COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.

The Musical Drama of Guy Mannering was per-
formed last night. There were two new appearances:
Mr. FYNE, late of Drury-lane Theatre, perforated the
part of Henry Bertram; and Mrs. YATES, the Lady
who made her debut in Lady Macbeth, sustained that
of Meg Merrilies. Mr. PYSE was extremely well re-
ceived. 'He executed the songs incident to the cha-
racter in a very respectable manner; and acquitted
himself, upon the whole, in such a manner as was
highly satisfactory to the audience, and consequently
we may conclude, to those who speculated on his
professional merits.—Mrs.l'ArEs was eminently suc-
cessful. The conception of the wild being whose
qualities she was to represent afforded a convincing
proof of the facility with which she imbibes the spirit
of her author. She delivered the important passages
with much energy, and, especially in the last scene,
manifested the powers of a tragic actress with com-
plete success. Miss MATHEWS was the Lucy Bertram.
It was an undertaking of no small difficulty, after the
impression which Miss SrzenliNS had already made;
and it will probably be regarded as a sufficient proof
of the talent with which that difficulty was encoun-
tered, when we state, that in the favourite Air of,
" Hush thee, my baby!" Miss MATHEWS was encored.
The Melo-drama of Aladdin, or the Wonderful Lamp,
succeeded. This agreeable production went off with
the usual applause. The House was crowded.

Mr. WARE, the meritorious Leader of the Band at
Covent Garden Theatre, has resigned his situation, a
department which, he has filled for nearly 20 years,
with the greatest credit to himself and satisfaction to
the Public.
