The Lyceum company have bestowed—or rather wasted—a great deal of

pains in getting up an English version of SCRIBE'S drama, the Huguenots, but without .MEYERBEER'S music, which is the most striking feature of the Parisian performance; substituting for it some scanty music by Mr. TULLY. They had better stick to English dramatists, like SERI.E, BERNARD, and PEAKE. These foreign novelties have more notoriety than they deserve- ; and in this instance neither money nor reputation is gained. The Huguenots, however, has already been withdrawn ; and Lucille--to which Mrs. KEELEY'S powerful acting gives " intense interest," as the playbills for once truly tell—is still the favourite. Another novelty is announced for Monday, with the title of The Witch's Son.
