COVENT-GARDEN. The Point of' Honour, a play translated front the French, by Mr. C. KY Mims:, was last night revived at this Theatre. It is a drama evidently formed on the German tuudel—but very few, if any. of the pieces harrowed from that prolific source of dr. rnoterions mid the terrible, not to say th e limrible, are equal to it in inteiesi— and ceitaiitly not one of them. that we recol lect, is sat pure iu its morality. The situatione, ere calculated In produce powerful emotion.— the sentiments which they call forth are uniformly good—nod the language. though occasionally' iidiated, 4$ generally eurrect, anal sometimes eloquent. The play has beau revived, 14 the purpose of lutritittieing I t'Neti.t. in anew character, dust of the amiable Bertha—trod ad • ttttt ahly did she support it. She looked more than tettially graces of her per sist were never wore beautifully set off tha n by the plain, but elegunt slres•, winds she wore—as a. her fume, at simple as her manners:.
