ENGLISH THEATRICALS.
Actors of merit in England are very late;
the profession is not as profitable as it formerly
was. Mr. Bartley, so justly esteemed for
his private and professional worth in this country,
delivered lectures on astronomy last winter,
in London, and has been since performing
with Mrs. Bartley in provincial theatres, and
with success. Mr. Phillips talks of again visiting
the United States, and assisting to establish
a good Opera company, which is more
generally profitable, from the prevailing taste
for musick. Miss Wilson and Miss Mallande,
rivals of Miss Stephens, are said to be by no
means equal to the late Miss Le Sugg. Wallack
is playing first characters at Drury-Lane.
The packet, which leaves Liverpool on the
first of August, will probably bring some performers
for our new Theatre.
