qk THEATRE, .....MINIMii•• COVENT GARDEN. TheTrageiy of Zara, translated from the French, gal adapted to the English stage, by A ARCP Hitt, as represented on Saturday night at this'Theatre, the following cast of characters Muter Betty. Osman &Mean Mr. 11.1rgrave. Mr C. Karable Avestan ..... Ctatillna Mr. Chapman. Mr. Cla emont. ssmia • • • Mr. Jefterin. sirlidor ...... :ors ... • Mrs H. Sied Ja: ma Miss Marriott. This piece was revived avowedly for the purpose o r givi ig the Young Ravin, an opportunity of add ing a new laurel to those which he lies already ga tseted with so much success in the theatrical field. ;jaw Piece is borrowed from Othello, and affeds to re tain all the spirit and fire of our immortal bard without his irregularities. Love and jealousy are . e passions which it p ourtra y s. The Chief of the : a racens, and the Moor of Venice, alike own their sway, and by them are hurried to the same tragic catastrophe, the murder of the virtuous objed of their love, and all the horrors of a guilty conscience, remorse, and death. To the Young Ros, ins the un dertaking was not only a navel situation, but also ao enterprise of great danger. Zara %omits incident and variety to suit the taste of the present day. A fine, liberal. generous, and tolerant spirit pervades the sentiment ; but there is a uniformity in it ill cal tul teed for striking effen, and the laognage runs into the declamatory style. To make, therefore, ^ a great impression in Osman requires extraordinary exertions. The more doubt, agony, an 1 despair, with which the charader of Orman can be worked ip and thrown out upon the canvas, the more per fed will be the picture. There is no degree of eott ness, delicacy, or tenderness, which the love ot Ch ews for Zara does not demand. There is no pa roxysm of rage, ttentv, and despair, too great for his jealousy. It is therefore one of those charac ters which is nothing hut when is the hands of a great ator, and will always tank, ot course, accord ing to ins powers. The 'force of first impressions is a phrase become proverbial. To beget a ptepns session in the breast of the audience. to raise their minds to the dignity of the character, and, as it were, insure an interest for tha piece, are, therefore, mat ters of first rate necessity in a theatrical perform ante. We had never seen the Temps Romeo negli gee' in this particular point. His caret in Doaglao betrays an almost over studious attention to it. On Saturday night this advantage was thrown aside. There was nothing in the note of preparation to nice the tone and temper of the audience to the dig nity of the object presenting itself. The mighty Saracen, this Conqueror of the Christians, this son of glory erters from the back stage in a way not calculated to inspire the audience with a high sense of his dignity and grandeur. From thence, until the middle of the third ad, he made no impression anion the audience. It was in the scene where Zan. ' s hate is damped by the religious s aitimetit intesed by het father and brother, lie first began to ratite any interest. The passage, " Christians' Whnt ! • 80. state two ithalte4 Into*, funnel!' • • " So dish the Chrntians and my .love !" waf given with all the tender solicitude which the sentiment demands. In the fourth act aho, his agitation on opening and reading the letter was finely expressed, and crowned with universal plau dits. The remainder of the scene was also well a&ed, but from thence out, although there was no cause for censure, and much for praise, the scene wanted dignity and grandeur. His voice wanted that sweetness and variety of tone, in which the anyailsh of the :over should convey itself into the heart of the audience, and compel it to aympathis in his sorra Rs. and for the expression of great heists of passiwn, his powers are not yet sulficieatly commanding. The dying scene was managed in a peculiar way. He makal a very long pause before ne stabs himself, as if there were a struggle in his Mud, and the ad was the result cif the contest. 'lle text makes a hreak,leaving the sentence unfinished, as if hi; love were too big for utterance, and he could find no words that could express; but it is manifest from the whale preceding address, that he is deter mined, from the beginning of the passage, to put an end to his existence. His adion thioughout was extremely graceful, and his dress, which was splendid and becoming, made him appear to greater advantage, in respect of stature and proportion, than any char aster which he has yet assumed ; hut he played rather too much with his rube ; he was almost constantly catching the corner of it, then drawing it across his body and folding it over his left arm. The anion and attitude were, no doubt, grace and ;his mode of varyi..g the drapery increased the beauty of the portrait; but it does not become a fine player mere than a fine omen, to seem occu pied with his dress. The t merit of Mrs. H. Sint:roes, in Zara, also preve ed the Y0u ,, ,0 Ran Isla from standing upon the prominent ground in Milton, which he occupies in Aekmet. Zara divides the in terest of the piece with Oman, and was sustained in a style of excellence, that gave it its full tffen. Mrs. H. Swoons was extremely interesting ; she played with great delicacy arid feeling, and was accompa nied by the most ardent applause. Upon the whole, however, we think that his performance of Osman was equal to his M o sget or hi, Remora ; and if he did not excite so much applause, it is Probably because either Row° or Heerfer is more interesting than ( ales, He conceived the charader truly, and tlenigh it was nest a very striking, it was a coned likeness. Mr. HARGZAVE, in LtiiiigiParl, and Mr. Cu A SLES Kass sae, in Nrrerenn, did ample justice to their respedive char./Lana, and the piece was, upon the erhole, admirably rot op. In this, ton, we have to remark a contras! with some former efforts of the Young Rascals on which occasions, die audience ac knowledged no source of gratification but him, and turned from every thing else with indifference or disgust. The House was not crowded to the ex tremity, which we have witnessed more than orce, but the proportion of fashion was never greater. —ln the brilliant circle were, the Duchess of Go l- IN, Countess of Da a IWOUTti, Lady_ De DUN.* ATAIIVILI.E.

