THEATRE, DRVRT-LANE. — A very numerous audience lalt night enjoyed the rich treat at this theatre of witneffing the reprefentation of Hamlet. The excellence of Mr. KEMBLE'S thing in that charaCter has been long univerfally acknowledged. Certainly in no inflance was ever a more perfed delineation given of the meaning of the author. He was mofi loudly applauded in his conference with the Ghcjl, in his reproof of Guitlegern and Rofincrantz, and in the clofet fcene, where, after killing Paktum:, he alks--" Is it the King ?" Ophelia was very refpeetably reprefented by Mifs lilacs. Perhaps the was fcarcely enough hurt with liamb's unkindnefs; but in the mad fcene the plaintive wildnefs of her looks was 'extremely aftetting. Mrs. POWELL was the &ern, and fed. tamed lklalefly with confiderable dignity. We do not think Witoooli row, either from his figure or elocution, well fitted to aft the chg. DOWTOM was very entertaining in the facetious, conceited, good.natured Polonirot. SuETr fupplied the place of KING as the Grare-iligger ; his at - ling was rather farcical, but did not fail to give pleafure, and the more on that account, to the gods. The Play was fucceeded by the humorous Farce of the Mock Daaar, sal ic}; went off with its ufual eclat.
