DRURY LANE THEATRE.

The long talked of Comedy " new revived," flea
an old Play, entitled the Beggar's Daughter of Bethnal
Green, was on Saturday produced at this house.—
About the middle of the third Act, dissent had neatly
approached its climax, when Mt. Coors,' came forward
and bcspoke the further indulgence of the audience.—
' A performance of this kind, he said, was not the soft
of a day, and if the audience would give it a patient
hearing to the end, he pledged himself it should be
withdrawn if their sentence should be against it. T. e
house, which, by the way, was full to an overflow is
every part. did wait till the curtain dropped. Mr,
Cootza then came forward, and after waiting some
time for a hearing, announced Ihe Stranger, and other
Pieces, for Monday next. He then said. "Oa Tuesd.7
evening, Ladies and Gentlemen, have I your ptrmir
don ?" A loud and very general shout of No;
mixed *ith some vehement expressions of encourage.
ment and applause, completely drowned what "to
would have said," and Mr. COOPER withdrew—himsel:
We have since been informed that it is to be repea:eJ
with curtailments to-morrow.

The Piece.was concocted by Mr. liCwovetts, the is.
thor of Viiginiue, from one written by Joni DAY,
drartiatist of the Elizabethan age ; the original was called
The Blind Beggar of Bethnal Green, the story of which
is too w ell known to our readers to admit of repitit os
here. The dialogue, plot, and incidents of the Wes
'piece possessed much of the wit and intricacy of the
dramatic performances of the age in which it WAS
written. But Mr. DAY is not for our day. His quaint
catalogue of gallantry and love making, his lar-fetchel
allusions to Cupid and his darts, and allegories abet
,Gods and Goddesses, although they m'ght be eery
acceptable and orthodox in the days of a VirgioQueeno
are by no means fitted for the present improved Doom
upon this subject.

The performers did all in their power to preserve the
piece hom premature damnation. Lima, FAIMEN.
Comm, and Miss E. Tau (who personated the Beg-
gar's Daughter"), could not fail to give a fair dunce
to respectable authorship. The scenery was of consi-
derable beauty and splendour. The representation of
London Bridge, in 1600, was exceedingly good a d
accurate. The Royal procession of the maiden Quern "
numerous and splendid, and the dresses uncommool,
gorgeous. Mrs. FAUCIT was attired in the precise
cognate that belonged to her part, and she played it
with truly royal dignity. Comma was highly &
ute as Lord Wilford, and uttered his impassioned
sentiments with the greatest force. Miss E. Tees both
looked and acted the heroine admirably. Nothing
could be more delicate or affecting than her per romance.
That part of the dialogue which was audible had !0'
mush merit, that we have no doubt the Comedy "
repay attention in the closet.

The Deanery of Norwich has been conferred on the
Hon. and Rev. Giotto& Patt.s.w, A.M. Piebenduf
