THE THEATRE.

Et:c.t.isn OPERA 110 USE.—The Opera en:qtled
The .inzericous was first represented at this rhea.
tre about seven years ti:4o, with a considerable
degree of theatrical and musical strength, having
been supported by such Performers a. D,)wTotc,
JoliNsToNE, I`,TATTFIEWS, BRAFIAM, and Mrs.
MouNTAIN. The Piece was revived last night
in considerable force, and tVaS well support-
ed. It con t ail's some passages of the terrific
kind, which excite a strong interest, and they
are well relieved by those of a comic and lu-
dicrous nature. The °ppm tnnity presented hr the
continuance of the NATIVE AMERICAN WARRIORS
in the Metropolis natural;y suggested the proprie-
ty of the revival, and it must be acknowledged
that these men adapt themselves with extraordi--
nary ease and ability to the usages of the English
Stage.. The piece was much indebted to the
exertions of Miss CAREW in Lodina, Miss KELLY
fn Louisa, and Miss J. STEVENSON in Chillabale.
HARLEM also in Double, CFIATTERLEY in the Irish
Poet, BARTLEY, PEARMAN, and indeed all the Per-
fotmers, exerted themselves zealously in their re-
spective characters. Several of the airs were en-
cored, and the piece was throughout warmly ap-
plauded by au audience that filled the Theatre.

The NEWCASTLE THEATRE was recently let by
auction, and the best bidder being Mr. DECAMP,
late of Drury-Lane Theatre, he has of course be-
come the Manager. Mr. H. KEMBLE (son of
Mr. S. KEmaLF), who was one season at the Hay-
market Theatre, and has since performed with
'success at 'seVeral Provincial Theatres, and his
Wife, who hal displayed her tine musical powers
this season at the English Opera House, are to,
join the Company. Mr and Mrs. C. KEMBLE
will, no doubt, lend a helping hand to the new
Manage:, as be is so nearly related to them.

'THEATRICAL Row.—Our Theatre opened for
the Assize week on Monday night, and presented
a scene of uproar heynnd any thing we have ever
before witnessed here.--Mr:• BENNETT, ‘lO,
will be remembered, bad incurred ti►e displeasure
of the audience a few nights prior to the close of
the last season, came forward, on the above even-
ing, previous to the commencement of the Play,,
and addressed the audience;—he was received on
his entrance with much applause,. and heard with
attention ; but his speech was considered, by the--
major part of his auditory, as rather a defence of
his conduct than an apolOgy, and he left the
stage, followed by loud marks of disapprobation.
Mr. SANDFORD (rite Manager) was then called
for, and desired to inform him that a further apo-
logy was expected. The flay shortly after com-
menced, and all was quiet until Mr. B. appeared
as Soto (in the Comedy of She IVou'd and She
You'd Not), in the first act ; here ti►e tumult be-
came violent, and continued to the end of the
scene. The Manager was again called for, and
informed, that nothing, then, short of a written►
apology would be accepted ;—when, after repeat-
ed endeavours on his part to allay the-storm, he
finally returned with an answer from Mr. B.
that he had no further observations to make."
The disturbance continued for nearly two hours"
and the performance was at length suffered to pro-
ceed, on the Manager promising that M. Ben-
nett's name should not appear in the Bills again
until a reconciliation had taken place.—(,Exeter.
