It may he seen from the nature of the co lours, whether the picture be grave or gay its beauty, force, and effect, depends upon the composition, and of these the eye alone can judge. A brief sketch of the fable is therefore suffi cient for our purpose. Charles Merton arrives at the mansion of his father to take possession of his estate, accompanied by his friend Sidney, a dashing young man of Here he happens, in a' state of ine briety, to insult Mary, the daughter of farmer Wood land. Recovered from his intoxication, he resolves to expiate his offence, by an offer of his hand to Mary, an 3 for this purpose he writes a letter to her father, which he gives for delivery to Tandem his steward, a whimsical charaCter, whose knavery pro duces many curious incidents, and who happens at the time to he persecuting Old Woodland, because he had refused to give him Mary in marriage. Meantime Mrs. Harvey, a redueed gentlewoman, residing with her daughter Emma in a cottage granted by the late Mr. Merton, finds herself without a home, in consequence of the expiration of her lease. Emma waits upon Charles Merlon to claim his indulgence, and in this interview he feels the interest of a lover, but is in despair when . he retie.% upon the promise which he had made to Mary. From this point the piece appears to derive its title, and a counterplot now commences, so ju diciously interwoven as to make it a complete whole. Consols, a wealthy stock-broker, feeling the vanity of riches without rational means of enjoyment, had traversed the country in the garb of distress, as the truest mode of discovering real goodness. He en ters the cottage of George Howard, by whom he is kindly treated and relieved. In the mother of How ard, Consols finds a lost daughter, who having been privately married to the father of Charles rtferton, is involved in distress by his neglett. From these circumstances many interesting situations arise.— Merton becomes acquainted with his father's turpi tude, by means of a letter supposed to have been written' with his dying hand. George Howard, in censed at Charles Merlon's conduul to Mary, with whom he is in love, challenges him ; they meet, but are prevented fighting by an old servant, who was in the secret, and declares them to be brothers. Merton receives the hand of Emma Harvey, whilst Mary Woodland bestows her's on George Howard, and thus happily concludes the piece. We have always considered the arguments.in fa vour of the pantomimical species of comedy which has so long prevailed, a libel upon the public taste. In its highest rage we do not remember an appeal to the good sense of the public that has proved unsuc cessful. The eye may be amused with an extravagant caricature, but it does not follow that it should be blind to the beauties of a Raphael or a Guido. Some Dramas, pureli legitimate, we allow have been re cently ill received ; but this failure ought not to be imputed to a vitiated taste. If they do not arrest the attention;and enlist all the feelings of the au dience, it is but a poor excuse to say, that they have confined themselves to the rules of the art. All this merit is perfeetly compatible with a dull, formal, and spiritless composition. But supposing the public taste to be Corrupt, it is the duty of the Dramatic Author to lead and not to follow its didates. He should regulate, reform, and improve it. We ad mired John Bull for its intrinsic merits, we admired it still more, when we considered that the author had taken this bold and honourable station. It was a victory won under the banners of legitimate co medy. We congratulate Mr. A 1.1. NGH A 74, the au thor of the present piece, on having nobly followed up that victory, and overturned, we hope, for ever, that power of practical jokes, of strange and un couth groupings, distorted features and pantomi mical bustle. which has so long continued in full possession of the stage. Mr Ai. us:can si is already known to the public, as the author of " Fortune's Frolicis: he could however, only promise himself from that piece, a fleeting fame, the present will fix it upon a durable basis; his charaCters are various and diversified, and yet he has brought them together by the most natural means. A stock broker, two meq of fashion from town„ and two in teresting families of the country, meet at the man sion of a country gentleman, in a manner plausible and simple; and while each charaidler pursues its separate course, they all promote the progress of the piece, heighten its interest, and finally effect a suc cessful completion.