Princess's Theatre.—Romeo and Juliet was repeated last night, followed by the farce of " A Pleasant Neighbour, for tbe benefit of the Orphan Asylum. We were sorry to see that the house was but partially filled. The farce is but a poor one, and we regret to say that a second hearing of the tragedy does not induce us to alter our unfavorable opinion. It is in every respect the least satisfactory performance we have yet seen at the Princess's. At the same time, when gentlemen come to the theatre to converse as loudly as if they were in a taproom bar, as some did last nighfc we cannot but expect that the actors will be a good deal put out. The screaming of children in the pit was, we suppose, the nervousness of some of the orphans.
