The doctiiiie of poetical jostice has hero strictly Uttelirlril to by Mr. :saris., :sod, Su our opinion, such should always be the case, where the story is ;mutely fictitious. We so often wittless the triumph of vice, lit rept life, that weak existence of at sopernitesiding Providence, and this being the fact, it is surely unnecessary to strengthets this erroneous feeling, by the aid of scenic fictions. Isi Mr. SD El CS lingetly virtue hat its trials. but it has also its rewards. The villaiu alone sutlers—aid thus the mural of the piece is rendered clear sod obvious. We conceive that the tragedy is rather: too long. Souse of the speeches might be curtailed. so us to produce to greater contlematiots of that slant, which is frequently diffused over too great a slumber of lines. lit the statue scene it would, pedalos, be as well, a Eenahe, instead of guiug over the whole of the genealogical tree, confined herself to the mention of her father. l'he poetry, throughout this scene, is tiot latil i tedly ',roomful, and as beauti fully rev iled by Miss O'NEILL. But, while she is thus engaged, the action is retarded. Its another pinta. also, she dreina might be iinproved. At present it does hot appeor that Olivia's t&achery is made known to Cologne. This important dis closure might be introduced, ill one or two lines, when kvadne, raging st the supposed death a l ri centio, in the bitterness of distress, loads her brother with reproaches. The tragedy wss snout triumphantly received, by a Very crowded and fashionable sudience. It will, we are convinced, base a long rum—but we are sure it will nears he a favourite at Court. Cu/intaa —a character which Mr. YouNG played notrussitly —speaks you much truth—reprobates too freely the vices of courtiers, mot the despicable weak ness of Monarchs—to afford a shadow of hope that the inhabitants of Palaces will ever entertain kindly, Tl:e eharacter of Leonine is finely suited to Miss O'Nett.i.'s sold.oseliing powers. Evadne is all shrinkiog delicacy—feminine softness—an gelic mildness—spotless purity. The storm of un kindness may " batter at her pence "—but, though she cannot repel it, she milks not before it. Con scious insiocence sup:torts her—aid, while all with out is dark, dreary, and desolate, she enjoys within, that " Aim-Arnie of the soul," which a cons, irisce void doffs sire can alone confer. In expressing the devoted love. sod the bruit-appalling grief of Evadne, Miss O'NEILL was equally successful. [ler opening soliloquy was exquisite. It is quite in the style of Julia—sod she imparted to it all the playful, pouting; pettishness., which residers that character. 111 the early scenes, so itltertStitig. tier interview, immediately alterwaids, with VS eentio whets her smiles still caresses are received, first, with coldness, and filially with contempt, was extremely touching---particularly, the concludiog part, where the discovery of the King's picture de prives her of animation. These —.---" She aremM ansforall to stone, her uwn pale monument." Her greatest scene is, however, in the thirst act, when Colonna and rieentio meet. The earnestness with which she em ir:mimed to persissele her brother that she was not ii pireit—her . despair, when the two beings she most losses retire to ileOrtay each other— and her subsequent joy, when Ohcia mussels to her the secret by stitch she can clear her fame—a ale specimens of perfecta's' in the scenic art.
