TO THE EDITOR. - SlR—Vont polite attention in g i ving n place to my late communication is entitled to my warmest thanks, and has encouraged me to send you another, which I have inst received from my friend. 'llion the batne subject. The following is a copy : ACCI DENTS. DEAR SIR-,1 have been highly OrUttled with reading the accounts of accidents in the Daily Papers. This immense metropolis, comprising, ac cording to the last census, upwards of one million one Imndred thousami souls, with a due proportion of horses, dogs, carts, and carriages, must, of neces sity, furnish an iiifinity ; but it is not the quantity that surprises me, it is the quality, and it is upon this latter point I wish to make a few remarks. Some times I read at the head of a column an account of an old woman getting drunk with gin, and falling in the fire. Next, perhaps, comes an account of an old Lord, fa Mug desperately in love with a young lady, but miraculously preserved by a sudden death from his awful situation. Sometimes I ate put in a blaze by the luminous report of a house on fire, and the following line freezes me with horror, while it details t he breaking of the ice in Hyde Park, mid the immersion of a groupe of skoiters. Sometimes I ant given to understand, that I am h ening to perm a very sermons accident, and on Peru-ni I only find that the CHANEET.LoR of the EXCHEQUER has lost his speech, or some lady of quality her reputetionn The quality ofnecideuts is thus not only misrepre sented, but a frightful confusion exists, where a lucid order should prevail. These ate the points of which I complain; and I wish to remedy the one amid the other•—to give to each accident an ap propriate amine and description, and to classify them in ii way that shall give perfect satisfaction, by a judicious arrangement. To illustrate my position —ln a paper of i esterday I read the following:— " Mr. Deputy Guzz'e, in going last night into his wine-cellar, was astonished to find that several bottles of his best port had moved from their places in the bin, and disappeared." This is denominated a most curious accident, there being two B4nansell locks upon the cellar and one uomi the bin, of Al of which an old and trusty servant had the keys. Now, Sir, instead of a ca rious accident, I should propose to call it a very simple accident, the keys having, I presume, been perfectly competent to open the locks. And so it is in almost all the cases of reports of accidents to he found in the Daily Newspapers. On Tuesday, I read an account of a most alarming accident, and well it might-be called so. It was: the explosion of a barrel of gun-powder, in a store of 79 barrels, when, had they all blown up, the whole town in which they were de:visited, with mill its inhabitants, must have been blown to atoms. On the next day I read in the same paper another ALART4IIO accident, which pruvtd to he nothing more 'than the boiling over of a carpenter's glue pot, by which a heap of shavings were set on tire, which would have communicated to the shop,• and from thence probably to the next house, had not the carpenter's son, a little Gulliver, been fortunately upon the spot, mho by a singular presence of mind instantly extinguished the conflagration by a very natural and simple process. It is the same case with articles emitted horrible accidents, frightful accidents, shocking accidents, ludicrous accidents, laughable accidents, &c. all which are blended in glo rums confusion, mid of course generally misnamed. As for example—As Miss Polly Plush, forewoman to Mrs. Frisk, the fashionable milliner in St. Paul's Church-yard, London, was tripping along, her pretty little feet flew from under her, and down she came flat upon her ----, opposite the London Tavern, upon Ludgate-hill. A crowd was instantly collected around her, some of whom helped her imp. One of these took out a white handkerchief, and began to wipe off the dirt from 1 the sufferer's neat dimity petticoat ; but the more Miss Polly was ininbed, the inure the rubber marred the labour. A carrfnl old lady who happened to be emote.; the 1-rood, seeing the folly of this pro cess, conceived that the best mode would be to rid Miss Polly of thr valise of this distress, by entirely removing the petticoat, and immediately proceeded to untie it. Miss Polly resisted, a struggle ensued, and she fell into a tit, duriug which it was useertain ed that she swooned through modesty, having only a single petticoat, and being determined not to expose her person. Now, Sir, the Newspapers call this a ludicrous accident, but I consider it a very serious accident, for at tine time Miss POLLY fell, and soiled her only petticoat, her umbrella flew from one hand, and a neat hand-box, containing a valuable cap, from the other, and some paltry thieves ran away with them both. Your.. Thursday morning, between one and two o'clock, a fire broke out in the first floor of the house of Mr. J.osiEs, in Portpool-lane, svhicli was got under after destroying the wainscot, and a considerable part of the furniture. ioutorday morning a small hair trunk, containing • or wearing. apparel and several other ar ticles of value, directed to Mr. LYN I), at Brighton, was stolen from the Brighton waggon between the lon and Stone's-end' in the Borough. • Romeo the par , Exeter liet.

