THE THEATRES.

-;•-• The Fashionable Lover,_ an
amusing and nOt uninteresting production of the
, late Mr. CUMEERLAND, though certainly not to
be classed with his best dramatic Works, was re-
vived last night at this Theatre. It had ori-
ginally the support of BARRY, in Aubrey, and
Mrs. BARRY, in AvuSta, with the assistance of
other excellent Performers of the time. It
was at least respectably si:pported last night,
and instifieS the Managers in the merimrions
principle which they seem to have adopted, of
bringing forward old works of sterling merit ra-
ther than flimsy novelties. Miss Aubrey had a
most interesting 'representative in Mrs. (VEST,
now decidedly the Must simple and pathetic
actress -on the tomfOn boardt.... 15ENootiOn's
Mortinfer was marked by manly sense. The
same may truly be said Of HENRY KEMBLE'II
Tyrrelt. Mrs. flaatoi,VE kave,agood portrait of
the vulgar city wife, and Arts. ORGER of her Un-
feeling, or rather envious and malicious daughter.
'fbe part of Dr. Druid is mere snrplusage, and
ha's -itath4ig to do with the Pot; but was well
sunported by GaTTltt. H. J'OnNsi.oli gave Colin
M'Cliftia with charaCteristic truth, but 'the more
accurate is the .pronunciation of those two cha-
racters, the more unintelligible are they to
the audience in general. Powt.t.'s Aubrey,
like his perfO'rniatices in general, was judi-
cious and marked by feeling. The part of
Lord Abbe'villt is so Contemptible, that his refor-
mation is hardly creditable"; it had a Spirited sup-
port from PEic;LEY. TheComedY was well received.
In the farce of WSIYOuse anti I, in whiehllaitLE.t,
OXEERiii, Mrs. iliatowa, and Mrs. HUGHES,
appeared in witch advantage, a Mr. YA'ArroLD
(~e wish he had changed this titicontli name)
performed the part of NH, and, in singing as
well as acting, he seems to be the best of the re-
cent Provincial importations.
CoveNT-GARDEN.—The Barber of Seville, and
Tile Miser, were repeated last night, and Mrs.
DickoNs and Mr. FAhaEN were equally suece,Sl6l
in their respective characters..

EDINBURGH TH EATft E. -oi, Srsturtiay evening
Ite season coneltitleti with the spectacles Of 16-
sinson Crasoe: Captain Cook, and tile fat ce of Kill-
__

in g no Murder, for t h'e he .cfit of the Indian %Vat--
riots. .At the conclitsitin of Killing no Murder;
Mr. W. AIUBRA? appeared, anti when the ap-
pliittie which attended his entrance concluded, de-
livCretl, as nearly as we can recollect, the follow-
ing Address:—
LADIES AND “ENTLEMElsl,—this evening' terminates the
plinth season Ihat we have had the honotir of being employed
in your service, and though it has not been a stitces§fnl one,
yet be assured we are not the ,less gratefully oblitfed to those
who, during its continuance, have deemed our efforts worthy
the hnuotir of their patrontqte.
I should not, Ladies and Gentlemen, farther occutoy vour
time, were it not my duty to contradict the report that 'Arts.
Henry Siddons had quitted this Theatre, and accepted the
etigaglementofieryd her in The rumour's unfounded.
Mrs. Siddons's visit to England hai been rendered necessary
by considerations connected with her:health, and as there are
prospects of its re-establishment, I believe we may promise her
resumption of her professional duties at this Theatte iii No-
vember next; by which Period many altefations will have been
carried into effect, which, we hope, will ant only be consi-
dered as imprdrenients fn the internal_ appearatice of the
Theatre, but as additions to the comforts of the audience.
The house will he entirely repainted, and illuminated with
gas, on time plan adopted in the Theatre Royal Covent-gartltn,
and various spectacle's have been and are in active prepara-
tion, *herein the most celebrated artists of that The4tre have
been employed. The Ivarindi alterations contemplated Will,
we trust, lie completed by Saturday the 14th of November,
until whet', Ladies and Gentlemen, we very respectfully take
Our leavVe._

his Address *at frequently interrupted by the
lou'd applauses of the audience, but when the in-
tended return of Mrs. HENRY SIDDONS was ati-
nounted; the rapturous HIM repeated tumults of
approbation which -btirit forth, evinced, in the
most eatifying Manner, the very high respect
*entettained by the Edinburgh public for that
Lady's talents. We regiet that the past season
has not been successful, but have little doubt that
the spirited exertions announced for the ensuing
canipaigti, will amply compensate for the i'eveiies
of the present. ,
