The Wife's Secret, celebrated as the drama in which Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean first appeared in London, after their 'return from America, was revived on Monday at the Princess's. The characters of the suspecting husband and the heroic wife were played by the two distinguished artists, with all the force and passion which commanded the applause of the metropolis eleven years ago. No further change, it is supposed, will take place in the entertainments at this house, which now consist of the Wffe's Secret and Midsummer Night' Dream (as an after piece), until the closing night (29th), when Henry VIII. will be repeated.

This week the managers of the Olympic, Messrs. Robson and Emden, have brought to a close their second season, which has even exceeded the first in steady prosperity.

Mr. W. Smith, the acting manager of the Adelphi Theatre, will take his benefit on Thursday next, when the old drama, the Wreck Ashore, will be revived.