Juliet . 14 not a part that requires the highest powers: a youthful appearance, a pleasing voice, and a gnmeftd carriage, assisted by any common portion of tenderness, in which the sex ars seldom deficient, will carry more modentte abilities through the task than one would be at first disposed to imagine of so remarkable a heroine as the Juliet of SHAKS PEA RE. SOme tine opportunities, it is trae, present themselves, and the charm of poetry is always at haml to smooth and ernlsellesa the advantages of a geed delivery ; hut tenderness, even where the lofty stretch of sublime emotion cannot he attained, will he sufficient to insure ins interest in the performance. Mrs. BARNES ventured beyond the limits of this timid convention, and, we are happy to add, with L,csitisiderable - snecess. Her figure, though small, is gracefully proportioned ; her countenance is capable •of various, cud, sometimes, of strong expressioin and she treads the stage with perfect ease. tier voice is in ;emend sweet, and her articulation always ills tinct ; but some of her higher tones aparoach to Ami nes., though we think rather front want of manage meat, titan from any natural defect. Her concep tion of the character was at the saute time just and hold—she did not confine it to the mere whine of inrinsitonous love, but seizing oil those other pas sinus that grow out of the principal distress, she increased the effect of the where by giving them a higher colouring. The soliloquy that precedes her drinking of the Filur's draught, was a s'.riking iat stance of this. Terror was slow prettomitta.a, ;IA she bestowed the whole force of her exertions on the portrait. They were attended with loud and repeated planffits. The dying scene was imother distinguished by the game ability. Het interviews with Romeo were expressive of . ' that ardent love which was te !nave its sincerity by death ; and those with her Nurse were playful, anxious, in sinuating, mind impassioned. as the orcasiems suc cessively • demanded. But the performance was. not without its (tercets. We have adready noticed some disagreeable intonations of voice. To this we may mid a propensity to violent declamation, sometimes not supported by the, air cninstances of the scene, and sometintes not ahthn.. rised by the discretion or " modesty of nature," even where the passion wits intense. These, how ever, are faults which a little more acquaintance with the London stage *ill be sufficient to remove. The en ors that arise from feeling. judgment will in time correct, while those that originate in the wants of it, resist the advautages of experience. Of Mr. , 11. t v.'s Romeo we have frequently girth our opinion herore. it is a well-ronertved performance, though not among. the happiest or his undertakings.— lie was excellent in die dying scene. Mr. ‘Cr•L-, L ACK, who is certainly a very promising actor, did not seem to us to possess weight enough for the character of Tyboli. Mr. S. PEN LEY . made his first appeatance in that of Nercutio, and though he was very fasouratsly received, upon the whole, and in many parts much applauded. we most own that he failed of producing that effect in our minds. for which the Port had supplied Itim With such ample materials There was but little either of ease sir polish its his vivacity. His powers of recitation. were put to a severe test in the description of Queen Mob, and he had no cause to congratulate him self on Lasing, encountered the difficulty. 11Irs. SPARKS was quite at house in the Nurse. We have . often seen her in this part, and are always pleased to see her again. The humorous fidelity with whit Is she catches up the manners of this inquisitive and loquacious class, is truly admirable. Without stretching into extravagatice upon the one hand, or sinking into tameness upon the other, she proves its her performance, that the qualities of truth mid humour are as compatible as those of nature and passion. The announcement of the Play for repe tition was received with great applause. taste. - Was old A gentleman, who had been led to enter a theatre in a provincial town, by seeing a large party going in before the play began, was asking what the re presentatioil was to be? " Sir," said his next neighbour, " it is a private party acting for their own naiseincra."—" Then, Sir," replied the gen tleman, " I will trouble yon to let me pass, as I am certain it will not be for mine." • The remains of Doctor VINCENT, the venerable Dean of Westminster. were buried morning in, St. Benedict's Chapel, at the back of Davues's monument, on the right-hand leading. to King HENRY the Seventh's Chapel, in Westmiuster Ab bey.
