HAYMARKET THEATRE.
One of Planche's clever adaptations from the •
French was produced here last evening, under the
title of Somebody Else. The scene is laid in the .
neighbourhood of Hamburgh, where we find en
honest wheelwright, Hans Moritz (Mr. C. Mathews)*
has been left in charge of Louise (Miss Lee) by her
brother, Moritz's bosom friend, Ernest Waldburg
(Mr. Howe), who has gone to America to better hie,
fortunes. As might have been expected, Moritz and
Louise fall in love with each other, but neither told.
their love. Loui=e, through maiden modesty, endf
Moritz, because he thinks it would be a betrayal o
the trust reposed in him to make love to Louise, and
in order to avoid the possibility of his being tempted
to make love to her, he actually engages himself to
his wild rattling cousin, Minnie (Madame Vestris);
He is not aware of the strength of his passion until
his jealousy is excited by the attentions of A
nondescript sort of German dandy, Herr Flit'
terman (capitally acted by Brindal), ivb°,ll:
he threatens with condign punishment if I.
dares to continue his attentions to the girl. At this
juncture letters are received from Ernest, announc"
i!ig his approaching return ; and in his letter to
Louise he tells her that he brings with him her fir.
ture hthband. Louise is in agony. She makes aeon'
fident of Minnie, telling her that she loves another,
but not that that other is Moritz, and Minnie readiV
consents to pass off to Ernst as Louise, whom fr.
has not seen since she was a child. Ernest sees her,
and is delighted ; Moritz is lost in astonishment A/
her excessive impudence, but in every attempt of hie
to explain to Ernest the real state of affairs, she turns
the tables upon him by some clever ruse. Herr Flit- =,
terman arrives, and is unceremoniously rejected by
both ladies. His arrival, however, brings about
explanation ; the betrothed each love somebody ele.e'
and Minnie accepts the hand of Ernest, while Moot°
takes that of Louise, protesting all the while, that al-
though he has long loved her dearly, he has never tou,
her so. The piece is admirably acted through
out, and Madame Vestris sings a very live 1.
vixenish song, to a pretty quaint air, 8;
she alone can sing such songs. It !‘slci
encored as a matter of course. Madame Vestris
Charles Mathews were called for at the fall of the
curtain, and the latter announced the piece for rePeLti.:
tion every evening amidst loud applause.
amusing piece was preceded by Old Heads er.
Young Hearts, and followed by Young England. „,
house was very well attended.

One of the lions, on a petit scale, of our fashiont4ur,
town, is to 'get a peep at the sanctum sanctorum of fel:
George Robins, at Kemp-town, immediately en) co
the Duke of Devonshire's. It is just arrived at 1,4
completion. The tront presents a must inviting le,
a very imposing appearance. The balcony and
randah are of immense extent, giving very greatb;
cility to the sea views, which seem to have no ::e1;
mination. Indeed, from the conservatory (s"'ja
displays unusual tact), the Isle of Wight is,distinet
seen. The interior of this bijou (for it is not a 15464
mansion) is fitted up in such exceedingly chaste gin
correct taste, that it has no fear of rivalry from Ile
pretending contemporary. The offices are said to
lob
quite perfect, and the stable department (over svb
good sense has placed the bed-rooms for the Ina
portion of the establishment) is faultless. It is 1:
ported Mr. Robins has expended more than five
sand guineas in its completion, and the moderate fet.
required is but two hundred and fifty guineas a 9.„0
The Duke of Somerset is said to be among the 111'

LITERATURE.•
THE CHEVALIER. 3 Vols. Bentley, Londonti
r,44;
Vie,;
We are indebted for this historical romance to n.,.
of Mrs. Thompson, who has already acquired s'of
repute by her " Ragland Castle," and other worksic
fiction, which evince inventive talent, if not of to
highest, at any rate of a respectable, order. in,t,if
tale before us she takes the same subject-1101:1 vs;
the rebellion of 1745—which Sir Walter Suut',l
treated with such consummate skill, in his firstto
best novel of " Waverley." But she has the tat b
avoid touching on that portion of the theme vile
Scott treated with such unrivalled spirit—unmell'nes
rising among the highland ,thiefs ; and lays her sce-to
exclusively in England, and d )es not introduce. 11510
Prinee Charles k.dward till he has advanCed with re
gallant band of adventurers as far as Derby, wi:igto
the hero of the piece, Ellen Morton, is introduce
him. This character is by far the most consisterPh,
maintained in the narrative, and the account of
_1;c1
rise and progress of her ill-starred affection for, end
ultimate marriage with, Francis Radcliffe, the sclrinv
the Jacobite Earl of Derwentwater, is given with t of
feminine tact and delicacy. The earlier chapters,. ,0
Abbu_le
the 1° Chevalier," with the sketches of Mrs.
provincial school, are heavy and languid, but the ale
improves the instant the Pretender and his arreldeiti
brought upon the stage, and keeps alive the tea .00
curiosity and interest to the close. If Mrs. Thostg be
were a little less diffuse in her language, she wow"
a far more effective writer of fiction.
