• THEATRES.

Datrev-LANE.—This splendid edifice wat last night
again graced with a brilliant and crowded audience,
to witness the performance of the Tragic Play of
Pizarro, in which Mr. YOUNG sustained the character
of Rolla. This Gentleman's reputation in the part
has long been established : with the exception of the
individual in whose hands the character originally
was (Mr. KEMBLE), no one has ever approached near
him. His figure, voice, action, and style of decla.
mation, are all calculated to give effect to his deli-
neation of the Peruvian hero. His performance last
night was exquisitely fine. Miss EDMISTON appeared
for the first time this season—she resumed her pro-
fessional duties in the part of Elvira, with much suc-
cess. Mrs. %V. WEST'S Cora is a character peculiarly
well suited to her powers. The Play is got up with
much splendour of dress and scenery, and was ex-
tremely well received throughput.—Mr. WALLACK,
the performer, who met with so serious an accident
in America, was in one of the upper tiers of boxes.
He looked much thinner than when he went to Ame-
rica, and is yet rather lame—he finds it requisite to
have the aid of a stick to walk.

COVENT-GARDEN.—The Sleep Walker was acted
last night. YATES, as Somno, gave a variety of amusing I
imitations with great correctness and much humour,
and was most unanimously applauded. We are, how-
ever, sorry to add, his performance was a lame one,
for he appeared to suffer much more from his late
accident then when we saw him a few evenings ago
in Rob Roy. The Beggar's Opera. was then repeated.
Before the curtain drew up, Mr. CoNooa came for-
ward, and addressed the audience a 4 follows :
" LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—I ant requested to state, that
within these few hours, Miss PATON has been so severely intik.
posed, that it was thought it would be impossible for her to have
the honour of appearing before you. this evening. Nothing but
a sense of the duty which she owes to the Public and to the Pro-
prietors, could have induced her to leave her apartment this
evening. To fulfil that duty she has ventured to the Theatre in
direct opposition to the advice of her Physician. Miss Pawn
will come forward, but she fears it will not be in her power to
exert herself as she could wish. The management have, therefore,
desired me to step forward on her behalf, to solicit from you that
Indulgence which has never beim withheld on such occasions,
and Miss PArois throws herself on your kind candour and
consideration."

The Play then began, and Miss PATQN, though
evidently suffering from ill health, acquitted herself
in the most satisfactory maimer. When she sung her
indisposition seemed no more, and the House listened
with unmixed delight to those powerful but, delicate
harmonies which this favour ite Syren is so competent
to furnish. The new Melo Drama of Ali Pacha

lowed, and being played closer, the scenery moving
with greater accuracy, and the Dramatis Persona
being more alt fait than on the first night of repre-
sentation, the Piece went off with 'increased effect
and success.--The House was well attended.

Sir FRAN GardenClS BURDETT visited Covent araen
Theatre on Saturday evening, and appiared in excel-
lent health.
" What a reform has Mr.ELLISTON effected here!"
said a well-known dramatist, as he stood admiring
the numerous mirrors with which the Saloon at
Drary-lane Theatre is enriched. " Reform, do you
call it ?" said a friend who was with him. " Why,
yes, to be sure I do;' has he not made the Saloon a
place of reflection, and that is what I never knew it
before." " And it is strictly dramatic too," rej.ined
bis friend, ogling some dashing belles who had just
entered the Saloon ; " for it holds the mirror up to
Nature!'"
