DRURY-LANE Tug tTne.—This beautiful structnre
was last night lighted up for the purpose of juclghtg
of the disposition of the lamps, end the effect of the
decorations, scenery, &C. &c. It is not our wish to
raise e‘to avagant ideas of the magoiticence or beauty ;
of this building, but we certainly never saw, in any
country, a theatre of the same dimensions that ap- '
pears to combine so peofectly all the requisites for
sound and spectacle, which are comprehended in this.
Though the area of the circle is really large, yet by
the form it brings every part so near to the stage,
that the eye and ear of every one must be gratified.
There is not a point either in pit or boxes where the
round and sight are not equally audible and clear.
The tone of the colour; and richness of the erna-
raent% io the proscenium, and fronts of the boxes,
afford a high treat to the spectator, cress before the
curtain rises ; and when it does, these decorations
are subdued by the superior lightnud elegauce of the.
,eentry. Twelve or fourteen of the new scenes
were tries for the first time; they are made to move
en a railway, which glees theta unusual precision
and rapidity, to which also the comparative narrow-
sitss of the Oars contributes • fer it does not, as at
the Opera and Covent-garden, extend to the full
width of the box circle, bet is contracted by beauti-
ltd columns in imitation of the yen! antique. This,
however, will not pre%ent the performers from act-
lig in the fell breadth of the area when the curtain
)s WO. The scenery is to:listed with great taste,
and it was moved with great ease and accuracy. We
an persuaded thitthe house will be found admirably
adapted' fer the representation of the drama 1 and
that not a syllable will be toot to any person in the
house. The grand staircase, the saloon, and all the
entrances are spacious, and from the form of the
ualbseetion tbe asetpusy are not likely to be dis-
