COVENT-GARDEN I'HE,4TRE. List night ■ new tragedy was prndueoil for the fine tune on the London boards. called Virginias ; or. the Liberation of Rowe. This play was °rig,. utlly tir"right out at Glasgow. and the . high 1,1)1,m -b:thou which it there experienced (iring repeated re preventations, induced the 11:11171gMr of this lionae to tiailvplasit it to a more genial "oil. The experi. meta we. attended with the moat ample suceess, which, we feel confident, will be a source of gratifi vaiiiiii lo all our readers, when they are informi'd that the author, Mr. SHERIDAN KNOWLES, is a relative (... the late Mr. SHERIDAN. a name which must ever be dear to British literature and eloquence. The principal characters were represented as fol. low Appiss nalidius Mr. Anson . . Virginia' Mr. MACRIRDT. hairs Mr. C. K EMBLZ. Claudius Mr. Comly OR. Niceties Umtata:. Mr. TIRRT. Nnrivetorius ..

The tragedy is founded on those well-known cir cumstances in Roman history which led to the over throw of the Decemvirate, hut with that occasional varillion, and that invention of others, which are justifi , :d by the example of the first dramatic writers. The story opens at the point of time when dipping has been re-elected to office, and closes with his destruction. Virginias, discovering the existence of a mutual passion between his daughter and /edit's, affiances them to each other, and im mediately after, in company with his intended son in-law, sets out to meet the foes of the Republic. Skeins Dentatus is sent nfter them by the chief Decemvir, and assassinated by his creatures, in con sequence of his hostility to the tyrants. While Virginia's is boiling with indignation at the dis covery of this foul deed, he is summoned to Rome (where the interveniag events recorded in history have takes place), to defend his daughter from infamy sad ruin. He flies and protects her honour by the secnflee of her life. The %re:duets of the effort, however, unseats his to, and he for some time presents an example of what has been considered the most dreadful spectacle to the mom of human suffering—that of mistiness produced by lbe weight of calamity. In the bright of his fury and mental alienati (((( s. he rushes into the prison to which the revolution in affairs had consigned the author of his wrongs— rietnands his daughter, at his bands--pounces on m--drags hiss off in his grasp, and strangles him. 'llse last scene discovers the hapless pa rent brooding over his lifeless prey, unconsci ous of the presence of his friends and relatives ; and it is isot till the mourning /cifirs presents the urn to. him which contains his Virginia's mortal remains, that recollection returns, and reason HOUTIN her away. Restored remembrance brings her train of bitter keliegs to his tortured heart, and in ao agony of sorrow he throws himself into slue anus of hisdeughter's affianced husband, and the play concludes. This plot, it will be perceived, bus much of that simplicity which runs through the excellent works of our elder dramatists, which characterises one of the best tragic productions of the modern day, and which the ancient critics con fetti' to be obsoletely essential to perfection in this species of writing. The incidents have the moat intimate connexion and depeodance nn one am,ther. mod every event contributes something to the progress of the fable and the workmg out of the catastrophe. The chief characters are strongly drawn, and their differences very well marked. The Prii;itnents, in almost every instance, just, appropri ate, and tt ue to nature, are frequently distingushed by a flow of true passion and tenderness, or the hunts of a rich genius and a truly poetical mind. The diction is perfectly free of all affectation sod overwrought attempts to strike and produce tffrct by mere sound. It is perspicuous and easy, and often elevated by the addition of beautiful and expressive imagery. Almost every scene supplies situations highly affecting. Some of those in the but acts are most fearful and terrific. We might instance that in which the distracted Virginias con fronts the imprisoned tyrant, menaces him with destruction, and after the heart-sickening pause, stud deadly suspense which frenzy allows, flies on, and hurries him off to execute his purpose. The drama, in short, abounded in the qualities proper to awake the tear of pity and sympathy, or the thrill of fear sod horror, sod was accordingly sitneesed; from beginning to end, by the audience, with the deepest feelings of interest and anxiety.— Great justice was done to the excellencies of the piece in the performance. Mr. MACREADT'S Vir giffirs was one of the most vigorous, nervous, powerful pieces of actin, we have ever beheld. We think the stage affords no parallel to his picture of madness: in the prison scene, to which we have before adverted, it was actually appalling. It was a subject of regret that a great degree of hoarseness interfered. particularly towards the conclusion, with Mr. C. KEMBLE'S delivery of a part which his countenance and manner proved he had so well conceived. Mr. Anaurc's representation of Ap piss Claudius, was correct and judicious. MISS FOOTE played Virginia, who is a model of what woman ought to be—innocent, gentle, lovely in mind not less than person, with • pleasiog softness, and sometimes with touches of ten derness sod impassioned f•-liug, which held bath a promise of powers a' yet little ceded into exercise. Mrs. FAUcIT Stied SeiCia thrombi) , and spiritedly. Her appeal to the multitude against Appins' decision was a tine specimen of vehement anal imlignant elocution. In the course of the per formance a very great number of passages elicited warm proofs of admiration. At the fall of the cur tail' the applause was DOI 1, and the" tragedy was given out for repetition to-morrow (this) night amidst acclamations. The Prologue was spoken by Miss S. BOOTH. Tile Epilogue by Mies Baurrox. Sir WALTER SCOTT travelled at the rote of ten miles ao hour on his return from L lon to Scot.

