We understood that (Isis Gentle man, some none since, had left this count r y, for Italy, wills the intention of grafting some Italian grace. on his English style. If the report were true, we are sorry that he travelled without deriv ing any advantage front his visit to the great school of ususic. We slid not perceive an atom of improvement in his style—we remarked no alter ation in the management of his voice—hut, in hie voice itself we noted a considerable daft relict., his upper times not being so full, clear, and melodious, ma they formerly were. In variety and depth of tone, Mr. PYRE undoubtedly excels his predeces sor, Mr. SINCLAIR—but, its sweetness, the loner gentlemais clearly has the advantage. Mr. Pima, in his execution of the original airs, scarcely rose above mediocrity. It doe* not, however, follow, that he will um, in other characters, be most effi cient. It is to be oblerved, that the music attached tis the part, war expressly composed to suit Mr. SINCLAIR . * powers—and it its soot to he expected, that Mr. fens, with a voice essentially different, could import to it the same degree of feeling and expressiou, which Mr. SINCLAiR. Isis peculiar ta lents having been consulted, was accustomed to display. 111 the second act, Mr. Pent introduced the beautiful air, 11 When thou art absent, charm ing :said," which he sang tastefully. His recep tion, though not mithusiastic, was auticieistly en coansging. Mfg. YATES made her second appear ance ins this stage as the representative of the gipsy prophetess, Meg Merrilies. The excellence of Mrs. EGNIATON, in this character, was still fresh and green to the remembrance of the audience--and it is no trifling matter to overcome the prejudices which such a remembrance engenders. Mrs. YATES did, however, overcome throes ; and those who most ad mired Mrs. Ectgaeox. acknowledged that her sue. cargo/ entered deeply lute the spirit of the chow. ter, and pourtrayed it with great excellence. It is a diameter sari genesis; and, as it has no prototype. from which a lesson for its performance might be taken, must be played from the conception and feel. Mg of the actress. To this circumstance we attribute massy touches, wholly new, with reference to the performances we have seen. which were observable in Mrs. YATIS'S picture of Meg Plerrilien. She was, its several instances, bitter and satirical, where we have been accustomed to ossuary forcibly ex postulatory other words, she introduced the style of blr. Kean, where we have known that of Mr. KsusLs to have been adopted. This remark applies more particularly to her inter view with Giusti* and Dirk Hasteraiek. in the cavern. We derived pleasure from each mode— but, we confess, that Mrs. YATU's idea appeared to us the more correct. It is mare sutural that the Gipsy, in the presence of those who had forced her into iniquity, and who knew her as well as she knew them, would have recourse to the tone of biting taunt rather then to that of threat and com mand. Through the whole of the chasacter—in the dracular,_ its the passionate, mod its the pathe tic parts—Mrs. Vases exhibited much ability. She was eminently successful in that melancholy passage, where the Cipsy describes the willows, under which she had so often sung to Harry Ber. tram the airs of other days, and then isruceeds to speak of her own dissolution. The °illy fault we perceived in her performance was, one or two flights into the regions of tragic rant, quite in.. compatible with the character and situation of " the Gipsy Vagrant." Mr. Lisros's Dominic Sampsnn, which we have witnessed a down times, made us laugh as much as ever. Dandle Dia moat and Dirk Hatteraiek, though new sketches, were as amusing in the hands of Mr. ESIFSY and Mr. TOE ELY, as full-domes characters would have been, if intrusted to performers of less merit. Mr. MitioVT's Colonel Mongering was easy, un aided, mid geistleniatil.ke. la the romance of Aladdin. which followed, Miss F.

MU. HUNT A N ,UK. DOW LING. Last morning' Mr. Hunt was brought to Row.strect Police. office, under a warrant issued by Mr. Riroir un Tuesday, to 11110Wer lu a charge of assault upon Mr. Dowling,. who, it will be recollected, horsewhipped hint on the holdings at the late Weotmiuster EICII* • . Mr. Bailie having called upon Mr Dowling to state his charge, be said, the simple iteeuemi ~,, which he had to mike against Mr Hunt was, that he hail shark kim on the prr. ceding day in St. Clement's Church-yard. lie wished to explain, 1w , the usaimee Lt which the rircaiii•tance . . . . . . . tuOit place He hut heels informed noose days bark, that it was Alr.

Mr. D. again declined the proposed exhibition, and Mr. 11. struck him • slight blow on the face, whirls knocked off his spectacles. " D—u you," continued Mr. H. will you re. seat that ?"—" Not in the way you would wish, Mr. li." repled Mr. D.; ° and even if 1 were dieposed so far to de grade myself, the iftlirruiiy of being shortsighted would prevent me from engaging in so nuequal a cootest.'• Mr. D. them walked away, but returned, and asked for and ob tained Mr. Heat's address, with a view to the present pro ceeding. Mr. A. Lydon, who was in Mr. Clement's shop when the affair took place, corroborated tin' statement of Mr. D. as to the abusive language of Mr. Hunt, and Mr. Dowling say int that he would not degrade himself by resenting any thing which came from a person so well known. He said be saw Mr. Hoist strike Mr Dawbutt one blow, and thought he at: tempted to strike him oftener; but he could Out speak posi tively to this. lu croft-examination by Mr. Hue?, be said he was • re porter, and had repo►ted the account which appeared in the Eve ' g Papers, and which was selling about by the horn buys that morning. This account Mr Hunt piouoaneed grossly INCOCTCCi—inasmuch as he bad never collared Mr. Dueling, our did he strike 'dui more tlta• one blow, and that a slight our, rather with a view to make him resent it than otherwise ; beat Dowling had acted mist cowardly, and had refused to fight. There were other parts of the state ment which were equally incorrect. Mr. Dowling said he had much more reason to complain of the report than %Ir. Hunt. Mr. Hoot." This is a proof of the sort of fellows who act as reporters." Mr. Dowling said, that he haul heard Mr. Hoist had also termed reporter, awd bad written an account slating that he bad knocked Mr. Dowling down, and performed other sets of heroism, will. • view of having Isis account of the Iran.- action inserted in the papers. If this were the case, Mr. Hunt certainly did nut seem very well qualified for the office of • reporter any more than the person to whom he was object iag. Mr. Hunt did not deny Ibis charge; and awns being call ed tau for his defence, admitted that Mr. Dowlines account was in a great measure correct, although exaggerated. The cause of the conduct imputed to him mole out of the 'rosi ness which bad occurred in Curent-ganlen. Mr. Dowling had stated that be had Worshipped bins, and •it had been so stated in every paper in the kingdom►—whereas Mr. Dowl ing had only given him one or two blows when his back was turned. He should, however, be able to inset the case ■t the proper tribnual, and should prove that Mr. Lee, the High Constable, was the penult who gave Mr. Dowling so. lice of his approach. Mr. Dowling." That is not true." Mr. Hunt added,that the irritation of his mind, f r om w h a t bad happened at Covent-garden, had iiiduccil him to deter mine to give this bully an opport 'y of finishing his ►orse whipping, if be thought it; but be had, iii • cowardly ma•. ner, refused to fight.
