The opening of the Princess's Theatre, under a new management, which is announced to take place tonight, looks important. Mr. Charles Kean and Mr. Keeley, eam_ armed with his better half, have become' joint lessees of the establishment ; and thus there is at once a strong nu- cleus, composed of two eminent tragic and two eminent comic performers. From the announcements of TwelfthNight for this evening and of Hamlet for Monday, we might conclude that the views of the new managers are strictly "legitimate" ; but rumour speaks of strong melodrame, and a de- sire to conciliate the "fast" school of critics, as well as those who advo- cate "high art." Whatever be the experiment, there is every reason to infer from the histrionic force, from the commodiousness of the edifice, and from the excellent situation, that it will be properly made.
