The house has been very fully attended during the week ; , particularly ond ronday, when Mr. Mac READY gave a noble picture of' the gallant

a as oyal Harry ; and on Wednesday; when the School for Scandal w again performed with the adfnirable cast we' before noticed. Be- sides these performances, we are called upoin as chroniclers of the drama, to record three novelties of a-very varied description. The first in order is Monsieur &wises ballet of Les Trois Sultana, which is well stocked with pell-mell dances and processions, with their concomi.'

tant gorgeous paraphernalia of dresses, banners. and decorations. It also introduces to our stage a new danseuse of considerable grace and fluency of action—she is a Mademoiselle ROSALIE GUET, from the Opera of Paris, and has been received with most flattering applause. The opera of Hofer, which is composed of Rossuir's music to Guillaume Tell, dra- matized to another story by Mr. PLANCME, was. performed for the fink tits this season, on the same evening that.e..new.farce, translated, we. believai from the French, -by BlroFoonritsvashdso. produced. Of the— performance of the opera we, catt,,say but: little aswe only arrived in titne to see the last act : what we did see'was very good. of its kind, and the applause at the conclusion was unanimous:, The farce which-fol- lowed is one of the most arousing 'description ; and the excellent -acting of LISTON, COOPER, and Mrs: C. JONES carried it through in triumph. The-characters and main incidents are,as follows. A sentimental young lady named Sally (Miss Fatten), the daughter of a Mr. Knibbs (Iltronzs), a retired haberdasher, is destined -for the hand of a young gentleman yclept Bumps (Cooenn), whose. 'arrival is hourly expected. This damsel has, of course .already provided -herself with a lover, in Edgar de Courcy (VINING), whose delicious uame she feels no incli- nation to give up ; and a conspiracy is accordingly formed; with the as- sistance of Jack Humphreys (LisTosr), the would-be wit of the town, to frighten the intruder from the house on his first arrival. For this, pur- pose Jack Humphreys disguises himself a la Major Sturgeon, with the imposing title of General Jacko ; but Air. Bumps. having got wind of their plans, as well as a slight knowledge . of their several little pri- vate .concerns, from a gossiping cook-maid, Patty Larkin (Mrs. ORGER), resolves on meeting the conspirators half way, and makes his appearance amongst •them as a 'gawky country clod.- Jack pounces upon his victim in right good earnest, but soon finds himself overmatched ; . in fact, Bumps fairly "turns the tables" upon the whole of them, throwing them all into perplexities ; from which at length a short explanation re. lieves them, and the original lovers are made happy,—Bumps declining. All the dramatis persons exerted themselves to good effect, and LisToa's whole performance was the ne plus ultra of mirth and swagger. A translation of VICTOR Hiroo's Hernani, by Mr. KEarsE V, is in preparation here, as well as a new dramatic anecdote, which Will be pro- duced next week. A Miss HUDDART, from the Dublin stage, will shortly make her appearance as Belvidera.

Mr. DIMOND'S new drama, by the aid of MISS TAYLOR'S spirited acting, continues to attract. Miss KEissi.E's Mrs, Haller, which, we had intended to notice last, week, is, as a whole, and herring our diss like of .the play itself, one of her best performances. It is natural, quiet, and touching throughout, and--the concluding Scene is powerfully effec- . tive. We had been long gasping for a little comedy to peep in upon usat this house, and therefore hailed, with considerable Satisfaction the.perforna- ance of the Provoked Husband, on Wednesday. Miss KEMBLE'S cppedy is

of a very pleasing quality, but isnot adapted to the complete delineation of the character of Lady,Toivnly._ She did not succeed in hitting off the

whims.and va,aries of the.diasipated-beautY, with the dashing nosseha.. of genuine womanhood. Of Mr. KEMBLE'S: LOid Mealy. .it must be. said, that the stage never exhibited a more perfectly easy 'and dignified. nobleman. Before we proceed to notice the new farce brought out oti. Thursday, we may remark that Auld Robin Gray and Patrick's Return. are two very pretty ballets of rustic life; and the music-, Which is chiefli selected from old•national airs, is d delightful accoinpaniment to ,the stage business. The new farce of Hide and Seek, which we 'are stir- prized to see attributed to Mr. LuNN, proves to be nothing but a ri- feicimento Of a comic burletta, produced some years age at the Ad-Jahr,- with the title of -The Secret, or Natural Magic. This was itself taken' from a French vaudeville, and it is possible that Mr. LUNN' was riot aware that it had already been appropriated to our stage. Translathrs should be on the look-ont, and not fall into similar mistakes again. KEELD les part of Moses in which we admit he is very amusing, was originally performed by HE at the Minor Theatre. The farce has been well received, and is announced for repetition every evening till further notice.

Among the forthcoming novelties at Covent Garden, is a comedy, to be called the Chancery Suit, which is said to be a great favourite in the green-room-at least, fer its comic situations and laughter-exciting capa- Lai ties. Cinderella will be produCed the week after. next. WOOD's. part will be taken by Mr. lirmsoN •' and Miss PAroN's by a young lady, new to the stage, but greatly distinguished at the Edinburgh-. concerts, both for musical accomplishments and uncommon personal beauty: The lady's name is INvERARrry—which, if the Northern re- port of her attractions be borne out, an English audience will soon shorten to Rarity.

THE MINORS.

ADE LPHI.—The Wreck Ashore and the Black Vulture have not lost -their attraction ; and the burlesque tragedy of The Quadrupeds has concluded the entertainments during the week. On Monday, the au- dience were frightened out of their wits on being shut up in the theatre for four or five minutes aftei. the conclusion of the performances, in con- sequence of the noisy proceedings of a few reformist patriots in the Strand ; and on Tuesday, JOHN REEVE obtained innumerable rounds of -applause for a wicked allusion to the -unfortunate City proceedings in the morning : "I shall go to the parish dinner," said illarmaduke Ma- ry," if it's not put off!' &may. —A new melodrama, founded on the same subject as the Wreck Ashore at the Adelphi, has been successfully produced here, under the title of the Rover's Bride, or the Bittern's Swamp. Miss MONTFORT made her first appearance at this theatre in the character -of Bclvidera, on Thursday ; but not having seen her, we cannot report her success. Mr. OSBALDIST ON played Pierre, and Mr. C. Hi tr. Jaffier.

COBOURG.—A grand melodrama was produced here on Monday' called the Silver Knight, or the Banquet Gallery; and introduced Mr.11Eat- arises, after a considerable. absence from the London boards. Mr. AN- DERSON and Miss HARTOLOZZI are expected to appear here shortly..

TOTTENHAM STREED.—A new "musical, nautical melodrama," in three acts, called the Smugglers' Isle, or the Bridal Eve, was produced here on Tuesday, we are informed with good success. Tekeli, a musical- comedy founded on the Country Cirl, the Child of Nature, and Master's._ _Rival, have been she', chief ,,entettainnients during the week. Madiem6. ITErr Rig, whet, to use the:tfulnagerial'phraseology, "has been a long' time in preparation," wilkpesitively be "produced" on Monday next in the characters of Annette in the Lord of the-Manor, and the Page Vin- cent in John of Paris. We suppose the little theatre will be crowded to the ceiling on the occasion ; which is expected to bring on a renewal of the late " Merciful " prosecutions from one or other of the Patent Houses.
