THEATRE ROYAL.
There was a tolerably good attendance in this place of amusement last, evening, when Backstone's excellent drama, "The Flowers of the Forest," was produced with immense success. Mr. 0. Burford 113 the Wolf", and Miss Clara Stepheuson as Cynthia, the Zingara, performed their parts in a most satisfactory manner, and were frequently and loudly applauded. Miss Flora Anstead as Starlight Bess aoted with that vivacity for which that youug Ldy is famous. The other parts were well sustained, particularly tliat of the Kinchin by Mr. J. P. Hydes, whose comic powers as usual delighted the audience; and the scenery and other arrangements were good. This evening the performance will commence with a three-act drama, called " The Crime of Miriam," and will conclude with "La Sonnambula," for which an excellent cast has been arranged.
