ENGLIMITHEATRICALS IN HOLLAND.—An English Theatrical Company has been lately established in Hol land, performing alternately at Amsterdam and the Hague. Mr. Aubrey, the Manager, by offers of liberal terms, had formed a very respectable company. The performances commenced the beginning of last month, when Mr. KEAN, junior, performed Young Norval with great applause. Miss F. H. KELLY arrived soon after, and appeared on the 19th in the part of Juliet, Mr. KEAN playing Romeo. The house was crowded, and the performances was received with so much applause, that it was repeated at the Hague on the following Sa turday, the King and Queen of the NETHERLANDS and the Prince and Princess of ORANGE forming part of the auditory. The company returned to Amsterdam, for the purpose of perfor m i n g there on the following Tue sday, but were thunderstruck to find that the Manager had dis appeared with all the money that had been received. A meeting of the performers was held, when Miss F. H. KELLY, to save those of the company who had no means of support from the dreadful consequences of the Ma nager's desertion, offered to bear the whole expences, and pay the performers their full salaries for a month, provided Mr. KEAN would give his gratuitous services during that period—a proposal to which he instantly agreed ; but some of the performers not approving of the arrangement, it was not carried into effect ; and it is now apprehended, that after having commenced with so much premise, the undertaking will be entirely abandoned after performing four nights in aid of the poorer members of the company, for which benevolent purpose Mr. KEAN and Miss F. H. KELLY have given their services gratuitously. THE THEATRES. DRURY LANE.—KEAN'S OTHELLO. If the ill-concealed, but not the less malignant, arts to which the jealous, the selfish, and illiberal detractors of KEA N'S transcendent talents have had recourse, ex cited, even in oar minds, and--there are few more en thusiastic admirers of his great genius—coruickrubh. anxiety for the result of his first generous effort in :ad of the Theatre, with which the proudest recollvvtioas of his fame must. ever be asAociated ; we need scarcely say how pleasurably that anxiety was dis pelled, and our most sangdine hopes re-assured, on seeing the most original and gifted actor of his age restored to that high station which his own mental powers achieved, in the perfect and unmingled triumph with which he " passed the Rubicon." His success in Richard, pre-eminent as it unquestionably was, may prove, we trust, but the auspicious renewal of a splendid career, which, though clouded for a season by calumny, yet Like bright metal on a sullen ground, Stull show more goodly, and attract more eyel, Than that which bath no foil to set it off." At the brilliant close of RICHARD, the mere an nouncement of 0 rtter.t.o--in which KEAN'S matchless portraiture of the self-toitaring wretchedness by which jealousy can subdue the noblest nature, and fir ever make desolate the happiest spirit, was to be wrontht upon, and the display of its perfection heightened, by the contrasted excellence of YoUNG'S lago —was re oe:ved with such universal, and we may add, such rap two vce'aim, from every part of the Theatre, that we were q tit* prepared for the effect upon the public mind, of an a tractien, which the dearth of tragic talent, and the unworthy bickering. of the few clever performers now left to the stage, have rendorered of such rare occurrence. At four o'clock on Friday afternoon, the doors of Drury Lane were thronged by those who, foreseeing the difficulty of gaining admission at the re gular hour, had hastened thither to secure seats in the pit and galleries; and even so early as half-past six, it was impossible to obtain an advantageous place in any part of the boxes. Yet, multitudinous as the vast con course was, we never witnessed less confusion in the theatre; indeed no attempt was made to disturtsthe general tranquillity. Of KEAN'S Othello, we have never yet heard or read one opinion, entitled to any consideration, that did not award to the merit of the actor, the most un qualified praise and admiration. By men of alt rank, and of all parties, in society—by the most acccmplished scholars, and the most distinguished poets of ow day-- by the most powerful orators, and the most acute ob servers of the workings of the human mind—by the most discriminating and the most fastidious critics :—by each, and all, has the Othello of EDMUND KEAN been pro nounced the chef-crceurre of dramatic genius. Thee highly, thus justly appreciated, it would be a work of supererogation to dwell minutely upon every beauty that such a performance developer—upon every scintillation of intense feeling that bashes through the gloom of the noble Moor's deep mental agony, consuming the very soul within —as lightning melts away the tom pored steel ,yet leaves the sheath unscathed.—Who can, unmoved, behold that fear ful embodying of the Poet's most sublime conception of mortal misery—that palpable semblance of every:haul ing and remorseless anguish,— " The keen, burning, harrowing pain, Now felt through all thy breast and brain, That spasm of terror, mute, intense, • That breathless, agonized suspense, From whose hot throb, whose deadly aching, The heart bath no relief but breaking !