CovENT-GArtmis.,--Last night the Comedy of ne i
Provoked Husband was perforated ; the part of Lady '
Townley, fur the first time at this Theatre, by Mrs. I
I) Avlsoa, who was equally as successful' as on her
fi?st appearance in Lady Teazle; and we cannot but
congratulate the Propnetors on having made so valu-
able
an acquisition to their Establishment. Mr. C.
flemaut played Lord Townley, and, by his acting,
n!Forded powerful support to the Piece. He gave an
accurate an spirited representation of the man of
ftshion.--After the Play, the Opera of The Barber
If Seville was performed, in which Miss M. TREE was
introduced to a London audience, in the character of
Rosina. The fame of this young Lady has lung been
established at Bath, and from which place she now
comes to the Metropolis. Common report has spoken
highly of her talents, and, on this occasion, common
report has stopt short of real fact. Miss TREE pos-
sesses an elegant figure, a beautiful face, and a man-
ner and carnage which qualifies her to support the
character of a Lady of fashion ; to these she adds the
important advantages of a voice possessing peculiar
sweetness, and an extent of science and execution,
which places her at once in the first rank of her pro-
fession as a vocal performer. Notwithstanding all
the disadvantages which invariably attach themselves
to a first appearance, Miss TREE last night gave her
songs,in a style which ellicited the most enthusiastic
applause from the audience. Several were encored,
and it was only a f('eling of humanity towards the
fair debutant which prevented the audience from re-
quiring a repetition of every one. The song, ~ May
and December can never agree," accompanied by
herself on the piano-forte, afforded a rich treat to
every lover of vocal harmony. That and a Bravura
in ithe second act, were rapturously encored. Her
announcement for the character of Patty, in the Opera
of The Maid of Me Mill, for this evening, was re-
ceived with the strongest expressions of approbation.
pa YMAIIKET THEATRE.—The Comedy of Pigeons
71 a Crows has been eminently successful at this Thea-
tr . It is 'certainly a remarkably pleasant produc-
ti4n ; and the Public have to regret, that its run so
warly approaches its termination,- there being but
two more nights ; as this interesting little Theatre
closes, we believe, forever, next Monday evening.
SURREY THEATRE.—The new Piece of The Presi-
dent and the Peasant's Daughter, and the grand Ro-
mance of Richard the First, continue to attract bril-
liant and crowded audiences, notwithstanding the
gveat numbers of persons gone to the different wa-
uring-pl4ces.
