SURREY TIII;ATRE.

This Theatre which, it seems, bat passed into the hands of
Messrs. Dunn and Docker, re-opened last night (with a variety of
internal decorations) for the season, The boxes have been newly
covered with rich crimson paper, and, a magnificent chandelier of
stained glass is substituted fur the old one. A new drop see
too has been painted expressly by, Wilson, so that.on the whole,
the Theatre assumes a very imposing appeurause. The amuse-
ments of the evening eomtnau►•ed`with the following prose Ad-
dress, written by a Mr. Cooper, and by some strange toistske,
inserted in the Public Ledger, as poetry. We are happy, there-
fore, in this opportunity of doing Justice to the Author's talet►ts,
