THEATRE-ROYAL , DR . URY-LANE . Shakspeare ' s tragedy of CYMBELINE has been revived , at Drury-Lane theatre , with all the splendour of decoration and superiority of talents , which that theatre al' . ords . A Mrs . WORTHINGTON made her first appearance in the character of Imogen , and gave promise of abilities which must prove a valuable acquisition to the stage . Palmer was the lachima , and Kemble the Posthumus ,
and it is but justice- to say , that they both sustained their parts with great correctness and judgment . Rowe ' s tragedy of TAMERLANE has also been brought forward , after an absence of many years from the stage . Kemble ' s Bojaxet and Palmer ' s Tamerlane were highly respectable ; and Mrs . Siddons , great as she is known to be , went almost beyond her former reputation .

Mrs . Inchbald has so deservedly acquired . It was very well received by a crowded audience , and is likely to become a favourite with the public . The characters were very \ vell sustained . Lewis had hardly a part important enough for him ; but he made it very pleasant . Quick , as usual , was correct and diverting . Munden was uncommonly able and impressive in delineating the agonies of parental tenderness and disappointment . Miss Wallis displayed great feeling and spirit in the Modern Maid ; and Miss Chapman shewed , in
the primitive Wife , talents that deserve greater scope than is generally allotted to her . ¦ The Prologue modestly stated the former prodtiftions of the fair Author , as some plea for critical lenity on the present occasion . The Ep ilogue consisted of a few lines , in allusion to the recent Naval Victory . The Dramatis Persona ; were as follow : Bronzeley % Mr . Lewis .
, Lord Priory , ... Mr . Quick . Sir George Evelyn , - - Mr . Pope . Sir William Dorilant , - , Mr . Munden . Mr . Nofbuiy , - - Mr . Waddy . Oliver , - - - - Mr . Fawcet . Lady Mary Raffle , - - Mrs . Mattocks .
Lady Priory , - Miss Chapman . Miss Dorilant , - - Miss Wallis . Thursday , March 16 . Anew grand pantomime ballet , interspersed with songs and chorusscs , called Raymond and Agnes , of The Castle , of Linde > : l / erg , was brought forward , for the first time . It is taken chiefly from the celebrated Romance of the Monk , and forms an exhibition at once interesting and grand . The scenery is beautiful and picturesque ; the dresses for the most part
. superb ; and the machinery ingenious and well designed . Mr . Farley is the author . The correctness ancl taste displayed by him in dramatising the story do him infinite credit . The music , which is very pretty , is by Mr . Reeve . The piece has been got up at a great expence , but the liberality of the manager will not fail to be requited by the favour of the public . It went off with universal applaube . The house overflowed in all parts at an early hour .
