NOV. • ...AAP generates into into a drawl. In the scene with the Players, Mr. RA E was eminently happy. We never saw any actor give it heater effect, and never heardinuder plaudits ring through a tbcane, than those wt.ich butmt from the audience at its close. In the closet scene he was but partially successful, 2 ,xi in that whet e he was interrogated respecting the death o f p o l. n i?is, he wa! , very inipei feet. Instead of replying to the gnestifin—" Where's Poloniui ?" when put by the King, as he ougle to have done, his response was, " In Heaven:" w e know not whether it was by accident or design that he did not give the preceding speeches—" At supper"—" Not wit -re he eats, but where he's eaten, Ike " If the omission were intentional it calls for severe censure, if accidental, it has already peen corrected.. In the early part of the fifth act, Mr RAJ:: was not very effective, but in the last scene bis performance called forth universal approbation. Ills Rainiet is excellent to those who have not seen the K Ent at, ES and VOUS G. After them it requires no common merit to be tolerable. Mr RAE is more—he is good. At the other theatre he would be found an acquisition of importancr, here he has no rival. EP IG1?

MR. WEST's MEIN ricTuEE, " SIIEWN TO THE PEOPLE." We have been just favoured with a slight glimpse at Mr. West's grand cartoon, representing one of the most • important scenes of the mysterious drama of Our Saviour's Passion, and we feel happy to be enabled, by this particular condescension, to report nroisress to the public upon so interesting a subject. This performance will certainly exceed in interest, as it does in proportions, the justly ad mired picture of Chriqblip' the Sick; and although but a few parts are finished, ti;c number and variety of the groupes, the constrasts in the attitudes of the figures, and their number, will certainly astonish the beholders ; but the piincipal object of admiration, and the centre of intere st, will he the person of Christ, which appears already one of the best and most successful attempts at representing the Divine Being veiled under- the humble and dejected appear ance of the " "Mau of S'Arrows." We cannot enter in - o any particulars at present, and will content ourselves with saying. that the mechanical powers of the venerable artist are equal to his mental conceptions; and that his genius stands on a level with the momentum of the subject—he had the bold • aecs to conceive, that is, the Eccc Homo, trea'ed upon such a scale, and in such a manner as we do not reAily remember to har seen attempted at before, since the revival of the alt. Previous to Vice-Admiral Sir James Saumarez leaving '''edt'n, he ieeeived a mo:t saneth sword, which was de livered to him by the Baron Essen, Aid-de-Camp to the er"wn Prince, accomratlicd by a most flattering letter from h" Itosit iii; expo essi% e the c,allant Admiral's merits.

That friend to The Ludicrousanzette , Dr. Bushy, has thN 'reek amused the town with a series of heroic epistles, ;id dressed to Alderman BIRCH, on the subject of a miserable squib, which appeared some time ago in The Morning Chrj nicte.—The following article we suppose to have been written instead of an Epilogue. It is a pity the DocTOR did not put it in rhinie. ANONYMOUS LETTERS. Dr. BUSBY presents his compliments to the EDITOR of The Morning Post ; more than grieving the PARTY by whom, since Tuesday last, he has been insulted with two most execrable anonymous letters, will coubider the insertion of the undo wfitten note as a favour. .No‘ . . 19, 11112. TO THE GUILTY ! Sin—Both your letters have been received. A'blacioug mut ! had your maloguant folly carried you a little fit her, and tempted you to put your name to the despicalle scraps, they shol.ld have been hung about your neck, as labels, for life. Be wary—you know nor'whout you are rousing. Stick to the employment that is properly your own. the flippant lucubrations of your democrotical columns. It you dire molest tee again (publicly or privately, openly or anonymously), I will turn-upon your puny powers a giant's strength. and Crush you. Queen Anne-street West, THOMAS BUSBY. - Cavendish-square. If the strength of Dr. B. is equal to his wisdom, it must, indeed, be gigantic. The tollowitig is an eitract from a Speech lately published as spoken by Mr. Iltitchinsim, at the Cork Eleclon " The Duke of Richmond has done more at tills election fivilist the and you, by setting people at variance, and by cre:iting a disunion of .eritiinent amongst you, than I could have thought that it was its wickedness to eonyeive, or power and authority to perpetrate; and yet, this is the Chief Grwernor, who, I undetst.tiul. is to remain for some months lotwer in your country. Let him continue a fe w m onths longer in this di-traeted I all, and - he will gait it,—l do pledge myself Ile sLall, covered with disgrace, and tidlowed by the curses of the people 1 Ido pledge myself that he shall render a terrible aecoans For this svii:::ed and violent outrage before the Lords ! Ido pledge myself to drag this Duke of Richmond before the bar of his Peers, there to at.swer to them aril to the nation, for this terrible and heinous outriee and offence agidust me, against you, and against this afiforn tuitme land. " Gentlemen, it is necessary to tell you, that these infernal ffracticas may gain a monter.tary snceess—they may for the mont..nt succeed its electing soother !—those win deal in them, may think themselves sae , ce.sful in relieving Lord Cietlereagli awl the other Ministers from lay attacks : but I promise on after a very few months, I shall again morn to you triumphant !—and instead of releasing my Lord Castlereagh, aed his friends from my attacks ! perhaps, I shall be enabled, with the assistance of my friend:, to rescue you, not only from Nut. hut from the most besotted Ministry Ireland had ever to deplore: and here, whether in er out of l'atliament, I do most solemnly swear eternal enmity to my Lord Ca4leretteh, than whom, in my soul, I do not believe there exists a greater or ciore dangerous enemy to Ireland; and, I do pledge toyself twist solemnly, ill the face of you all, whether in or out of Perliainrot, to exercise all the energies of my :Mini awl soul, against these besotted Ministers, to pull then from them , seats; co..vniced that I a.o svport;i:g ;hat Church and that State, which they therw•l yes the fiiends ist.—'mt which in truth and in reality, they are the direct and most mortal enemies to." The above Irii!ia??f speech might almost be supposed Ito hsve come from a man of some political importance. This is the ides Mr. IluTcH NSON himself seems erroneously to have take's up when he talks of the exultation of Ministers at beitK relieved from his attacks ! `Ve presume he assumes from the circumstance of his speeches having seldom hen thought woolly of an answer that they were unevisweraide. ft is diverting enough to ma. k these airs in a Senator like Mr. H. who, as yet, his onl t distinguished him:elf by the we, , .1-7tiess of Lis Levi and the violence of his temper, This enmity, it is to be fc.ifed, will make Lord CASTLEACAGH • vain.
