DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The announcement of Don Miguel's intended visit
drew a crowded house to this theatre last night. The
performances were Sheridan's admirable Comedy of
" The Critic," Hooke's farca of " Killing no Mur-
der," and the pantomime. The audience was a
highly fashionable one, and particularly in the
female portion of it, presented a most splen-
did and imposing appearance. Public curiosity
seemed highly excited towards the illustrious
visitor, who did not, however, arrive until the
commencement of the Pantomime, when he
(Don Miguel) entered the Duke of Gloucester's
box alone, dressed plainly in black, and with-
out any pomp or ostentation. Don Miguel
has a very intelligent countenance, the expression,
however, is indefinite; it is not repulsive, yet on
the whole it is far from pleasing; common-place it
cannot certainly be called : we think it may very
fairly be fixed midway between shrewdness and a
strong love of self-gratification. A Morning Paper
has eccentrically compared him in looks to Buona-
parte ; he is no more like Napoleon than he is
like a whale. Immediately on the Infant's arrival—
for he was recognized at once by the audience,
" God save the King" was called for,
which met
with his Highness's most prompt and respectful ap-
proval.-
He stood the whole time, and frequently
applauded with significant energy. We think the
Managers should have indulged him with the Portu-
guese hymn, it would have been but an act of common
courtesy. His Royal Highness seemed much pleased
with the Pantomime, but the part which most took
his fancy was decidedly the rope-dancing : at this
he seemed quite astonished.
On qutting—as on entering—the theatre, be was
welcomed with the heartiest acclamations, which he
returned with frequent graceful and hearty obeisances.
It was altogether an interesting sight.

There is at present an apple-tree in the gar-
den of Mr. PERCY, on the Antaby-road, near Hull, bear-
ing a second crop, of about thirty apples, some of them
nearly full sized..—York Chronicle.
NEW WATCH ACT.—A meeting of the
inhabitants of the precinct of St. Martin, Ludgate, was
held last night at the London Coffee-house, to consider the
necessary measures for carrying into effect the regulations
of the New Watch Act applicable to that district. After
some discussion, it was agreed to leave the arrangement in
the hands of Messrs. Haastits. and BOUSFIELD) tWo of the
