THE THEATRES.

DRURV-LANE.-.AS the former prices were re•
stored last night at this Theatre, an illiberal op-
position Was expected, hut the audience were too
indulgent to manifest any displeasure on that
ground, though the new Comedy of Honour did
tint pass Off so favourably altogether as on the
previous representation.
COVENT-GARDEN —The new operatic piece en.-
titled The Heart of Mid Lothian, lost nothing of
its attraction last night, nor was there any abate-
ment of applause, so that, with a few more re.-
trenehments, it will probably be very profitable
to the Theatre.

Miss KELLY was to make her first appearance
last night at Pinburgh, in the part of Peggy, in
The Country Girl.
Mr. JONES, the Dublin Manager, who seems
to have a peculiar genius for dissensions with his
Performers, is involved in a new squabble by the
dismission of Miss BYRNE for having performed
at a Concert. The audience, on Friday last, tore
up the benches and considerably injured the
Theatre in their demands for her restoration.

COOKE THE ACTOR.—A physician seeing COOKE
shout to drink a glass of brandy, said, " Don't
drink 'hat filthy stuff; brandy is the worst ene-
my you have." " I know that," replied COOKE,
" hut you know the Scriptures command us to
love our enemies; so here goes !"

to say more nn the opening of the Exhibition of the
Society of Painters in Oil and Water-colours yes-
tertiary , than to observe, that the Art has by no means
declined, but that the collection in general mani-
fests absolute iMproVetnent in taste and judgment.
GLOVER, CoPLEY, FIELDING, PROUT, RICHTER,
VARLBY, HOBSON, CAWSB, LINNBLL, MiSS El.
GOLDSMITH, STEPHANOFF, and other able Artists,
whom we have riot opportunity to notice, have

ported their established reputation.

MERCANTILII SUCCESS.—The late HARVEY
CHRISTIAN COOMBE, Esq. left a widow and ten
children, four sons and six daughters. To Mrs.
Cowing be left 30001. a-year for her life, issuing
out of his landed estate, to revert on her decease
to his. eldest son ; to the other sons, 20,0001.
