TREATRICAL Gossir.—The note of preparation is already heard at the
Winter Theatres. The hundreds of Drury have mistaken several of the late thunder-claps for the roar of the Lions. The sweeter notes of Mr. Wools are anticipated with less awe, and with greater pleasure. Mr. Woon will prove a valuable acquisition. Mr. JONES, the genteel come- dian from Edinburgh, is, we understand, in treaty ; his talents will be peculiarly desirable to this theatre, in consequence of the engagement of Mr. Jonas of London at Covent Garden,—where BRARAM, YOUNG, and ,little Miss Poor.x are also engaged. The managers of Drury must bestir themselves to find sufficient force to match the attraction of the eminent performers whose abilities Mr. KEMBLE can command, in addition to his daughter's and his own. Madame VESTRLS has engaged Ltsrox, and is enlarging the front of her theatre for the reception of increasing au- diences. We advise her to improve the general talent of her company. Much was viewed with indulgence during her first season, that will now be looked at with a sterner eye. The difference between her stars and the other performers was exceedingly offensive. Let her endeavour to emulate the managers of the ADELPHI, the starry twins, who have a con- stellation of talent in their limited sphere. We congratulate Messrs. illisrasws and Yxras on the loss of the Lions. A burlesque on the sub- Jan will be less expensive, better suited to their space, and to the tastes 4 their audiences.
