THEATRES.

THitaTRS.
The Opera of La Gana Ladra was performed on
Siturday night, when Signor GALLI, the celebrated
cent made his first appearance in this country,
in the part of &nand°. The powers and quality of
his voice, together with his acquirements in the art,
bale eined -him the reputation of being the greatest
bas' stager of his time. He was received with a Cor-
diality which indicated that his fame was not unknown
to 20 English audience. When GALLI is first heard,
the great power. of the voice excites a feeling of its un.
wieldiness, and it has an occasional nasal. toile which is
vet agreeable to the ear. But when he is once carried
into the business of the scene, it is impossible not to
feel that an actor and singer of the very first order is
before you,--Miss ATroet repeated her very clever per.
formance of Nurette, and Da BCONIS surpassed himself
in the serious music of the Podesio. He sang in the
concerted pieces with no less energy than delicacy, as
the different sentiments of the music required. Madame
Beam succeeded VESTAL% in Pippo, and acquitted her-
self much to the credit of her tatents.—The Opera was
crowded, and GALLI was called forward after the fall
of the curtain.

DRURY-LANE.
The Opera of The lave was performed on Saturday
evening with encreased effect. Miss STEPHENS was
extremely interesting in the Pair Captive, and sung the
beautiful ballad of Pity the Slave exquisitely. BRAHAM4
as copula Malcolm sung Kelvin Grove;.Arise, Britan-
xia, and The Thistle of Scotland, in his best style, and
elicited rapturous pluudits. Comma's Gambia is an ex-
celltnt performance. After the opera we were trea:ed
with an old friend with a new face, in an Interlude cal-
led The Two stake a Pair, which, be it known, is no
other than ,Watch MaLing, which was performed three
or four years ago at the Haymarket Theatre.—Coopan,
BOW?, Hoowart, and Mrs. YATES exerted themselves
successfully, and LAPORTE was very clever as the
roguish valet.
COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.
Saturday night Mr. Etworrr took his Benefit, and
we were happy to see this house so fully attended—a
just compliment to the services of this old favourite of
she Public.-7 he Belle's Stratagem was performed, for
the purpse of introducing Mass FOOTE again to our
notice. She looked and played the part sweetly, and
was warmly received and applauded throughout; her
song and dance were both encored. Between the fourth
and fifth acts of the Comedy, Miss Pesiow sang The
Macgregor gathering, in a manner that elicited a unani-
mous encore. We never heard her in finer voice ;
indeed bb e seemed inspired by the rapturous recep-
tion she met with. A Concert, in which the Misses
CANsi and PHILLIPS sang, followed; and the Romance
of Cron wound up the evening's entertainment, in
which the hero, Cylkon, was ably personated by Ma-
dame Vasrats.—hattan was admirable itn the old
Justice, and Miss PATON every thing that could be
wished in Sylvia : her naive acting, and charming sing-
ing, made it a most perfect performance. She was
rapturously encored in Follow, follow over Mountain,
which she introduced—and in UFs, take this Nosegay
The whole performance went off with the greatest eclat.
ADELPHI THEATRE.
Saturday evening was the last of the Adeiphi season,
and a more prosperous one, from the beginning to the
close, is not recorded in theatrical annals. The House
was, as usual, crammed full to the ceiling ; and at the
end of the second piece, Mr. Tatum adhesbed the au-
t:ielce nearly in the taallossing words:—

hairs AND G/DITLIMICIeIt is my duty, on this evening,
and a Owing but anxious duty I feel it, on the termination of our
second season, to offer you my own, and my partner's, sincere
and warm ackowledgments fur the unremitting encouragement
midi which you have lowered all our endeavours to provide
fur your entertainment. I may affirm, without a boast, that all our
novelties, through your great kindness, have been uniformly sac-
awful; often, indeed, through that kindness, successful beyond
our most sanguine expectations ; and I hope it will be considered
so allowable and harmless pride to say, that we have succeeded in
establishing here, one feature of dramatic novelty, and that the
public voice has agreed, in consequence, to confer upon the Adelpki
the title of The Nautical Theatre. The word" nautical" is a sound,
proud and grateful to the ears of English Managers ; and I respect.
fully trust that our past exertions will be received u an acceptable
pledge that no future exertions will be wanting to merit a tontine•
ante of your kinds's&
" On Mr. Yates's part, I haves denbledebt of acknowletsgment
to make—first, as any }cant labourer in the concern, and, secondly,
on his ow individual account. • Your faeces, he bids me say, has
conk med and exceeded the rejmutlei of his emertidennent—he is
patella, most vateful,and be leaves the sincerky et his gratitude
t• he proved by his future exertions.
" Ibs performers, Ladies and Gentlemen, are, es zonal, anxious
that this opportunity should not be omitted, to express all andi
each their respective thanks fir the kind manner in which you have
upheld and rewarded all their efforts 11 your service. And now,'
Ladies and Gentlemen, we all most cordially and respectfully wish
ynu health and happiness, and, till October next, bid you farewell."
THEATRE ROYAL, DUBLIN.
The following Address, spoken on Monday night last
with so much applause, by Mr. KLAN, in the costume
of Alanienduidd, Prince of the Huron Indians, which
title was conferred upon him by a full assembly of the
Tribe, at Quebec, 1826, was written, we understand, at
his request, by our talented fellow- citizen, Mr. WicLust
KtITLAND.—Deblin Correspondent.
The Drama o'er, and closed the tragic scene,
&bold an Indian Chief io Edmond Kean a
Ya joke!—no mimic part by me assumed,
I come, a Hum bee, with HUMS Maoan plumed.
Before I quit your hospitable wand,
Where liberal hearts 'attend the liberal hand,
3lly soul's strong wish, to justice—nature, true,
Is to proclaim my gratitude to yes !
To you, who elaerish'd first each young endeavenr.• :
And unooth'il the way to future fame and favour; -
And, firm as oaks amid the granite's veins,
•
That generous itiendship to the lost remains!
Haply, an envious cloud pased o'er my day,
And venom'd tongues would tea my .. name" away ;
Your plaudits raied this sinking heart, and then
Your favoar'd Rickard was himself again !"
Falsehood, the child of Envy, bade me stray,
And o'er the wide Atlantic wind my way
To great Colombia—happy may she be—
.. Great let ale call ber"—for she harbour's! me—

---
Advanced the Ages 'gaunt malignant darts,
And framed a bulwark of most generous hearts.
F.'en there, fraternal friendship held me fat,
While many an honour err my brow was east,
And tribes, card savage, o'er my accents bung,
When SMAKSPitAIIeS magic lay inspied my tongue--
But still my pulsing heart, where'er I'd roam,
Would lead me here—for here I am " at home."
In truth, your Bard, sweet Gotosamm, bath espreul
Ibe lines in which esy feelings stand confined :
" In all my wand'rings round this world of care,
In all my griefs—and I have had my share—. -
Wbate'er of change, or chance, or clime I see;
Air grateful bean, dear Erin! turns to thee;"
" Remembrance" of the kindness I have seen
Shall, like thy shamrock; live foe ever green;
Whereer I go, my pregnant heart shall tell
How much I owe—to all—dear friends, farewell!
