EXTRACTS 111 3 031 DOCTO R KING'S MEIOS. II In 1715 I dined with the Duke of Ormonde, at Richmond. We were fourteen at table. — There was my Lord Mart., my Lord Jersey, my Lord Arran, my Lord Larenkiwis, Sir William Wvtitiliam, Sir Redmond Everard, and Atterbury, Bishop of Rochester. The rest of the company I do not exactly remember. During the dinner there was a jocular dispute (I forget how it wes introduced) concerning short prayers. Sir William Wyndham told us, that the shortest prayer he had ever heard was the prayer of a common soldier just before the battle of B l e nheim, 4 U God ! if there ide a God. save my soul, if I hare a soul " This was followed by a general laugh. immediately &cud that such a treatment of the subject was ludicrous, at lea't very improper. where a ' religious Prelate was one of the com- I had soon an opportunity of making a eflection.

' (1 in the day of tattle I forget Thee, do forget me !' This, as Atterbury ru t, with his usual grace and dignity, was a 4 and polite reproof, and was immediately :he whole company. And the Duke of who was the best bred man of his age, turned the discourse to another subject." Pope and I, with my Lord Orrery and Sir • Ilerliogfield, dined with the lute Earl of Bur.

LONDON, SATURDAY. SEPTIAMIL 4, 1619. The Ministerial part of the public press. as might be expected, declaims with its wonted ma lignity against the meeting assembled in Palace yard yesterday. The object of the meeting was such as must of course have excited the worst pas sions of the Treasury scribes. and the unman{ respectability of the persons composing the crowd assembled on the occasion, must still further have imbittered their feelings. There is a lute amid hackneyed mode of abusing the people whenever they presume to question the wisdom and infalli bility of those in authority, which, as the best suited to such dirty work, must be puristic(' on every occasion, no matter whether it be applicable or not ; like the tyrant's couch it never varll.l, while the victim must he margled or distorted to suit its dimensions. The same rude and vulgar phrases which have already {been u sed against th e numerous bodies of Reformers, who have flour time to time assembled. are therefore employed to vilify the meeting •t Palace-yard. although it differed essentially firm the public meetings lately held in the metropolis arid other parts of the king dom, not only in the general appearance of the persons composing it, but, what is of far noire im portance, in the object for which it was corivened. The expediency of a reform in the mode of electing Members for the (louse of Commons was indeed introduced, but it formed only sit i..cidesibil topic of discussion. The great and primary object was to assert and vindicate • right which ought to be dear to every friend of this country—the night of meeting in public for the discussion of grievances and the suggestion of remedies. Should this right be surrendered, either by the treachery of Par lismeut or the supineness of the peo ple, public l i b er ty must cease with it ; rio means will then exist of communicating and preserving that thril ling touch of freedom, which is the life's-blood of the British Constitution. and which princi pally, if not alone, eupports that public opi nion which is the ground-work of all our itistim tiotie. Let this right be lost by whatever means, and nothing remains to counteract the vigorous march of despotism. Round this point, therefore, every Englishman should rally. The question is essentially distinct from those, whether personal or public. with which unhappily it seems to lie en twined. Let not the s . linisterial writers think to persuade the people to betray their dearest rights, by heaping calumnies upon HUNT, and pourtraying the dangers of Universal Suffrage. With Mr. HUNT and Parliamentary Reform in any shape the question regarding the right of free discussion is just as much involved as the venerable names of John Doe and itichurd Roe are with the civil process that enables a subject to prosecute his claim in a Court of Justice. The forms of our Courts of Law cruder the presence of three muses necessary. and they are laid eside with ease when their object is obtained. So is it with Mr. HUNT. Ili Isis person a public tight has been invaded, tied it becnmet *matter of poLlic ennvenience that name should be employed cooforonably with the practise of oar Courts of Law, in asserting the ena joymeot of that right in future.

The orttismants that decorate the hours have been cleansed and hrightened-s-and their sp pearanee is now as beautiful and brilliant as when they first came front the banal of the ar tist. The fluted pillars, by which the boxes are supported, which originally were covered with slyer leaf, have been gilt and highly burnished. This is an improvement which adds considerably to the richness of the general effect. The alteration of the pruseeniuns is, however, the great improve ment. Formerly, when melts-dramatic pieces, de mantling a gtent extent of spectacle, and great Inf titles* of scenery, were reinvented, individual; in the higher parts of the house, were deprived of a full view of the stage. on account of the immove ability of that part of the proscenium on which the King's arms are painted. By an ingenious contri vance, it can 110 1 1 he raised fourteen feet ; and thus. in the most remote corner of the house, the spectator en joys a full view of what is passing, in the highest portion of the scene.

SURREY THEATRE. The third representation of The President and the Peasant's Daughter, confirmed last night the high character it attained oil its first production. The acting of Miss TAYLOR was w powerfully t tfective, even in herself, that at the end of the first act she was taken from the stage in strong hysterics.

