Tice scene is at Naples; and the taste, without any ex.. press -historic fact in the text, appears to have been a out the,lbth century, from the woe of character and sentiment of the Piece. Such are the materials which constitute this bantling of the Pout's fancy. The author is, we understand . . Mr. Shed, a 6entlenniu of the sister kingdom, well known in the theatrical world at the author of the Apostate, Pelbani• a, and some other pieces. The production of last night, like every former prodnetim of this author, Mown& is situations of of horror ; his style is lofty, and a;.) teals in iungery, studied comparisons, and similies His allusions to the person and charms of his heroine are, in more than one instance, tooglowirg and warm to be amsis . ent With that dt.hcacy which suits the fc teak part of the audience. In this, u-d in all the for.. esa productions of Mr. Shiers pen, the scenes of horror are worked up to such a pitch us to become painful in the extreme to the audience.
