The Sun. — London, England, 1802-01-11 00:00:00

TO THE EDITO2 OF THE SUN. SIR; Jan. 8, 18162. F following. Critique Was .written nearly fit ' , ears_ ergo, a 0 ,then intended _for publication in a duly Paper, hut I believe it appeared in some other I readily foresee that the censure Atay be thought obsolete with regard to several particulars, complained. of, which, in the present state of our Theatrical improvements, are, for the tnost part, done away„. Yet it contains Much that iz appricable.to the present day, and if is nowise iii - iinstruttive to revive the sentiments of judicious Crities living half a century ago. With these ideas 1 4 . avail myself _of the means of offering it to your conSideration, and I do so with pleasure, -knowing full well, that you are invariably ankiotii to -reform every thing that inteiruptS the due'progress of the Histrionic Art. I am, your's, DRAMATICUS; , g Theatrical Amusements are so generally at . tended-to, , 'it must be the wish of all admirers of the Stage, to see it,,,LonduCted with elegance. amt.-pro priety; every thing which appears contrary to the costume, or the, established laws of decoruM and verisimilitude, cannot. fail to raise the indigna tion, or, at least, displease the eye,,of .a judicious Critic.,. ," The Managers of our London Theatres have no reason to complain of the want of liberal en-- couragement ; on their- part, it must be allowed, they spare no expellee, in return, to gratify -the Public by- splendid decorations, ingenious Machine ries,- and costly dresses. In the .appropriation of these however uncommon grand advantages, a .due regard should alwas be liad to., .exadness of cha racter, exhibition, and dress. Propriety of dress seems almost, as necessary as propriety --of action; otherwise the perso cation is dissimilar, the allusitisi false,, or the intended _imagery-becOrnes entirely ab surd.. On this ground I mean: to .point out some actual inconsistencies, which are .a direct opp os i t i on to common sense. The first to bey noticed 'is the want of due order and regulation in the lower de-% partment of scene-shifters (who are complimented - in-France by the genteeler name ofMaehz:x..istei),.-by whnse, - -,frequent inattention we are often presented „with cloudi hanging in a lady's dressing room, or overcasting an antichamber ; trees intermixed With disunited portions of the peristyle.; vaulted roofs unsupported ;, or a chief - commander giving hiS orders for battle from • a prison, instead of from the head of a camp ; the stop .scene not corresponding with the laterals, Under sech like circum stance* the gravity of the Drama suffers conside rably, as it will also when King Richattl'.s. Troops appear in the present uniform of the Sbliiiers in St. James's Park, with .short jackets and cocked.up hats. King Richard wears ,indeed the habiliments of his time, but Richmond is dressed ;i . /a vraie moderne; whilst the Bishop is stiffened in the re formed lawn sleeves, with trencher cap and tassel, instead of the pontifical hat, cloak, and :cassock. The Lord Mayor, it is true, figures in his own charaCter ; but the other 'attendants in the play not so.. I have seen Cardinal Wolsey With his cross pendant large enough for the back of a weather. cock. Dominick, in the Spanish Friar,* is dressed not like a friar-preacher,.but soniewhat 'of a Cor delier, whith seems the common dress appropriated to monks and friars of every denominatidny though, in fad, the fashion -befongs to no-order - at all : and a black bOmbazeen, with two yards of white gauze .for a veil, form a Nun of any sort Whatsoever. " have observed another erroneous practice in troduced in the dead march for Juliet, -I mead the use of incensories; which are not carried by the Romanists in funeral, procession, nor -is • the hOly water to be sprinkled about as it moves along ; it is contrary p the rule of a solemn dirge. -- How is it posit 4 to reconcile iVlatbeth or Hamlet, dressed iti stir,f+llliooable short chats, with the idea. of habits ; ,of . ,,ageS. so far anterior ?.