THE THEATRE.

1/4,OVEWNG A RDEII.—MiSS BAKEWELL, a Lady
well known in polite circles, and whose connexions,
we understand, are highly respectable, last night
made her first appearance at this Theatre in the
character of Mrs. Haller. On her entrance she
was so much overcome by her fears that it was
some time before she could collect firmness
811inCieht to face the audience, and then her
.°°ice Was rendered so tremulous and feeble that
itt was impossible to hear what she uttered.
4'we'ver, when she was sufficiently recovered
i° proCeed in her part, it was obvious that
hewvoice was pleasing in tone, though hardly
her enough for so large a Theatre. As
r seif,possession increased, it was evident
rain her deportment that she had been used to
e.legant society, and that she had a just concep-
tion of the part which she had 'assumed. Iler
face
is
P
buti-delicate. II er
4Ce is very handsome, and is animated by a pair
of sparkling eyes that seem better adapted to
1-nexpression than to the effusions of the
mournful muse. Indeed, we should not be sur-
Prised to see her very successful in genteel
;ornedy. The terrors that oppressed her at
first
seemed to linger through her whole
P‘e.rformance, but it was, notwithstanding, cre-
ttlitahle to her judgment, as well as to her
:risibility. She was very well received by the
2diefice, and at the dropping of the curtain,
lien The Exile was announced by Mr. EGER.--
I:TON for to-night, there was a demand for the re-
etition of;:tire. The Stranger, and he was obliged to
Mr. FAWCETT soon' after appeared, and'
hen there Iris a mingled call for The Exile and '
~ttiou'he Stranger. After saying that he was always
;!e sto obey the wishes of the audience when
othercould collect the opinion of the majority, he
4Atriudently withdrew, without announcing any
obiPPerformance, leaving matters to stand
reviously announced. He was, however,
I,ed to come forward again as the clamour
tears renewed during the first scene of The Bar-
°.l Seville and then as the cry seemed to be
rep y in favour of The Stranger, he promised its
111.,:tIti°n; but without specifying the night.
AT. afterpiece was then suffered to proceed, and
iss T

"affected simplicityof her acting, in the
Part of p ,

eostility into admiration and applause.

THE CHAMPION'S ARMOUR.
It was found impossible to selectilrom the
armour belonging to Government a complete.und eligible suit
for the Champion at the Coronation of his present Majesty,
consequently that worn by the Champion upon the occasion
was a borrowed one But as amongst the privileies enjoyed
by the hero was that of being allowed to ride oti both with
horse and armour, his Majesty was most graciously pleased to
give directions for an entire new suit 'to be made for his
Champion : this is just now completed, under the auspices
of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Master-General of his
Majesty's Ordnance; it is of steel, polished to the highest state
of perfection, and fastened with brass rivets. The connexion of
the gorget, gauntlets, tassel, brasses, cuipcs, cuirasse, and
r leg armour, is accomplished in the most finished style, and al-
lows the free use of the limbs to the wearer.. The casque and
beaver are unique and elegant, though we are of opinion that
a plume similar to that worn at the Coronation would render
the tout-ensemble more complete. It is both light and elegant.
The ability shewn by the Cyclops employed proves that the
art, so far from being lost in England, is now in the highest
state of perfection, aA we might venture to challenge a com-
parison with the immortal suit presented by Thetis to her in-
dignant son, at the siege of Troy. We understand that the
expense of th's- magnificent present will bear hard upon three
hundred guineas.—(Morning Paper.)

RECEIPT FOR A MODERN DUEL.
Two fools, with each an empty bead,
Or, like their pistols, lined with lead;
Two minor fools, to measure distance ;
A surgeon, to afford assistance ;
A paragraph, to catch the fair ;
And tell the world, now BRAVE THEY WERE!
