UM DRURY- L.4.V E THEATRE. A new dramatic romance, in three acts, the maiden effort. we underrtand, of Mr. S. KESIBLE, ins kst produced at this Theatre. It is en titled Fludden Field ; and its materials are furnished by NV +Urea SCOTT'S Poem of Marmion—the fruit ful source from whu•h three other dramas had pre riun•dr emanated. The principal characters were dia. represented : Varnsime Ile If'illuis F 1.% !RLIY. P.nlillar Bing James • I'vs, Fart of Surrey PIM ELL. Friar 0 • • Siuires of ifareutois YAR•4II.II. _Wastrel Innkeeper H. Jommos. Clara M. Oaf? Mrs. W. W T. Constance Nargaret ROBIN,ION. The pitce opens with the condemnation of Con for a breach of her monastic rows. She is -.rescued from her perilous viturbon by the grnerouv , minded St. Clair—and repoys her debt of gratitude ' by giving to ht. deliverer certain viper*, by which the faith of De Wihom, mid her innocence of bay- 1 . ; t ie practised agaiost Isis lie, are proved.

The meideuts are not numerous eliough—ai.d those ishieh are introduced, might, we think, have been rendered more striking and effective. The trial iceue, with which the piece cominetices—and which, lia Mr. SCOTT'S poem, holds a very conspicuous tituation—Sis contemptible, when compared with the origitial. Mitch, too, might have been made of the reitemitre between Mamba sod the supposed • i- Sperere, which is briefly and incidentally mentioned. Ths comic characters which Mr. S. Kasitste has intiaduced. neither say nor du any thing likely to di•compose the muscles of the must tuirth.loviog ioo:.valual. Mr. OXBEHaT appear, as a trios. (A weak copy of tOtier Paol), whose humour consists on swilling huge potations of ale, in order to prevent those with whom he is in company from getting ttP4—Marmiort's two Squires make several un suc.:esslni attempts at humour, but are more at borne when they sing—and Mr. H. JOHNSTON, as ♦ Scotch inn-keeper, has an opportunity of shewing, what the town already well know, that he perfectly understands the Scottish dialect. The language of the poem has been strictly adhered to—in some in italiceS too strictly—since words have been retained in the prose dialogue, which, in the original, Mr. iturt used merely for the sake of a rhythm, or for the purpose of giving the necesrary quantity to a line. Resioicted, with respect to incident, us the vece is, we consider it rather as s grand spectacle 11.1 a drama. The processions are IHIIIICIOUS, and %&!1-arrJogett—th e banqueting scene* are displayed to the tost advantage—the decorations and 'lmams il.:rticularly the armour suits of De Wilton and _ilarmiun) are splendid—and the music, of which * great deal is introduced, is very pretty.

It seems perfectly well mode out, that, in a paroxysm of madness. the poet insulted his ducal patron, and for this and ether extravagances was confined. Romance is always interesting, but truth is still roure d lightful. Aifieri, the poet, was our evening at the house of the Prinvess Carigneni. and leaning. in one of his silent moods, against a side-board decorated with a rich tea-service of Chine, by a sudden move ment of his long loose tresses, threw down one of the cups.

When the Emperor Napoleon visited the mar bles in the Museum of the Lquvrr, along 'villa Mr. West, he observed, on looking at the bust of Hannibal, that he was the greatest man of all an tiquity—and turning briskly, added, that General Washington was the greatest of the moderns!
