Agamemnon was murdered by his wife Clytemnestra and her paramour 11:gysthus, and they ascend the throne. her son, Orestes, had been removed in early life by his sister Electra,lest he should fall a victim to the adulterous pair. Arrived at manhood, Orestes determines to revenge the death of his father, and arrives at. Argos with hiS friend Pylades. In order to de ceive lEgysthu3, and to remove his fear of the vengeance of Orestes, they bring an urn, which they state to contain the ashes of Orestes. They obtain an interview with lEgysthus, who, as welt as Clytemnestra, are sacrificed by Orestes to the manes of his murdered father. Such is the out line of the fable, as related by the Grecian Drab matists. The chief deviations from the story in the Play of last night is the total change of the character of Clytenznestra, who, instead of re joking at the death of Agamemnon, is now made to mourn for his death, to feel deep contrition, and to be anxious fur the safety of her son, lest he should fall a victim to gysthsts, who consi ders himself as not secure on the throne while Orestes is alive. Another deviation is in making Orestes kill Clytemnestra by accident in the flan-, rishing his sword as he is hastening to destroy ./Eg,ysthus. These changes from the origina l story are more suitable to modern feelingsand taste than the destruction of a mother by the hand of her son. This Play was written by the late Mr. BAILEY, a gentleman and a scholar, who died in an apo plectic fit, in a coach, as he was accompanying his wife to the King's Theatre ; and the Mana gers of this Theatre have liberally brought it for ward for the advantage of the widow. The play is well constructed, and there are some scenes which are peculiarly effective. We have a few oh jections: the introduction of the Furies, instead of the choruses, as in the ancient drama, may serve to prepare the minds for the ensuing hor rors, but their second appearance is of no use to the interest of the plot. The sword by which Agamemnon is destroyed is kept by Electra, for the purpose of its being the instrument of vvn geance on his murderer, but she delays giving it to Orestes, and consequently exposes him to the dan gerof being destroyed by the former. The dialogue in several places is too long, and rather weakens the progress and effect of the fable. We Con.. ceive that the play should have ended with the completion of poetical justice in the death of lEgysthus, only that we should lose the fine expression of contrite madness in the acting of Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE, who, however, was much too long in his pause before he deliver ed it. The language is unaffected, and the sentiments in general are animated a►►d im pressive. The acting altogether was admi rable and effective. Mr. CHAS. KEMBLE coo►- pletely embodied Orestes. Miss LACY dis tinguished herself in Electra, and BENNETT far excelled his former efforts in lEgysthus.— COOPER, always respectable, was fully so in P./lades, and Mrs. BARTLEY made full as much of Cialemnestra as the character admitted,. A Prologue, adverting to the origin of the stage, and referring to the melancholy fate of the Author, written by Mr. TAYLOR, was well spoken by Mr. COOPER; and a lively Epilogue, touching chiefly on the Joint Stock bubbles of the day, was delivered with great spirit by Mrs.G►Bs;. Report assigns the latter to Mr. JAs. There was but a scanty audience at first, but the merit of the play and that of the acting, with a consideration of the humane Motives on which it was brought forward will probably render it attractive. The scenery in which the usual skill of GRIETE was conspicuous, and the general costume, were appropriate and splen did. The play was announced for repetition by Mr. C. KEMBLE with the general and warm as sent of the audience. • BRISTOL THEATRE.-A IthOUgh MISS FOOTE'S re-appearance on our stage on Thursday was rather unex, pected, the-house has been well attended, particularly on Fri day night, the bespeak of the Clifton bachelors: the same arch ness, naivete, and simplicity in her style of acting, and the same eager kindness of the audience in applying any passage or incident that seemed to bear on her own situation are the distinguishing features of each night's performance. She played Maria Darlington on Saturday night with great spirit, anti was loudly encored in the waltz song. Her reception in this city must have been peculiarly grateful to her feelings at a moment when the public papers have been the medium of the most malignant calumnies upon her reputation. A para graph, evidently drawn up by the young man, *hose in comprehensible weakness or wickedness has procured him an unenviable notoriety, or by friends to whom he has communicated so much of recent transactions as to ena ble them to graft a mere semblance of truth on a tissue of the most atrocious and wanton falsehoods, appeared in the London papers in the early part of the week, evident ly with a view to detach from this persecuted female that portion of the public sympathy that has ameliorated the cruel situation to which his imbecility or his profligacy has reduced her, and that forms her only dependence for future subsistence. We deprecate the heartless villainy that can first make the feelings of an unfortunate woman, who has been much more sinned against than sinning, the theme of his wanton sport, and, when he has trampled upon his victim, can pursue her in order to deprive her of the world's esteem, and of the means of obtaining a future subsistence. The public will read the ex planation published by her solicitor, Mr. Gill, and will appre ciate the propriety of Miss Foote's conduct in every instance, except that of consenting, under any terms, to renew a con nection from which she could never promise herself the slight t prospect of domestic happiness.—( Bristol MereurN, April 18.) KEAN performed the part of Richard at Man chester on !Monday evening, amidst great con fusion. The opposition to the Actor was very strong throughout ; but when • - the curtain fell, he was called for by a considerable part of the audience, and after saying a few words which were inaudible, he retired with applause. f
