.I DRURY-LANE THEATRE. LORD BYRON'S TRAGEDY. The tragedy of Marino Faliere was net intended for stage representarion, as the extract from the noble author's preface, which has been quoted in most of the journals, most have informed the pub lic. Not only was it his Lordehip's design tint to write with a view to representation; but it is, averred by the publisher that it was his particular wish that it should not be performed; an injunction to the same effect hits issued from Chancery to prevent the performance of this tragedy ; and from !mod-hills which were showered from the gallery, it appears that the injunction was not applied for until the remonstrance of the publisher ern proved to be ineffectual iii preventing the performance. With these details we leave the legal merit or demerit of briogiag the ploy forward to the decision of the Lorin CHANCELLOR. With respect to the piece steel, it was nearly secured from the chance of being brought out (at least so early) by the 160 pages of large octavo, which the plot takes to work in from first to last ; hut what will not ' the improved system of dramatising literature at. taia to ? The age 'which has increased the poweol of steam and the operations of chemistry so won: eerfully, has given apparently equal facilities 10.1 the art which is technically termed " play vamp ing"—and behold a miracle ! a piece which, ac. cording to the preface, has taken the noble author four years from conception to birth, has been, with no other aid than a pair of seissrs or a blotting pen, condensed into the represesitative size elf a neat five act popular tragedy. The chief parts were disposed of as follow Marko Falterer (the Doge) Mr. Cooper, Bertarcio l'aliero J.toni • Benimteade .. Mr. P.,a,11, michael Steno. Mr. Draft Berthed° Mr. Willsek, Phillip Catendora . Mr. Itromlcs, Bertram At:Online( (Wife of the Doge) For the advantage of those who have not had time yet to read ihe tragedy, and are ueconscious of the historical incidents on which it is founded, it inay be necessary to say that the plot rest. upon a con @piracy against the Government of Venice, which was entered into by the Doge iii 135.5. in come- Novae, of justice having been refused him for pti insult offered In the character of his wife by Michael Steno. The conspirney is ripe for exrcu. bon, and the bell of Si. Mark's loss actually sounded fur the onset of the conspirators ; but th e wa n t of resolution in one of the con vie-adore, Bertram, orleices him to seek the re m-mei .... of the life of Lioni, a senator, of his acquaintance. To Lioni lie imparts a caution not to stir out mitil be comes to g ive him notice that lie may do so with safety. Lioai therewpon contrives to wheedle him out of the best Indr of' the seder—then secures him, aid by bringing him before the Council of Ten, which is foithwitli coo yoked, the whole scheme is revealed. The rebels are taken and executed. The Doge is amerced of his dignities and possessions find decapitated, and lots wife tsars lel° a convent. It so happens that shetrigedy, which abounds its every ot her excellence, is deficient in that clogs or incidents which are the best toiled to suceelefol representation. The poem is -a prodigy almost entirely of the noble poet's creation. this mule has called up from the of oblivion the feelings and propensities, the he;•oic and erring ambition of a proud and exalted bring, wrecked amidst the eddies of cispricious fore tune. But the gradual declination of a gallant and xlorions mishit it a theme too difficult for the living stage. That lineconeatenat ion of declining ceusesand consequences which in the pin in requires, as it hiss received, the amplest apologies of impulse and sees. timent, becomes indittilict and utterly obscure (especial's,. after indiscri ... i.. ate and bridle-its cur tailments) 'hieing') the medium of vocal n ite imite .

The scene in the fourth act, in which Lioai gets possession -14 the rebellious secret. is, perhaps, the best nilmied for oral represent:virus ; but it pass-s 1 e•ti Li fitly. It is, in short, labouring against 'hate and circumstance, no less than the law, to at teutpt to keep these fragments of glorious nook niiiiisliip on ale stage, re vesting. as they do, ale mind of the aatheir, only to tantalize with elissatis fattiou at It:tie abrupt imperfections.

Leawi'sdeseription of the revel and midnight - , which has been given in the journals, was very pro perly left out, as being too much in the character of a detached episode to affect the plot of the tragedy.

Angie/btu', discouree be fore the 'Council, on her husband's condemnation. was much admired as far as it was preserved, but w e have not room hir the extract. The fifth act has had the greatest profusion of poetry lavished en it by the noble author. Marino's denunciation, against the city on, end just before, his execution, are glowing heydnd descitetiou. But we must refer the reader to the book for the instances. The fol lowing !passage gave rise to a mixed sensation in the audience, which caused a temarkable prolonot tion of plaudits, to the annoyance of some who s e sympathies had not the same tendency, and who accordingly expressed their dissent in hisses. The Doge recommends his wife and k 11040114 to the mercy of the Senate, upon which the following dis- Course occurs :--- • They shall be cared for; Emelt notwithstanding thine unbeard•of crime. BOGY.

And who were they who fell in such a cause? DOSE. The King of Sparta. and the nese of Venice—. Agis tied Faliero! At the felling of the curtain the applause, were general, hut they were not without a diseordu'it accompaniment. We trust that-the manager and publisher will he able to settle their differences without much litigation ; for, as it it the express wish of the poet that the piece should not appear, so it most be cut - drooled that the prospect or suc cess in counteracting that wish on time part of the Mainiger is nut very flattering in paint of profit, whatever it may do for him in the reputation of classical Inn At in early hour this morning we receierd the following comnittoiention from the theatre : " THEATRE ROYAL. DRURY-LANE. " Thursday, April 26, 1821. " Lord Anion's tragedy of Marino Fuhero was rerri%eil, last nizlit, with the epplanre and acclamation which hail been anticipated from the high genius of its distinguished author. Its reps Milan would have been announced for this evening, ■s a wailer of course; but certaiu persona, uu grounds at present incapable of being understood. and which remain to he explained end justitiiil, have thought 6t to ob tain an INJUNCTION in CHANCERY against the Ile. presenlalion of the PLA Y. Under these extraordinary circumstances, the further performance of the tragedy moist fur the present moment be suspended. It is conceived, I,,,wever, that the impediment thus thrown in the way, ant only of the interests of the Theatre, but of the heatiun of the public, can he but of very short duration; ■nd that the Piece will, before lour, be again exhibited wish the brilliant imccess which attended its performance yesterday evening."

This was aii action of !rover, tried before Mr. Justice Burroitgli, at the Spring Assizes for the county of Suffolk. The Defendant was an Attor ney, and it was to rico.er a deed which lee held that the action was brought. It 'imitated that a women, reamed Scott, hurl lent the Film of 8001. on mortgage, to a man named Lotlyer ; it was after wards eished to assign the mortgage deed to l'i;. mate out Mrs. Scott consented to the transfer.

Mr. Moons followed on the sante side. Mr. ABRAMS supported the rule nisi, and con. tended that as Bridges had, in the pet-sisal of the deed, discovered an error which would have beret prejudicial to Pitman, he was on that account abo entitled to claim against him.
