THEATRE ROYAL.
The Theatre Royal was numerously attended on Saturday night, the pit being thickly packed. The entertainment was in every respect worthy the attendance. The vocal selections were excellently performed, and elicited great applause, while the funniments of Messrs. Sutton and Kelly were productive of unlimited mirth. Several short farces were performed during the evening, the concluding one being " Bill Jones' Cousin," in which Messrs. Sutton, Campbell, and Eockefeller appeared, and created roars of laughter, especially in the latter part, where the two former gentlemen, representing characters who affect pugilism, engage in comjbat of a novel and eccentric kind : their acting was simply irresistible. To-night the troupe will appear again for the last time. It had been determined (o conclude the season on Saturday night, but the company have consented by request to give one more performance, which will be for the benefit of Messrs. Kelly and Sutton, two gentlemen who have gained a well-deserved popularity in the township.
