CAULFIELD to the ,Public in the •Charader of Bilogel' at this Theatre. We whit this gentleman had kept to the part of Hamlet,' in which he displayed great merit, till he became more accustomed to the Stage. The pathos and elevation of tragic sentiments give energy to :the deportment, or possess the mind so much, as o render i deportment an object of subordinate con sideration. But in Comedy the demeanour is more likely to attran attention ; and it isalways ex peeted to be easy, if not graceful. Capt. CAULFIELD was not wanting in a proper conception of the part ; and if, spirit were the only requisi te, he would have repeesenteci it very well. His s pirit, however, was not. under the regula tion of judgment, but "was a kind of wild im. petuoSity that,hurried him through the part, and nude allits various situations appear the same. His of ion .was by no means recommended by ease or grace. He twisted his body about in a kind of gawky negligence, that did not mark the Man of l'ashion, or the Man of the Town. hanger is a sort of Town-Rake, of which we have richv few, examples, but the prevailing feature of the part is drawn from life, and the change of manners has not banished it like the character of Foppingtsn, but it is still understood, and has at least a fixed dia. rafter on the stage. Spirit, however, has always a strong influence upon the 'audience, and, iherefore, Capt. CAULFIELD excited much ipplause, though 'we cannot think that it W:l5 :the doe 'tribute to any prominent excellence. Mrs. H. joHrtsTorr, why we know nor, was put into the part of Clarinda, instead of Miss MARRIOT. Mrs. H. Joutistoti is an improving young aaress, but Clarinda is far above her stand. ard, Instead of the well-bred ease, and spirit of a Woman of Fashion, she gave us the giggling gaiety of a Country Hoyden. The House was very well attended. ANTIENT MUSIC. Great Room, Kini;'s 7 - hea re.

Mrs. BILL INGTON was unavoidably absent, from indispoSition, mid Mrs. HAKR.I:;O N, who has not sung in public for some time past, came forward, we understand, by desire of 'the Diretiors, at an hour's notice,' and without any previous re. hearsal she sang " Pious Orgies,''' a Duet with Mr. BARTLshIAN, the beautiful Glee of 14 0 Nanny," harmonized by Mr. HARRISON, and the introduelion to " the Horse and his Rider," in a very capital style, and / received that degree of ap. plause, and marked resped, which her talents and charafter entitle her to. • FIR LION andIiAaTLEMAN exerted themselves very successfully, and partiettlarly enraptured the' audience in " God Save the King,": which was in. troduced unexpectedly, and peiformed as a Duet , and Chorus.
