Theatre — London Assurance.

--Every one who taken an interest in the stage will be glad to know that Mr. Peter Richings and Miss Caroline Richings will remain this week at the Theatre, and the intelligence is made even more gratifying by the announcement that the week will be devoted to the production of these fine old comedies to the performance of which the talents of both father and daughter are so admirably suited. To night the service commences with "London Assurance " The cast is one of unusual strength for this city, and to prove it we may mention the distribution of characters: Dezzel, Mr. Richings; Lady Gay Spanker, Miss Richings; Sir Harcourt Courtly. Mr. Balley; Grace Harkaway. Mrs. I B. Phillips; Charles County, Mr. Howe; Dolly Spanker, Mr. Phillips; and Meddle, Mr. Lamb. It is doubtful whether, in any of the Northern Theatres, the same piece could be played with a before cast, taking all the characters together. The "mounting" of the piece will be equal to the cast; for it has never been produced here that the excellent taste of Mr. Moxley has not found some new point to which an improvement might be added. These standard comedies always command refined audiences here, and we suppose to-night may be set down as "fashionable" night, as, indeed, may be all the night of this week.
