A mew Tragedy wee last night produced at this Theatre, ander the title of Evadne; or, the Statue. The plot is as follows r— todosico(_Mr.MACßEADT), Chief Minister and ft. voorite of a King of Naples (Mr. Aaartr), conceives the design of destroying his master's life ' and raising himself to the Throne. With this view he Ingle, by canting In the King a guilty ponies for Eoedne (Miss O'Nitz.t.), sister of Colonno (Me. Yount)), a Noble. ono of Naples, and engages his promise that the brother himself shall consent to the sister's shame. —The traitor himself has no intention of sacrificing Evadne, whom be secretly loves, to the Kiss, bet sets the plot is movement to destroy the King by Colones's hand. It is further necessary that, to abseil: Erudite, her lover, Vincentie (Mr. C. ttstrot.a), shotild be disposed of by marriage to Whin (Mrs. FAUCti), Ludovico's kinswoman, irlis loves him. rineeidio is recalled from a foreign embassy ; and, upon his return, is told by Ludo*, that Eredne was false, and had become the mistress of the King. i fr incentio is persuaded to believe his mistress faithless, on the evidence of a let ter written by Bradlee, containing the most passionate avowal of tenderness, really intended for Vincentin, bat, by the change of name, coritrived by Ludooico, to appear addressed to the King. Vincentio mess Irvintne; reproaches her with her falsehood ; is half persuaded by her protestations of her innocence; bet asks, as the last means of removing his setpleions, that she shoeld let him see whether she still wore round her net k his picture, which he bad given her at his departure. She is overjoyed; produces the picture, aid gives it to him: it proves, however, to be the platers of the King. rinccalio now becomes to rtoni and innorable. Cdossna enters, insults, and challenge. Vincentio, and they go out to fight. Oliria comes la, and confesses to thindne, that she had Coe. trived the false letter, and sehstheted the picture of the King for that of Vincentio resod Evedne's neck, st the inMiestion of I.ndortro, who engaged fur re ward her by making Viacesitie tier husband. Colones t end Vinceritie fight • the latter is supposed dead, sad the forest et:punster" in a dungeon. Ludorico visits him, gives him his fteedom—tells him that the King demanded his sister's shame, end his emu se quieicenee, es the price of his perils's—eta' per. suedes him, by artfully working on his realism, to give a seeming cement ; to invite the King to his Paine, and at the moment when be espects the brother's base sacrifice of the sister's honour, to murder Isis. The King is invited and feasted by Colonna. The hoar •of rest approaches, and the King retiree to his chamber. Colossi eaters en ado joining apartment, sad proceeds t.t the doer of that in whisk he was waiting the nosing of Reedits.— Ile easheaths the dagger, • atl is about to open the door; when he bears a voice.

The sem is at Naples, end the time, withoet say (re press historic fact in the teat appears to have bete about the Mb century, from the tone of character and sentiment of the piece. Such are the sated's!, which form this riveter, of the Poet's fancy. The author is, we euderstaud, Mr. Sum., a Geist!man of the sister kingdom, well known in the theatrical world as the author of The Apostate, BeUm-aura, sad seen other pieces. The production of last night, like every former produc lion of this author, abounds in situations of horror; his style is lofty, and fell of imagery, studied com parisons, and similies. Ills allusions to t h e person sod charms of his heroine are, in more than one its stance, overcoloured to be consistent with that deli cacy which suits the female part of the medium,. la this, as is all Ilse former ',redactions of Mr. Stint's pee, frightful ideas are worked up to such pitch es to become palatal to the audience. The reiterated acts of villainy on the part of Ludo rico, sod the aggravated misery which they draw down on the heads of his devoted victims, EValil&C, ,her brother, and her loves, follow each other so ra pidly that they leave no pint un which the attention of the audience can rest for a moeteet to roles said refresh itself. The first four acts went off well, bet the fifth act is by far too long; and It was apparent that weariness was pervading the audience. Tb. states vase is by far too leog. Whilst Evoke was Oleg the King a history of her secestors, we were strongly reminded of the scene in the School for Scandal, in which Charke Surface descants on the merits of his forefathers. The Piece world be greatly improved, if the lady were to omit her dissertation on the vir tues of her earliest ancestry, sod bet her appeal to the latent virtues of her Sovereign, commence, by im mediately drawing his attention to the states of her father ; the effect would be much stronger. Se veral other parts of the Piece would be much im proved by a judicious curtailment. The performers eserted themselves I. the utmost for their Author. Of I the acting of Miss O'NEILL, Measn. Youjeo, Mac* MILADY, sod C. KLIMILt, tea much cannel be sold. Mrs. FAUCIT. as Olivia, sad Mr. Ampere, as lb. King, made as much of the characters as the charac ters themselves admitted of. The Prologue and Epi lope coolain some geed pint.; and the latter, la particular, was well delivered by Mn.
