The gpplause was as loud and as frequent as through all, his former efforts. Mrs. Powat.t. was very interesting in Lady kamfolph, and BARR y. NiokE very respdtable in Glenalvoff.

The Performers did ample justice to the eharac* teas allotted them, and scarcely in any Piece have we seen so much of the strength of the Company en gaged. BRAHMA and ittct.spott gave their Sopgs in a capital style. Signora STortAcs displayed her usual ability, and Miss DAVIES sung with great sweetness- and taste. MVNDEN, FAWCRTT, EMS.
