Psalm. Mrs. C. Kemble was the Lady Capulet for that night only. Mrs. Davenport was the Nurse; we need not say how it was played.

TUESDAY, October 6.- The Provoked Husband; Vanbrugh and Cibber.-Therèse.

Lady Townley, Miss Ellen Tree (her first appearance at this theatre), who possesses many requisites for the personation of this lively votary of fashion. Her manners are lady-like, her deportment genteel, and her enunciation clear and pleasing; and, moreover, her dresses are always remarkably appropriate. But we think that her comic powers are hardly equal to that flow of vivacity and eloquent raillery which distinguishes the character. She expressed her penitence with much sensibility, and told the story of her heart in a manner that suitably impressed the audience. Mr. Kemble's Lord Townley is very correct. The polished ease and affability of his deportment conciliated us to a love of the dignity of his character, by rendering it pleasing and amiable, though it renders the conduct of Lady Townley doubly culpable. Miss Laurence, who, a few seasons ago, made her debut as Juliet, at Drury Lane, performed Lady Grace. Since that period, she has been playing at Manchester, and other principal towns, and has greatly improved. Her acting was remarkably lady-like, and very graceful. In the after-piece, Miss Kelly commenced her nine nights' gratuitous performance in the part of Therese; she was received with three rounds of applause. Mr. Abbott played the Pastor, and Mr. Warde, Carwin.

WEDNESDAY, October 7.-Romeo and Juliet.-Charles II.; Payne. Lady Clara, Miss Laurence.

THURSDAY, October 8.--The Clandestine Marriage; Colman and Garrick.-The Devil's Elixir; Ball.

Lord Ogleby, Mr. Jones, from the Edinburgh Theatre; Brush, Mr. Power; Melville, Mr. Abbott. We were prevented attending the theatre this evening; but many of the papers, especially the Examiner, spoke very highly of Mr. Jones's acting. After the play, Mr. Drouet played Weber's air of the Huntsman's Chorus, with variations, on the flute; a gratuitous performance.

FRIDAY, October 9.-Romeo and Juliet.- The Invincibles. Victoire, Mrs. Keeley.

SATURDAY, October 10. First of May (1st time).-Day after the Wedding.-Therèse.

Dramatis Persona.-King Edward the Fourth; Mr. C. KEMBLE ; Harry Woodville, brother to Elizabeth, Mr. WARDE; Roger Oldgrave, a Merchant, Mr. BLANCHARD; Jonas Chick, Horseboy to the King, Mr. KEELEY: Lady Elizabeth Grey, Miss E. TREE; Katharine

Travers, Ward to Oldgrave, Miss FORDE; Widow Jolly, her Aunt, Mrs. GIBBS.

King Edward the Fourth, in a hunting excursion, meets with the Lady Elizabeth Grey, and is so much charmed with the beauty of her mien and features, that he resolves to make her his queen. Harry Woodville arrives at his sister's castle, for there the scene is laid, and knowing the king's libertine principles, imagines that he intends playing false to Elizabeth; but is soon satisfied that his suspicions are most unjust. The king, however, in revenge for Woodville's bad opinion of him, resolves to play him some trick, and very opportunely meets with Kate Travers alone, who had that instant arrived at the castle, having just made her escape, in a boy's cloak and hat, from Oldgrave, who had tried to force her into a marriage with him. The king has the lady conveyed, by Jonas Chick, his faithful groom, to his private apartments. This affair, by some means, reaches the ears of Elizabeth, who resolves to view her supposed rival. This scene we have given; and as the plot ends here, it will be sufficient to observe, that all parties are made perfectly happy at the conclusion.

The comedy (as it is styled in the bills) is written by Miss Isabel Hill; and notwithstanding we are bound, by the laws of gallantry, to speak favourably of a lady's production, we must say, that it is one of the most worthless and soporific productions we ever recollect witnessing. It was well acted; that is to say, the actors were well dressed, and spoke the dialogue very sensibly, for they had literally nothing to do.

MONDAY, October 19.-Romeo and Juliet.-Peter Wilkins.

TUESDAY, October 20.- The First of May.- The Weathercock; Allingham.-The Woodman's Hut.

Mr. Balls, from the Dublin Theatre, played Tristam Fickle. He has the advantages of a genteel person and a good looking countenance, but his action is not sufficiently mercurial for so-lively a character,

and his utterance is clogged with difficulties which we fear he cannot overcome, for his voice is harsh and inflexible. Miss Kelly played and sang Variella delightfully.

WEDNESDAY, October 21.-Romeo and Juliet.-The Invincibles.

THURSDAY, October 22.-The First of May.-The Robber's Bride (1st time).-The Waterman.

