THE 'I EA 1 RE,S.

EsGum OPERA Houss —After the represen-
tation of The Padlock last night, at this Theatre,
a i.ew musical Farce was brought forward, entitled
My own Rival, or Sophy, Lucy; and Lucy, Sophy.
The plot is simple and not uninteresting. Edward,
a young Officer, has fallen in love with a very
young lady called Sophy, before he goes abroad in
the service of his Country. . The lady, who had
been sent into the country by her father, visits
Itumsgate„ and sees her lover land on the beach.
In order to try his constancy she a,.sarnes her
proper name of Lucy, and meets her lover, who is
struck with the similitude between the supposed
two Ladies, and pays particular attention to Lucy.
After several changes trom Sophy to Lucy, and
Lucy to Sophia, manifested by the rustic plain-
ness of one dress, and the fashionable fiery of the
other, the Lover,liearing that Sophy had fallen into
distress, generously prefers her to the acknowledged
wealthy Lucy, and is rewarded in finding that
they are one and the same. The piece does not
aspire at brilliancy of dialogue, but simply to di-
vert by alternation, and to affect by pathos, and it
fully answered its purpose. It was very well sup-
ported by WhENCH and Miss KELLY, and very
favourably received by the audience.

COBOURG THEATHE.—This superb Theatre was
last night crowded to the extreme, owing to the
fist representation of the Inca, in which Mr.
HENRY KRMELE made his first debut, with great
eclat. This piece has been brought forward in
the most costly style ; in point of scenery, costume,
&c. it by far surpasses any thing we have as yet
witnessed at any Minor Theatre. Mr. WooLF
and young Box were encored in their ,duets.—
Mrs. STANLEY, in the last scene with KEMBLE,
performed to admiration ; and old BARRYMORE,
as the Inca, displayed great talents.,

MEETING OF THE RENTERS OF DRURY-LANE
THEATRE.

A Meeting of the New Reuters of this Theatre
was held yesterday, pursuant to adjournment, for
the purpose of receiving the Report of the Select
Committee, appGin,ed on the 21st instant, to
confer with the Trustees and the Committee pre-
viously appointed, to take into consideration the
present sta'e of the affairs of the Concern.
FALLOWFIELD having been called to the
Ch air, pretaced the reading of the Report by
some observations as to the necessity of adopting
the course recommended ; namely, the giving up
the last four years' annuity already due, and post-
poning the claim for the ensuing four years, at
the expiration of which period the annuity was to
be regularly paid ; and, in addition, a proportion
of the claims on account of the annuity for each
of the last four years, to the amount ut 10 per
cent. until the whole was liquidated.
A Member of the Committee expressed his de-
cided hostility to the New Renters being called
on to make f►►rther sacrifices after what they had
already done. In his opinion they ought not to
be called an to give up the annuity.

Several Members were for agreeing to the Re-
port, and following np the exertions of the Cons-
►nittee by making the sacrifice recommended, as
the only course that could be pursued with any
chance of obtaining a return for what they had
advanced.
Atter same conversation a Resolution was come
to for agreeing to the report ; and the propriety
of those persons who were in favtpur of such a
course si.r,ii!irg a paper to that effect having been
suggested, several Gentlemen signed their nausea
accordingly..
The Meeting then adjourned sine die.