[MOW " vows imouuma foal • This charming and accomplished actress has closed her erigagement, and though we h ere already laid before our readers a faint delineation of her leading performances. we are tempted, while the impreasion made by theta is strong sinul oar mind, to take a more general review of her particularly as touching the present state of t:.e stage. Connected as this subject is with the mo. rality and civilization of the people. the difficulty is not in want of matter, but to select from the numerous topics obviously involved in it, such at are most interesting. The manifest and extraordinary improvement of the stage in these countries, appears strikingly in three point*: in the refinement of the pulAic tote, es ' hewn in the pieces exhibited—in the mode of re presentation—and in the character of the per formers. That the written drama has improved (we mean in a moral sense only) is so obvious, when compared with the works of the elder dramatists, that it is almost unnecessary to say a word on the subject—but even with authors of the last century. the reformation has been equally pointed and effec tual. Withont enumerating a dry list of names. we shall merely select two as instances—Farquhar and Congreve. Of the many comedies written by the former, only two now retain possession of the stage, and of those of the latter, not one. Bat, perhaps a better, because a more permanent sta'.d. srd may be found in the works of Shakspeare. Those who have paid attention to the performance of his plays, for the last ten or fifteen years, must recollect the gradual obliteration of passage ;thee passage ; until the purgation is at last become cm- Woe. and no filthy dross remands to alloy the rich produce or Iris inexhaustible mine. We take these proofs to he quite conclusive on this part of the subject. No actor would now dare to incur the displeasure of the audience by the delivery of those passages, which half • century ago were not only tolerated hut applauded. In maims' . g. in the second place, the superior excellence of dramatic representation at the pre sent day. we are sensible that we are entering die. potable ground, and that a long list of illustrions names may be raised in formidable array against at. We are far from pretending to dogmatise upon tie subject, and particularly as our opportunities of ocular observation cannot embrace the entire period we are treating of. But after giving the subject much consideration, we are strongly of opinion that the abilities of the performers of the lust century, and particularly of the early part of it, have been over-rated ; or. rather that their defects arose more from the school in which they . were educated, than from any want of power en themselves. — As far as we can collect, the style of acting of that day was a species of vapid declamation, is set of movements by rule, like schoolboys in a en.. trust, without sufficient regard to the universal I in. gunge common to all stations. Why G.irrick did not bring the stage to greater perfection in his time, would lead us into too long • disquisition to consider. But the fact is indisputable- o ot there was great room for improves/omit—when to individuals smite, fully competent to the task. Mr. Kemble and Mrs. Siddons. The antiquated (rips pery of the old school vanished before the lustre of their abilities—they gave the admiring public • splendid specimen of man in his proudest form. end a spirited and faithful delineation of all the deeper and darker passions which agitate Iris breast. Tie very faults of these distinguished performers may be traced up to their exceHiug btilliaucy in their own walk. The same moaner that seemed appro priate in their performance, would be out of place. and almost ridiculous, if used in ordinary occur rences, or to express the feelings of ordinary life; the leading defect of the Kemble school was there. fore not inaptly designated by the term seamteritat —and yet it was this defect only that Is.* been transcribed by the crowd of imitators, who sought to supply their place—the beauty of the originals was lost its the copy—like all other mimics, they caught the shadow, but lost the substaace—hke Potiphar's wife, they seize d • strenuous grip of the clock. but the spirit of life and animatiou within it escaped. Before we advert to the importance of Min O'Neill's appearance at this period, we must he• stow a few words on a fellow-labourer in the vine yard, who, with very inferior pretensions, has nevn theleas hail considerable success. It was at this critical moment, when the public were sick of imi tations, that Mr. Kean, with personal disadvautsgts that would have deterred any other man—with a figure:di but deformed and the worst of all bad voices, had the hardihood to plan, and the ability to accom plish, setting himself forward as the master of a new school of acting. Eve r y bod y knows the avi dity with which the public ( and the London poc in particular) run after n ovelt y —Fashion threw her mantle over him, and those who would not bow her foe the idol, ran great danger of being called fcois, or r knocked on the head, or both. Mr. Kean, kit moat founders of sects, has probably gone further than he intended: he began by being Nateral--.he ft now is anxious to be new —he seeks less to gi every part of the text its due colouring, than to make a point oat of some trifling passage that every one else neglected. His success, however, was too splendid not to raise him com p etitors ; who were possessed of some of his excellencies, and free from his defects. The moat successful of these are Booth and Vandenlioff ; but the odds at starting were too much in his favour, and if Isis popularity has declined, it is certainly more owing to the in sutfcrable presumption and arrogance of them an, than to any fickleness in his followers. He os, however. to want head to bear ' meekly' his eleva tion, and his acting hav (eve n b y the admission of his admirers) visibly and considerably deteriorated. We now gladly turn our undivided atten tion 1 ,, the advantages that have arisen, and are likt! to arise, from the transcend ent talents or Mi,. O'Neill and the peculiar fitness of the titre in which she has arisen. Had this actress appeared.: the early time to which our beginning observation. referred, the probability is, that she would not hi" beets popular. The change would have been NO radical to be borne.
