Theenece, as we bladed on the first night of its performenice, is taken from the tale of the same name Abe popular work entitled " Tales of 3f Ltaidlord, attributed to WALTER Scorr. Do e original work is full of dramatic incident, the ~,osised Author has departed from hie usual sub ., rii, anti instead Ilf delighting his readers with the chivalrous feats of the warriors of old, and the long train of romentic'adventures which marked their career. lie has condescended to dip into the mo dem history of hie mmistry, and give us • picture o f its matierra somewhat near our o w l s time, rine tilred, 'weever, with just enough of superstition to give variety to his cletraciers. and 'mike them a mixture of the beingv that we {snow and love, anal the fiends we are taught to dread and hate. 'Hie prominent incidents orihis work Mr. DIIIDIN has dramatised —he has rot departed from the main story of the origirial. Ifiragh he has judiciously curtailed mossy of its tinge, and lopped tiff others ethic'', though intererti to the reader, were ill adapted to produ ce d k tic e ff ect. If the elm( I t i nt min sit of invention real With the original Author, it would 1 w unjust to den * Mr. DaDDIN the praise to which he is justly entitled% ,for the selectimmi end werangement of the chansetersin the piece, f an th in e I lass eeicOurageinent he has given to his compy the part; Isofigned to them, and for the opletittel mature in wlutils,Lhe whole of the scenic orrasige memo hare been execrated, and the strict coiefor mity which has throughout been p.id to the cos tume, arenery, mail habit of use country where the story is laid. We debt - 1141 the plot ou the first aught, but were compelled tit &Vetch the perfosto eis with it few brief observanniu.`, Mrs. Ellerrool appearance on this stage was one of the attractite novelties which called forth loud applause. This actress hail already &UM enishrd herself in Ileg Merrilies, at' Gavot- Catdra, and airs of course *elected as lite Moulg# Irddfire, in The Heart of Mid-Lothian. Hoe performance. from beginning to end, was a con tinued exhibition of admirable acting—in no in iii•loce did she overstrain a character which may be said almost to invite extravagant acting from the strange peculiarities belinigeig to it. She exactly mingle the Author's ides of the character, and kept strictly within its fair limits. There was • .t , ilthit ss and a tenderness in her distress", which gave a deep interest to the past; stud where her dis order became inflamed by possiou, there was an appalling energy its her manner, which ion parted t h e highest interest to her *Mum. The occasionel glimpses of reason which derelope the tenderness of her natural feelings, were also pniortrayeil with litre effect. This Indy c*nuot fail to he a great acquisition to this theatre. Mies TAYI.oR's Jeanie was eirstaiiied with great feeling and truth; she pourtnsyed with tenderness and ac curacy the various emotions which the character is slestined to express. laud upheld the fine moral it is intended to roovey--that lsowerwr specious are the "b. -melds of artifice, to' duce a departure from ' the welt• tine of niond oh lion, tbeeonly safe ;roll is that ~..e .--<i.. po d i peon errant:ea..' . virtue mom he finally crow ned th success.

Glass (fu he • wo pa — itit to sustain), that stir was e ply at home on the stage in roller th . cor the hog. Mrs. DISDIN, as the Quern, was only called upon to display dignity, and her appearance end manner gave her a full commatul of the part. MM. HORN'S Effie Dellat was tragic enough. The part for dm. nook rtlect hardly admits of the expression of More than one feeling, and that she fully developed. VerzwiettAx's Laird of Ihtabiedikes was as iinc i e .,l p ie c e o f s et iris and 11111110100 a simplicity. WATKINS'S Staunton is entitled to smoking more s hi m a p ee seug nibute of praise. The part be losigs to that class of characters of which we read sit the ttsffrreiit stages of our livcs—it is Ilea of the outlawed robber, who figures in our .00ot-hooks, . null seems to redeem his atrocities by the occasional exercite of cheap generueny—strip off the galthlig, stud on hare precisely the saute materials iii the greet heroes of romance, who are rendered almost tinwinstisig to our eyes by the descriptive powers of SCOTT and BYRON. The author dues a great deal fur the actor Maack a character ; but yet the latter Is not without the uecessity of devehiping more than one petition, and making strong and powerful t4t ertinia.