Mr. lisantSoN, the Hon. Secretary, thee' read the Report of the Directors fur the I slit year. The Report, which was aide red volinnition-, alluded to the efforts of the Directors to have the wholesale system of blood and carnage carried on by the Slave Trade declared by tl►e law of nations ■ piratical crime, and regretted that such a course had not been adopted by the Allied Powers at the Congress of Aix la Chapelle. Still, however, they thought that it ought to he se declared towards British subjects found engaged in the treffic. The Report then narrated a versety of se-tent:es iu which it was clear thin this detestable iv:rifle was still car red on under the Spaniels, ['t•rtuguese, and Dutch flags, as well as by French subjects; Hod under circumstances of the most resulting cruelty. It also referred to the variety of legal enactments made to put down the crime, and stated many cogeut reasons chewing the necessity of their revi sion in many parts, to give then► the necessary tfiect in the colonies. The Report made an Immersible mention of the conduct of many British Naval Officer', who used the means intrusted to th e m with great efficacy to seize contraband vessel.— amoug them was Sir George Collier, who had the naval command on the coast of Africa. The Directors, in touching upon the mode of trial re sorted to for the punishment of utleuders, expressed a hope that some merits could he devised to secure a fair and impartial trial on the spot, without brilig ing the offenders before a Specie! Commission in this country. It also gave an elaborate description of the promising state of the settlement of Sierra Leone, and reviewed the meusures taken by the Coded States of America to abolish the Slave Trade. The Report, in conclusion, earnestly en treated them to augment the funds, which were now lower than they were on any former occasion. Mr. PANToN Cotto6T moved the thanks of the Meeting to the Directors, whose praise was, he said, above all eulogy. Lord CALTHOSPE, in moving that Lords Comp ton, Jocelyn, rod Mr. Huskisson, be added to the list of Vice-Presidents, said that their well-known character for active benevolence and the posse►sion of sterling: worth, ensured to the Insritutruis that they would not roily be ornamental but useful additions to it* official prOMOttl Lord COSIPToN, in returning thanks for this compliment, assured the Society of his most active co-operation. England. his Lordship observed, owed a heavy debt to Africa, which he trusted the benevolent exertions of this Institution would yet repay.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WleiteaFoace., in moving that Sir George Collier be elected an Honorary Life Governor, took occasion to praise its the highest terms the services of that ;salient Officer, wisose conduct on the coast of Africa, during two successive M 11501114 had been most useful and exemplary.—(l-lear, hear.)—The least that they could do in return was to manifest to Sir George not only their high sense of his excelleut conduct, but also their sympathy for the painful situetion which lie held, for that situ:own must indeed he 'willful to his feeling mint , which so incessantly reproved lien to sights so repugnant ►o humanity, and bier, under circum stances often entailing upon him great bodily suf fering. Their Royal Chairman web fully acquitted , ed with the able assistance the Institution received from Sir G.

Never did they more went men of activity and prudence to conduct their great Cause in the situation in which it was placed. His Royal !Nimes', lie was persuaded, would continue to exercise all his means in promoting their object to put down that guilty comuierce. which still un happily subsided in a considerable degree. His Noble Friend had well said that Eughsod owed this to Africa. They ought never forget, that as she had so long set the godly example. and been foremost in pursuing this detestable traffic. so she ought to be the first in presenting the example of active repentauce to those States which lied follow ed her in en heavy a career of aggravated crime.— (Hears hear./—The countenance and protection of so distinguished a 'smote...af the Royal Family, would have the best effect upon the character of the Inslitution..—(Hear.)

The thinks of the Meeting were then given to Mr. Harrison. the Hon. Secretary, to whose inertia both Mr. Wilberforce and the Royal Chairing') successively bore the most liendsome testimony. Mr. HAftll.llnt4, in remising thanks, referred to two communications which he lied itctived since the Report read that day had been framed ; one contained a long and uselatiersoly account of ti.e progress of the slave trade ti► the island of Guade loupe, notwithstanding the French prohibitory laws ; sod the other was a letter from Mr. Prince Hoare. stating, that there, weft every rea►on to be lieve that 5001. would be realized for the liistitn lion, by the publication of the life of the late Mi.

Among them was one which evinced an extraurdinary disposition to litigation. It was an action to recover GM. Hs. 84. the amount of a bill of exchange. A tender had been made, but there was a dispute at the time between the parties about ►he eight-pence. and the hi!l w4ll tint taken up. The Defendant pleaded a lull tender, as his mes senger had (kit. to pay the bill. On the coher hand, it was contended that the messenger ',ever took the mousy not of his pocket to offer it, sod upon this very nice point was the cause to have SW nue.

He admitted that the late Foreign Eii:istment Act did nut comprehend the present case, inasmuch as it was ante rior to the passing of that law. The emir JUSTICE ruled that the objection was well taken, sod therefore directed the Plaintiff to be nonsuited. TIM LIME L. WILLIAM BURN.

The Defendant neither appeared personally oor by counsel. The case proved in evidence was in substance this : The Defendant resided in Fludyer-street, Westminster, and the prosecutor, Mr. Lorraine, a young Gentleman of for tune, applied to him to procure a commission in the army. The Defendant stated that he hail two cornelciea on sale, the one in a regiment of heavy, and the other of light dragoons. The prosecutor preferred the latter, and the price stipulated by the defendant was 1,200 guineas. By the regulations of the %Yee-office, the price of such a commission was limited to 700 guineas. The commission alluded to was in the 10th Light Dragoons, of which the Defendant was not the agent. The Defendant, in pursuance of the contract, stipulated that the prosecutor should immediately pay down 9001. which the former did accordingly, the defendant giving him two re ceipts, one for 700 puttees, which be stated was to he trans mitted to the Dukeof York, and the other for the balance, to be amounted for on demand, as expressed in the written acknowledgment. It turned out, in the result, that the prosecutor was completely defrauded of his money, and was never appointed to the commission which be bad expected to procure. There being no defence, the Jury under the Learned Judge's direction, found the Defendant TEIF.DALE r. W. J. CLEMENT, ESQ.
