Looking dis passionately on all the transactions of the evening, we feel that a fair trial was not given to the Pantomime; and, beyond that, we cannot help saying, that ju.- lice was not done to those who manage the affairs of the theatre.

COVENT-GA !WEN. The comedy of Twelfth Night was revived last night, though it scarcely bears any relation except the name. Dr. JOHNSON truly remarks, that the ennellision of this play wants credibility, and there fore fails to coovey the itistroction required in the drama ; but tl gli ibis be allowed, and that the' general contexture of the plot bears little affinity to real lifer yet in the progress of the story and the minor i nc id en t., the legitimate end of lighter thea trical composition is observed—the holding up the meaner vices to ridicule and contempt—the detect ing and exposing the disagreeable foibles of human stature.

SHAKSPEARE'II moral joAticr has betel impeached for directing the *haft of shirr against o character of mere natural fatuity, iii Sir Andrew Agneeheek ; but perhaps this charge is not well founded, for if we examine the springs of our feelings, we shall probably acknowledge that Sir Andrew Agneeherk is not laughed at on the *loge for *bat he iv, but for what he affects to b., sisal is not. Mere want or inferiority of intel lect is in itself certainly entitled to commiseration; but when the personification of stupidity and dui. ne-s aspires to be the merry companion and the bun ricant—when the downright dolt and idiot wishes to be thought the accomplished gentleman and a•lolot—when the very quintescence of cowardice apes after ilia . 1 jealousy iu hollow," the " sud denness iii quarrel" of the wither, he is beyond all question fair game for the satirist. I-le has him ►rif stepiwd from beneath the shield that would have afforded him protection. SHAKSPEARI knew that slfectation existed in fools, as well as in other . mortals, asnl desiring to exhibit it under that variety, wits obliged to take it as he found it, and represent the voile combination. If the subject of the passion sometimes excite no other feeling but melancholy or pity, the fault is to be traced to human stature, and nut to its eopyer. The artifice by which Viola gains access and confidence to the Dyke. and finally wills his heart, strougly resembles that of Rosalind with Orlando, in As 100 Like It. The ladies in both ploys (with their favour he it said)—Olivia and Vida is this, Rosalind and Celia in the other, give away their hearts with equal rea diness, and almost on find sight. The mistakes, too, that occur from the exact likeness of Sebastian and Viola, remind us of those iu the comedy of ' Errors, arising from that of the two brothers. But such coincidences in character and fable could hardly he avoided by a writer who took an universal range through the moral world. Mr. W. FARBER Fel formed the part of Sir Andrew Agnerheek, for the lint time, and succeeded in exhibiting a very correct semblance of the being whose ideas move with the downeto , of the baud* of • clock ; whose words and thoughts follow in the track pointed out by any oils vibe with the obedience of a pack-florae; whose actions, mental and bodily, emanate from the will of another ; an animated puppet. He dressed and looked the character well.
