We have not visited Drury Lane Theatre, which opened on
Satur- day last ; but, for the sake of the many families whose comforts de- pend on the success of the establishment, we are glad to learn that it has been well attended. A new melodrama was produced on the first night of the season, for the purpose of introducing Madame CELESTE in the character of a dumb boy. As a set-off against this attraction, Mr. YATES engaged Decaow to perform a dumb man at the Adelphi ; and the latter theatre has been crowded to the ceiling every night. Mrs. KEELEY has appeared at the Olympic in two new characters; which our limits forbid any notice of, at present. Nothing particularly worthy of remark has been doing at the St. James's Theatre this week ; but a burlesque on SHAKSPEASE'S King Jelin is, we under- stand, in preparation. What next, Mr. Merriman?