—" Who can contemplate, unawed, the desolittion springing from the blight of the heart's most fond affections—who can behold the poor betrayed Othello, mighty in his weakness, and terrible in the oppression of his woes, and the destruction of his all of earthly happiness, even there— ,. Where he had garnered up his heart, 1 Where either be must Use, or have no Ilfe'— without feeling the most latent sensibilities of our elm mon nature aroused, and the most secret springs of its tenderest sympathies touched by a chord whose least vi brations thrill through the frame ? KEA N'S pathos comes over us, like the resistless breathing of a charm in the midst of a terrific peal of thunder—and the phrenzy of that mind, too nobly generous and unsuspecting to cope with the damning malignity of his sly and subtle destroyer, was finely contrasted w.th the melting and sub duing tenderness in which his spirit, over powered by its workings, died away. From his first entrance with /ago—and here it is impossible not to notice the liberal and delicate respect to pro fessional courtesy which YOUNG evinced, by following at such an interval as allowed the audience to mark, without co-rivalship, their sense of KEAN'S merits, by as enthusiastic a reception as ever he experienced : from his first reply to his " ancient," to the moment of his fall, there was nothing wanting, even in the minutest touches, to constitute the most perfect personification of Othello that has ever been witnessed. The breathless suspense in which the House seemed bushed throughout the third Act—broken only , by the irrepressible bursts 'of applause elicited by the unsur passed and deeply affecting pathos of the " Farewell !" —or the energetic bursts of " the gathering tempest of the soul,"—wasthe highest tribute that an audience could pay to the powers a the actor ; and a similar feeling was manifested through every succeeding scene, till at the fall of the curtain, the House called for " K cot," who, after` some brief pause, appeared, and was greeted with de monstrations of the liveliest admiration. The logo of Mr. YOUNG, is very unequal in its merits. The knavish spirit is too palpable in the early scenes ; indeed so palpable, as scarcely to impose upon the half witted " brach of Venice:"—Whilst the extemporaneous versification, is evidently misconceived :—there should be only one line given with broad sarcasm, and that is the last :—but Mr. YouNG makes it glaringly so satirical throughout that it must have offended such a mind as Desdemona's. His scenes with the Moor, however, were highly finished. He plays not only with care, but with an excellence that we wish such emulation would much more frequently call into action. WA ',Lac]: should have played Cassio ;—he has all that comic expression which should essen tia lly mark the drunken scenek but which it is no d iscredit to a tragedian of Mr. Coozza's merit to lack. CHARLES KEMPLE is the only perfect Cassie, on the stage—and we are glad to evince our *corky by this assertion, though our opinion of his conduct towards Mr. KEAN remains unal tered. Mr. JONES might have undertaken Roderigo on suck an occasion, without any . diminution of his high reputation, and with important advantage to the play. The Desdemona of Miss PHILLIPS is an admirable performance, creditable alike to her feeling, her talent, and her judgment. Her voice, which possesses a cheer ful gladness in its tones of mirth, a mellow plaintive ness in the expression of every tender emotion, and an harmonious utterance even in its most passionate despair, " discoursed most eloquent music," throughout ; and we know not when we have been more delighted than by the sweetly and affectionately replow!hful manner in which she uttered " I wonder in my soul What you could ask me that Lahould deny?" Mrs. GLOVER'S Emil a was good; and her defiance of the Moor,- -" 1 care nut for thy sword"—entitled to the highest praise. We had forgotten to mention that after KEAN had made his acknowledgments, You NO was called for, and on coming forward received with loud plaudits. We rejoice to find that Mr. Pain c,with a grateful sense of the great service rendered to his Theatre, has offered the most liber-d terms to KEAN, who has engaged to per form in twelve of his most popular characters at Drury Line. We felt assured that the cause of injustice and illi berality would not long want an advocate in the Times, who, somewhat late in the day, attempts to asperse the (F.iilterozzeilness of KEAN'S offer to the Covent Garden a7i.l the subsequent measures which their un worth.. tre.t!iont compelled him to adopt. Has the 1 imes, in the plenitude of his own prosperity, forgotten that there was a day on which, if a liberal 71 had offered to throw a considerable sum of money into then impoverished treasury, he would not have accused the man intending such a gift of " throwing it at the bead of the iiereon wkom he undertook to serve," merely because e•o generols an intlividi:al thou:du himself enti tled, at the hands of the p2.soli ab.,..t to be obliged, to the common respect due from gsiiil.l:nitit to gentleman ?

