Accident and the natural order of thitga have combined to
render the non-lyrical portion of the theatrical world remarkably tranquil this week. Mrs. Keeley sprained her ankle by a fall daring the rehearsal of Jack Sheppard at the Adelphi; so the production of that stirring melodrame has been postponed tall Monday next. Mr. Mitchell has terminated his polyglott season with great glory. Mr. Charles Kean rests from his ma- nagerial labours for a couple of months or so. Mr. Charles Mathews shuts his doors against the July sun, but in the meanwhile amuses the public by sending forth one of the smartest pamphlets that any sun ever shone upon, on the subject of international copyright in its relations to the drama. Everybody applauds the wisdom of these closings : the only wonder is that the other theatres are not closed also.
