The superb new Theatre opposite the Pantheon in Oxford Street,
called the Princess's, is to be opened for opera on Monday, with Madame GARCIA and Mr. TEMPLETON in the Sonnambula. Covent Garden reopens under the management of Mr. Boamr, with the company that has been performing there this season ; and Mrs. ALFRED SHAW is announced in Artaxerxes for Tuesday, Miss RAINFORTH being the Mandane. The pantomime—Punch's—has a burlesque of King John for its opening, with PAYNE for the hero and BRADWELL to aid the wonder-working wand of Harlequin. At Drury Lane, William Tell is the subject of the pantomime ; the genius of the Ribstone Pippin being evoked by Mr. MORTON, to answer the summons of Tell's arrow with the motley crew. The Children in the Wood at the Adelphi are likely to draw more laughter than tears. At the Haymarket, instead of pan- tomime, WEBSTER has revived one of the prettiest of the Olympic Fairy pieces, .Riguet with the Tuft; in which Madame VESTRIS, CHARLES AIATHEWS, and BLAND, the .Agamemnon of burlesque, will figure R ll of yore. At the other Theatres pantomime is in the ascendant; and some dozen of Columbines, Harlequins, Clowns, and Pantaloons, will be in active motion on Monday night.
