HAY MARK6I' THEATICE.

This theatre opened forthe season last evening.
The Merry Wives of Windsor was the play, and the
nece•sity of any dotailed observation won its perform-
ance is superseded by the familiarity of all play-going,
people wish the excellence of Doseroa's Sir John
staff—the best by tar at present r,n Nse "stat,e.. and the
no lets admirable excellence Y f Madame amen, in
the display of the engaging qualities of Mrs. Byrd.
She sang 44 When it is the time of night," in the second
letovith admirable effect, and was rapturously encored
in it.' The tither miligs all uted to her in the play were
lof equally powerful and tasteful execution, particularly
her duet wth Mrs. T. HILL, “ All that glitters." Mr.
J. Russzt.L, as Master Wender, was highly repecta-
b e; b:st the trading novelty and attraction of the night
was Mrs. litistnv, from the Dublin Tbeatre, who made
her first .appearance in Cowslip, in O'Kaasx's farce cf
the Agreea6k Sarprise. Her previtius reputation had
led us to form high expectations of her perform ince,
and it gives us pleasure to add, that these expectations
wrre fully realised. Mrs. HUMSv is a very pretty wo-
man : she is of the middle stature, possesses an elegant
figure, and to a perfectly litiy-like deportment unites a
most sweet and engagingexpressi,in of countenance.—
Her voice is clew and agreeable, and there is an arch-
ness and humour in her tones and looks; particularly
interesting. Mr. J. AU3SZLL played Lingo—he is a
very clever actor. 4: new pastoral ballet was intro-
,ducec!after the plat. The attendance was numerous
and, fishßnable. • •
