way to patentee boards. In Mr. TERRY he
retained a very able Stage-manager, who has
constantly put his own shoulders to the wheel, and
may be justly deemed an established favourite of
the public. Mrs.CHATTER LEY has been brought for-
ward in a manner that has added much to her re-
putation. Miss R. Coml.', by the same means, has
proved herself an accomplished singer, and re.
spectable as an actress ; and among other meri-
torious performers, last not least, Miss BLAKE,
whose vocal powers and spirited acting must
excite regret that she did not appear earlier in
the season, that a wider scope might have been
allotted' to her taletitS. The Proprietor erO-
ployed in the construction of his new theatre,
Mr. who, patronized by IIoyALTY,
Might naturally be expected to be at the
head of his profession. If that gentleman
does not possess experience in the construction of
a Theatre equal to his knowledge in other
branches of his art, it is not the fault of the
Proprietor, and, of course, all defects and in-
cumbrances will find a proper remedy before the
opening of the next seasom. The public are in-
debted to the Proprietor also for the revival of
pieces of sterling merit, and for the introduction
of dramatic novelties which have been. highly ap-
proved, particularly the excellent comedy of
Match-breaking, and the lively afterpiece of
Match-making, both of which were. very well
supported by the Performers in general. We
could say more in justice to the management, bui
our limits oblige us to conclude with the follow.
ing Address, which was well delivered by Mr.
TERRY, and very warmly applauded by a. flume.
rous audience:—

" LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—I am deputed by the pro-
prietor to offer you the customary return of his grateful acknow-
ledgments for the liberal support with which you have seconded
his anxious and arduous endeavours to establish an independent
company in the new Haymarket Theatre.
" It would be tedious to detail to you the numerous and
peculiar difficulties of such an undertaking, as well as the new
and increasing obstructions with which this little establishment,
so long the object of your favour (and, it may almost be said, of
your affection), has now to contend.

" Our short simmer privilege, gradually encroached upon,
and each succeeding year made less-and-less by the invasions of
the winter houses, has at length been entirely taken from us by
one of them. Since, then, the winter theatres are becoming
summer ones, and are striving utterly to deprive us of that small
portion of the year which had hitherto been left free to our use,
it is but fair (indeed it is the only chance we have remaining)
that we, availing ourselves of the full extent of the-Royal license
granted to this property, should in return endeavour as much as
possible to make the summer theatre a winter one.
" Of the difficulty of this attempt, the proprietor is fully
aware : nevertheless, he enters upon the open field of public
competition, prepared to struggle and endure : he enters it at
present, indeed, with unequal strength, and surrounded by ob-
structions, yet he is willing to fight on, until lie may at last suc-
ceed in establishing a company, independent of the larger
theatres, which, through the full extent of his license, may have
a just and equal claim to your support, in a theatre honoura-
bly devoted to all the legitimate purposes of the British Drama.
" Much of the incipient difficulty, which attends new at.
tempts has, of course, been removed by the experipient of the
present season, and much of the experience beneficial to future
efforts has been obtained; and the proprietor desires me to as-
sure you, that with his means his exertions shall gradually in.
crease in every department, to meet the wishes of-an indulgent
public, whom it is equally his duty,•iiii interest, and his desire
to serve.

Every alteration or . addition by which the comfort, the
convenience, or the dramatic effectiveness of this Theatre can
be improved shall be attended to, and no exertion on the Pro-
prietor's part shall be omitted to encourage rising talent, and to
secure such of that already established, as time and opportunity
may render accessible to him.
" I have now, Ladies and Gentlemen, only to add the sincere
thanks of the several Per for the liberal support you
have granted them, with which I beg most cordially to unite
my own, and for ie present respectfully and gratefully to bid
you farewell."

ROYAL WEST LONDON THEATP.E.--The great
name of SorflocLes induced us to visit this The-
atre last night, to witness the representation of
CEdipus 7:yrannus, notwithstanding the harsh,
illiberal, and even brutal report of the perform-
ance in a Morning Paper of yesterday, and we
were very agreeably disappointed, if we may so
express ourselves, respecting a drama tragic even
to a degree of horror. There have been several

translations, or imitations, of this production of
the great Poet of ancient Greece. The first
was in 1581, by NEVILLE. The next was
by DRYDEN and LEE, 1679. The third, in
1715, by THEOBALD. The fourth by ADAMS,
in 17'29. The fifth by Dr. FRANKLIN, 1759,
and the last by the present Mr.. Riurticc,
1779, of the British Museum, a Gentleman
of well-known learning and poetical genius.
The piece represented last night appears to be a
compound and abridgement of the whole. It is
well condensed, and is a very interesting piece,
and -was well supported altogether. The part
of (Edipus was performed with great feeling and
.expression by Mr. HUNTLEY ; and Tiresias, by
a Mr. Moamica, with suitable dignity.--We
had no idea of the high merits of Mrs. GLOVER
in Tragedy till we witnessed her Jocasta, which
would do honour to any stage, and any tragic
actress.—The subordinate characters were at
least respectable, and the Play was much applaud-
ed. The afterpiece was The Sultan, and from the
time when the farce was originally brought for-
ward by Mrs. ABINGTON, it may fairly be said
that the part of Roxalana was never better, if
so well, supported than by Mrs. GLOVER, 011
this occasion. Her performance was easy, hu-
mourous, spirited, and peculiarly effective, and
compared with her Jocasta was a remarkable
proof of theatrical versatility. Yet this Actress
is suffered to remain in a minor Theatre!! !

Monsieur CAIITONI, a celebrated perfo'rmer
from Rome, is engaged for the King's Theatre as
Primo Buffo. He is said, to possess a most ex-
cellent bass voice, and to be a very scientific
performer.

The arrival of three new tragedies in this
country, frGm Lord BYRON, is announced. The
hero of one of these pieces is said to be FOSCARI,
son of the Doge of that name, who was unjustly
I)anished by the Venetian Senate, after having
been cruelly tortured, for a crime of which he
appears to have been entirely innocent. The
second tragedy is entitled Cain ; of the third,
the name has not transpired.
