THEATRES. nftURY-LANF. This theatre was not very well filled last night— hut, thank Heaven ! those who visited it were most I eaceable and friendly in their demeanour. No 1:m1H-tiding divided the house—and we are un !nodded with the headache which the hideous rip. mar of die p►eceding night produced. Mrs. W. IVEsi inside tier first appearance in the character of Jose Shore. I her performance, if it did not add to, certainly I. s not detracted from, the fair fame which some of her former exertions have acquired ; 314 her soling was not equal—her study of the diameter did not stem to be complete. She had vsides.ily fixed upon the higher, more Alen', more bumrtive scenes—these were cultivated carefully at.d produced a strong effect—but those scenes, or 'whops we should rather say, 'sensor scenes, which ore ofisothrd by trgret for the past, uncrossed by the sutesterener of any being who would attempt to stay tie current I.f coidtitiois, came not. as we have , p ,"„ o w es come, bursting from the heart, and ex hibiting, even iu *deuce, the traits of a grief so pro. found, that it wonted tent words, but spoke its the elunurnre of action, in the anguish which was mark ed sod imprinted on the countenance. I i there, which are, undoubtedly," to the million," Ilse less i orm aing parts of the tragedy, Mrs. AVEs-r did not please us. There woo ouch of lassitude its her manure, but little of deep feeling.

H er ez p o siiiiminsii was excellent, and the indignant feeling of tie sincere penitent, unrwed by the rank or power of he► suitor, was expressed with much finer. The Knit with e dheiu, winch she meets with I , NOO4I seklablesse 'Heed eye," was also well sorted. Mrs. Weir's dying-scene was, however, her fittest effort. Her terror, no be holding bee abused husband, and her still greater terror, when he is shout to become the Factitive to Gieetet's vengeance—that velsgemice which site has provakedwas strongly marked. sod Was loudly cheered by the audience. Mr. RAF 'infant 'ed. the thane* 'of Hustings most satisfactorily. The scene is which Glu'eter " proves him," de. ireeed sad received getter's! applause. The patriot pinion of Hassan - Ks was here depicted with much esergc, and touch judgment. Mr. Bewoottott slid Mr. Ilot.t.ssin, as Wean' and Dumont, planed their purls respectslily.

Our readers are doubtless fonsoltar wills the stray oil which it is founded. since it is taken from dist well-known and lughly-inutoiog work "The Toles of the Genii."

Thither Abodah, accompuoieil by the disguised genius, and guarded by • goodly bawl of archers, proceeds.

