the Noble Earl's health and many returns of the 29th

hour in the most agreeable manner.

THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE,.

The Critic (again well performed in all its parts),
faith Killing no Murder, and the new Pantomime, at-
tracted a Lull and elegant House last night; and the
whole of the performances went off with infinite eclat.

COVENT GARDEN. •
Love ix a Village was repeated at this Theatre last
night. Before the curtain rose, Mr. FARREN presented
himself, and announced to the audience, hat owing to
the severe illness of Miss KELLY, he bad to request
their indulgence to allow Miss Gowaan to fill her place.
They assented to this unanimously, and certainly had
no reason to repent of their choice, for we have seldom
seen this character better performed. Miss Goer/saris
acting was natural, easy, and at times very pathetic.
She did not attempt to move the audience by mere
crying or violence, or wild extravagant conduct; but
evidently displayed the feeling and spirit suited to the
character of Madge. She was much applauded. The
Pit, at the rising of the curtain, was quite full; and
bttore the commencement of the pantomime the other
parts were sufficiently thronged, The rest of the Opera
was performed in the same effective manner which gave
it so much eclat on a former night.
SURREY.
Last night a new piece, in two acts, was produced at
this Theatre, from the pen of a Mr. STAVIORD, which
evinced considerable power of imagination and know-
ledge of stage effect. Part of the plot is taken from the
opera of aari ; but this is atoned for by the introduc-
tion of Several new characters and situations. The part
of LIN* was played by G. RAYNER with great feeling.
Mrs. Firzwiu.rase sustained the part of the heroine
Susan, and her acting, which is always good, was last
night singularly effective. The last act was very power-
fully given. The piece was received throughout with
approbation, and given out by RAINER for repetition
this evening, and till further notice.

INGLISLI THEATRICALS IN PARIS, Dec. U.

howls and the entertainments of Thursday night (Ham-

)wand. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of ligitax

bad, and warady kind towards the more distinguished
artistes.
