THEATRES. Dasme-Latee.—Saturday night, a new Comedy, entitled The Touchstone, or the World ar it tors, was performed, for the first time, at th:i 'Theatre. It is tetra the pen of Mr KINNY, a writer to whom the public are alteady it t ,taetted for many of the ;roost lively and interesting Dramas of the present day.— Tne piece to which our attention is now calied, was marked by the same ease anti smartness of 'Si 'foga*, the same ; :repriety ref charaeter tans diversity of liter al:rat, w hi c h w e have (Asset ved %yeti% many other oc casions, from the same quieter; and whether we rest oar j•tdgment on the manner of its :veep inn, its own hiherent claims, or, as ts 'son seems to require, on the gr•titnd r.f both considerations, we ate j..stified i ersr.ctud•og that the author's character must he not o••le supported but a•'vance.: by his recent effort.— The plot is simple. Perrgrint , Parespn, whose charac ter was sustain( d by Mr. HAULMS', is a schoolmaster, whespays his iddresses to DierahCropky, daughter a farmer. lie is treated in rather a supercilious manner by the neighbouring Squire, a gentleman ni the name of I•inesse, whine sister, a widow lady, M►s. Fairweather, follows her brother's example in the cnnetict she adopts towards the hit!•erto unfortunate pedag•rgue. Mr. HOLLAND perforrca d Finetre, and Mts. HAut.•'wi, .calm. Fairweather. The leading prin ciple of the drama, .' Lich is to exhibit the conduct of the w'r•rld as it goes, soon come s into action. Fortune, the deity of !'is werihip, is pleased to visit runr Pa re:on, s. hir•l'' sate does in the shape el a 7 ill. A re-, late•% of his happening to die in America, bequeaths him the vim of £SO,OOP. l'he touchstan c is now applied, and Paroson is found to be a man not only of greet merit, but of the most attractive qualities; the Ladies confess his accomplis'nents, and even the chsdainfut If ;glow I'ai►weather discovers her former mistake, and relents into an admirer and a lover.— The Author contests throughout his %A otk the truth of that poetical adage which says, that pity melts the sotsi to love." He seems to think, and we appre hend with a degree of truth which will save his com position tram) the charge of paradox, that money is much more likely to kindle the tender passion, at least in modern bosoms. Even Paragon himself is brought in to illustrate this principle. Dinah, his former flam., loses all her charms, when he is raised so far above the'level of her humble condition, by the powerful magic of the pocket. All parties are anxious to avail themselves cal this. A Mr. Garnish, among the rest, is particulatly solicitcus, and, with a view to entrap the gremdarm schoolmaster, brings for ward his sister, Mire Garairh, to make a matrimonial conquest. Garnish was represented by Mr. WAL- L/WIC, and his sinter by Mrs. Aceor. The former i► a sort of contemptible visiting :ippendage to the Finesse family ; the latter a forwavd, ) et artless female, who suhroits to he made the instrument of the worldly ♦sews of her broalter, without seeming to have had the b-nefit of a preparatory education. Though Mrs. ALsoe's extraordinary comic powers had not an °prom, .ity for the display of their full force in this character, they were still sufficiently exerted to excite the warmest applause, and to cxntribute, in no small degree, to the general success of the piece.— Mr. Dowirow had a whimsical part assigned to him, that of Probe, a smt of philosopher, whose chief am bition was !ta commence Lecturer in London, and for the purpose of tot warding his speculations in that way, lie pays his court to Paragon, for the same rea son that all the others had done—because Paragon lead money. Another reverse takes place in the pro gress of the drawa, which exhibits a more amiable picture of human nature than had been yet described. the will upon which Paragon claimed the s€Bo,ooo, is set aside by the aliscovery of another will sal later date, and by that Ulm- will the rrjected Dinah Cropky inherits the fortune. She, unlike• the world, is true to her Mu affection, even under the disadvantages of comparative poverty, and bestows her hand on Paragon, who is of course wonderfully delighted with her charms, her virtues, and her property. Miss KELLY, who performed Dinah, exerted herself with great success; as did also Mr. OXBRISKY, in the cha racter of her father. The catastr joie afforded great by•tue disappointment of the avaricious parties, whci had laid siege to the schoolmaster's beart, and the whole went off in a manner that pro mises a considerable degtee of success. All the per formers rutted themselves greatly, and the ptcce was announced icor repetition amidst the mast wield- Mous plaudits of the house. -' .. I.I I ILOGUE. CUMIN av MRS.

