tllh - takBl'll.ts, battirt-LANt.-i—Last night the he' traAedy "vas performed for the second time, with sue tess equal to its first representation, and to its inerits. When . ,We reflect on the difficulty of .pro. Biting a literary work of this. dais, we must applaud , the liberal encouraging; spirit (It the Public, in the present instance will, we are of opinion > be ainply rewarded, by the future labours of the Poer,• so excited and 150 rewarded. We do not approve, hoWever, Of the parade of liberalitY towards the.author, !II out by the Theatrical Managers through the )redium of -the newspapers. %Vete genius encou. taged as it ought to be by these monopolists of the dramatic market, the instance in poiut would not be so rare as to induce the parties Concern ed to boast oftheir generosity. It would be cow, mon to find talent courted, Instead of being chilled by indifference—cherished, instead of be ing repressed by contempt. • . But we suppose ire tout praise the Drury-lane Committee for their , t'xt magnificence in purchasing the play of a pour Cllrnte and the Booksellers for buying the copy-tight, and selling it at the monstrous price of tour shillings and sixpence: Miss SomartetuA was somewhat mellowed in. 'Mogen last nig :t, but still displayed many of the faults of a noviciate in the Theatric Nunnery.

But. the fact that it is the imitat:on of the most. successful Performer whoin the present day has brought forward,. that ' l utes all these violent strainings aftereffect , which please in him and diNideaie in all others. In Sir 4rchy Morsurcasin Mr. , B. was also very raelitutious, min is certainly a. great acquisition to the Theatre in a line of parts, otherwise without wren a tolerable representative.. LITERAUY FUND. The Anniversary Meeting of yesterday was well attended. It appeared that the receipts since the last Anniversary amounted' to 13594 and that there hael been paid as relief to 'applicants . 9071. l'he Duke of KrNT was in the Chair. Besides the usual toast of the Royal Patron of th e lnsti ttttion (the Prince Regent),. Sze. the Health and happiness of the Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold was drank with great applause. Mr, Fitzgerald recited some verses On the fall of Buonaparte, the connection' of which with the object of the Meeting was not very obvious', hut which it is impossible to regard with severity, 'when we reflect on the honest and friendly inten tions of the writer. One very interestingeircutn stance was connected with the evening's enter tainment, which was, that a Gentleman of the name of NewtOn, the last descendant of Sirlsaac Newton, left a considerable estate to the Society, because he thought it right that a Literary Corpo• cation. should be the ultimate heir of the greatest laf kerary men. The Duke of Kent, with much appropriate quickness, gave the united health of the first and the last of the Newtons, which was skunk with enthusiastic approbation. INTERESTING SALE.
