THE THEATRE'S.

HAY:MARKET.--The Comedy of Wild Oats—
'wild, indeed, but by no means uninteresting, and
certainly very entertaining, introduced MATHEWS in
the character of Rorer last night, for the purpose of
giving full scope to his mimetic powers, which he
displayed with great success,- in a close imitation
of several of the chief Theatrical Performers of
the day. lie was of course much applauded, and
altogether rendered the part very ludicrous and
diverting. TERRY in Sir George Thunder, Mrs.
GLOVER in Lady Amaranth, and Mrs. GIBBS in
Jane, acquitted themselves very well, and the
Comedy gave much pleasure to a crowded au-

dience.
ENGLISH OPERA.—The sterling Old Comic
Opera of Lore in o Village was. well attended last
ight at this Theatre. A Miss STEVENSON ap-
tared for the first "time in the part of Rosetta,
illy:justified the previous rumours in her fa-
She is very young ; her person is slender,
well formed, and her countenance expressive ;
ter voice is pleasing, but not powerful ; her ac-
ion was easy, but somewhat redundant. She is
oo much inclined in her singing to the flourish-
ng taste of the d'ay and it she would be con-
ient to give the original simplicity, she
seems eapableof cpitributing to the recovery of
a natural taste .in the public, whose taste has been
too much corrupted by the. luxuriant decorations
of certain Modern innovators, for there are Re-
formers. in music as well as in politics. Miss
STEvENSON entered into the spirit of the charac-
ter and supported it with good effect. CHATTER-,
LLY'S Justice Woodcock was humorous; but had
more original sallies than the part required. Miss
KELLY .was excellent in Madge,. and the Opera al-
ogether was deservedly well received.