ADULT BAPPISIIL On Thursday evening the ordinance of baptism was administered at Dr. Cox's Chapel, Mare-street, Huck ney, to fifteen persons, four males and eleven females. The ceremony was preceded by a senuon from the Doc tor, (who is Librarian to the London University,) in which he showed that the example of the Say toe a, and the words which he addressed to Jon w, when he hesitated to administer the rite, (" Suffer it to be so now ; for thus it beconieth us to fulfil all righteousness,") rendered it obligatory on all who pro fessed to be followers of CHRIST to be " baptized into his death." He also adverted to the love which CHRIST evinced for children, and inferred that if it had been in his view to admit infants to the baptismal rite, we should surely have heard of his administering it in such cases, at a time which, as he had himself just sub. mitted to it, and was surrounded by a great multitude which must have comprised many children, was of all others recorded in his history the most favour: able to each a purpose. The eennon ended, the can didates retired to prepare themselves, and, in a few minutes, re-entered the chapel and arrayed themselves in a line between the pulpit and the baptistry ; the females attired neatly in white, and the men covered with a black stuff robe. The officiating minister, the Reverend Isatan BIRT, a venerable white-haired man of some rev_wy years, standing on the edge of the baptistry, add: eased a few sentences to the congre gation in justification of the practice. He said they claimed for the rite of baptism preci iely the same charac ter as for the Lo HD'S Sapper, and asked if any pa3dobaptist would think of presenting a child at the communion table. Then he took by tl e hand the nearest of the females; and, both descending at once into the water, he repeated a formula—to the effect, that at her desire, and on her profession of repentance towards Gov, and faith in Cl' R IST, he baptized her in the name of the Trinity,—and gently immersed her in the water. She was then re ceived by the attendants, and, covered with a cloth cloak, retired. The same form was repeated in each of the other cases, the minister all the while standing in the water, and filling the intervals of the cere mony by quotations from scripture appropriate to the occasion. The females were cf various ages, from per haps 50 to 18, and the men, with one exception, were young. The case of the candidate baptized last was peculiar, and Mr. BIRT received him by observing, that he was born to move in higher circles than the Bap tists moved in ; but, since he was convinced that it was his duty thus to identify himself with them, he commended him for acting according to his conscience, and exhorted him earnestly to make its diet rtes and the word of GOD his constant and his only guide. When both had retired, Dr. Cox explained from the pulpit that the candidate just baptized was a near relative of Earl BATHURST and the Bishop of Noawicn, who had been convinced by the preaching of Mr. BIRT, and having been received by baptism into their church, in tended, notwithstanding the opposition of his friends, to sacrifice all his hopes of ecclesiastical preferment in the Established Church by becoming a Baptist preacher. The ceremony lasted twenty minutes, and was witnessed by a numerous, respectable, and quiet congregation. In consequence of the numerous and daring robberies lately committed in Chesterfield, locks, bars, and sheet iron, are in great requisition. THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, dND THE LONDON PRESS. In the Report of the Westminster Sessions, last week, a case was given in which the Chairman. (F. Conn, Esq.) tar.‘s stated after, boring sentenced a young pickpocket. named Hark to seven years' transportation, to have called him back' in conse sequence of some insulting expressions which be addressed to him, and altered the sentence to tranipurtation for life. The affair basing been made the subject cf Irma, k in various newspapers, and the legality of the course alleged to have been pursued questioned, the Chairman saw fit yesterday, in the course of the proceedings at the Xliddiesex Sessions, to give the following contradiction, or rather explanation, of the affair. The Chairman said, that he found from looking over the d:frerent newspapers that he bad been undergoing correction therein for an aft which be never did. It was said there that he changed a pri soner's sentence from transportation for 7 years to transpurtatinn for life, merely because the prisoner addressed some offensive ex preuioas to him. That he never did so. They were well written articles which be had seen, but then they were founded on what was not the fact. Auy one that bad known him long in that Court, must know that he had fre quently undergone misrepresentations and insults, and had never interfered ; much less, would he think cf aci,:ing to the weight of a prisoner's sentence on account of any insulting lan guage be might address to him. He did not object to what had been published, because he considered that a free discussion of such matters was calculated to do good, and that the conduct of all public officers was open to fair criticism. He night occasionally stultify himself ; and whenever this were the case, and be dew veil castigation, he neither expected nor wished to escape it. The ankles, he bad already said, were extremely well written, and he neither found fault with the manner nor the matter. The only fault was, that these was not a word of truth in the fact. The circumstances of the case were these :—A boy of the name of Harm, a most incorrigible thief, and who bad only just been Mcerated from a six months' eonhneniesit in prison fur a similar offence, was brought to the Westminster S:ss sinus, with some (ether boys, to be tried for picking pocket-. Thinking him a proper character to be nude an example er, determined on trying him first, hoping that the sem. rice :le other boys heard pronounced on him, would m .ke a t en - ti. impression on their mind... He was convicted of e • inc four handkerchiefs; and he (the Chaitntan) then addre,e l hint, and asked hint why he changed his name so .den , and other questions, to which he gave shrewd answer., A- - ter addressing some observations to him, he sentenced the bol seven years' transportation; as be was being removed from ih, Dock, be said something, but what it was he (ihe Chairman) d:.l not know. In consequence, however, of something cad to him by some Gentlemen who were skiing with him on the Bench, he ordered the boy to be brought back, and told him that the Court, on recoesideratiun, thought his a case which ought to be punished by transportation for life. Hut when he said this be never meant so to sentence him. Every Gentlemen in Court knew what he meant, and that his o b ject was to impress on the other boys the danger of the coutse they were I•urauitig, and be had reason to hope some good had been dune in this way. Immediately after pronouncieg this sentence, li I eneJ over to Mr. Gylby, the Clerk eat the Peace. and tell him to take no nutice or it.