Wt mean not to offer any observations on the dialogue or 111;s trine: it is, in all respects, es good as that in which isles of this description, at this jocund season, are usually told on the stage. The poetry of the songs, we must meld, though it does not lair a very high (fight, is nester, more harmonious. and more fancifid, than is generally found in productions " That five their hour, mad Ara are known so more." The overtare. by Mr. T. COOKE. is a pleasing composition. His marcher are bold said harmo. sinus—and his melo-drasautie music is varied with great judgment. The scenery is very beautiful— .° beautiful, that the moment it was unfolded to us, we recollected the strong imp►ession it made MI our minds when we first saw it. The cha racters were well supported. Mr. HARL►:Y. as FatilahriallaA, s tyrant in. and a coward oat of office, was amu•iug. Mrs. BLAND Was his Ml*. tress, the lively %entrant', and, in that character, warbled most ritlightfally some strains coniposed for her by Mr. Ker.r.y. Ahisdah was tolerably well performed by Mr. 11. KERMA. though he is not much of an attitudiriarian ; nod the Ge nies Botha!flan found in Mr. BENGOUGD a stiff, if not a dignified representative. Little Miss C. CARR performed the Hag of the Box extremely Tie piece was received with unanimous applause. COVENT-GARDEN. The first part of King Iknry the Fourth was per formed here last Digest. The part of the " unitiii taied inimitable" Falstaff, by Mr. YATES. from the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, being his second ap pearance on these board.. Considering the extreme difficulty of the character, and the number of failures in attempts to perform it of late years, we believe we might say, without incurring the impu tation of flattery, that Mr. YATES'S re-appearance was successful in the most extensive sense of the word. When the scene shifted, and first discovered him reposing oil a sofa in the palace, his dress, look, and movinnents produced an instant imprer sion in his favour, a Nell was manifested iii a spon taneous burst of applause before he tittered a word. Every sentence he delivered strengthened the feel- Mg, and before the termination of the scene, he seemed securely seated in the good graces of the house : if his portly person, ruddy face, and joyous aspect had faithfully embodied the idea of living the most easy, careless, luxurious life—not less dist every tone and ioflexion of voice, every variation of expression in the countenance, signify the actor was thoroughly imbued wtth ite spirit of self-satis faction, humour, mirth, and ridicule which charac terised the jolly Knight. Indeed i:se delivery,of one or two passages gave almost immediate eissurs mice of Mr. YATES'S capability to sustain, with credit, the task he had undertaken. The vet, soul of sensuality was infused into the recitation of the passage, " and is not my hostess of the tavern a most sweet wench ?" The mixture of good reso lution trod invincibly vicious habit in the viseech begiuning, " Oh ! thou hest a dimmable iteration, sod art indeed able to corrupt asa ," was also preserved with great felicity. The robbing Went', Sir John's lying narration of it to the Prince,—the ready and unequalled effrontery with which he eludes the direct charge of cowardice and falsehood, —the fracas with his huatess,—the vain-glorious assumption of having killed Ilutspirr,—sll the pas. sages, in short, which most strongly exhibit Faistses 'extraordinary qualitiee, were most powerfully de lineated. Not only were the written sentiments of SHAKSPRARE correctly expressed, but those little circumstances occasionally introduced into the act ing which serve to give the living portrait a fuller colouring and reality, and which at once 'hew au inventive genies, and • perfect understanding of the author. Mr. YATES grew continually in the good opinion of his audience, and was greeted with constant repetitions of applause. If we found any thing to censure in him, it sans that his voice sounded too juvenile, and was frequently pitched too high, which was attended with the unpleasant effect of noe l :hoes* and harshness. Mr. MACRRADY played Hotspur for the first time, and received a very great share of spplause. We must, however, confess that this Gentleman did net place before us t h at Hotspur our imagination had bodied forth from reading Stimeseeatte. Ungracious as tire opinion may be, it is our opinion that Mr. MACREADT did not look the gallant, generous, open-hearted Hurry Percy. ll'henever daringness of spirit, amid im petuosity of temper, unmixed wills other feelings, were to be expressed, the expression of them was excellent—but where these qualities were coin pounded with others of a different description, Mr. MACREADY sometimes failed; mid of this we would quote as ens example, his apology to the King for the refueal of the prisoners. Hotspur, the child of impulse, the creature of passion, would iirver have described • fop with such cold precision of foamier, sorb nice regularity of tones, as Mr. MAC:READY dill. Justice, however, requires us to declare, that the performance was hailed with frequent and ex tensive approbation. Mr. C. Kt:SUMS:acted Prince Henry, and Mr. EGERTON! King Henry, boils wills strong effect. Mr. Emmert 's Point deserves I ttttt oursilele mention, as doe. also Mrs. DAY EN. PORT'S lb.stess. As much of tins delightful drama as Cite refined taste of modern times permits ail audience to behold, was represented very well; il.e curtain dropped niiiiilst alw rent of applause. 17e Marriage of /*aro was announced for to-night, but salhea of applause commencing in the pit, with cries of encore, and gradually swelling to an merino., exteliding, lei part, to the boxes, brought Mr. CoNNuR forward again, who, un the tumult sub ' siding, addressed the audience as follower " Ladies and Gentlemen, " I am directed by the Management to inform you, that ►t appearing to be the plea:awe of the house that Mr.Yiteei should appearaeaio, that Gentleman will abortly repeat his performances in Tragedy sod Comedy."

