' Wednefday night the Young Gentlemen of Weft- minfter School performed, for the feeondtime, accord in g to annual cuflom, TERINCIA celebrated Play. Tbe AdiO. The salt of the piece was exactly the fame as on the firft reprefentallon, and we should have Teri little indeed to add to our former remarks, were it not that the intervening (pace of time has been fo well employed, that the performance of laft evening clearly evinced the preceding one to hare been merely a grand public tehearfal. On the prefent occafion, alkt, the play was preceded by a prologue, which was fpoken in Latin, by Mr. SMYTH. in a very animated and maflerly fiyle, and received by the audience with many acknowledgments of loud and repeated plaudits. The fame gentleman was equally fuccefsful in his portraiture of - the philo fophic Mitio ; and, from the firft to the laft of the part, created and maintained a degree of intereft in the breafts of the audience, which reflefted the higheft honour on Ms talk, his judgment, and his feeling.— The following paffages were given in a ftyle which drew down thunders of applaufel: • Allquld, aah, quenquatone Amblers in animum inflituere, ant Parcae, quod lit carius, quail Ipfe eit fibi?" and almolt immediately afterwards, as defctiptive of his own charafter : et, quod iortunatum jilt want, Usorem nuoquam label. Ilk contra, laze amnia e and then: " Nan! Old menttrl aut falicre 'dark Patron, ant Audebit, unto magi, adebit actual. Podium et ilberalitate ilberos Retinae, Latins ode credo, clam men." The limits (flour paper will not permit us to give many quotations, or we could add many more which were equally well delivered ; and (hall. therefore, content ourfelves with laying, that Mr. SMYTH played the part throughout in a very fuperior Ityle of afting, and richly merited the repeated plaudits he obtained. We cannot call to mind two parts ' more naturally and more pleafaritly contrafted than thofe of thefe two brothers ; and, after what we have laid of the Gentleman who played Mitt.. we cannot, in order to avoid repetition, do more ample juftice to Mr. Lur T 'a Dames, than to fay— Paz while fratrum." It was really a high finifbed piece of aCting, par ticularly in the fourth aft. His peevilli and irritated delivery of the following line, Me ecru et mater.fandltu in urea donor and the tool phildophie anfwer of Mile, " Cur non !" had a fort of elearie effe& and produced, of courfe, a fucceeding peal of thunder. The part of Sammie was extremely well performed by Mr. Dar, and it being (hefted in the ftyle of the Belcher' of the day, gave an extraordinary effeft to the elegant Latin of TIMM The Gera of Mr. Mactwoarti was given in a Rile and manner, fo fitople, fo eafy, fo natural, and at the fame time with fo much real feeling, that we cannot do him more ample Office, than by Paying, that we believe every auditor who did not underftand a fyllable of Latin. was as much affeded as if it had been equally well delivered in the Englifts tongue. Great praife is alfo due to Mr. 1. C 's Thsto and the Serata and Gotthard of Mr. Wicaaaw and Mr. Law ; thefe charaCters are but fhort, and certainly are, compa ratively with the others, of (mall confequence ; but they are companent parts, without which, the play could not be perfed, and it is.highly to their credit, that their efforts were by no means leis fuccefiful than thofe who had more brilliant parts aligned them. In (host, we do not hefisate to fay, that the whole Play was a finiftied performance. A very humourous and nervous Epilogue. in di alarm, followed, and was a dmirabl y well delivered by Mr. DAY and Mr. FULA, in the diameters of Sammie and Syria. Having thus given, as far as our limits will per mit, our fentiments as to the performance of the play, we deem it incumbent to inform our readers of the feveral celebrated perfonages who honoured that per formance with their prefence. We think it proper to announce, in the Mt in (lance, that truly worthy and dignified Prelate, the Archbifhop of Yolk, the learned allot Manx KAM, once the Mailer of Weßminfter School, who was re ceived on his writ with universal and euthufiaftic applaufe. With fuch as auditor fitting near to the Rage, we cannot wonder that the allots were ftimu lated by a fitmething more than common impeiw, and that their efforts were accordingly crowned with el traordinaty effeft and fuccefs. After the Right Rev. Prelate, came his Grace of BEDFORD and Dr. Via tear ; and fait. Though not the kad in oor dear love," appeared the rain &Aim:, who was inftantly recog. riled, and received with a torrent of applaufe. He was led through the we pit, and coto nduaedt ro behind d the keno, in order, as fiippofe, be induce to the feveral performers of the evening. In a few mi nutes he returned, and was placed, with his friends, in the fide box on the ri, , ,ht hand from the Rage.— This extraordinary youth, always highly interelling, never appeared more fo to us than on the prefent oc cafion. He teemed to be truly fenfible that he was a fpellator and auditor of the performance of Come youths who are the firft fcholars. and allied to the &ft families in thl kingdom ; that he was attending to the language and fentiments of one of the molt ce lebrated among the Roman dramatic writers,and that in the auditory there were prefent Come of the molt learned ammeters of the precept day. He was Sc.' cordingly *Willed in the deepeß attention in every . part of she fcene ; fo truly fo, that his countenance ; energetically feemed to fay with the Poet - Let one be all, but my anowien ftin Nor was it the mere puerile attention of a boy of thirteen—it appeared that of a deep thinking adult— nor was it ever interrupted or changed inter boyilli playfulnefs or inattention between the OK We never witneffed a more fedate and decorous deport ment in the gravel! men. He is truly, both on and off the ftage, an abfolute Phenomenon. The Dot mitory, outfide the precincts of the thea tre, was crowded w;th the fcholars DO others wait ing his departure. which be made in the moll enga7,- ing and graceful manner, *min the univocal and heart felt plaudits of all prefect. The Theatre overflowed with an elegant company.
