Admirals RussaLL and Douce' As, and the principal Officers of the Army and Navy. were present. As there is a serious dispute about the identity and family of Mr. Juices, who was engaged in the latefreees at the theatre, we can assure our readers, he is supposed to be a lineal descendant from the famous Mrs. Jima% recorded in Mr. kicHARDSUN'S Novel of Panetta; or, Virtue Rewarded, ('ashiobury Park, in Hertfordshire, the seat of the noble house of Lissa, which has been six years building, and is said to have cost 80,0001. is now finished, and will. this Christmas, display all the splendid hospitalities of the Earl and Countess of Essex.

Liverpool, liitspisighan t , ar ' other provincial Theatres, with so much appLus e :, made her Mal here on Saturday night, in the cha rade/ of Min Psyss, in llre C.assiryGirl. Th e aa pealeanet of the house did tint evince even a mode rate degree of expedation, There WAS no pressure for plates ; the boles not being half full until a late hour. The first ad went off very tamely. and some allusions in the early scenes, to the age aad,person of Miss Peggr, were not calculated to predispose the audience in favour of the little adventurer. Upon her en tr e , however, at the opening of the second Ad. she was greeted with loud and reiterated appLin.e. But this disposition of the audience was not of twig zoo (instance. Strong real ks f disapprobation soon h e . gan to appear, tins' they encreased with the progress of the play. During almost the whole of the third act, the house was in an uproar. A small minority, in support of the child. clapping arid exclaiming " Turn him out," " Tutu ;" w!niti airs -1 off, qf," Manager, Monager,'! sa Kentish., Kin. hk," were vociferated by the great majority. firs tumultuous noise had become so ITreat in the Fourth Ad, in the scene where Miss l'• g? si c d ,wen with Moody to write the letter, t..” vo - s no thi sta..ze were entirely dro ....tied in the uproar, Miss Mins, who had appeared entirely occupied with the busi ness of the scene, and whose energy had not been, in the least, damped by the marked disappionathrn of the HOLIV, of which she had hitherto AppParrd totally unconscious, now came forward, and pre sented herself at the front of the stage, with an -vi dent intention to address the audience. Her step was firm, her mabuer pettedly free from embrr rassment, and her look full of confidence. Ass o n as the uproar had subsided, she said •• Geetteinen And Ladies, 3%1 Nov , do.o• se•t!to.4 otititt the company sent here to tins toe, 1 wi:l be I VUti 1 , 1 tun, them u..t." A little child, boldly braving such a form dab; • array, was a most interesting speaacle ; bur the cur fident tone in which this address was spoken, nr, ; increased the ridicule Arad opposition. The his.-s became more general, and the cry of—" Kembir," " Amble," more loud. Mr. KMIEC at length appeared; and, as soon as the tumult had subsided, spoke as follows Gellti ilo 011—The success of Miss Muehe, at •e,ee.l pro. tincial theativs, ciacouraged her mends to hope that .he hod merit enut•gh to subm't her pretensions to that trlsmill, in which your' lodgment was to decide—(iw knot...) I.,dnos and Gentlemen--It d, not the wish of the prnprnr us elks theatre to pieta upon you any species of entertainment that does nut meet your pedal apprAition."-.4 Louder ) Mr Kaslat.a resunting— o The drama% laws, the drama's patrons cite " . 4 We hope, howeter, that, e. the play has proceeded so far, you will allow Misr Mudiu to hood, the character." " flu! No-!" was vociferate I from various parts of the house. After a long pause, Mr. hi casts concluded.— •• Potisps, whe❑ you are informed that, after this alight, Miss Mime will be wit.,draan front the stage, you will pectiic her to euiielude This concluding passage apperred to have ap peased the audience, and Miss Mut,' c came for ward, but only to experience a more deter mined opposition. She wired, and Mr. Isquotav presenting himself, informed the House, that Miss SLAIL 6 would, with their permission, finish the charadler. Miss SEARLE accordingly appeared, but in succeeding to the part, she succeeded to the same treatment. The audience were so completely out of humour, they wished to hear no more of the piece ; and, alter a few hurried scenes upon the stage, and an incessant clamour on the part of the audience, the curtain dropped, and closed Miss Muose's pritspeds on a London Theatre. After this result, we have no hesitation to assert, that many years must pass away before a similar attempt is made upon the London stage. Had Miss Moots failed from the want of as much merit as is compati ble withher.years,anotherinfont,more happily endow ed, might hope foe success; but this is not the case. Miss Montt is a wondetful child ; het conception cf the character was just ; she had all the requisite playfulness, and entered completely into the spirit of the scene, We did not conceive it possible that a child of her years could effect• so much, and we think it very improbable; that a child of even more years, could appfoach her excellence. What then was the cause of her failure ? A cause founded in the very constitution of human nature, which must for ever operate against Miss Meuie, and every other infant under similar circumstances. Without delusion, there is no interest; and if delu sion be effeded, the human mind is shocked at the, unnatural exhibititor of Aluthty, an old man, and Beletee, a fine ycning man, making love to a lint child, and that child affeding the passions and th coquetry of a grown girl. It is a disgusting ex hibition ; and if our feelings revolt from it in Mid Peggy, how much more must they be hurt, ss.t we to see her in the Wit.v, Cliserly, and tithe characters of mature age? Independent of ever other consideration, we- rejoioe, for the sake morality, that the -attempt of SatuiJay night di not succeed; and that nb similar attempt ev can succeed befisre a London audience. • the same time, if the Ailing Manager of C vent-Garden Thcatre thought tit, as several of Papers have asserted, to exto:, in pi ivate, Miss uie'spetformance, and to outrage our •eelingto public, with such an exhibition, he ought to haw brought her f o rward with every pus advents Mrs. AT Kiss or Miss Tvriell ought to have beent Aliikei of the :tight, and this little child aught to have been contrasted with the iue 63ure of Hamorori, with a plume of three upright o•tri feathers in her head, the whole constituting a fi seven feet high.'
