THE THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.

The Play of Pizarro was performed last night with
the same cast of characters as on the preceding Mon-
day. WALLACK played Rolla with very great effect.
The Ballet of Cinderella was performed for the fi st
time this season, and introduced some very pretty
dancing, and some very pleasing music. The Enchanted
Courser closed the amusements of the evening.

HAYMARKET.
The. Hypocrite was performed at this House last
night, and Limns's inimitable Maw worm appeared to
have lost none of its merit by repetition. The rest of the
charactes have been already noticed in general terms,
and were well received. The Marriage of Figaro fol-
lowed. The auJience was numerous, and may justify
a belief that the Faihionables are beginning to return
to Loudon.

We understand their Royal llighnes:es the Dukes of
You and CLARENCE will honour the Civic Banquet with their
presence. this day.
The Duke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE, with their
children, have returned to Hanover in good health.
Lord BRANDON has compounded for his tithes with
the parishioners of Castle Island, for 5001. a-year, as has also the
Rev. B. Drienr, for the parishes of Caher, Kill.uane, Anna, Bally. ,1
nahalisk, and Cloherhreim. There are now but few parishes in
the county of Kerry which have not availed themselves of the pro-
viDions of this salutary Acs.
THE GUARDS CLus.—The space now cleared at the
corner of St..lanies's-street, is intended for the erection of a new
Club House for the Officers of the Guards, who have now a small
establishment opposite. The building will be in accordance with
Wilma's, to which it will join, and the interior is to yield to none
in elegance and accommodation. _

The nen, Comedy to be acted at Covent-Garden
Theatref called " Woman never Vest ; or, the Widow of Carte/di," is
we understand, altered and adapted for the Stage by Mr.Ps.aticntrr,
from a Pl.sy written by Wii.t.tax Rooney, in the reign of JAMES I.
called " d nmo Wonder, a Woman never Vest." Rosner was him-
self an actor, and one of the c'mpany of players belonging to the
Ptince of Wales. lie was a wit and a bon vivant, whose society
was courted by the literary men of the time. Ile performed the
part of the Clown in his own Play, a character which we suspect
will be as.igited to BI.MCHAIp. The Widow is drawn a person of
commons wealth, and a perfect stranger to care. A curious inci-
dent in this comedy is borrowed from Ilerodotus' story of Poly-
crates, iii his Thalia t and is likewise told by old Fuller in his Wor-
thies, viz. the circumstance of the Widow's (who, we suspect, will
be personated by Miss CiiEsvea) dropping a valuable ring in the
water, whilst crossing the Thames, which was afterwards found in '
the belly of a fish, purchased at Billingsgate by the lady's cook.
There are man. pruriences and warns exptessions in the original
Comedy, which we suppose the adapter will expunge, in deference
to the taste of a more fastidious age.
