DRURI=LANE THEATRE.

We congratulate di, Public on the revival a: this
Theatre of the elegant and lively Comedy of The
Sorokin: Husband. We hare seldom seen a Play of
this cast better got up in all its pans. Mr. POPE,
who has renewed his engagement here, played Strive
load in a style of easy dignity and propriety which no
other actor on the stage could give to it. Mrs. On-
ora's Mrs.Ssridhusd was exactlf what it ought to be.
Ot Mr. STANLItY'S Ranger we, upon the whole, think'
fa!osrably; though the character. which is one made
up' of hair-breadth Nears And dashing adventures,
rather than of wit or sentiment, is chiefly to he carried
off by an exuberance of animal spirits ; and in these
we do not think this actor excels. Yet sme of the,
scenes into which he is thrown by accident were very
, spinted, particularly that where he surprises Mrs.,
6wittland, mid afterwards Jaciatha, in their bed-cham.
. ben 1--bitd his general air and manner was easy and
good-binnoureil, though not gentleman-lske. Oar'
Old favourite Mrs. MARDYN, as Jacinth, spoke tke'
elaranseree very prissily and musically, and her shape',
Ins harmony itself. The Managers will do well to
It t hfr wear the breeches to the end of the chapter...-.
Mts. ALsce's chambermaid (Luton) was a clever
piece of scans —forward, bold, mischievous, laughing,
and more inviting than tempting. Ketonr's Taster
was quite as good in its way, which was more re-
markaikable for sheepishness and stupidity than im-
pudence or wit. Mrs. GLOVUeII Clarinda was lively
and interesting. Indeed the whole of the cast of
characters was entitled to commendation ; and we :e-
-gad this Play as a considerable addition to the stock
amusements of the town. No Soot No Soour fol-
lowed; in which Miss Cuntrr appeared, for the second
time, in Margaretta. This young Lady has a very
cherniing voice, which she uses with much judgment.
She is evidently well skilled, for her years, in music,
with a very correct taste and clear intonation(. es With
lowly suit" was encored. Miss Cuarrt seems al.
ready to be in great t4vour aith the Public. Frederick
was performed by Mr. T. Cooax, who is a scientific
singer and has a good voice.

Miss CAREW is among the dismissals from Covent
Garden Theatre. Mr. W um, the musical tutor, is
also discarded
new pantomime has been got op at the Mr-
minsbam Theatre, called the House that Jach Boa,
or, liarkgsin tattered aid aini, in which ELaws is the
Harkgaiss and Jones the Clews.
Friday the barnstaple Theatre opened with the
Comedy of The Ander, a Woman laps a Secret I and
the Afterpiece of The Purse. Thei highest commen-
dation is due to the judicious manager. Mr. Liz
the,. company is certainly selected with great dis-
eriMination.

Monday se'nnight, at Lanheene Nunnery, near St.
C.lnnab, a young lady, aged 23, was robed with the
usual .ceremonies at putting on those garments ;
the ceremony lasted nearly three hours. This is
generally done about six months prior to their taking
the veil.

A few d.lis ago a young plumber of Richmond,
for a wager of a pot of porter, run along the top of
the wooden railing of Richmond Green (which is
scarcely three inches in breadth, occupies a square of
about half a mile, and has a swing-gate at each
coruer,) in four minutes.
An Irish paper calls Belfast the Ainu of Ireland;
we suppose in the same aeon ass learned pig is called
by its owner. a Solomon or a Socrates.

A Dousrvur. Casa.—On a trial at the Anises for
the County of Derby, an attempt was made to esta-

of it from certain irregularities in her conduct. On
