THEATRE ROYAL.
There was an excellent attendance at this theatre on Saturday night, wlipn the performance commenced with the Irish comedy of " Rory O'More," in which Air. Charles O'Brien sustained the part of the goodnutured, thundering, but ready-witted Rory with great ability. He received a call before the curtain at the end of the piece, and the curtain rose after every act. Sir. Joyce sustained the part of the Frenchman Welskin with his usual good taste, and the other male characters were ably sustained by Messrs. Howard, Keogh, South, Thorpe, and Hooper. Mrs. Walter Hill was of course the heroine of the story, and ilrs. Howard abiy backed up the efforts of this lady. The afterpiece was the new burlesque of " Brown among the Brahmins," a piece replete with songs, choruses, dances, &c, and very smartly written throughout. It was exceedingly well placed upon the stage, and passed off very well for a first night's representation. This evening the performance will commence with Tom Taylor's comedy of " Helping Hands," and conclude with the burlesque of " Brown amongst the Brahmins."
