.' * • VIEATRES. DRuity-LANE—Saturday night, Mr. MATURIN'S Tragedy of Bertram was performed for the first time this season. With the character of this Piece, and the merits of Mr. KEAN as Bertram, our Readers are fully acquainted, and the reception cf both furnished an unequivocal testimony of undiminished favour. — The novelty of the Play was Miss MACAULEY in the character of Intogen, in the delineation of which she not only justified, but considerably heightened our opinion of her talents.—A Farce, entitled the Blacka nicor's Head, was performed for the first time. The title is derived from an Inn at which Major Dashwell (PENLEv), accompanied by his servant (HARLEY) happen to alight, and find that Miss Huntley (Miss I vkas) to whom the Major is ardently attached, is in the house with her aunt, Mrs. Delacour, (Mrs. HA R• Lowe), on her route to Hyson-hall, the seat of the guardian, a'nd here arise the incidents that form the plot. So the Piece concludes with announcing the marriages of Aubrey and Ellen, and Dashtoell and Miss Huntley. The materials of the pint are cer tainly no great strangers to the stage. The perfor mers exerted all their animation and talent to keep alive the attention, and to exhilirate the spirits of the audience. There were some not unhappy political allusions and palpable hits. Among the latter we recognised a sneer at the solemn declaration of a Gentleman, pretty far advanced in life, that he was fascinated by the mental qualities of a girl of eighteen. This hit could not fail to tell—but yet the genius of', the authot is not remarkably enterprizing, for ex cepting the joke—" that those who are in a steam boat sail in hot water," and a few other effusions of like kind, we could not discover any very striking novelty in the dialogue. Perhaps when the author becomes more aspiring he may be more felicitous in . his composition. Towards the conclusion there were strong symptoms of discontent, but the " contents' appeared to predominate, and the Piece was announ ced for representation for this evening. COVENT Alt DEN.—Saturday night, after the new Tragedy of Bellamira, which still contiaues to at tract, and in which Miss 01;isit.t. and Mr. MACREADY exerted themselves with, if possible, increased eclat; a new Musical Afterpiece, entitled December and May, was performed for the first time. It is professedly taken from the French of MOWER E, but adapted with little art to the genius of our stage. The disappro bation of the audience was manifested early, and con tinued to the last moment. The plot is founded on a contract of marriage between a Young Beauty and an Old Usurer, and the scheme of the former to get clear of the engagement, in order - to marry a suitor more to her taste, constitutes the humour of the Piece. Mr. FAWCETT laboured through the part of the Usurer with little success, and Miss STEPHENS re presented the Young Lady most happily when she sung. Mr. EMERY had a character in it of which he could make but little, though it was that of a York shire servant. The music, by Mr. BISHOP, has some merit, but there is nothing either in the Piece itself, or in the manner of its reception, to induce us to think that it will sucz..!ed. n . • T th in fu ar T th sh of na. tit (F h.

BELFAST, MAYll.—Mrs. SPREAD, who honoured our boards on Friday night, by making her first appear ance, as a candidate for theatrical fame, has become, since her intentions wet e known, an object of so much public curiosity, that we feel we cannot gratify our Readers more than by giving some account of her.— Mrs. SPREAD, formerly Miss HENRIETTA DEANE, is the only daullner of Lord MUSKERRY. She was mar ried at the early age of 1 to Major HENRY SPREAD, a Gentleman of the highest respectability in the county of Cork, being son and brother to Gentlemen possessing a great landed interest in that county : his second brother, la:cly married to the Honourable Miss NVINGFELD—his sister being the beautiful Mrs. HENRY DEANE GRADY of Mertion-square, Dublin. Mr. SPREAD, the subject cf our present observations, may be remembered here nine years ago, when, with her father as Colduel, and husband as Major, of the county Limerick Militia, they were quartered in this town, and herself remarked for her extreme youth as a w.ife, and great sprightliness. Habits of hospi tality in his living, and a failure of some well-groun ded hopes of a civil employment, have involved Ma jor SPREAD in some unforeseen difficulties ; and her brother, General DEANE, being at present in Ame rica, too remote to step to the aid of his sister and her husband, with that independence and energy of spirit not always attendant on high birth, it was resolved that Mrs. SPREAD should try the stage, in the hope that a brilliant knowledge and taste in music, highly cultivated as an accomplishment, might be rendered the means of present support to herself, and of extri cating her husband from his