Dramatis Persona.- Mr. Briarly, Mr. FAWCETT; Mr. Penpuddle, Mr. BLANCHARD; Larry O'Gig, Mr. POWER; Mark Redland, alias Murdock, Mr. ABBOTT; Red Body, Mr. EVANS; Drosset, Mr. Mears; Sawney Macfile, Mr. KEELEY; Smelter, Mr. COLLET; Clipp'em, Mr. J. COOPER; Mouser, Mr. TURNOUR; Tip, Mr. ADAMSON; Rose Redland, Miss E. TREE.

Mark Redland, a returned convict, is the landlord of an inn where travellers are robbed and murdered, according to the recipe of the most approved melo-dramatic writers; but as the murdering trade does not prove very profitable, he is in league with a large band of coiners. It may be as well to observe here, that Rose, Mark's wife, is the daughter of a Mr. Briarly, who had been obliged to leave the country, from the indifferent state of his finances, and that, during his absence, she had married Redland, a man to whom her father had always borne a great aversion. At the opening of the piece, Mr. Briarly, accompanied by his solicitor, arrives at the village where Redland is following his murderous profession, and is compelled by the weather to take shelter at Redland's inn. He is marked out for assassination; but Rose, interested by his appearance, goes to his apartment, to endeavour to save him. By his portmanteau, she discovers him to be her father. (Quite an original idea, we must confess!) The recognition is not at first mutual, as she had been obliged to stain her face and hair, to elude the search made after her husband. Briarly at length also ascertains it, as well as the perilous situation in which he is placed. Just as he is on the point of falling a victim to Redland and his lawless band, a party of soldiers enter and secure him. Redland is shot, and the piece concludes with Briarly receiving his penitent and fainting daughter to his arms.

This drama is written by Mr. Pococke, and is founded on one of the tales of the Munster Festivals, and has been before dramatized by Mr. T. Dibdin, under the title of Shuil Dhu. Miss Tree's acting, as the wretched and penitent Rose, was fraught with deep and natural feeling, and reminded us very strongly, in one scene, of that beautiful simplicity and heart-felt emotion, which Miss M. Tree displayed in her inimitable performance of Clari. The scene we allude to is when the unfortunate daughter is anxious to discover herself to her father, and claim his forgiveness, yet is fearful that her errors are

irremissible, Mr. FAWCETT, by his admirable acting, excited much interest in the part of Briarly. We wonder if Harley, who now sustains Fawcett's youthful characters, will ever raise our tears: for be it recollected, that the former was as much laughed at in his early days, when he attempted to be pathetic, as the latter would be now. Mr. Power obtained much applause by his easy and correct personation of Larry O'Gig, a warm-hearted Irishman, who has left Erin's green isle to take possession of his cousin Briarly's property, from his having supposed him to be dead. Keeley made the trifling part of Sawney Macfile very amusing, by his quaint and truly original acting.

FRIDAY, October 23.-Romeo and Juliet.-The Robber's Bride. SATURDAY, October 24.-The First of May.-The Devil's Elixir.The Weathercock.

In consequence of the sudden indisposition of Miss Tree, Miss Laurence had to sustain her character in the comedy. We cannot help noticing the strange mismanagement displayed here, in continuing to perform The First of May, when, to our certain knowledge, it has not drawn one tolerable house; on the contrary, it has been played every night to empty benches.

In Batatavia, or, Sancho turned Genoese, Mr. Reeve appeared as Sancho. Among many other instances of discernment exhibited by the intelligent stage manager, we must notice the reviving of a farce,

which was justly condemned ten years ago for its coarseness and vulgarity.

MONDAY, October 5.-The Foundling of the Forest.-Sweethearts and Wives.-John of Paris.

TUESDAY, October 6.—Town and Country; Morton.—Procrastination.-Love, Law, and Physic.

Mr. Kean, jun. appeared for the first time here as Reuben Glenroy. His acting, in some scenes, was very powerful, and had it possessed one spark of originality, would have been deserving of high encomium; but he is so servile an imitator of his father, not in one, but in every respect, that he is to be considered little more than in the light of an automaton. Some persons declare Mr. Kean, jun. is a young man of high intellect; but to this we cannot agree, while he takes such pains to copy all his father's defects. Common sense

should teach him to separate the chaff from the wheat. If he must imitate his father's style, "let him throw away the grosser part of it, and act the purer with the other half." He was well received by an excellent house.

WEDNESDAY, October 7.-Romeo and Juliet.-Rencontre.-Animal Magnetism.-Romeo, Mr. Kean, jun.; Juliet, Miss H.F. Kelly; Mercutio, Mr. Vining; Nurse, Mrs. Glover; Friar Laurence, Mr. Andrews.

If we judged of actors by their bulk, as the Chinese do of their kings, the latter gentleman and Mr. Weeks would be inimitable.

The season has been prosperous, though few exertions have been made by the managers to deserve success. The company was less respectable, and the novelties more contemptible, than any season we
