... DRURY LANE. In going through his range of characters at this theatre Mr. G. V. Brooks took the part of Iago on-Satur- dsy to Mr. Davenport's Othells. If Mr. Brooke baa any merit it is unquestionably his power, er rather his vigour, which-is, as we think, the characteristic of his robust style. There is farlees scope for this faculty in the character of lago than in that of Othello, so that his ...

... DRIVUY-LANE. A new five-act play wvas produced here last night, under the title of Tile Betrotoal. -It is from the pen of Mr. George H. Baker, an American author (we believe), whose previous drama of Chaaynos met with some degree of success a few vears since.

... DBAMA. - DRURY LANE. At this theatre a dramatic season was commenced f last night, The speciality is the engagement of Mr. G. V. .1 Brooke, who opened in Othello. W*e believe that Mr. r Brooke's performance of that character is not new to the London stage, but that it took its turn with other represen- . tations during his former engagements ia town.
