Adelphi Theatre.
This Thea, re opened last night for tllc srason. Dtiring the recess it underwent considerable alteration and enbellishtncnt, by which it has becnt materially inmproved, particutlarlv bv having a dre ss circic of boxes cnclosed froni thc others, an(d reN ltanlsomelyc decorated, and by an enlargemient of thc orchestra. In comiipliance with the prevailing taste of the pubic, or tather its want ot taste, the propri. I etors lrave coimnienced thc scason with a ijIelo-drainatic specta- tc, called< "actno,rfldi, or Tlc U,nialloiwle 'Sepiillrr. LI aving m)entioned the title of the picce, and Just adding that the story is taken frotii Godwin's St. Lo.on, with a sutflicicnt number of d.moris, goblins, owls, bats, ravens, and "- visions oa terror," pressed into its service in the Der FreiscLhgtz style, wu dscpair .t [hle u-. (terstaniditig of the reader to whom another wor(d waild hc necessary to put htin it) possession of the. whole business o?' the piece. 'l he compiler, we understand, is Mlr. Uo,lwell. The materiais which conipose thc chlari in thc incaitationt scneti hc has borrowcd froml the witchiesi in AiJeb.riIt ; and the ow4s, btts, and ravens. which atteid iqpon it, he tids borrowed (or perhtaps purchased) from .Mr. Arinold, of the E nglish Opera. Sotne of the sccrety is cx- trciiely gcod, particularlv a dlouble paintiiip, prescrUtitue a moonlight view of the tatal abbey, whicih tipon occasion si(iddenil changes into an equestrian spectre; and another, in the brinqteet sceine, which also changes into a ipectre. The cflect of ti:csc is very striking. The procession ol the Autio d 1'e is well aratnged * but this scene tertii- natcs rather lamely. The dresses are excellent; atid. indeed, trouii the nan8ner in whicil the vholc atfitir is got op, it is evident (to use the wordsot the bill) that" a little fortutne hasi bees expetdcie ulpon ii." We are rather deceived, howvr cr, if it will n1ot return principal and interest, with sonic hew aninendments. Of thebc the moist cssenuita iS general curuflituent (it was n9ot over before hialt pt'st I I o'clocli) - atnd thtc ncxt is the ottuission of a scrit-nade, wihic,h liatl nCarlv dalneCti tIhe whole. Indeed, tihc itmusic altogether (except the overture), andl the words calkl poetry t wuhich it is " wedded.," arc short of wnc- diocrity. ---- ADELPIII TIIE,ITI?E.
