Great confusion followed this address, which Wile nut a little augmented by the appearance nf Mr. GALE JONES, who stood up, in one of the dress-boxes, with the apparent iiitention of amusing the audience bye display of eloquence.

Two boys, b..aring an enormous placard. inscribed with she words " Be pleased to hear the piece once more I" were obliged to fly pre cipitately from the missiles that were directed sit theta. After this. the farce proceeded no dumb, thew, wlµl the content dripped a little before twelve o'clock. So rods the history of the proceedings of Saturday bight. know iug that the piece was about to be repre sented, we have hitherto abstained front giving any opinion on its merit,. We wished it to receive its life or death horn the unassisted, unbiassed voice of the public. Some of our contemporaries have adopted a contrary coat.—a n d, the play having been published, they, in strictures, had • sighs, if they pleased, to criticise it. But, we think, in delie icy and in candour, they ought to have obstemseti front exercising that right. One pally, by extravagant-encomiums on the play, raised ex pectations, which, even if it lead been patiently heard, would nut, we are convinced, have hero realised ; whilst root b er, w i t h motives that can neither be mistaken nor palliated, described it as ▪ work, wholly destitute of talent. Indeed, the latter 'tatty seemed more desirous to heap abuse on the author, than maim.* to support, by fair reason. hese, and just elucidation, the unfavourable opt moss, which they expressed of Les production.— Those who read Mr. MICIIL'a tragedy, wills a de terimesatosit to form an opinion for themselves, will meet old) massy passages of leigh poetical excel lence. Mr. Iluctres descriptions of the suhlime tool beautiful in nature, are admirably penned. Truth mid leeling breathe in every hue of them. As u descriptive poet, ha has considerable mere,— but, as u dramatic poet, very little. Ills lively Nod Gower's' mass—his rich and luxuriant imagery— would, to a poem, afford a eery great degree of : pleasure. Best, on the stage we look for action— We expect to have our passosins excited—mere de oeription, however beautiful, will never do this— asd lie who cannot do it, can never be • dramatic poet. As the tragedy is its the hands of, we believe almost eyrry retiring mats, we forbear from tog tier plot, We must, however, remark, that ;t es iisvolved in great obscurity. With respect to the principal diameters, the *naive of action is not, in all of them, suffecoeutly strong, to authorise the effects which opiwor to flow from it. This nom k applies e particularly to the character of Al ban it). !Iv, it seem+, hos been condemned to die for the murder of his wife, of which deed he is wholly • oce l ot. The evidence against him is so decisive, that he would have met the same fate were he treed before any tribunal in the world. All Naples,, with the exception of one coati, believe held guilty—and that one gaoler—the per. son who, above ull others, would be most isiclin eel to doubt his asseverations of innocence. Salan sermte says, "it is seldom that the steeled gaoler is the friend of man." But Albania's keeper, is one of the tender-hearted kind, slid suffers leissi lA eicaise- What use does he make of leis freedom Plots he employ agents to doscuver the mystery of his wife's murder I L)oes be seek to prove his in 110Critca ? .Nu such tieing. linowiesg that lie is ill notseeet of one crime, he cherishes nut that tes.

" Mr. Oldham, an eminent engraver, had lung turned his mind to discover a means of preventing the fureery of Bank motes, and he invented an engraving machine nn the princi ples of a diagonal motivu (something after the inarmer of Writing Automaton), which hap since been adopted its the Bank of Ire land. The important improve. mesa of this inaeliiiie is, that it produces a species of osll.ll mental engraving, at since compreheusable to all capacities., arid yet beyond she possibility of being imitated by any manual operations. By a rotatory motion, it is capable of nraviug treaty copper plates at the same time. His next discovery was the applicatorn of steam to the department of copper-platy printing. For this purpose a small engine of eight-lose power lois been erected under Isis direction fur the purpose of turning the priutisig presses of his Original coustruction. Ifs these presses are a feeding inactine, iii place of the accustomed prolix mode of chargiirg the plates with colour, and also • method of regisleriuo the notes, by !hid; the superiutendant, though trot it/verso, ntay ascertain the number struck off, and thus prevent the pumibility of frauds. The same steam which sets the instrument in motion is stair used iostead of charcoal braziers to heat the plates. It like. wise gives motion to so air-pump, which heats anal 'mutilates the entire of the printing establishment. It taros a paper mill and colour-machine ; the latter consists sal a tattle and cylinder; three motions are communicated to both ; the table turns slowly upon its axis, whilst the cyliuder revolves quietly on its surface, and has a lateral moSielp front side lo ride of the table in a horisontal direction. By these means a complete levigating Ara is produced, its aro part of the colour can mare unground.
