THE THEATRES.

Theatrical amusements remain in statu quo. At the Haymarket, the bills are indeed constantly varied; but it is only to go through the series of Adelphi pieces, and an attempt at novelty is not even professed. On a similar principle, a series of well-established "Keeley pieces," selected from the repertoires of different theatres, are in course of performance at distant Marylebone; where Mr. and Mrs. Keeley, who have been engaged for a limited time, are said to have actually solved the problem of "draw- ing money." The people about Marylebone are not easy to attract; but perhaps that peculiar point and piquancy, which render Mrs. Keeley such a favourite at whatever house she appears, may touch even the cold heart of a Paddingtonian.