--=These are, theatrical im •-prsprieties, which must not only injure the !tore :sentation,. but destroy at once the histrionic simili tude.. " Again :` it - is equally ridiculous folaehold the Adors making their entrées. and exits: through. .plaistered walls. and" wainscot panne's.; the way by double AiOors it* the bottom scene. would be more natural. It-might suit indeed the ghoits and aerial ,spirits thus to enter, better than through- the gaping nwfutliq of noisy trap-doors, as if spedres resided alw,a7 in the llowels of the earth. Were the living I W-dors c . onfined to pass the way abovementioned, thelApparitions might enter and disappear through the side scenes of walls and ,rocks very convenient ly, With propriety, according to -the vu4ar . notion of spirits ;. or otherwise . they may descend from the 'Clouds, if pralicable. .Why is the Box pre . pared and' decorated for the King on the left hand of the Spedators ? Should - it. not be on the right, ,as pra4ised -at the Foreign Theatres • c‘ To the above striaures.l shall now subjoin a few queries. Thefirst is this : We have several Dramatic Pieces wherein some wordS or short sen tences in the French language frequently -occur.— Whon these are to be deliveted by a personage in a high degree of rank,-. , or from the lips of a supposed Modern polite Gtrkletrran, would it not sound .bet ter, and be graceful, if they .were pronounced in the .righr . Aceent,'-which, tolry certain know . ledge, is not : always the case ? -,krloranee, whether assumed or -natural, may pai : ts_ bit' in low eharaders as absolutely comic, and coirletae with the intentio n • of •Author. ". The.second query is-141ince)eoin. es it that on EpgliSli Stage 'we pay . 4eater (reference to t he 'liii) . ;:ll}an our - accoutered' politer neighbours the - Fiebch, by naming.the-Ladies first in addressing the . Spectators Thdy:4lways say, Messieurs et Dames, nous.avrons &c. • • • `( The next;' and last., is in a manner ‘C o naded with the two . former. Why does an English audi ' ence, when desirous of the repetition-of a • sang: or some favourite parr, ,testify their good will by the . - French exclamation encOre? ,, as if iliere were more energy.and gi:eafer f!revaTeke - in thatlangbaggidian in our own, which Ido not admit of. When dis pleasure seiies aiditOri, John BUll. speaks 'lain and'coarse English, crying, "Of! Of! words per_ haps at first equally meant for aof ! Oaf! an old title for stupidity and dullnes ;' and these .relative brother itionosyllable6 are either of a tonsil sarcasm in mother tongue.—But, what is still -fur ther extraordinary, We'flY to the Italian to demon -strate oar applause, bellowing aloud, Bra•-oe! Bra liissinto:l Let us now take a view of flee Gallic star. The French, upon similar • occasions, are nearly as ridiculous - as. ourselves ,• instead of using their own native 44 encore, considered pethaps too vulgar wish thern,..'they' employ 'the short Latin 'monosyllable his: In coninietiding, the Italian serves their purpose, the same as with us ; but in disap_ proving they are not quite so. rough ; they , either groan o.r sigh the lengthened interjedion Ohl Oh-! which seems to indiel.ttela . mixture of pity as well as of contempt, and answers to the .Latin lroh heu!----Suppose we banish_ the word encore for ee_ paihis, which ill rv7ce mdtern'd sotinds quasi, " re_ peat it . us," and would be understood in the gal_ leries, as. well ,as by the learned pit, and politer boxes. - To be serious-4 shall conclude this jumble of incoherent remarks, by expressing a ,wish thdt every dramatic author would so contrive the di , ncui:/ffe,z4or the grand catastrophe of his „tragical plot, as not to cover the stage with dead - bodies, except it he in the finale, or last scene of his play ; v, hereby the specious representation will be supportcsl : and the curtain may drop, to leave us in the full enjoy_ meat of the prosimilitudel for it cannot be denied, that the' tarrying off stiffened, counterfeit, dead bodies, is so laughable an artifice, it is sure to'ex cite a risibility, and turn the whole • into a tragi._. comic farce. Were Ito seek, applause' in the court of :./V/eipt-mentd, Mould striftly adhere to a plan that !night -effectually prevent such gross absurdi obserVing also the ancient rules of unity in time and place, and study to remedy, as much as possible, a dull Vacuity in the 061, that iS, to speak 'plainer, an emptiness in the scene which ought al_ ways to I.)e avoided, though very - common in. many of opr plays. It is an interruption. to the buiness going on ; the Players, too, under such unwarrant able-custom, frequently abuse the limited time, dur ing which awkward suspension, the speClators either sink into langour or grow:: impatient. In order to remove this objeCtion, there . should be ,no inter mission but at the end of the aft, which is the end of the dramatic chapter." METHOD TO RENMR LINEN, SILK, Efe. WATER PROOF. ' The following cheap process is prevalent in China, for oiling Silks, Cottons, Linens, &c. which ren ders them impervious