Last night The Rencontre, Charles the Twelfth, The Happiest Day
of my Life, and Peter Smink, were played here to a crowded house.
Miss JM. Glover, m consequence of Mrs. Humby's accident, was that
lady's substitute in each of the four pieces, and though labouring un-
der the disadvantage of succeediog so deservedly popular an actress,
acquitted herself to the satisfaction of the audience, and to her own
credit.— She was encored in * Rise, gentle Moon.' The other perform-
ers exerted themselves with their accustomed ability^and were rewarded
by a plentiful share of applause.
Mr. Baynim*s Drama of The Serjeant's Wife, was acted here last
night, for the first time this season. The excellence of Miss Kelly, in
the part of Lisette, is so well known and appreciated, that it seems
almost superfluous to do more than merely state her performance of
the character ; but we cannot content ourselves, without expressing
the great delight we received from her performance, which appeared
to u3 to realize all that can be imagined of excellence in the histrionic
art. The scene where, through a crevice in the wall, she witnesses the
horrid preparations for the murder of her aged companion, her na-
tural and powerful acting excited the most intense interest ; — indeed,
thioughout the part, the most breathless stillness was only interrupted
by bursts of applause. Mrs. Keeley's performance of Margot was
truly excellent, and she fully shared the applause of the audience with
Miss Kelly : — she gave the song, in which she warns Lisette not to
drink the sleeping potion, admirably. Mr. Keeley made Robin un
peu trop bete. Bartley played the warm-hearted old soldier, Cartouch,
in his best manner ; and O. Smith, as Gaspard, was terrifically cha-
racteristic of the midnight murderer. We know not why it should be
so, but it is a fact, that this Drama never was so well received at Co-
vent Garden as at this Theatre, though all the same actors were em-
ployed in it there as here.
The second piece, Gretna Green, afforded Miss Kelly an opportu-
nity of exhibiting in the part of Betty Finikin, the unequalled versa-
tility of her talent ; her conceited fine lady airs were highly comic,
and elicited great laughter and applause. Wrench's Jenkins is on a
par with his Peter Shack ; — in parts of this nature he always shines.
G. Penson was all that could be wished for, as Larder; and Miss
Cawse and J. Bland sang very pleasiagly. The performance foncluded

with Der Freischuetz. Ob Wednesday next, a new Melo-dranna, to
be called The Witness, will be produced here.
It is, we understand, quite true, that a Theatre, larger than ei-
ther CoventGarden or DruryLane, is to be erected at the top of Gray's
Inn Lane, for the representation of the legitimate drama. Whether
the proprietor will obtain a licence is another question. Brighto7i Ga-
zette.
We cannot conceive for a moment that there can be any truth in the
above report ; our Theatres are too large, as they are, for almost any
thing but mere spectacle or opera ; and in the present state of the-
atrical speculation a third Winter Theatre seems quite superfluous.
Tom Welch, it is said, has procured a licence from the Lord Cham-
berlain, to enable him to perform Italian Operas, at the Argyle Rooms
next season, which are to be succeeded by Balls. Admission is to be
granted to subscribers alone.
Mr. Price intends to erect a handsome colonnade on the north, and
west sides of Drury-lane Theatre ; but, although the iron columns
and a large portion of the substantial apparatus are in perfect readi-
ness, the plan will not be put in execution till next season.

On Saturday evening the drama ©f The Sister of Charity was per-
formed at this Theatre, for the twenty-second time. The want o(
novelty in this piece is fully compensated by the fine acting of Miss
Kelly: it was, as usual, reeeived with the strongest testimonials of pub-
lic favor. Miss H. Cawse, J. Vining, and Keeley, also received much
applause. The Tf^aterman was the second piece; the revival of which
at this house has beefi emin'^ntly succfessfal.owing to the delightful sing-
ing 6t Wood, and thd highly domic acting of Keeley,' W. Bennett, and
Mrs. C Jones! 'The jierfofmance concluded with thft Operetta o-f Free
and Easy. The incidents of this bagatelle are simple and well arranged;
the dialogue light and spirited, and the music very pretty ; with these
recommendations, and the excellent acting displayed by the artists

able* tnausement.; — Miss Kelly* Gertrude, was a delightfuUy spirited

*■' iVo^/z/«^ ^'aper/woM* was acted for the ithird time. J. Reeve played
Sadi, with a good deal of broad hirmou*r,*bnt' with a slovenliness of
style too often perceptible, in this clever comedian's acting ; he also
introduced too much of his own slang, and though probably the audi-
ence were no great losers by the substitution of his wit, for [that of
Mr. Thompson, still it is an inexcusable fault. • Mrs. H. Corri- played

repeated seemed to have lost none of its attraction. Charles the
Twelfth followed to the great gratification of a crowded auditory,
Astley's. — This most flourishing and amusing of all the Minor
Theatres, has, by the production of The Cataract of the Ganges,
added another powerful attraction to its list of entertainments. It is
got up in the most splendid and effective manner ; and the acting, both
of the bipeds and quadrupeds, is of the highest order. The gorgeous
marriage procession, with its car drawn by six white horses, has ne-
ver been surpassed by any similar exhibition. The Infant Prodigy, as
Napoleon^ and Ducrow, as Roh Roy, are astonishingly amusing; and
the afterpiece of The •Attack of the Diligence, is a very clever well
acted little drama. These two highly successful pieces will be played
every night this week.
The report that Mr. Kean is about to play at the Surrey Theatre,
is entirely without foundation. It is one among the many * Weak in-
veutions'j of the enemies of that distinguished actor.
Mr. Bonn, the Dublin Manager, is said to have formed a conuexion
with certain capitalists of that city, to purchase the Theatre and its
appendages. — Miss Foote, we regret to bear, has been confined by se-
vere illness at Leamington.

The SergeanVs Wife was performed here yesterday evening, for
the second time this season ; when Miss Kelly, in the part of Lisette,
exerted her unrivalled powers with an eflfect trnly electrical. Mrs.
Keeley, also, as JiJargot, acted in the most natural and effective man-
ner, and obtained great applause. Bartley was excellent, as Old
Cartouch ; and Thorne very respectable, as his son. Keeley, though
very amusing as Robin, made him a greater fool than the author in-
tended — a work of supererogation. The Cornish Miners followed ;
and the Melo-drama of Gordon, the Gypsey, concluded ; — the latter
piece was preceded by the Overture to Oscar and JMalvina, played in
admirable style. Mr. J. Vining was a most efficient representative of
the Gypsey hero ; indeed, it was one of the best melo-dramatic per-
formances we have witnessed for a long time. Fie I Messieurs les Di'
recteurs, to make Miss Pincott, one of the prettiest little creatures on
the English stage, play an aged woman, {JMarian %Moome). Where
is your gallantry, Messieurs? — or did you give Miss Pincott that part
to prove the versatility of her talent? If that was your aim you ac-
complished it, for the young lady acquitted herself excellently, and
transferred herself completely from the age of 19 to 90.

Last night, at this Theatre, after the comic trifle o{ JVothingSuper-
fluous, the Comedy of The Hypocrite was performed. The Hypocrite
was very ably personated by Mr. Farren, and although it wanted the
oily smothnesa of Dowton's Dr. Cantwell, still it was a chaste, vigorous
and fiaisbed piece of acting. The scene which struck us as Farren's
best, was that in which after being detected by Sir John Lambert, he
throws off the mask, and presuming on his possession of certain deeds,
commands his patron to quit the house ; here his looks and manner,
bore all the marks of triumphant villainy ; and his consternation and
despair on discovering the true nature of the deed, were also depicted
