The May-day of Saturday had more of titefem-
blance, than the fubliantial joys, which that blyth-
forne anniverfary had ufually brought to the foot,
:ribs for with their humane Patronefs, Mrs.
Mowvaous, vanithed from them the more folid
comforts of her roaft-beef, and plum pudding !
On Saturday night Madame Race xis a, the wife
of the rich banker at Paris, was at the Opera, and

number of perfons that attended from all pans,
it bids fair to rival the famous Club at Bibery.

DRURY•LANI THSATRI.—On Saturday a gen-
tleman of the name of DWYER, lately of the York
Theatre,appeared forthe firft time on the boards of
this Theatre, in the very interefting part of Bekour,
in the UV hursass, to which he gave a force and
animation throughout that have not,for tome time,
been difcernible in the anatomical exertions of the
comic gentlemen of this theatre ! Mr. DWYER
polTelres a handfome perfon, and a very expreflive
fet of features; his deportment, alto, is altogether
graceful and unembarraffed, unlefs when he fome-
times falls inadvertently into an imitation of the
particular He and manner of Lawn, which we
would recommend to him as much as poffible to
avoid. The applaufe he experienced on Saturday,
from the beginning to the end of the play, muff
have bten highly gratifying to his feelings as a
ftranger : indeed it was fuch as ought to fupport
his claims, in fpite of all the influence that may
(and probably will) be excited againft him. In
general, the comedy was got up in a'very flovenly
way.