TIIE dllcllBlBlloP lit jimusALEJL Yeste-day r Meeting took place at Freemasons' IND, of the tiol►ttr•ribrrs to the Num' for a...wing the Syron' Archbishop of Jerusalem io Proinotiog Christian Knowledge in Syria. by lor g a Print ing Establishment on Mount Lrh•utou. rl.O to take leave of the Archbishop preparatory to his return. At two o'clock Lord Teignnsoutli entered the rani, accompanied by :11r. Wilberforce, Mr. But terworth, end aeverul other philanthropic character'. Lord Trig iiiii °nth war uuanimou.ly called to the Chair. Ili. Lordship opened the business of the day by stating to the Meeting the object of the visit of the Archbishop of Jerusalem to this country. It was to procure the melons of promoting the ditlission of Christian Knowledge among the population of Syria and Damascus, the greater portion of whom were without the use of the Holy Scriptures. The pions man to whom he alluded hail visited Komi/ and Paris, but he was in one respect sorry to say. without succeeding in the object of his benevolent mission—he said in one respect sorry, becsuse he could not iii soother, for it proyirlegnially titl . orrled the people of England an opportunity which had never occurred before under such favourable rms. piers of cordially co-operattog in tke dillosiou of the Holy Scriptures among lii immense population who were ignorant of them, and consequently far behind other parts of the world ill civilization and pure morality. It was left for England w the, cave to set t h e example, and he trusted the result of the Meeting would be most favourable in the dieserni nation of the pious purposes of the Archbishop. Mr. PRATT rose to state the circumstances under which the Archbishop became known to the Grit denten concerned in the nn of 'the Holy Scriptures. They had heard of his arrival iii towo, and of the object of Isis mission —a deputstion im mediately wa:ted upon him, soil lie at once gaiiied their esteem and confidence by the direct and combol answers he gave to the 1111111ef011i iptestions they felt it necessary to put to him. A stranger. arriving here without notice or introchictioo. was a person calculated at fist to receive that full confidence to which, under other circumstances, lie only be en titled, but there was still iu the norinier and inge nuousness of this good man the strongest rennin to induce a full bedlam his statements and inteutimis. The very bet of a man's undertaking so expensive and pei duos a journey, and only requiring iii re turn the printiog mateisals for disseminating the Holy Scriptures, was a prima facie reo , an to place credence in his assertions. Besides this, the Alinotier of France hail iniroduced him to the French Ambassador in Loudon, io a manlier which could leave no doubt of his being the identical person whom hr represented himself to be. The Archllishop, rn company with Mr. ()wen and Alr. Lee, who were now present, hail undertaken a journey to Oxford for the purpose of examining the Oriental Manuscripts in that University, and point ing out the versions best tale ulated for circulation in Syria. The particulars of that journey, which some of his friends who were present would state, were must favourable for the Archbishop, and led to the strongest opinion of his piety sod rapacity for distributing the holy Scriptures. The wily rea son to imagine that the Archbishop might nut be as desirous as should be wished to disseminate the holy Scriptures, suggested itself from the circumstance of his being supposed to belong to the Roman Catholic religion—a religious which hail out *hewn the same zeal as the Protestant in disseminating die Word of God without human ante or comment.— But the fact was, the tenets of die Archbishop differed in many parts from those of the Roman Catholics—for instance, lie acknowledged the su premacy of the Pope, but lie denied his interference in the election of their Patriarchs in Syria, or rather it was not the practice to consult upon the Papal See upon these elections, but merely to apprise the Pope of the result. The Roman Catholics were, it was understood, about to give the Archbishop some assistance—it was thought more advisable nut to connect the mode of assistuisce which this Alert ing would adopt with theirs, but to leave each to take its own mode to promote the views of the Arch bishop. The Syrian Cum 000 i o tee had already pro cured a subscription of 430/. for this purpose, and bail this tttttt Mug presented the Archbishop with luta. towards the repayment of the prisonal ex proses lie st have incurred in the course of his journey. It was must gratifying also to "dote, that Air. (;lymer, the lunprietur of the Columbian Printing Press, had presented one of his presses (value ton/ ) to the Archbishop as his contribution towards his benevolent ohject.—felppluesse.) Mr. OWEN stated, that he had accompiiiiied the Archbishop to the University of Oxford. and had had on the journey repeated opport ties of nb sersing his unaffected piety, the simplicity of his and benevolence of his disposition. Of his critiiial knowledge of Oriental literature, they had abundant proof iu the Bodleian Library—a proof which was very conclusive of his being a high cle rical cliar,ctrr, for on others in the country from a hick he came cultivated such studies. lie turned over the unique collet: of Oriental manuscripts in the Library with the greatest attention, and pointed out immediately the difference in the 'eve. rat versions with a perspicuity and accuracy which sliewed him to be a critical schulxr. Ile selected fur the people over whom he was pastor—a popu lation ainoutitiog to a million of persons—the Syriac Version, to be printed its Arabic characters. the latter being their vernacular language. From what could be collected of the religious sentiments of the Archbishop. he might be rather said to be in communion with, than its subjection to. the Papal See. Th.y elected their own Bishops. and these their own Patriarchs, without consulting the Pope, or receiving his recommendation; they merely co tttttt unicated to him the result of their election. Mr. Owen then expatiated, at some length, on what struck him as being the providen tial circumstance of the arrival of such a character in this country, and the benefit which biblical lit , rature was likely to receive from respecting the ver,ionr, and most likely to obtain circulstion Archbishop was no waiting, mud Ins thanks for sliastieutious him.
