Mr. and Mrs. KEELEY are engaged at the Princess's ;

where they appeared for the first time on Monday, in a new farce by Mr. Mois- CALM', dignified with the epithet of a "petite comedy," called Borrow- ing a Husband. They personate a newly-wedded couple of rustics ; and the fun arises from the husband's jealous fears at the attentions of the county member to his bride, and at finding a cousin clodpole in- stalled as the nominal bridegroom in his absence. Mr. and Mrs. KEELEY did their best endeavours to lighten the duloess and lessen the indecency of the piece ; but unless some better opportunity be afforded to this excellent pair of comedians for displaying their talents, their engagement will not prove so advantageous to the management as it might be.
