THZATRES. Datotv-LAKE.--- Mr. MAYWOOD who has made so favourable:in impression on the town, by his represen tation of Shybei, made his second venture last web+ in the arduous character of Zanga.—lt Would, f; c haps, have been wiser in him to have seletted a p4r, more distinct from the repulsive class of his first per formance, And, at all events, one more rich in materials of genuine effect ; but such as the revengeful Moor is, he depicted him in a manner, which, if it did not please us quite as well as his portraiture of Shy/era, did not in the least lessen the perfect conviction with which he has imp resse d us o f his possessing capabi lities of the very highest dramatic order, and which only want some little disciplining and refining to redder him a first rate acquisition to the London boands.• His conception of the character of Zeaga was throughout just and striking ; his execution generally powerful—in some parts so appelingly so, as absolutely to palsy the power of applubation—a tribute far surpassing in value the must rapturous bursts of applause. His voice, which in richness, variety, and compass, we m a y safely venture to of is not excelled by that of any living competitor, broke forth at times into the most entrancing and subduing tones. In his description of the embraces of Carlos and Lamed in the bower—his artful stimulation of A/oases vengeance, concluding with, " The world will call you very, very kind ;" and his last pathetic speech, where, touched with pity and remorse, he asks the " good ruffians" to let him "but look one moment on the dead," he was particularly happy. One failure we must notice, (for it was indeed a great one), but occasioned evidently not from want of judgment or talent, but from too strong an impres sion of the difficulty of the thing, and an over anxiety to do it well. We allude to the triumphant ackno.e. rnent of his guilt—" Know, then, 'twas---.1 I" in which he gave his voice a pitch which was quite un called for, and fek with nut unconcealed emotions of pain by the audience. On the whole, though we do not regard his Zastya as comparable to his SAyloei, it was certainly a most effective and interesting repre sentation.—Mrs. BARTLKY and Elsa sustained the parts of Leonora and Alonzo with their usual ability ; nor was Mr. WALLACK in Carle. without very just clairacto the nattering approbation which he received. -Cksirawr-Gaamtu.—Last night, after the success fultepetition of As Yon Life 11, a new Mel.

The dresses, in the costume of the time of Frearki KilAtas, pleased from their singularity, and some of the most exquisite scenery ever beheld on a stage compleated the treat. The representations of a palace—of at for tress and rock, and of the Austrian Ambassador's pa vilion, called forth load dernoastratiens of admiration, as they were severally displayed. The music, from Mr. Bishop's works, was judiciously varied and ap. propriate, and the Piece altogether met with a most bratty welcome,' and vibes announced for repetition, but one solitary bite opposed the applauding voice of the audience. Mrs. DICIONS is now at Venice, where her talents are held in high estimation. A letter was receives in town yesterday from New castle.upon-Tyne, announcing the sudden death of Mr. M.Cairn, the Manager of the Theatre, iti that town. It is said be dropped down suddenly on the stage, in a fit of apoplexy.

ELECTION OF LORD m.iroß. This contest was yesterday again renewed without the least diminution of ardour on the part of Alder men Smith and Atkins, while, on the other lrAncl, the Lnrd Mayor and Alderman Coodhehere ap. eared to be deserted, as his Lordship only polled 120 during the whole morning, and Mr. Alderniao Gondbehere 110. The Hall was yesterday more quiet than on the prec_ding day, and at the close of the poll, the following statement was exhibited in the usual manner: STATE OF THE POLL—FOURTH DAY. • en] k. Mr. Alderman SMITE • • 1791 Mr. Alderman ATKINS • 1247 The Loan *axon - . . 672 I Mr. Alderman GOODIBEZRZ -• 632 Mr. Alderman Smith has now a majority vast the Lord May:,r of 1121. and Mr. Alderman. kills, 575. The usual " fee " on the exhibition of :he poll having taken place, loud calls for Mr. Woofer, and also for Aldermen Smith and Atkins, were made, and silence for a minute reigned through the Hall. Mr. Smith having appeared, bowed, and attempted to speak. but no sooner was the motion of his lips observed, than the Hall rang with applause, hisses, groans, and calls for the worthy Alderman to . proceed. Finding that he could not obtain a hearing, he bowed, pointed twice to the poll, again bowed, and retired smiling, accompanied by Mr. Alderman Atkins and his son. Mr. litrcesus now came forward amidst conside. fable mafusioo. Another day had elapsed, and he regretted to say their opponents appeared to have gained great advantages over them, but still there was time enough to overtake them now, for there were yet four days to poll, and it woad be kept open till the latest minute. Their success could not ire wondered at, when it was taken into consideration the marches, counter-marches, and exertions that had been. made to place Mr. Alderman Smith in the situa tion he now stood in. Those persons who advocated his cause were certainly entitled to his thanks; it was not in the power of men to have done more than they had, for they had unceasingly and unremittingly laboured to bring up persons to swell his numbers, many of whom had been compelled to comeforward in support of a cause, which, in the same breath, they acknowledged to be wrong. It was a misfor tune that they should be so placed. and their•otam. tenancei fully 'hewed that they felt it in its greaten' extent. It was certainly a strange coincidence. that Alderman Smith should have polled a numberinroj actly corresponding with the date of the year, which might be set down as the era of their misfortunes, and from which the meeting might date all their mi series. The cause which he was before them to ad vocate was not to be considered weak, because they appeared so far behind their opponents; there were yet several days to keep the poll open, and they might, in despite of all the exertions made to oppose it, still return them, and give those who thought' they could hold despotic rule to know what was the streogth they possessed. The contest had, in the present instance, been instituted to try what were the feelings of the Livery ; and if he should be disap pointed, and the electors by their suffrages should say that Mr. Smith was a proper person to fill the office, he would, at the close of the contest, retire without regret. The opposite party had travelled much ; they had made great strides, and certainly great strides were necessary 'to be made in support of their cause. They had put on their seven-league. boots to enable them to outstrip those who stood up for right and justice, and had employed those to do the dirty work which they had not a sufficient stock of impudence to enable them to carry on themselves. The Livery had now an opportunity of making their sentiments known to the world, and he trusted they would not let it slip through their fingers, but come forward in support of Liberty and Independence.