THEATRICALS.

-..........

TANC—Thie Theatre was lad night lighted
tip tor the first time since the completion of the littera-
;Wins. Whatever were the expectations of the parties
ye nnnnn ed, we think the effect must have fully equalled '
or surpassed them. The Moose,
pearanceas now constructed,
m
, has a snne and cofble a, but retains
enough of ignitudem toorta p
ey satisfy the e, and to present
that aspect of grandeur whisk might to belong to a na-
tional Theatre.
The splendid ornaments which decorate the fronts of
the hales, combined with the mellow tint of the ground
on chick they repose. prunes a beautifully rich glow.
The Hoary Sirel&e, the Phu, and the Scrolls, which
adorn the al tiers, are magnificent hut not glaring; '
.ed the warlet of the laterlor of the Boxes displays
mei( with appropriate richness.
The scenes from the Mars of libabspeare which fill
the pawls bimetak the dress fleck, are pleasing, but
the colon' seem to as toe delicate : a want of promi-
nence is felt while we look at them, that provokes com•
plaint, and a little wear will. we thick, almost obliterate
them. It, liowerd% they ate sot &smog the richest or-
mowers of the home, they aro not without merit; there
is delicacy and good taste. but we could have wished
for more dresgth.
The stage, :meow enshellishod.isheand ful ; and the new
stage boxes are in the Gestate@ of grandeur. Enclosed
by Corinthian columns, with superbly gilded capitals,
sostainiag a noble. bat set tawdry, architrave, and fur-
ti-reed with crimson Imolai., they give a finish to the
Theatre, to which it is hardly within the power of de-
kriplimi to render jostle..
The Saloon is almost wholly lined with looking-glass,
or taller it will be so when the extensive works which
erre last bight in rapid progress shall be completed.—
TM*, we think, will be the most brilliant apartment in
the Metropolis.
Notwithstanding the Inelemeney of the weather, a
numerous company atteaded yesterday evening to wit-
,s the first illamination adds elegant temple of the
Aiwa. Among them we noticed many literary gentle-
turn, no small number of actors and artist., sad several
Pouliot's of Parliament and of the Nobility. In the
coarse of the evening the new drop scene was lowered.
It represents a tent, composed of gold and crimson, with
an opening is the entre through which a statue of
SailiLlittallf 111 men. Though some critics deem-
ed the colouring of the tent too garish, and others
shnovht the states neither a Battering likeness, nor ad-
vantageously Altera, the spectators of yesterday marked
76eir arose of its merits by a tribute of universal ap-
phwe. The exhibition altogether afforded unmixed sa-
taaction, and gave a pleasing and a strong presump-
tion that the same good taste which lies been displayed
is this part of the estaitlishmeat. will direct the whole,
sod appear coaspiceous in the higher order of the exhi-
bitions of this national Theatre.
