KINGN 1 itEATII.EI--We are sorry to littottn
the public, that this ,Theatre was closed last
night in consequence of an execdtion on the.pre-
mises. The Manager gave notice °Vet the awn
as early as possible, but many persons were dis-
appointed who had attended. Where are the
Noblemen who are said to have been in treaty
for purchasing this property, when they could
suffer it to be subject to such disgrace, and ex-
pose the public to such disappointment!
DRURY-LANEe—III conformity to the notice

that this Theatre would open for an after.season,
that Mr. KEAN miglit go throngh his round of
characters before his departure for America, he
commenced with Richard the Third-last night,
and a.numerous audience' attended.' We never

have been among the chief 'adinirers of this
actor, but' we attended last night in order to
correct. or improve our :judgment, but • saw
nothing in his performance. that tended to alter
our opinion, which it rather tended to, confirm'.
He certainly, however, acted as well as ever, and
received almost an. 'equal tribute of applause from
his admirers. Mrs. WEST was an interesting
Lady Ann, and Mrs. VAGERTON was very respect-
able in the Queen. BooTH was -the Richman&

He was well received, and-acquitted himself very
well.

COBURG THEATRE.—Last night was presented
at this Theatre a new Musical Farce, which

had been long in preparation, 'called Giovanni
in the Country. This piece is entitled to great
praise, owing to the novelty with which
abounds, and in which Mrs. H. KEMBLE made
her debut with- great success; her voice is melo-
dious, and she sung several of her Songs with
great perfection. 'The piece was well received
by a crowded audience, and we doubt not it will
have a run for the, whole season, being one of Mr.
MoNC It I Er es* productions.

The Misses DENNtryr are now at the Glouces-
ter Theatre, where they have danced themselves,
into the good graces of their audiences. And, Miss
E. DE NETT made her debut as an actress iu the
character 'of Maria Darlington, in the farce of a
Roland for an Oliver.
