A very feeble operetta, with a silly Oriental story for its subject, has been produced at Drury Lane Theatre. So utter is its triviality, that if any one were to assert there had, been nothing new whatever during the week, it would be hardly fair to contradict him on the strength of the Cadi's .Daughter. Mr. Macready's list this week has comprised Othello, Wavy, Hamlet, Richelieu, and Macbeth. Monday will be the concluding night of his engagement ; and Le,ar, the hest of his Shaksperian characters, is judi- ciously selected for the occasion. However, when the "last nights,' the "final nights," and the "last nights for ever," are all exhausted, the public will have one chance more of seeing the great tragedian, since his benefit is announced for the 19th instant. The house where this is to take place is not yet officially indicated, but rumour mentions Her Majesty's Theatre.
