with the most unbounded applause . THEATRE-ROYAL , HAY-MARKET . ' Feb , 9 . . THIS Theatre was opened for the benefit of Mrs . Yates , whose Jr-islx-md was unfortunately killed last Summer , at Pimlico ; a catastrophe still recent in the public recollection . This indeed was proved by the eagerness of the Public to succour the distresses of the Widow and Orphan Children .
The House \ vas exceedingly crowded , and the produce must consequently have been very considerable . . The play was the Earl of Ffa >~ uick . Mrs .

She spoke an address after the play , in allusion to the melanchol y tieprivafion ' which she had sustained—The subjeft nearly touched the feelings of the audience , and drew tears from almost every eye .

THBATR . E-R . OYAL , CO VENT-OARDEN . ' Feb . 18 . ANEW Musical'Piece of one ' act , under the title of " BANTRY BAY , " was brought forward at this Theatre . It is said to be the production of Mr .

To the great credit of the Manager « f Covent-Garden Theatre , - he never loses the opportunity that . , national events may suggest of rousing
the feelings of Englishmen ; and the late intended invasion of the sisterkingdom furnished a very proper occasion for such an appeal to the characteristic spirit of Britons . Compositions of this kind , though highly meritorious in their object , are in general written on the spur of the moment , and are , consequently , too hastily prepared , to possess much merit in themselves . The present Piece , howeverdeserves a more favourable notice , than the praise of mere
ten-, dency , as there is diversity of character , and a general pleasantry and interest , throughout the whole . The songs are well suited to strengthen the' general design of the Piece ; and two or three of them were extremely successful . The music is by Reeve ; and possesses much spirit and effect . FREEMASONS' CONCERT , FREEMASON'S' HALL , FEE . 9 .
THE annua ! Concert for the Benefit of the Freemasons' Charity School , in St . George ' s Fields , was performed at this place . The music was under the direction of Brothers Arnold and Cramer , and the selection , rerlesfted infinite credit on their taste and judgment . Owing to the sudden indisposition of Miss Leak , Miss Dufow kindly undertook , at a very short notice , to sing the songs allotted to that lady , and acquitted herself admirably well . Signora Storace sang Purcell's Cantata of Mad Bess with great science and feeling ;
and Master Welsh's Holy ! Holy ! Lord God Almighty ! charmed every ear . It is but justice , indeed to say , that every part of the performance deserved s ; rcat praise . For the occasional address sung at this Concert , see our Poetry ,
