In the mean time, Tyke ~ n .F. d itcovered that Frederick is it -; :en, who ruthes nn, and Lord Avondale, on beholding his • 'c .nd child reflored, kneels to Heaven ingratitude and contrition. The comic incidents are fumithed by the agency of Mr. and "h:.e.

In•ieed we Item critics, albeit unufed to tli.r melting mood," ft.lt two or three times a inoniure droppiig from our eyes. Although the cataillophe is .atily forefeen before the end of the fecond aft, the plot I:, highly interefling, and the whole play, excepting one or two trifling paffages, which a fecoad repreitntation will alter, was received with unatial applaufe. We think the tneaturea tared by Lord Avondale to obtain the papers relating to his Rid marria l ,e are not very ditlindtly onderftood I Neither Lin we Mink it natural that be &mild onbo fom himfelf to Frederic, immediately after Witting thar lir! was his rival in the affedions of Julia: Bat thefe are fpots in the Sun. • Tie language and tenements were akonglt fait tod app!aided. One expreflltan among others we par:ict:larly admired : If there be fuch a thing as tioly Water, it i; the Sinner!, Tears." Marines of Bent rolence, Honour and Religion are warmly in. cultated, perhaps more warmly, and frequently than iii any fimilar prodation. One remark we mull take the liberty of making. Thefe fentiments were too often followed and debated, fometimes in the feene, though not in the fathe characters, by that trfe,of vulgar oaths which we have fo cooliant ly reprobated The author ha,. ihtroduced fome wit and much aptnefs of allufion. In defcribing the exotic plants of a hot.houfe, Ferment, pointing to the ladies in the boxes, obferved that they wers " beatmitul to behold, bin difficult to collat." The aa.iia was excellent. We were among the t; foretell the eminence of t stilly. In this play he riles to a height fuperior to any thing he has br ier; exhibited. The agonies of guilt, re.nrure, and deip.i:r. have never appeared in a manner more cal culated to harrow the foul of the fpeEtator. Mrs. LiicHriELD Aim with every new charafler.

The other chsrallers we hive net room to dircriminite ; but we cannot fpcak of any in terms of difapproba tion. _ _ Coe proof of the public regard to decency we re cord with pleaftrre. One of the inferior female eh:t raders appeared in a Ilyle of drefs, which drew forth into! reprelicntion : in the nest icene her drefs was ahercd, and the compliance was greeted with a bur of pplaufe. The play will continue long to attr,R crowded I flies. We c.wilider the author in the ad.t degree , •1 dramat;e excelleorc to Mr. COL MAN. An alkition was made to his former prnduCions in the 17.ptir:g•te, which is laid to be the competition of Mr. LITC - ;I LI), and was charmingly fpoken by Mrs. Ltrca rikLD The Prologue is the plothedion ot Il4r.Ts Y- LoR, and was neatly delivered by that maga and meddling alor, Mr. Bauscrow. The new Comedy of The Scl al of Reform was lan ritzlit performed, notwiasltanding the badnefs of the tvdiing, to a very crowded audience. As it flood in need of very little alteration, but few curtailments have been made. We found irefh reafon, on repe- Hon, to admire the general conduit of the piece, to ,-,:ther with the found fettle and appropriate language ~ f :he dialogue. The fecund aR polfeffes theatrical merit in a very high degree. The Equivoque be tween Ferment and 7 . 0 e, and the fubfequent interview the latter with La, d Avondale, are managed in a n.:nner which proves that the Author pollees a ritic.tl know edge of the dramatic art. The fentibi '..y of the audtcnce was extremely affected by the re lations given 'oy Tyße to Lord Amid.. or the repara tion from his father, and by the pathetic interview which afterwards takes place between the old Far mer and his reclaimed Son. The Performers fullained their• feveral charatiers with improved ability. Mr. Lewis gave the utmoa aid which his peculiar powers are capable of affording_ to the part of Ferment, and met with much merited applanfe. The affected fimplicity, low cunning, knavint propenfities, and afterwards the fincere con trition of Tyk, were depiEled by EMERY in a manner which does equal honour to his feelings as a man, and to his talents as an aCtor.
