THEATRES.

DRURY-LA NIL
This Theatre was elegantly attended last night. Mr.
YOUNG played Picini with Amazing power and variety.
I !lead of his performance having the wearying effect
01 a thrice•told tale, it was full of freshness, and marked
by a corhumnsate excellence, which more than comprn•
smed for 1 ck t,f novelty.
Alio the Tragedy. and the dance of The Birth Day,
the Melodrama of Therese or. the Orphan of Geneva,
was performed. Thelma of Therese on this occasion
ups assigned to Miss E. TIM. It is no seflection on
the abilities of this intelligent actress to say that Melo-
drama not her forte, and that in her efforts Ism night
she fell considerably-short other predecessors, especially
of Miss KELLY. Her Therese. was like the author's—a
piece of unmitigated misery ;it presented the vet y scale

delight in steing an utterly powerless but lovely female

lovently ipplauded. Mr. COOPER was Carwin, and.

respectable as the Pastor; and Mr. Les was extremely
efficient as the young Quint.

than his usual spirit and success. '
After the Play, the long announced Sublime and
Beautiful vas performed. The story is Sounded on the
old Fsrce of The Sultan, and certainly the new vet sion
f the story does not improve the Piece either in the
it and interest of the dialogue, or in the effect which
tl.e several incidents arc calculated to produce. The
principal alteration consists in the introduction of some
exceedingly pretty songs and music by Mr. A. Las;
and the as+ignment of the melody to the keeping of
Madame Vi IRIS, Miss HUGHIOII, and Mr. WOOD .--