This wee on action for libel, brought against the Proprietor of The IThiereer Newspaper. The libel complained of appeared in November, 1317. it, the Monday impression of that Paper. and contained strong reflections upon the character of the Plain tiff, who had, during the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, been imprisoned in cotnuinn with others, and lied been suspected of n connextou with INlffle incendiary characters et that iiiiftirtniiiite period. The Plaintiff was aroused In the - ill1h11(1. lion, not only with being a sedit.one person, but even with being one of the selected feeders of an enterprise. the object of which was an attack on his Majesty's barracks. and a direct invasion of his Go vernment. The damages were laid at Five Thou sand Pounds. Mr. CHITTY opened the pleading*. Mr. SC A RLETT stated the case. fie should, he said, chew a claim to a verdict upon the great prin ciple' of the Constitution, and only touch incideti tally upon other ;solute, which so naturally sag ge.sted themselves in a case where so mach persoicil iiijory was sustained. The Plaintiff was now a poor, a ruined man ; he had commenced life io the town of Nottingham, in in humble• way. as a jaurties - man mattufacturer of lace, and by his iiitegrity nod industry became much reeptctvd. In a few years lie found that the fruit, of those habits, fir which lie was remarkable. 'stabled him to em pl o y others. Ile became a master, and to the favoureble impression of his character, by credit. it;ily supporting an aged mother. a wife au.i chil dren, to whose society he devoted hinuo If. Ts In.. priate, and retired, :nail frugal. he permitted the security lie enjoyed in the bosom of hi 4 faintly to he disturbed by no political discord. Hie anxiety for the prosperity of those wham avocations e ,i een .. bled his, induced him to become a ineinber of a so ciety for assessing the price of work, and such wit. the idea entertained of his integrity and worth, that the members elected him their treasurer, * situation which he tilled to the -satisfaction of all. At that unfortunate period of distress amongst the journey rarn, on which dissentious a rose, the humanity of the Plaintiff was easily discoverable, fur it was sons found that lie had not kept pace with the more opulent ma. nufacturers in reducing the wages of the workmen. He had been poor himself, and he pitied the poor— he had known what want was, and he chose rather to tdeck the progress of his own accumulatitnatilan to Oninisli the cogaforts of those by whose labour lie had attained his luperiority. The consequence of this generous feeling was the rallying round him of numbers of workmen, Ltifl the jealousy of those who had acted upon a inure 'interested system. No one doubted his integrity, he continued to pursue au undeviating course, content with the advantages re sulting from his industry, and happy in the coni mendotion of his own heart. At length those this emotions with which several parts of the country were agiatted broke out into a formidable shape, and here the propriety stamped upon the Plaintiff's general conduct was not backward in exhibiting itself. He exerted himself to the utmost to check the progress of those unhappy ebullitions. Go veruatent thought it iiecesury to interfere, for out rages were committed which required the interpo sition of a stronger authority than that of indivi duals. Several of those who were presumed to have been implicated were apprehended, awl as it was supposed that some might have been improperly suspected, it subscription was set on foot to obtain for the creased the advantages of en able defence— s thing the more necessary, us under such circurn i:tances a difficulty might arise in procuring an unbiassed Jury. The subscription was made in the most open manlier. and none of those who subscribed laboured owler the sl.glitest im putation of disloyalty for the part tiny had taken. The Plaintiff was applied to to receive those subscriptions, lie refused, hut on being pressed, consented to perform the office, and acted in this new capacity to the satisfaction of all. It was worthy of rem..rk, that of all who .had been accused hut one was convicted—a proof that :he Plaintiff was justified in his opilfsan that his own conduct was deserving of no reprehension. He, however, he- Caine an object of suspicion, and upon the suspen sion of the Habeas Corpus Act, was considered a person of such formidable character by the Ma gistrates that they thought it due to their own character for activity to exercise the power which was just given, and issue such directions respecting him, as a degree of zeal. rendered intemperate, per haps, by their suspicious, dictated. On the 10th of Jut:e, 1817, while with his fatuity. ten or twelve constables entered his house, and without a warrant proceeded to search F.a house from top to bottom. They did not omit to examine every canister and thimble, and to this day no motive was stated for so extrawditiary a liberty. Judigtioni at the insult, lie4letermined, with the feeling natural to an Englishman, to complain to those from whotti he expected redress; and by the advice of a professional gentleman, whom he had consulted as to the best means of vindicating his character from the cootie iptence of such an outrage, applied to the Magistrates for an explanation. Conscious' he demanded the authorit his home and the peace He was advised to Berl dependence. and with giity, persevered in strange and wanton pc.._ such as might be imagined, where power was wield ed by those who were utiqualified to use it with a moderation that shed o glory round authority. The Plaintiff was committed to prison.
