Mr. Mem Mtn, as report says. A short Prologue promised es a story intereellog to the lovers of freedom, which title of costae in. eluded all Forglishmen. Accordingly the Devoe was laid iu Uri, • province of Switzerland, end the hero, whose name gives Ike play its title, is reported in the Ilialspe In harridan* good service for the liberties of his country in the wars against the Auesrians. le the engem tent of the Play, Freddre'r dumb. ter, Utilda ( Miss O'Ntizz),(in called by her father freer his having brought her ep among the mnun. tains of the proviece.) is in danger of perishing among the cliffs and felling waters. in consequence of a terrible storm then raging. She is left sense. less, in ■ position of greet peril, by ilarfold (Mr. Y kris). • dlorizied and sivil.spirited I of Predate's, bet is rescued by Addams (Mr. C. knsatr), a handsome enterprising yeah, who hes the mitfortune to have incurred, unronselnes of the cease, the deadly hatred of Fredoiro ; he is there fere rather loath to approach Fredelp's threshold, even to receive the lady's thanks after her recovery. lie does so, however, and in the interview relates an accident Of his boyhood :—lie was in a lone pass of the mountains at midnight, and found two men dn. ing death's work upon a third, which he discovered, after watching the body till dawn, In be that of Count Wallenberg, the Austrian Governor. Shortly stair this he was kidnapped and carried to • distant part of Italy, bet sighing for his native mountains he returned home again, though obstructed or pursued In the undertaking, and after it, by the power of IFredolp. While this con lion is going an, word is brought that Fredolfo himself bar fallen into the danger from which his daughter hes just escaped, and Adilosan, at her command, goes nut and per• forms the services of sslvaiinn for she father also..— Fredulfo (Mr. Yourai) is very elision to know his deliverer while they ere groping a way out of the I danger in the cloak, but when lights are brought, end lie finds him to be .eldi/surn, he ord.), him to a dun. gene. While he is there, Predolfo and his croaked villain, !torpid, base a private ecloircirrrinent. from which it appear., that Fredulfo's hatred of Addams is ceased by the latter•s having been accidentally pre sent when Freddie end his servant were assassinating ' COOSII Wallenberg. Borfold, in the vide of mis chief and rivalry (Wag • declared lover of Urilda), proposes to kill Adilaran in his confinement, which Fredolfo indignantly rejects. This pets the fiend •pon his mettle, and he rails malignantly on ; Fredolfo's initialises. Ile asks for his discharge. ' and on Fredalp reminding him that he is (educed, and iimapable of satisfying kiln with money, he asks far Urilda. This produces another storm of rage, in the midst of which eaters Cord Wallenberg (Mr.' illsczcsnY), the present Austrian Governor. -Fre delft receives him coldly, notwithstanding which he asks for Urrldu in marriage; Fredo/fo refers him to his daughter, oho, en being celled and consulted, very unequivocally refines the Count's offer. which Wesel is more bitterly prompted from the Count's haling professed, some lime before, a licentious pea. , @inn ter her. The father and daughter withdraw, , and Barfold advancing, is jest about to reveal to the Count the murderers of his father, when Frrdolfo re turns anti offers the Count guidance across the moun. , fain. The Coma is, however, so mach interested with Burfold'e deposition, that he demands him of Fre- I , dolfu for his guide, which Fredolfo reluctantly se , cedes to. Wallenberg having gained the secret, of coarse imprisons Fredolp, whose rescue is Wee , distely attempted by didiloran, he heing Induced , thereto by a thick plot, which, in the manner of Oliver and his colleagues, norfold persuades Urilda to is. vita him tot he enterrrise, which is as bad as frustrated, jberme, while the Swiss are carrying off Freddie), 1 Waikrberg's troops seize Adilman and Urilda. , mays is again rescued by the mountaineers, but Urilda, Ilvitorr to the sanctuary of a convent, is surrounded by WalknberT and his forms, and when her father sr , rites to succour her, the tyrant hes a chigger bran. dished over her, which enables him to dictate condi , lions. In the mean time Adair:an arrives, but his aid, from the same cause, is rendered useless. The catastrophe their hem/ over the three, and the first t death was that of Adilatan, who gate his sword le the Austria'', end received it back again in his breast. , This decree of she poet's imagination was en cruelly severe, that the house instantly espioderl ; not another word mould be heard ; Fredolfo retaliated r:pidly on Wollenberg; Urilda made haste to es. pine by the side of her Inver, and the certain fell , amidst terrific uproar. This was the more 'orris ing, as no angry eympionis were observable bailie; , a little hissing and laughter were heard in nee poi , lion of the hoz circles previously, but this appeared to he the effect of wine arid ill.manner,, rather than of