Monday next will be the last night of Mr. Kean's

rule at the Princess's Theatre. Henry VIII. is selected for the farewell drama, probably be- cause it enables Mrs. Charles Kean to take leave of the publib in one of her finest characters. An address by Mr. Kean will follow the play. With the change of management the Princess's will entirely change its character, and the sort of Shakesperian supremacy that it has held for the last nine years will not be represented by any house whatever. Thus, as far as the poetical drama is concerned, we have a complete blank be- fore us, which even the imagination refuses to fill up.
