NATIONAL (In Wednesday Mr: lligman made his first appearance it Mit Theatre in .he part of Don Cersdr in the Castle of An ildhisist. lie is a singer of Considerable merit and possesses the finest bass voice we remember to hdVe heard, even at the trench opera, Where they are so plentiful. It is liarMotlions in all its Modulations ; and of uncommon power. Ile ma naged It so successfully that he was rapturously encored in the song of the Wolf, ‘thich he gave with the greatest effect. it, Harley, in Pedrilio, Confirmed all the hopes lie had eitittd, and in the short space of a week, has deeply and tfatervedly rooted himself in the favour of the public. fIAYNIARKtt, 1110 tnallager, of this theatre, which opened, hh Monday fast with the comedy of "A bold .Stroke for a Husband," the intei Jude of .‘ 7'he Rival Soldiers," and the farce of " The I'll idge tawver," have adopted a coarse which cannot fail to fender it popular. They have gleaned the best actors from the various- provincial theatres, and assumed the pleasing task of introducing rising merit to the favour of the capital. On Monday, no less than five new performers made their A,st appearance. A Mrs. Belfield in Donna Vittoria (in the lbotriedy) displayed a prepossessing appearance, Muth chaste acting, and a considerable power over the sympathies of the audience. A Miss Seymour tendered the part of Donna Laura yeti respectable. Mr. Johnstone from the Hull theatre personated Dort Vicentio with much effect. kis figure is gootl, and What his stjle a acting may *ant in delicacy, is made Up in vivacity. Miss Greville, Mts. Gibbs, Terry and Jones, ably acquitted themseves, as becal-e established favourites who wish to secure the reputa tion which they have acquired. in the interlude, Tokely's 1 Plijperkin was supported with hxecellent spirit ; a Mr. J. Jones, who appeared in Sinclair, evinced some taste and a pleasing voice: In the farce, a near Sherpface was produced, lit the person of Mr. Baiter, from the Cheltenham theatre, Who proved in his acting, that he well knew hogs to distin guish between humour and buffoonery. Oh Tuesday the Comedy of John Pull served as a 'aide for the introduction of duce other performers. A Mrs. hart- 0 0d imparted to the part of Mary, all its reqffisites, •tooth, heauty, and feeling. Mr. Foote of the Edinbiirgh jI Yheatre, raised the character of Peregrine. to a higher degree of importance than it had yet attained in other hands: A Vesting and intelligent countenance, gentlemanly manners, d trios( harmonious voice, a ctirrect judgment, and all that warmth of feeling which alone can awaken corresponding 'sympathy in the audience, form his qualifications fur the elevated walks of the drama, in Which be is calculated to !hove with more than common distinction. Mr. Lindsay, 1 trOm Dublin, surprised us at first by his resemblance in size, i trountenancc i and even voice, to our favothite Johnstone. his delineation of Delude Bru/gruddery was faithful and ef fective, though his humour perhaps wanted the wit of the 1 , eye, or that vivacity of look which in his predecessor so roWerfully adds to the expression and truth of the character. the applauses bestowed on these three performers was of a nature to gratify their most sanguine hopes. On Wednesday still greater things weld attempted. A Mrs Meggett made his debut in the character of Richard 111.1 but publit impartiality no longer existed. With considerax hie r~dim~ to coniniand attention, Mr. Meggett obtained ; little inure than mockery and insult, as though it *ere a ; Crime for a man of talent to a%suine a character in which I others have lately acquired celebrity, Anticipated in many bf his speeches by the impertittenee of pretended wits, in the itteond act he at last made this manly appeal to the audience: " Ladies and Ghntlctnett.i..4l stand bete your victim. 1 atu a stranger, and have no appeal from the crth which I have received, for the severity sheOn t consider to be cruel to the 6xtremest point.—(, interrupted ,4n cries of glf, off.) 1 wish to explain said, and that I am justified in saying that I ha, elly treated, ito one can hegitatt to aver, when y fused to let g stranger even speak without hissil This address produced a temporary calm, and tl ante was suffered to prneeed to its close. Undl cumstances, we shall suspend our judgment, when Mr. Afevett next Uppears, his powtrs checked by the injustice of a party.
