i4t quarto.
Last week, a report was rife that Mm. Keeley had retired from the stage. This week, the report has been most practically contradicted, by the reappearance of the lady at the Haymarket, in the celebrated—shall we say notorious ?—melodrama of Jack Sheppard, which again comes forward to afford food for moraliate. The revival is, we believe, intended to bring the " Haymarket-Adelphi" season to an effective close ; shortly after which, the Haymarket and the Adelphi will reopen in their own se- parate and proper capacities. The theatrical winter is already close upon us ; as is shown by the announcement that the Princess's will visibly reassume its activity on Saturday the 18th. Will it bring us a degree nearer to the long-looked-for regeneration of the drama ? We wait patiently for a solution of this question, not too much disturbed by san- guine expectations.