to water, supple, and free from cracking, or sticking together : Ten gallons of very old linseed, or other 'vege table oil, is to be put into an iron pot, capable' of holding twenty gallons, to preVent its boiling over; —this-is to tr.:. kept boiling on a brisk fire of coke or charcoal, for three or four hours ; and when it has boiled long enough to catch fire by the intro. duadou of a red-hot poker into it, it is to 'mitred to blaze for half an hour, when it becomes • tacky and of a greenish colour, and is rendered a 'drying varnish of a supple quality, though some what slower in drying than ordinary varnish. The Linen ) Silk, &c. is to be equally damped, not to contain a single drop of water, and dipped into the liquid, and rung ; or it may be laid on with a. brush.—A Handkerchief so dipped may be' crumpled up in the pocket, and - expanded: :again, without crack or injury. Old Oil must be used, it. is homogeneous, its component parts ate better as., similated, and it does not contain that floating mucilage to be met with inonew - Mucheare is requisite iri the process of burning . the Oil, as the blaze- will probably b e fifteen feet high, and the smell exceedingly offensive...--- - When the Oil' is sufficiently ilkornti a lid,. fastened at the end of a "pole,• is 4tP bfpcpritl , on, arid the crevices stopped.viiith cloths?vitung:crut in water, but if a single drop-of water should find its way into the hot Oil, :the pot will exp!ode with vil)lence. - 'When dipped, the Linen, &c. must be. hung to. dry, in a place having a current of fresh_ air, and free. from dust'; it maybe several days drying. When dry, it wili`rroi' smell, stick,- or crack, but will resist water, and .be of great durability. The materials for umbrellas in this ,country are prepared somewhat after this manner, but not with that degree of attention to Oil, &c. necessary to equal the produelions of China. The latest Vienna Court. Gazette announces, that the amelioration in the. Finances taking l p ace only by degrees, and the revenue expected to arise frOm it not being yet sufficient for the occasions of the State, His Majesty finds himself under the neces sity of imposing for one year more, in * States in Germany and Gallicia, an extraordinary 'contri bution upon thi profits of 'immoveable goods, on the 'dividends , received •-by Stockholders, and upon every other species of income not included in the two first classes. Those under too florin's a_year are exempted ; from too to' 300 pay V E " per cent. The scale increases'. to 15;060 florins, those who are possessed-of which income lay 20 per cent. . A Trial of a very extraordThnry nature will short. ly take place before the - Criminarrribunal of Mont. Marsan, in France. -The" Police . l'eceived. informa.:, tion, six months ago, that there were in that Depart ment some .wretches who make- iprofession of pro curing Abortion.. By the aCtivity of the Officers of Justice four of them' have been apprehended. In their possession were found a variety of instru ments, which .tliey used in, their diabolical trade ; and alsoa valiet i y o of m divines calculated to procure Abortion. Som,e doubt seems to be entertained in France; Whither,any provision of the Law is appli_ cable to this case ;' it is,.howe'ver, to be hoped, that such atrocious guilt will not escape without pu. nishment.. A widow woman who for some time had receiv_ . ed parochial assitanee at Canterbury, died on Wed- I 'nesday last when, amongst a variety of valuable articles, Zoo guineas were found i,n her chests.

The lamentable state in which the physical art stands at this day with resped to the'Venereal Dis ease, cannot be better described than it is in Dr. BELL'S Preface to_ his Treatise. He says, that " although much information may be obtained from _ two Works' just published on this complaint, as well.. as, 'some other recent ones, there is still much left for others to elucidate." He goes on and says, " such: is the effect 9f his experience and, observation,. that farther advantages are daily aecruing . from the la_. hours of individuals in this Disease, 'as well as al most every other." Here then is a confession from a candid, worthy, and respedable Surgeon, founded on " experience and observation," that " farther advantages are daily accruing frtsm the labours of individuals ;"—if so, who - can claim so gr ea t, a , portion of praie as Dr. SOLOMON, whose labours have been indefatigable,„ and who has at a gr eat eipence brought the Anti-Impetigenes to p er fec- ,tion, and into universal use and request ?.
