THEATRICALS.

DAL RY-LANE THEATRE. .
Tbis esmblishruent was last night re-opened to the
public, with performances suitable to the occasiou of a
first opeuing after the lamented cause of its temporary
close. A selection of multi:, priucipally, sacred, and
front the works of Handel, with a few secular inter-
spersions, aided by the occasional relief of recita-
tions, composed the attraction of the night. Sup-
ported by Mrs. SALMON, Mica CAREW, Mrs. BLASI),
Miss Put Er. Miss CcaITT, Mr. BRAHAN, Mr. 'l'.
Coolie, Mr. PRARSIAN' &c. &c. ; and Mrs. W. WRIT,
Mrs. ticovse. and Mr. EkLiscost, it could not
fail of
,proving a rich treat. A Monody delivered by
Mrs. II RFT, with the most impressive feeling, was so
effective as to rouse the steepest sympathy, and call tears
into the eyes of a great 'tart of the audience. Mrs.
Moven and Mr. ELLISTON also recited appropriate
Odes, which were received in the same spirit, al-
though not so highly excited. &LISTON seemed
lost its enthusiasm, whilst delivering tin most affect-
lug passages. What shall we say of the singing
of Mrs. SALMON ! Iler " let the 6right Seraphime,"
has been long rated above the reach of commen-
surate praise. But it seemed actually to be excelled
last night, by her powerful execution of From sisightg
neer. After HANDEL had carried us to the regions of
snblinsiiv, it was for Messer " to wrap the senses
in delight." Mrs. %talon and BRABIIII sang his
deem of Ah Perilous, with exqnisite feeling, and it
was impossible not to wish for a repetition, notwith-
standing the great exertion it required. An encore was
loudly demanded frosts all parts of the house. The
resources of the two singers seemed inexhaustible; far
the second periormAnce of the song vital with any thing
that had psereded it, in beauty, richness, and effect.
lift of su was also .scored in " Sound an Alarm,"
which he sang with his usual tremendous power.
A " Funeral Scene- arranged by hint from the works
of If is um, licucx, and MARTIN LI:IMM was per-
formed at the end of the first art. The Hymn of
ICTIIER was introduced as a chorus with the grandest
effect, and followed by " God sure the King" by the
I whole company, the audience rising as lona', and re-
ceiving it with acclamation. Miss CAREW gave" Angela
ever bright end fair," with her acustomed sweetness of
tone, as also KaNT'S " time my Prayer.- with Mrs.
BLAND. Miss POSEY 53 1%; " Holy, Holy," -It to the
Satisfaction of the audience but we thought her style
rather too florid, and not sufficiently smooth and flowing
for this divine production of HANDICS genius.

power of nominating persons as pew-ot ienerik- The
fraud, which is largely and boldly Claris. and on the pub-

basest passion of the human heart.- •.4R. ~ an imp,
