THE THEATRES.

COVENT-GARDEN.—The tragedy of Virginius,
so well represented last year at this Theatre, by
MAcILEADY irl rirginius, C. KEMBLE in leililts,
and 'Nan Y in I)entatus, was sustained with equal
ability and effect' by those excellent performers
last night. Some opposition was again made
aOinst the Dancers, but was soon quelled by a
liberal and decided majority of the audience.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.— The benefit of
ThaLEV took place last night, and he is too able
and too popular a favourite to have failed in at-
traction. The play was The Devil's Bridge.
1-1 RLEY gave some successful imitations, and the
whole went off with applause.

The Opera of In le and Yarico (founded, we
believe, originally on facts, and recorded by the
celebrated Annisox in the Spectator,) bas al-
ways been an acknowledged favourite of the
Public ; and a new lark() was ever, in our me-
mory, an object of' attraction to the Theatre.—
Miss CAREW, a meritorious young Actress, is, we
find, to attempt that affecting character at the
Theatre Royal, English Opera House., and we
do not know that it could find a more interesting
representative ;'her pleasing voice and pure taste
are precisely suited to the delightful melodies
composed by the late Dr. ARNOLD for this Opera.
The remaining characters are to be very strongly
cast—HARLEY, B.‘RTLEY, PEARMAA, BROAD-
HURST, &c. &c. and that 'well-known favourite,
Mrs. BLAND, who affords her services as Wozoski,
promise a good evening's entertainment.
