ADELPHI THEATRE.

On Monday night a new Comic Wahl, in one Act, entitled
23, John-street, Adelphi, and mainly assisted by the individual
exertions of Yates, as Mr. Thomas ,Tomikins, its hero, was pro-
duced for the first time, to the gratification of the most nu-

Tainkins, who fancies that he has created an interest in the heart
of a Lady crazy: wife to a jealous Gentleman of the same cogno-
men. Indueoned by his meets her under very whim-
sical circumstances, fur which he is challenged by the husband;

throughout with unqualified approbation, and, we bevel no doubt,
will he a lasting favourite with the public.

portance, but all betokening au increased activity which warrants
us in indulging. the hope of a speedy visit (row Royalty. Mre

taildog the' opinion which we have expressed above.—Brighton