It is the production of Mr. SHIM. an Irish barrister, author of another Tragedy repre. sented here last season, with rather indifferent success. , —The scene of the present Piece is laid in Grenada, at the time of Philip the Second's persecution of the Moors. Humeya (C. K forme) the Chief of the Moorish exec, is passionately in love with Ciorinda, (Miss o'l4mA.) the daughter of Count Alvares, a Spanish Grandee, but Iron the inveterate animosity entertained towards his tribe, is in utter desplir of succeeding in his snit —A fife happens to break nut in the Palact• of Clorinda's lather, and she is in Im minent danger of falling a prey to the flames—the old man, in an agony of alarm for his damshter, vows aloud that he will bestow her hand on whoever shall save her life—Scatce has he finished when Humeya, the Moor, is seen rushing horn the fiery pile with Clorinda in his arms. The fair damsel had, in the midst of the flames, revealed a reciprocal pas . ion for her deliverer—and at is with a joy as great as unex pected, that the devoted lovers now learn from Count Alvares the vow lw had made, and his honourable resolution to fulfil it. At this moment Count Pes- Caret (Macitaanr) the Governor of Grenada, who has hen bor., utuuccessfully the wooer of Clorinda— a man of villainy, most " subtle and extreme"— Ineitaks in upon the exulting gioupe, and blasts their lair plan of happiness, by anninincing that be has jest received from King Phillip an edict prohibiting intermarriage between Spaniards and Moors. Alva-1 tea and his daughter (with what propriety we say not at present) yield obedience to the hard decree, and join with equal resolution in assuring Humeya that 1 , the only chance which remains of his ever possessing l the hand of his beloved, is to abjure his religion and people, and become a Christian, and a Spaniard.- 1 The conflict between love and faith, between pa triotism and sellindailgence. is ton great for the pas sionate Moor—he becomes an A l to:tate to his faith — ll lan alien to his race. One of his oldest and most faithul followers, Malec (Mr. Your o) indignant at an apostasy which he had employed every persuasion to prevent, assembles the principal Moors of Gre nada at the house of the Cash, and informs them that at the moment their Prince is thus abandooing them for ever, a league had actually been formed atnahg the Moors of Alpueara to throw off the yoke of the tyrant Philip. Suddenly Humeya, dressed in the Spanish cos tume, enters, and advises Malec to fly, as the t films of the Inquisition were in pursuit of him. Toe old be. roic Moor desires his followers to leave him, ban de termines to remain himselt,.and brave the worst yen. graver of his enemies. Gomez and the other ser vants of the Inquisition force the gates—and Malec is accused of having attempted to hiing back to the Mahometan religion a Moor who had abjured it, and that Moor is said to be Humeya. The unhappy Prince immediately declares that Count Pescara, his rival, pretending friendship, had sent him!) to warn his ancient preceptor, that the Inquisition pursued him as a victim. Malec is condemned to death, but, when tied to the stake, Humeya and his countrymen rescue him. Humeya, however, is captured. and, to save his life, Clorinda, after a dreadful struggle, consents to give her hand to Pescara. Scarcely has the marriage ceremony been solemnized, when she hastens to tree her lover—who spurns her, when he learns that she has become the wife of another. Pes. cara has followed his bride to the Flit" and, stung to madness by the ard:nt affection which she breathes towards Humeya, he gives instant orders for his ezr• cation. The officers of the Inquisition are dragging him to the rack. when the. shout of " The Moors." is heard—and Malec, whose troops had surprised the city, enters the dungeon with a body of Moors.— Pescara, foiled at the last, in a paroxysm of rage, endeavours to strike his poniard into the breast of Clorinda, hut is prevented by Humeya, who disarms and slays him. Humeya now gives himself up to joy. His people are victorious—his great enemy is destroyed—Clorinda must he his. But this dream of happiness soon vanishes—Clorinda acknowledges, that, ere she approached the altar with Pescara, she had swallowed poison. Humeya, in a fit of despair, stabs himself—and Clorinda sinks hitless on the body of her Laver. Of ihis story, our Readers will, we think, concur with u.; when we say, that it is more strongly than happily conceived. It supplies a number of most striking situations--produces a conflict of passions, as distracting perhaps as can possibly agitate humit nity—But to be striking, is not always to be pleasing —to agonize is not to subdue—The heroine must needs inti,t on her lover becoming a Chi istian, in ei der Its produce the grand conflict of the Piece, be tween Religion and Love. But it is impossible