THE THEATRES.

POWER took his "farewell benefit" on Tuesday ; when he appeared as Captain °Wore, in a petite comedy written by himself, called Etiquette, or a Wile Ar a Blunder. We have not seen it: but it is described as a slight affair.—the fun consisting in the ludicrous consequences of O'More's blunders, and POWER'S pleasant, easy manner of committing them.

MACREADY has been playing to crowded and enthusiastic audiences this week again. Ile takes his benefit on Thersday ; on which occa- sion Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD'S beautiful tragedy of Ion will be repre- sented, for the first, and, it is said, the only time; but we hope and expect its surcess will be such as to demand its repetition. MACREADY, of course, will personate Ion.

A new melodrama is advertised here for Monday.
