DEURY-LANE.—Mr. KEAN'S popularity, .com-
bined with his•appearance in parts which he had'
never before/performed, drew an overflowilig an-
(hence last' Hight to this Thea•re. The fist part
was Alexander the Great; and though his figure is
not heroic, yet, by giving effect to certain pis-
sages; and by the splendour of his attire, he came
off very . well. His, second performance was
Sylvester Dagertrood, and
.though much allow-
ance ought to be made for the licence of a benefit
night; yet, however
,his/eaiiiirg and hissotnerscis
might please the galleries, they were by ho means
creditable to his rank in .the Theatre, and the
popularity which he has :required. Irs third
performance Was Paul, in Pant and Virginia, and
as all these eMnplicated exertions were to gratify
his friends and admirers, we shall make no churlish
objections. The play wasbrotight forward with
g,redt niagnificence, and the horses introduced in
the rriuniplial entry of. ....11exander constilueti

and Mrs. Rotinsisolv and Mrs BARTLEY gave clues
support to Siatirci and Roxana.

COVENT GARDE:V.—The Duke and Duchess of
Casniatoca, the LANDGRAVE of HESSE-CASSEL,
and the liironess HEDERMAN, at:ended the re,
presentation of The School fur ScOndal last
night. As we understand that this popular Co-
medy has been translated into French anti Ger-
maty,,its main incidents and characters were pro-
bably intelligible to the distinguished foreign visi-
tors. If so, they must have been highly gratified
by the spit ited personation of Charles by
KEMBLE, the smooth hypocrisy of Mr. Young its
Joseph, and the active zeal of Miss O'Neill in
Lady Teazle.. The Royal Visitors were received
with great applause; particularly the Duchess of
CAMBRIDGE, who most condescendingly testifiett
her serve of the reception. The house was well
attended.
