Theatre Eoyal.— The Lady of Lyons was repeated laet night, and was as successful as on its previous performance, the principal artists being again and again heartily applauded, and at the end of each act called before the curtain. To-night, Tom Taylor's emotional and romantic drama, The Fool's Revenge will be performed. To-morrow night there will be another change. The season is rapidly passing away, and those who admire good acting should make the moet of their present op* ! portunity.