for the intelligent observer to overlook, how much in this she departs from a duty which the faith she wishes her lover to espouse has served to impress on society more universally than perhaps any other—the duty of leaving all else and cleaving to the object of our love; nor how inconsistent it is to make her thus tragically scrupulous in the first instance, and, in the sequel the Piece, when Humeya, disclaiming his apos-1 tacy, becomes Moor again, to exhibit her doing what she bad so stoutly refused before—abandoning her father and her home, and vowing to follow her' 1 dear Moor to the uttermost corner of the world. The hes*, too, is not a whit more reasonable than his char mer—f or, after she has thus consented to fly with him to the mountains--after she is mourned and away—when he is aware how important it is that he should join the revolted Moors in the mountains—he is so tempted, we suppose, by the idea of the strilisez litusthn in which a man must appear, standing in a Gothic gateway, and with his sirgle arm driving back a whole host of tots, that he dismisses all his followers, and actually remains behind to try the. bilge experi ment. What again shall we say of the catastrophe to which this folly leads? Pescara is killeJ, and, in his death, vice is punished—just•ce avenged. But whet e fore must Homey,' and Clorinda also die? Is it the devotion of the one, or the constancy et the other— a devotion -so generous—a constancy so magnani mous, that demands an expiation of blood ? Is it to inculcate any thing either rational or moral, that the innocent and the guilty are involved in the same common ruin ? No—it is a superfluity of tragedy, which is quite uncalled tor—arluch makes us revolt with borri,r, instead of melting us to that anguish of pity which is the legifTmate object of all tragedy. Most essureilly the Piece would have terminated far better—far more agreeably to every just and gene rous teeling—brad it terminated with the death ut its only villain, Pescara. And hid it done sn, lite Au thor would have avoidld the additional reproach to which we ore afraid he is liable, of presenting us with a sort of catastrophe which the fate of Romeo and Juliet has already made familiar to the stage. Although the Piece is thus far objectionable in re• spect of its plot and its purpose, it has still many re deeming merits—merits of the very highest otd:r. If the Author has chosen to place his characurs in situations of energy and di►t►action, somewhat out of natnre, it must be confessed that he has enabled them to support their situations admirably well. In strength of la•:gnage, in elevation of sentiment, in apposite ness of embellishment, it is not often that a Piece of such excelleuce comes under the judgment of the Public. Many passages were in the highest degree poetical ; and some there were, which, from origina lity of thought and beauty of imagery, seemed to us to bid fair to rank among the most choice specimens of our national genius. The Author, in the course of the piece, has very happily availed himself of those just feelings of indig nation, which a generous and high minded people must ever feel at a socciacle of slavery so ignomini ous as the present' condition of Spain presents to our view. The horrors of that terrestrial pandemonium —that disgrace to the Christian name—the bloody Inquisition of Spain, he has depicted in the most glowing colours: And in invoking the vengeance of HEAVEN on the tyrant Power by which .it is sup ported, he called forth shouts of enthusiastic sym pathy from the whole audience. All the Performers acquitted themselves most ably. Miss O'Nan.t. never, perhaps, displayed herself in a sphere of such magic power before. The shud der of horror with which she recoils from the pio posal of Pescara to become his bride as the price of her lovei's life—the convulsion of agony into which she is raised at the close of the fourth Act, by the idea that she hears the screams of her dying lover— have not, perhaps, been exceeded by any thing within the whole range of tragic action. They must be seen to be appreciated—and once seen, will never be forgot. The acting of Mr. Yoosto in Malec, and Mr. C. KestaLs in Humeya, was also of the highest order— though perhaps Mr. KIMBLE might contrive to throw less of the big boy than he does into his first scenes. The applause of the audience was throughout most unqualified, and when Mr. Yenisei appeared to an nowt,: it for repetition an universal shout of approval shook the house. The Prologue, written by WILLIAM WALLACE, Esq. was spoken by Mr. CONNOR—and the following Lvely Epilo,,ue was given with much gaiety and archness by .vliss S. Boorw: _ [.l Mayer outside.

Scroggins was in a com plete state of inebriation ; but he, nevertheless, alter a most desperate fight of near fifty round's, occupying almost an hour, beat his man in high style.
