The " Colleen Bawn " still continues its successful, course at the Theatre Royal, and each representation brings a host of admirers, the efforts of the management being fully appreciated. The various characters, as heretofore, are well sustained, and the scenery attracts universal admiration. We are promised, on Monday next, a change in the performance — " Aladdin, or the Wonderful

Scamp," a Chinese burlesque, being announced. Mr. Massey is hard at work, preparing for its production ; and as , the management spare no expense to produce a good effect, "Cinderella" will probably be outrivalled. The theatre will be closed this evening. ___^_______»«.
