THEATRES.
FRENCH PLAYS, ST. JAMES'S.

Achard, the prince of vaudevillists, has Arrived. and
made his debut last evening as Jerome, in La Famille du
Fumiste, and Guillaume in Trianon. This last
(the original of Planche's Queensbury Fête), is a
delightful comedy, and reproduces those days
in which, to use the words of Burke, sensualism
lost half its guilt by being deprived of all its grossness.
Even the English public are well acquainted with Achard
in both these characters ; it is ther-`..ore unnecessary to
say more than that he was excellent as ever. The house
was well attended, and the elite of the beau monde were
there to welcome this favourite actor.
