LW a Tstitailtaea. The. lit/eia. last night, might
boast
.frif.: brilliant a display of rank and fashion as
on .evening during the present season ; and consi-
dering the Theatre closes on Satcrdiy. it it rather an
extraordinary circumstance. The first act of WIN-
?ID'S beautiful Opera. i, 11 Rath di Peileffeixa," was
ably pourtrayed in the parts allottid to Folsom,
Vas-rats, Bloat, and. Li tASaltUtt. The Spanish ,
Divertisement was revived with increased ruetesi
and elect. MILANI; akesual, danced divinely, and
the V2STRIS, the Barrssrm, and the Lanes, shared
their customary and well merited applause.
HaystAnzer.—This Theatre was last night *ho-
noured with a visit from their Royal Highnesses the
. uke and Duchess of Gtoncesma. The stage box
an the left side of the Hous6 was tastefully fitted up
for their reception, and immense crowds of elegant
Ladies and Gentlemen filled every part before the
curtain where it was possible to penetrate. At seven
o'clock their ROYAL Htonuessts arrived, before the
beginning of the Comedy: they were received by the
shouts and waving of hats of the audience, which
they acknowledged by graceful bowings. The Prin.
cess looked charmingly, in a dress in which taste and
Magnificence were skilfully blended. The Dike wore
the Star of the Garter. and looked also exttediely
well. Their Royal Highnesses seemed in the best
spirits, 'hnd well pleased with the warm greetings of
the audience. Immediately on their arrival, the cur-
tain rose, and the Whole company appeared drawn
up.est the stage, in full dress, and wearing white fa.
yours, to sing d 4 Gon save the KING." The follow.
ing appropriate stanza, written by Mr. Cruises', on
the occasion, was introduced *ith the greateit effect:
Great Games ! thy People's voice
Now hails thy datighhtee choke,
Till echoes ring ;
This shout still rends the air, ,
May she prove bless'd and fair,
Long the the Noble Pals !
COD, save the KIN. I This happy allusion to the Royal Pair was most
rapturously received and applauded; but a circum-
stance to which the feelings of the audience were even
still more alive, raised that applause almost to en-
thusiasm : her Royal Highness the DUCHESS was ob-
served to be deeply affected, and to shed tears, at
hearing the name of her father in the first verse.
The tender idea with which this sensibility was asio-
ciated was instantly caught by the spectators, and
their long and continued cheers at once recognised and
applauded the.filial affection from which it proceeded.
When '4 Goo save the KING" was over. and the con-
gratulator y demonstrations of the audience had sub-
sided, their Royal Highnesses took their seat in front
of the box, and the amusing bustle of the now Co-
medy began. The performer,. exerted themselves
%nit additional ardour, and the Royal Pair appeared
delighted, particularly the Princess, with Crodery,
who has introduced one or two additional lamenta•
tions since we last saw him : he says " the weather
has changed-we had used to have summer in July.
but now, (he supposes), we must wait till Christmas
for it." " The west end of the town is changed—
they are palling down Pall Mall and St. James's
Market, so that you see Carling-house at a distance."
They seemed equally pleased with MI% Tatar, in Blue
1 Devils, FAWCIITT'SLinp. and MII.DAVENPORT'SPrisi-
' sots Ratty Foal, in the 4rstemik Sorftrisee At the close
of die-latter, v Goo. say! the Kind* was- see g a ea,
Bond time-by the whole company on the stage. Their
Royal Highnesses then rose and bowed graciously
and repeatedly, whilst hats waved on every side, and
the applause and shouts of the audience testified the I
love and attachment which the whole country feel foi
the family of an aged and beloved King.
levatuss.—Last night the new Operetta called Old
Cettoote was repeated, and met with but an ;miff..
ferent reception from the audience. One person in 1
the Pit, who was rather vociferous in his opposition,
was pointed out by Mr. BARTLST to a person (seem.
ingly a Police Officer): this being noticed by several
around, Mr. BA.RTLEY, in the first scene o The Maid
and Mote, was assailed by a loud cry of "A pology !"
he immediately came forward, and addressed the
House in.nearly the following terms s
" Lim i s ANS Greenawalt...Au the double capacity of Stage
Manager and Performer, it is my duty readily to acknowleJge
any fault which toe audience may suppose to hare been com-
mitted; but being called upon by a single individual, who has
distinguished himself alone by decided tic position to the general
sentiments of this liousel respectfully conceive, that if any
apology is due it is from that person to the. Public.—(Cries' Name him! turn him oat l)'-if any thing furtisse is redreged,
I shall be mast turn to meet the Gentleman, or Ids friend; at
the conclusion of the piece. With every feeling of respect to the
audience, I beg to state, that further than this no man can go—
no man ought to go—farther than this I will not go."
Tbis Address was received with approbation, aid
the performances went on without further interrtipticon.