— He again, as on the former day, declared that those who had voted for the Lord Mayor had come foi ward of their own accord, without any solicitation or promise of reward ; and atter indulging in trite ob servations, to Mew that the present state of the coun try was analogous to that of 1798, and again clUing on the Veerymen to stop the career of eon, which,A . asseited, had been gaining ground 04r, y year, he retired amidst loud calls for Mr. Wooler,, hisses,y3e4 apebuse. Mr. VtLill. in coming forward again to 144 Was the Livery, felt it necessary to commence with a f*w observations on what had been said by the Gentle ' man who had preceded him ; he had suffered a mis. take to escape from his lips, namely. that the persons who had come forward to vote in the interest opposed to that of the Lord Mayor, came with their con sciences strongly depicted in their countenances; now, for his own part, he felt great doubts whether they had any conscience at all ; however, it was possible they might have some little portion, and since that was not clear, it must be allowed they had come for ward with the little they had. He was not prepared to deny that the allegation—that their ranks had suffered by desertion—had not some grounds; but he would still entertain strong hopes, that, before the contest cloud, those who had seceded from them, would again rally and return to their duty.— It well the 'duty of all to do well, and 'act up to that which they conscientiously believed to be just and right; and be felt confident that the Livery would do this, and return those who had the fairest claim to their suffrages. They had been termed a rabble by those to whom they were opposed; and he was not prepared to retort upon them the epithets they had thus undeservedly heaped upon them; but he would tell them that it was from that rabble, as they were pleased to denominate them, that they had derived all their dignity, and had arrived at their present elevated stations. They had arisen from the bogy of the Livery, and once were possessed of no greater power thaw any. one of those who now heard I*. Every mon rose from _the ground floor of the. ?gold, : though lie might eventually possess the qrst It there had not been marble, there would (calbit his eyes to ill. Sande of Mr. Pitt) have beers.ino•inal• tues. ihrleasou had not had the rough hinek tb hew from, be could not have formed these monu meats, nor would the architect have been able to have brought to perfection those specimens of art by which he had risen to honour and affluence; it was there. fore unworthy of the name at men to stigmatize the body from which themselves had risen, because that body had not the good fortune to have kept up with them in their rapid progress to rule and power, and ► because they tvOuld not subscribe to their Imeasurcs. He stood there to express his Wiest' ; it was not the spirit of opposition that prompted him ; it was the pare and ty.ailltherated feelings that reigned within his %%star, •tiai he would express them as candidly as if he were hr-fore his Gm The opposite interest were reduced to the necessity uf saying in private whit they dare not assert publicly. They could not support their cause by argument, and that they were aware of this was fully proved. for they carried by the strong hand of power accompanied by intrigue. those measures under which the pe•iple now suffered. and of which they so loudly complained. They had been tore!, and irt Kona measure truly, that the grand part of the State ItAisothing to do with the present question. an4,4l . tat they bad no hand it ; that there were two CoostitiOns—one that employed itself to destroy, and'llte other to save. They had bettercall them unconstrAtitmal ; for though they both took different methods to obtain their avowed object. yet they were both labouring hard to obtain one and the same end. the destruction of that which they profes sed to be engaged in preserving. There were too many instances of men, who before they had got into power, acted as the friends of the people, but who, having once got in, turned to their own advantages the situation to which they had been appointed, in opposition to the interests of those who had placed, unthinkingly, the power in their hands. He lamented the absence of those friends whom be had fully ex pected to have . seen present ; but there were some, who would, for haerest, vote for that cause, which they could not justify, and in fact in the same breath acknowledged to be wrong. Whether the present was a political question or not, for the opposite side said every thing was political, there was one thing that was certain, that an Administration were stet such fools as to give to any other than their friends places or pensions. The cause he advocated had suffered more from theirown negligence than from the strength of the party opposed to them. The advocates of re form ought to act with consisteniy ; they ought to be united, for division would ruin any cause. He would say that that was not an honest man who would i while in the possession of all his faculties support those measures which had not for their basis the be nt* of the community. The result of the present contest would have this effect—i: would shew the strength and power they had to contend with, and whatever that-result might be, while he had any voice he would nctelsnenced. It had been predicted that he had beta *quiet, or he would be made se ; he thought that prediction would fail. It was little that he had to. nett is - the cause in which be bad ens. barked butifillroftkii and while he possessed that, it should be exerret in the cause of independence. In the most gloomy darkness a gleam of hope will some times brighten up the prospect. and he was not a little rejoiced, that although the cot responding data to the number Mr. Alderman Smith had polled, had been the era of our miseries, yet it had also been the first year in which the glorious struggle that had since so greatly preponderated, had worn the aspect of strength, for all before was apathy and imbecility. He would venture to predict, ere long, the fall of that corruption which had so long ruled with undi. vided sway; and, after again expressing his deter mination to uphold the cause with all his power, he concluded by regretting the absence of his friends, and calling on the Livery to come forward and sopa port the cause of freedom and independence, by which alone they could expect to overcome their extreme distresses. r The Crier they came forward and dinelved the Meeting; and Mr. Wooler accompan led by his friend?, hastened to retire from the contusion and noise that rreaded the Hall. rirrm DAY—FRIDAY, THREE O'CLOCK.