judgment, as it took place sometimes IN passages , of considerable beauty. Here will he another instsnee for the admirers of the DOtir, of the " ins's" to quor• splint the pretensions of us moderns. Certainly we shall be obliged to own that we have loot the spirit of that dramatic writing which has given plac►te more acute, bet Ins p►rsonal delineation, as the days of good archery are superseded by the more terrible, bet less delicate levelling of muskets. The sentiments of mn. Bern ploys are encreased in shrewdness by the spoils of the interv►ning retied ; bet the force of novelty, and the obsolete identiti►s of the old plays are, for the same end simil aaaaaa ono, unattainable. There is yet, however, room to do much in the way of natural interest and poetic composition. This the Author Purred in the first half of his piece ; be seemed tabs,. given reins to his Pegasus, and the audience were led over fields perfectly exuberant with the gifts of imagery and sensibility. In the latter part he was as Golly ; he was led astray, either by pureeing effect ton glaringly, or else by a degrading accommodation of his plot and &alms* to some supposed excellencies in the performers. The latter Is the most likely ; and if se, the Ladles and Gentlemen of the Theatre melt muse es, Welt say it is easy to guess who is to blame. The fact it, the play evidently failed from this destrec tive temporising with its plot and characters. The natural net of incidents was thwarted in order to display the favourite passions of the actors ; the lan gunge avoid not but follow this degradation, and that which might have beep vigorous chancier and poetry, slink into the common bathos and personalities of the ectom Min n one, was kept in an uninter rupted stretch of sunny ; rn this elly ma not hen mach objection, hut the nedience has; in truth, there is ton raw+ rue mod oightsbade in the wreath with which •h. &rho el.. *mom. • .

This unfavourable state of the redone, and of the price of gold is atiriboted to different doses by different persons easmined before the Committee. By some, to an excess of the circulating medium of the country; by others to the •ffect of the late regu lations of the Mint respecting thane+ silver coinage. by which the proportions between the relative talon of gold and silver are stated to have been so varied, es to hive occasioned the esportation of gold; by others it is attributed to the continued operation of foreign loans, to the temptation held nut by a high rate of interest, to the investment of British capital In foreign fends sod foreign speculation., and to he large perchasesof cora from ahroad,a great proportion of which is paid for in advance, and must therefore, In their opinion, have had a material effect upon the balance of payments, and of course sport the ea changes, daring the year 1818. The Committee then proceed to elmss their opinion, that it would not be safe and practicable for the Bank to resume Cash Payments on the sth July nest, and that there is a necessity for farther post. pnnemeat. They add that— " It can hardly be necessary for the Committee to' remark, that this opinion does not rest upon any groend which can intimate the slightest doubt as to the coedit or solidity of the Bank ; that body 'm aim at the present moment the means of dischstainit, let of the trlessre actually in its coffers, every de mand which could hate been snide upon it for pay. meet In cash in (meowed of the notirea referred I to; and the only object of the measure which, at the recommendation of the Committee of bulb Hriesei, has been already adopted by Parliament, daring the i coarse of the present Session, waste prevent the con. tineence of a drain of the vitiating tressare and there by to facilitate tech operations as the Committee ! might feel it to be their duly In recommend, is pie ! petition to a final removal of the restriction."

The Committee then proceed to develop the rea ions and motives for the plan is hieh they I .pose, • nil t.trir Report concludes with the plan itself, in that follnwing terms:— These considerations have led the Committee to ex. amine, with particular attention, a plan which has been suggested to them, and which, as it will appear by the evidence, is viewed in a eery favourable light by many persons well qualified to fano • jedgeeot upon such a sabiect. The lending principle of this plan it to restore try the country, by the speediest and safest means. a metallic standard, as the revelator of its paper cur. retie'', by permitting the Bank to pay its notes in gold bullion, at the Mint price, instead of gold coin. Various advantages appear to the Committee to at. tend this plan, in preference to a simple resumption, in the first instance, of Cash Payments by the Bank. It establishes equally with Cash Payments, the prin eiple and the salutary controul of a metallic stand. ard,while it affords the brat prospect of avoiding or r!i. lalnishing manyof t he inconvesiienset,w kith aryls, many (Persons apprehended from that 4fit .
