PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

A clever adaptation of the Afalatre, which was recently per-
formed at the St. James's Theatre, was produced at this theatre
last evening, under the title of the Chevalier de St. Georges.
Wallack appearing as the Chevalier (the mulatto Chevalier, the
character sustained by Lafont in the original), and Mrs. Stirling as
the Countess (Nathalie's part). The acting of Wallack and Mrs.
Stirling, in their respective parts, left us nothing to desire;
they
were fully equal to their respective originals. They were, of

SADLERS' WELLS.
We last night paid a visit to Sadlers' Wells Theatre, so moth
improved, indeed, under the management of Mr. Phelps and Mrs.
Warner. Sheridan Knowles's historical play of William Tell wat
performed, and most successfully. We have often seen and ad-
mired Mr. Phelps' performances, and last night, in the pan of
Tell, the liberator of his country, we think he even exc,.',lled him.

universal applause. Mrs. Warner, as Emma (Tera's wife), had
but little to do to call forth her well-known ability. It is sufficient
to say that little was ably performed. Miss St,...pbens personated

with great spirit, and the V..enes between Mr. Splasher, by Mr.

house with laughter; and. we would advise the lovers of fun to
lose no time in going to see the
performance. We were glad to
see the house so well filled.

S. YATES'S BENEFIT.— We observe that the
Benefit of MrsNates, at the Adelphi Theatre is fixed for
Thursday
next (to-morrow). To enlarge upon the claims of this admirable
actress to the public gratitude, would indeed be work of superero.

that her benefit takes place to-morrow, and it is unnecessary to
add that the house will be a bumper.
DAY PERFORMANCES AT ASTLEY'S.-111r. Batty,
encouraged :by the success of the day performances at Astley's last
season, intends to give a series of them during the present one.
Ho commences the day performances to-morrow, and continues
them on the three following Thursdays. The juveniles ought to
be much obliged to Mr. Batty for this arrangement, as it affords
them an opportunity of seeing the wonders of Astley's without
keeping them out of their beds at night to the injury of their
health.
