The operatic entertainments at Drury Lane Theatre have been relieved

by a farce entitled the Yankee Housekeeper, which in itself is utterly, worthless, but which introduces to the public a genial representative of New England manners in the person of Mrs. Florence, an actress of ce- lebrity from the United States. The portraiture of the Yankee " gal " is coloured to a degree that leads us to suspect that the fair citizens of Maine are a little caricatured; but the performance is as easy as it is forcible, deriving a peculiar charm from the untiring vivacity of the actress.
