THE THEATRE.—The favourable impression
'which Mr. VANDENIIOFF made upon the audi,
*Wee by. his first performance of Coriolanus, in-
duced him to resume the -part last night at Co-
vent-Garden Theatre. -He was more in self--
Possession, tribe natural effect of success, and
though he still wisely kept the model. of Mr.
'EMBLE ii his view, there were occasionally vivid
marks of original conception. Report had said
that he was an imitator of both KERN and KEM-
4LE, but we saw no trace of those sudden transi-
tions from the lofty to the familiar, to which the
former was, on account of their novelty, so much
indebted for his extraordinary success. Mr.VAN,.
4)Lxliorr; we repeat, seems intent on acting with
. and a. faithful regard to character.,
Without that fafltastical trickery, which can only.
P'e.4se'shallow minds, and " make the judicious
grleve.7,' But the world is so full of folly, that the
decisions of a miNed audience are generally erro-
14euus.., and only in the right when a few enlight-
ened Critics .regulate the Sentence. Mr. VAN-
bENLIOFF was very warmly applauded, and we
hticip,ate much from his future efforts.
TUEATRICAL.--The English Opera House an-
nounces Soiriles Amusunles for the Christmas
Ilolidays. We know of no Theatre where we
/lave passed more amusing evenings„ and we have
no. doubt that the indefatigable industry, for
which this house is remarkable, will produce
some striking and original novelty;
The new Theatre in Exeter is now so .nearly
finished,' that it will be open in the first week in
January. It is said to equal in elegance and ac-
commodation -any building of the kind out .of
-London.

RICHMOND CONCERT.—The Annual Concert at
this place, under the direction of Dr. Smith, was
given at the Assembly Room at the Star and
(tarter Tavern, ott'Saturday evening list. The
instrumental band was composed of some of the
-srst performers of the
,metropolis, and ably led
'37-Cramer. A violoncello concerto by Lindley
l'as given in the best style, as was also a bril-
liant trio .of Beethoven, by Miss Smith, Messrs:
Ireland anti Lindley, for the pianoforte, flute,
and bass, and universally admired. The Pe-
Irides performed their Echo Piece on the French
horns with much effect, and Miss-Smith executed
°lf the harp some difficult and elegant variations
13n the favourite air of " Donald" with great pre-
cision.and taste.' The vocal parts were well sup-
ported by Misses Carew, Paton, and M..Begrez,
who. interspersed the scientific compositions of
the Italian school with some of the most favourite
simple' English ballads of the day. A grand effect
'Was produced by the unexpected
°performance of
God save the King," as a finale, by not only
the band, both vocal and instrumental, but the
audience joining heartily in.the chorus. At the
oriclusion, 'the applause was unparalleled.--
Among the numerous and fashionable auditors,
Ivere—

Lard Sidmouth and family, Mr. Hiley Addington, and the
M is-es Addington Ladies Calthorpe, Campbell, Stuart,
I,buiet:;and3 families, Sirs Dundas, Kay, .1. Copley;

StC. •

We have authority to state that the Board of
Directors of the Chamber of Commerce and Ma-
bufactures in this town have addressed a Memo-
rial to the Earl of LlvrnrooL, requesting some
chntnunication on the present political relations of
the country with the kingdOtnof Naples, and the
ocurity of British property there.—(Manchester
Chronick.)

The Right Rev. Dr.•TpAiLINE, now Bishop of
,
inehester, who for so many; years held the va-
luable deanery of St. Paul's, has most munificent-
presented 20001. to the Chapter for the pur-
litase of a painted window for that cathedral.

POETRY.

TO JULIA,
PREPARING FOR HER FIRST SEASON IN-TOWN.

(From the Etonian, No.
JULIA, while London's fancied bliss
Bids you despise a We like this,
While and itajer you leave,
For hopes, that flatter to, deceive,
You will not scornfully refuse,
(Though dull the theme, and weak the Muse)
To look upon my line, and hear
What Friendship sends to Beanty's.-ear.

Four miles from Town, a neat abode
O'erlooks a rose-hush, and a road ;
A paling, clean'd with constant care,
Surrounds ten yards of neat parterre,
Where dusty ivy strives to crawl