The eastern horizon was all in a blaze last night at ten o'clock, the effth of a fire which broke out at Bromley Mills, near Bow, in Essex. All the engines were immediately in motion, and the road along Mile End was crowded with people attraded by the 4:reAdlttl scene. The \lills had been careful ly examined at nine o'clock, and locked up in a state of apparent security. The lire is, therefore, attributed to the accidental overheating of some of the stock. The premises and property therein wete entirely consumed. The loss is very considerable. GALLANI' ACTION. COPT OP A LETTER FROM CAPTAIN H. LAMBERT, • OF HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP WILHALMINA, TO VICE- I .

Atter.the County Grand Jury wcre sworn. the Lord Chief Baron addressed them ia a very f.w words, in which he particularly adverted to the state of the county. His Lordship mentioned that, before he left the capitel, he had heard reports ni crimes of a very enormous nature having been committed in various parts of it ; but in the ca- Litdar he could perceive only the common charges of murder, burglary, &:. and expre,sed an earnest hope, that there were no others.— lUs Lordship complimented the county on the eh:t rotter of tranquillity which he had long known it to maintain, mentioning particularly that, at one cir cuit, in his owl' rt colitaion, the highest crime in the calendar was that of an attempt to steal a deal board front a yard of the Istarquis of Waterford. If however, added his Lordshir, th..t charakfter be now changed, and it the crirnes reported to have bien perpetrated had actually occurred, he had to st;tte that, in the opinion of the ablest writers upon taw, they amounted to high treason, and would be punished accordingly. - - Friday morning the three parties who con traded tor the English Loan, viz.

On Saturday s'ennight, died at Kettering, Lin, colnshire, in the prime of life, Mr. mous kr. r, jun of that place. The premature death of this young man was occasioned by his lifti. g from the ground, and carrying to a certain distance, a sack of turnip seed (upward; of three cwt.) for a trifling wager, which he resolutely performed, though not without fatally injuring himself.

Saotrday night these Sessions terminated with a gaol delivery, when a great number of persons were discharged, who had been apotehended, and against whom no Bills of Inditment had been preferred. U;wards of sixty females were discharged. chiefly unfortunate women of the town ; many were under the age of sixteen, some of whom had come from distant parts of the kingdom. Mr. Bacowis, one of the presiding Magistrates; observed, with great feeling, how trul: lamentable it was that the Legislature had mad: no provision for persons of this latter description, and the only thing the Magistrate could do, was to confine them for a certain period, and then suffer them to be thrown again upon the public streets, to resume their infamous occupation. He said it was shocking to humanity, and a disgrace to a civilised state, that so many young creatures should be cast into theguiph of ruin. He intimated his inteatiau of bringing this subjea before Parliament. Several vagrants were sentenced to iinprismtwent for various periods ; amongst whom was Sassed Wc46, the " Ksng ,be Ber.tars , " a curioas cha racter, and well known about the neighbourhood of .

This fellow had a regular system. by which he used to levy contributions upon the peiblic his custom was to accost Gentlemen in the street s with " God bless your honour, give me half ac• owni • and I won't torment you again. this year." fly this means he frequently obtained his demand, Ali this donor was relieved from further persecution for some time; and in truth the Gentleman and beggar always recognised each r,ther.
