THE LONDON THEarans.—The winter campaign is on the eve of

com- mencement. The two great powers, the managers of Drury Lane and Covent Garden, take the field, the one to-night, the ether on Monday, with their massy battalions. VESTRIS, the modern Cleopatra, with LISTON as her Anthony, leads the van with the light troops ; and the Adelphi, MATHEWS, YATES, and REEVE, bring up the rear. But to drop our martial metaphor. At Covent Garden, l'oeNG com- mences his last season, with Hamlet, as the first of the series of his favourite characters. In addition to Miss INVERARITY and WILSON, BRAHAM is engaged; so that the opera company will be in great strength. Drury Lane opens with the Honeymoon ; in the cast of which we notice three first appearances,—Mr. JONES, from Edinburgh, as Rolando; Mrs. BRUDENELL, also from Edinburgh, as Violante ; Miss KENNETH, from Dublin, as Zamora.

The Adelphi, no longer the English Opera, will be itself again on Mon- day; it commences the season with a nautical and magical melodrama called the Sea Serpent, "or the Wia.aal of the Winds !" Mr. ARNOLD has not much reason to complain of the season altogether ; the success of the 'Evil Eye has rendered the latter part profitable. It is said that MaTnaws and YATES have bought it—they- have an cue both to their own advantage and public amusement. The Haymarket continues ofion Liar a fortnight longer. KEAN played Lear very finely on Monday ; and Othellu on Wednesday, in a manner which we believe never was equalled by any other actor : he will con- tinue to perform till the Haymarket crises; but he has not, at present, an engagement for any other London theatre. Madame VESTRIS has redecorated her 0. Pavilion,”:in a style most appropriate to its title,—airy and tasteful. Flying Cupids support a light crimson drapery by wreaths of flowers, to form a ceiling; and. the fronts of the boxes are ornamented in pannels with a series of designs from Banrot.ozat, of groups of Cupids, interspersed with wreaths of flowers and arabesque in colours, on a white ;round, relieved with gold. If the " graces" form any proportion to the "loves," the Theatre de . Illadame will be unrivalled in its attractions. This style of decoration is as elegant and appropriate as it is ; and is susceptible of great variety of design and combination of e.;hair. The linitazs of the boxes area rich crimson, which adds great value to the light and fanciful ap- pearance of their exterior. There is also a new drop-se:Ate ; and thegreex curtain, instead of falling from the top, and presenting a flat surface, hangs in folds, is divided in the centre, and closes and draws apart like our modern window-curtains. .
