The Week.
PUBLIC AMUSEMENTS . Monday night was an eventful one in the theatrical annals of London ; almost every theatre had some novelty worthy of notice . Some o f these we must defer remarking upon to-day , and of the remainder our space will only allow a very brief notice . At Drury Lane was produced a new ballad opera , entitled ' William and Susan" the lot of which is taken from Douglas Jen-old ' s " Black Ej'ed Susan "
, p , and not improved in the transforming process . The music by Mr . Tully was much relished by the audience , the various song 3 being well given . Messrs . Haigh and Rosenthal , aud Mdlles . Huddart and Lucetta sustained the principal characters . In the first act alone there were no less than three encores ; to say nothing of the chorus and hornpipe with which the act terminates , and which were probably redemanded for the sake of the young ladies in marine pantaloons who figured in the dance . Much of the success of the piece was due to the extraordinary beauty
of Mr . Beverley's view of the Downs , with the fleet riding at anchor in the distance . At the Haymarket , a feeble translation from the French , entitled , "The Young Mother , " was produced for Miss Emily Allen , a debutante , who has a graceful figure and pleasing presence , who acted with , considerable intelligence aud tmimtC , but who is too evidently anoviee to warrant any serious criticism on her performance . Mr . Falconer has written a slight sketch for the Lyceum , called " The Leprachaun" with the object of affording a field for the talents of Mr . and Mrs . Barney
, AVilliams . It was quite successful , in a rather thinly attended house . Mr . Wright has apyieaved at the ' Adeluhi , in the admirable part of John Grumley , iu "Domestic Economy , " aud on Monday , Mr . and Mrs . Alfred AVigan made their mitree . The popularity earned long since by these favourite comedians , was sufficient to insure them a cordial reception from a London audience .
