THEATRICALS.

DRURY LANs.—The Opera of Rob Roy Macgregor
was performed on Saturday, with great effect. Mr.
MELsoss made his first appearance before a London
audience in the part of Francis Usbaldiston. This gen.
tleman't voice cannot be .aid to be of the very first rate
—but he possesses much good tave, and when he intro•
duce: ornament it is done with judgment. He sung the
song "My Love she's like the red red rose" with a treat
deal of feeling, and a repetition was t ailed for with much
acclamation. Miss STEPHENS was as delightful as ever
in the part of Miss Vernon; and Lisros, as the rep e-
sentative of Baillie Jarrie, was as Ituannueous and amus-
ing as nsual. The p :its of Rub Roy, Rashleigli Usbal-
diseon, and Helen Macgregor, were r-Ppectiv.ly repre-
sented by COOPER, YOUNG). and Mrs. WEST, with great
success, and the Opera was altogether so well received,
that it was announced for repetition to ;morrow.
CoveNT Gannest.—The Opera of the Marriage of
Figaro afforded a fine treat on Saturday in the appear-
ance of Miss PATON an 4 Miss TREE together in the suite
piece ; the former as the countess, and the latter as S
'mama. which puts, we find, they are to act alternately.
It were needless to say that they both arteitted them-
selves with infinite ability. The other principal parts
were also well sustained, and the Opera went a with
great edit.

The Bishoprick of Meath, vacant by the, death of Dr.
Reirn, has, it is raid been offered to the Horourable aim
Reverend G. V. Wellesley, D. D., brother of the Viceroy
of Ireland.