difficulties. As his pre sent situation is such that he could not attend his wife himself, it was determined he should commit her to the care of Mr. TALBOT, both for the benefit of his experience as an actor, and because there exists a near relationship between the Ladies of both Gen tlemen, on the side of Mrs. SPREAD'S father. Mrs. SPREAD'S first appearance was, as announced, in the parts of Amelia Wildenheim, in Lover's Vows, and Virginia, in Paul' and Virginia. Her countenance and figure, being extremely youthful, made the choice a very judicious one ; and a very lively, play ful, and natural manner, justify us in saying, that a little experience, and a more dignified carriage, will render her a very successful candidate for public fa vour. ller voice in singing, is clear, melodious, and of great compass, and, though tremulous at times, from excess of timidity, she 'hewed herself posseised of very superior musical abilities. On the whole, her first appearance was altogether so good, that few per sons believed it to be her first I we can, therefore, on the very best authority declare, that Mrs. SPREAD never trod the stage till that night, except at rehearsal; I I nor, as we are assured, ever had the doing so in con templation till within these last two months, when the Major's situation was for the first time disclosed to her. The Parks, from the humidity of the atmosphere, were but very thinly amended yesterday. Thepare, however, was thickly sprinkled with soi-disane mili- Saires, wit!! spurs, stays, and mustachios, a-la-Cos vrel—Among the few equipages on the " Wel lington" were those of the Duke of DEVONSUIRE, the SI4AITILIIBURY Family, Lady ELLYNBOROUGH, the Hon. Miss LAW, Hon. Miss Bnoexarce, and some few others of the Ikas Mande. FROM SATURDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. CROWN-OFFICE, MAY 15, 1818. Magma returned to serve in this present PAILLIAMOTT.

Several rooms on the first floor were appropriated for breakfast, and at seven the Chair was taken in the large Hall, but from the immense numbers present, many were obliged to retire for want of room. The Report was then read, and stated the number of Tracts issued last year to have exceed ed three millions and a half, that gratuitous supplies had been made to the Army an d Navy, the Collieri on the Thames, the crews of the four ships going on the Arctic Expedition, the Convict-ships and Prison, &c. In New South Wales above 3000 had been gladly received, and a valuable accession of strength to the Society had taken place in Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Malacca, China, &c. At Berlin, and twenty other places in Prussia, Societies of the same nature were also formed, and it was expected that translations would be made in the Polish and Wendish languages. Their funds were rapidly in creasing, and this year amounted to 61321. Os. 10d. but they were under engagements for various grants to promote the printing of Tracts, in different parts of the world, 300/. and for printing paper 270/. mak ing in the whole 5701. The Meeting were then ad dressed in several interesting speeches by R. Man- TEN, Esq. the Rev. Dr. HENDERSON from Russia, Rev. Messrs. RICHMOND, WARREN, WARDLAW (of Glasgow), SAUNDERS (Rector of St. Anne's,. Black friars), Buaorat, PHILIP (of Aberdeen), IlLurr, and Waxy (of Sudbury), &c. The speeches detailed some very important facts relative to the success of the Society, and a variety also of interesting anec dotes. One of the Russian Princesses has for some time been busily employed in translating sevcial of the Society's Tracts into the Russian language, and under her patronage and that of the Emperor ALEX ANDER, above 200,000 have been distributed in Russia, exclusive of many thousands sent there by this and other Societies. The Emperor had been so highly gratified with reading the tract of " The Dairyman's Daughter," that he sent very valuable ring to the Rev. LEIGH RICHMOND, author of that and other excellent tracts; and, in a letter to Mr. RICHMOND, expressed his earnest wish for the success of the Society. There were Societies now formed in every part of Russia, Siberia, among the Calmuc Tartars, and even under the wall of China. This was a strong encouragement for the parent Institution to proceed in its labours of love.—At ten the Meeting separated, highly gratified with the proceedings of the morning, and a liberal collection was received at the doors of the Hall. It was a matter of the deepest regret that there was no place sufficiently large to accommodate these Anniversary Meetings ; but mea- , sures have been adopted to erect a building by sub scription, for the better convenience of the Public. ' Amongst the early luxuries of Covent-Garden Market on Saturday last, were ripe cherries in pound punts, at two guineas thepunet, had green pease at three guineas the half-sieve! _ CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE.