—The scene is laid in the bosom of rural retirement, of humble innocence and do mestic virtue ; and the particular morality which it inculcates, is the triumph of these virtues over the difficulties opposed by pecuniary embarrassments and hoestinism.—The series of incidents by which this i:effeeted, are a mixture of the serious and the comic, mutually relieving each other ; and while each is pushed to the extreme of gaiety and pathos, neither of them outstepping the bounds of probabi lity. As an instance of the one, we may cite the scene in which the libertine, Sidney, subniits to be blindfolded by Emma Harvey, who imposes her old nurse upon him,in the place of her own lovely person. In the other class the parting scene between George Howard and Mary, the interview between Consoh and his daughter, and nearly all the scenes in which the parental fondness or the embarrassments of far , mer Woodland are described, deserve particular no tice. In the progress of the piece there is no at tempt at artificial bustle, no forced conceit in the sentiment, no pun usurps the place of wit and hu mour. '1 he interest rises entirely from scenes na turally unfolded, speaking to the heart and awaking its best feelings, and not from incidents crouded upon each other, and of whose merit the mind can scarcely judge, because in their rapid succession none has time to fix the attention. The language is pure, embellished with good imagery, and in as general style displays a classical taste and poetic fancy. These qualities are most observable in the serious scenes, of which some are wrcught into deep pathos, reztud ~. ~.:' • . # and skilfully contrived as to leive great room for the performers to display their powers. It is on this art of his task that the ingenuity of the author.* most conspicuous in his knowledge of -stage effect ; he presents the most striking simatious, and these situations are such as to admit • of the gnatest va riety of embelli s h ment by the aslor, without takir g a liberty with his author. •No preparatory puffs and praise bespoke a favourable reception for this piece. If any previous opinion was formed in the public ntitul, it was rather of an adverse nature, grounded upon tha circumstance of the appearance so late in the season; yet with all these disadvan tages it drew a most brilliant audience, and was heard throughout with fixed attention and uniform ap probation. It is not, however without faults, but happily they are merely such as are incidental, and admit of correßion. The father of Mr. ferten, is said to have been an amiable man. To leave his wife and child in piverty is inconsis tent with such a charaeter, and requires some ex planation. It is also essential to the interest of the piece, that the mind should be satisfied upon the subjea. It is not enough to awake our feelings,, that Mrs. Howard should be a reduced gentlewo woman. We should be strongly impressed with her virtues, to feel an interest in her fate. It is only the suffering that is known to be undeserved that excites our pity. The circumstances of the duel might also be better managed. Mr. PuPL, in the previous scenes of George Howard was impressive and full of sensibility, but in the challenge hewasrude and boisterous. The whole scene also bore strong llusion, though we are sure, not an intentional one to a late melancholy event. In a piece of less merit, and with an audience less pleased, this error might have proved fatal. The only marked;clisati probation which the late Mr. Her4oeasort ever re ceived, was upon a similar occasion at Bath. He was playing the character of Fahtaf, and in the so liloquy upon honour, where he asks "who hath it", and answers "he that died a Wednesday", he marked the passage with a peculiar emphasis, that led the audience to believe he alluded to a gentleman, who fell a few days before in a duel with Count Ittea.—Mr. HENDERSON was in conse quence hissed off the stage. The character of Sidney is necessary, as a contrast to Charles Merton, but there is a licentiousness in it that ought to be cor rected to make it harmonize with the purity and delicacy of the piece.—There never was a new play better performed ; Mrs. JORDAN appeared to great advantage in Emma Ham*, a character of mingled gaiety and pathos. She has the art of giving life, grace, and beauty to every thing she touches. Two pretty airs, composed by Mr. KELLY, were sung by her, in one of which she was enchored. CHARLES Kin ICE entered completely into the spirit of his character, and in Charles Merton displayed all the ardour of a manly, generous, and noble youth. Mr. BANNISTER, i Tandem, and Mr. DOWTON, in Consols, proved a powerful support to the piece. Mrs. Power. t and Miss Mett.osi are also entitled to praise ; the latter p:rticularly imparted much in terest to the character of Mary, and delivered the Epilogue with great archness and vivacity. In the progress of the piece the house frequently resounded with peals of applause, and it was announced for future representation amidst a tumult of approba tion. Lieut.