THE THEATRES.
TEE week has been prolific of novelties : competition keeps managers on the alert, and their activity stimulates the patronizing public. Each of the four principal theatres has produced a successful new piece ; those at the two great houses five-act dramas. Last night, at Covent Garden, a new comedy by Douoias JERROLD' with the promising title Bubbles of the Day, succeeded to the defunct Irish Heiress, which did not live to make a third appearance ; at Drury Lane, on Wednesday, the attractions of Acis and Galatea were rivalled by the classic scenery of the new play Gisippus; at the Haymarket, on Tuesday, a Woman- Hater intervened between Marriage and the Boarding-School; and at the Adelphi, on Monday, an amusing case of Breach of Promise of Marriage was brought into court.
