The programme of the French Playa at the St. James's
Theatre gives promise of a more brilliant season than even the last : iu addition to BOUFFE, Mesdemoiselles DE.LazET and PLESSIS, we are to have the inimitable VERNET, and Mesdames DOCHE and ALBERT. The last- mentioned lady will appear on the opening night, which is fixed for Monday the 16th January. Mademoiselle FORGEOT is directrice, as before ; and the clever company of last season is reinforced by some new talent. The subscribers have every reason to be satisfied with these arrangements : we trust Mr. MITCHELL will also consider the comfort of the casual visiters. The frequenters of the gallery last season were seated in an oven, a rush of cold air at their backs being the only relief from stifling heat ; and the upper boxes were little less oppres- sive. The expense of some contrivance for ventilation would be well repaid ; for the inconvenience and unwholesomeness of what is called the " amphitheatre" kept numbers away.
