DRURY-LANE.
There was last night A superabundance of cuteness.
moms, serious and comic, at this House. The Tragedy
of virgiaailas was followed by the lively Face of 4
Rowland for an Oliver, Iv hicklatter piece wits succeeded
by a new serious pantomime, denominated The Eavirilla
Chief and his Daughters. The hint for the plot of this
spun' out military Ballet is taken from that fertile
source of adventure and interest, the Guerilla corneae
,
Against the French during the Peninsular war, The
Guerilla Chief, Rimiest', is personated Dy Mr. Datum,
the renowned " pantaloon," who, on the present oc.
cation, leases off t•embling ; and his datighte,,,
Juarus and Bianca, a-e sustained by MI s. Nolte (the
dance') and Mrs. W. BARIMMOBE, from the coin

the haii-breadih e cares of the lima

'diers, thence rescued by his daughters, by wing
of their di,goise, artifices, and the actual sword
fighting of Bianca (Mrs. Battairmoal) with me of
the French troopers. These matters excite some
little interest with the aid r f effective action, military
music, and showy scenery ; and prepare the way for
a military ballet by Mr. Noble, which was very wee
arranged. The fcrtress in pot eAlon of the French,
and where the Chief is again teemed, is eventually
-captured by a " Ruse de gucrie," and thus .nr.i.ily to.
minatys the piece. It is a splendid Pantomime tar
Ballet. The performers exerted themselves effectually;
and instead of expressing any swing opinion either one
way or the other, the audience were glad to be enaSlet
to begin to quit die Theatre at ab,Jut " half past twdre
o'clock."

ADELPHt.
Last night a new Nautical Bullet*, entitled Mhos,
•r, the Lsje of a Sailor, was
s brought out. It hatig;
got up with an erne: ng deal of attention to its scenery,
&c. and with considerable success. The story pourtisys
some of the leading camas of NELSON% glorious life...
a character. which Mr. Tinny took: excee.fingly well,
and sustains with appropriate energy. Mingled with
the leading pants of Nrisow's professional life, are
very characteristic scenes of the “ Life of a tailor," in
Which Mr. T. P. Coors figures preeminently. His
Contests with the F,Aplimaux—his love for hit lass
Rachel (firs. Yarns)—his conduct on the decks wish
the Crew—and especiay his diming of the" Sailor's
Hornpipe" with the lovely Rachel, were all admirable
sip their way. The hiropipe was footed most excel-
lently, and so much with the natural air of a tailos, thee
the performance was jostly and loudly encored. The
ship's company afterwaCs had a right Teri,. dance
between decks. Mr. ‘Vtirtarsow, as a cocki:ey sailor,
Strati ,y Sackling, with Metropolitan lingo, and hi la,s
Molly Moonshine, Were 'Most acceptable company ; and
Mr. YATES was very advantageously introduced, when
the vessel is in poet, as Moses, an old Jew. It was et.
ceedingly well teceived ; the performers exerted then.
selves. ably ;And the crowded house, applaudingly ac.
knOwledged the excellence of their efforts. The pine
is written by the author of The tilot, andis well suited
to the abilities of the Adelphi Company.
SADLYR'S WELLS.—This theatre closed an unusually
long and profitable Season on Saturday evening, whoa
a farewell Address was delivered by Mr. T. Minis,
Stage Manager, and received with. very great applause.
