TH E A TR ES.
DEURY-LANE THEATRE.

Mr. COOPER, a Gentleman whom the Yankees have
thought at to christen their Ro,cius, although an ER-
glishmam, and long since attached to the English Stage,
last night made his appearance at this Theatre in the
character of Macbeth. When we say that Mr.Cooeza
made his first debut before a London audience in the
Tear 1795, and that he again played in our metropolis
some years after that, we need not add that he is not
now a novice in the business of the stage. His figure
is full and well formed; his action is redundant ; his
voice extremely good.• In its- s .ltest inflections it pos-
sesses an al ticulate and distinct quality. ssh-ch makes it
heard in tile tenlutest parts even of our large thea-
tres; and iq the louder passages of declamation r
passion, it was equally powerful and harmonious. He'
was.well received ; but in the course of his performance
we regret to say that his faults were somewhat severely
handled by the audience. Many things he did
were certainly rislicul, us, but ere think they hardly
deserved the contemptuous treatment with which they
were visited. Hooting and laughter attended the
latter scenes, and when die curtain fell and Mr.Youtro
appeared to announce' the perPrinance. there was a
general tumuli and call for Mr. WALLACK. Mr. W.
at last came forward, and, after some introductory
flow repeated the announcement of the perform-
ances for the next evening, and the uproar at length
sabrided.-:—Mr a. Bums! played Lady Macbeth better than
we have lien her perform the character on any former
occasion.

COVENT GARDEN.
Last night the Merchant of Venice was performed at
this Theatre, when Mr. KLAN reappeared in the cha-
racter of Shylock. Soon after the doors were opened the
hon., was perfectly filled in every part, and when Mr.
KEAN entered, he was loudly greeted by the audience.—
From his personal appearance, no one could have ever
guessed that he had been labouring under any indisposi-
tion. lie looked extremely well, and what is seldom to
be observed with him; his voice held out perfectly good
to the very ead of the piece—indeed as tar as we could
judge be never appeared to be in better health than
now, and his acting of the character was much more
effective than on the last occasion of his playing ir.
Miss JARMAN, in the character of Portia, a•rd Mr. C.
KEMBLE in that of Bassani°, displayed much merit,
(specially in the last act of the piece. After the Pray
Der Freischnts was performed, and in this piece the
ilitroduction of the horns on the stage to accompany
the Yager Chorus, is a decided improvement.

The Doke of WHLUNOTON made his public entry
into Buckingham on Saturday, at 11 o'clock, and received an
Addresspreviously voted by the Corporation. His Grace was
molted from Wootton, the *eat of the Marquis of Chandos, by
large hotly of farmers, and was met near Buckingham by an
non of yeomanry. The or intended to be routed whole
ms drawn through the town on Friday decorated with tibands,
' ltd preceded by a band of music ; and on Saturday the cere-
mony took place; and a Wellington pudding" was exhibited
to the public. which is this day to be distributed to the chil-
atm for whom it was designed.. It is a five-bushel pudding,
m.l was put into the copper at four o'clock on Monday after-
-4I the White Hart Inn, and boiled from that time until
wren ~.clock on Thursday night. The following are the in-
Premien/ which it is composed:—Flour, 14011 s.; plums,
stlb• 7ulb.; eggs, 140; sugar, 141 b.; nutmegs and
other spices, 21b. brandy and wine, 2 gallons. The weight was
4504) The ingredients filled a five bushel bag, and left 801 b. tra
make a dumpling for another.—Cositsky Ckroniek.
The Pantoo.ime at Covent Garden is the creation of
Mr. FA stay, and embodies the fairy story of 1 he (Acme
King, who was supposed to be a resident in the centre
of the earth, and endowed with magic powers. This
subject has been dramatized before as a splendid melo-
drama, by DIMOND, and was eminently successful, a few
years ago. Mr. FARM, we believe, handles it dif-
ferently, and its opening scenes, it is said, will be re-
markable for their splendour and :magnificence.
Saturday last as amateur performance took place at
the Theatre, Portsmouth, for the benefit of the widows
aad orphtos whose husbands. and fathers fell at the bat-
tle of Navarin. The performance was under the pa-
tron..ge of Sir JAuts LYON, EC. B. The pieces select-
ed were Speed the Plough and The Village Lawyer—
the characters sustained by gentlemen amateurs of the
Navy and Royal Marines, who performed their respec-
tive characters in a highly effective manner, and were
much applauded.

Cosescannea-no•Csiss, went through his list at his Office in the Horse
Guards, where three Generals and:about fifty Officers transacted