-Colonel KAYE, brother to Sir RICHARD KAYE, who commands the 21st Light Dragoons in Ireland, a few days ago met with a melancholy ac cident, near Dublin ; on mounting his horse, the animal took fright, and the Colonel - was thrown up on his head. By our last accounts his life is de spaired of. It is expeeted that Coloael Woon, the second in command, will set off from London this day or to-morrow, to take the command of the re giment. The poems of OSSIAN will be published in a few weeks in a high stile of embellishment, as well in type and paper, as in engravings, no composition certainly afford more striking subjects for the pencil. On Saturday evening, between nine and ten o'clock, an aged man, employed in his Royal High ness the Prince of Wattles's stables, at Carleton house, was killed by a fall from a stair-case in the stables. He has been one of the helpers in his Royal Highness's stables for upwards of sixteen years, and was well known by the name of Old George: no one was present when the accident imp pencil, and from the stick which the deceased used to walk with, being found set up against the wall at some distance from where he fell over the balus ters, it is feared that he threw himself over, but from what cause cannot be cenjeetured. His Royal Highness being informed at the Opera-house of the accident, was much affected, and humanely gave directions to Mr. TOWNSEND, the police officer, to go and see that every necessary attention was paid. 'The body was put into a shell, and conveyed that night to St. Martin's Bone-house, where the Coro ner's Inquest will be taken on the body. The fineness of the day, yesterday, drew a vast crowd of persons of distinction into Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, but the dust raised by the carriages and horsemen was carried by the strong wind, which blew over every part of the park, and even into the gardens, and greatly annoyed the com pany. Two Ladies who appeared to be foreigners, drew the attention of every one whom they passed by the singularity of their dress, if the light covering they had on could be called dress. They were at length forced out of the gardens by the crowd of young men who followed and hooted them. It has been remarked at Hamburgh, that on the day when the Poet KeOPSTOCK, the Milton of Ger many, was interred, most of the diplomatic corps resident jn that city, followed the Bard's remains to the grave, except Sir G iboitoe Rum ao eh, the British Charge d'Affaires, who sent his equipage empty, to follow the funeral procession. Citizen REINHARD ' who resides there as BONAPARTE'S Mi nister,' asked at a meeting of some diplomatic per sonages (at which several members of the Senate were also present), what Foreign Minister should be the first to follow the hearse ? The Danish Mi nister Baron VON ELarN, as Representative of his Sovereign, and on Danish ground where the Poet's remains were interred, had an indilentable right to precedence, perceiving the Frenchman's drift, very discreetly and liberally said to REINHARD, " I certainly will not dispute the rank of precedence with your Excellency, for I follow the deceased not as Minister of the King my Master. to whose royal bounty he owed his fcertune, but only as his friengi The French Minister felt the reproof, and no reply. „_ ' 3, :r,-,411 , (9577 " >.70 a ►e • e 3 I , .‘ ........." jy 14. to w ti 1:71 CO o ono *AA N *4 ell: 1 ,.., W sr ow, •-• ),* es ...- d.

It appeared. that the pri soner had been arrested for a debt, and when the deceased came into the room where the bailiff had him in custody, he stabbed him with a spear he had in his hand. He was found guilty, and received sentence of death. Tne proceedings against Mr. 111:Avinot, the Surgeon, for attending a gentleman to the field, in the late unfortunate duel, are the general topic of conversation. We have heard it mentioned, that the evidence of this Gentleman before the Coroner was needlessly frank and explicit, as to the means by WO be came upon the ground. It is said, that the late Mr. Topf exvi4s, upon more than one similar occasion, gave no other answer than that he learned to be near the spot ; and certainly such an answer is more prudent.
