Drury Lane opens on Saturday next, the 26th. Mr. HAststoxy,

the new lessee, took leave of his Strand Theatre audience last Saturday, in a smart and amusing speech of negative import, implying that neither German operas, French vaudevilles, African lions. Bengal tigers, nor Arabian horses, would be brought on the stage of Old Drury, but that the attractions would cousist of English productions played by English performers.
