THEATRE.
It is a subject of regret, that the sm illness of the
I Corps, now performing here, should render it ne-i
cessary to curtail most of the Plays that are bro't I
before the public ; this was never more to be re
gretted than on Monday night in the case of "the
tYjs-fidian" —This comedy is one of Cumber
land's best performances, and there is not a scene
in it, the omission of which would not mutilate the
piece, and injure its general effect frit was how
ever curtailed in the least exceptionable manner.
Mr. Powell acquitted himself well in the char
acter of “Belcour," and Mr. Bernard performed
"M ijor O'Flaherty," in a stile whicli did credit to
his talents. Any buffoon with a coarse voice, who
•can give a roll to his tongue, may catch the brogue
and manner of a loif Irishman, but it requires a
discriminating judgment, and nice imitative pow-I
ers, to perform well the part of an Irish gentleman.
The character of "captain Dudley" did not sit
easy on Mr. Barnes, he was too constrain
ed in his manner, and there was too great a same
ness in his mode of speaking :—he was evidently'
out of his usual sphere, and to this we ascribe his
failure—However what he lost in the character of
"c iptain Dudley," he gained in that of “Virland."
Mrs. Jones acquitted herself as usual, admirably ;
well through the play, but she more particularly
excelled in the four last scenes of the 3d act, which
were extremely well performed.—Mrs. Dicken- ,
son in "Louisa Dudley," would have appeared to;
much greater advantage had she thrown a little ;
more animation into the character -The Farce|
'of "the Rival Soldiers" was feast for those who are|
lovers of mirth and humour. In Nipperkin, Mr.'
Bernard kept the house in a continual roar of :
laughter and applause.l
Sundry other sketches prepared for this day's |
paper are unavoidably delayed.

Governor Langdon's Speech:
Gentlemen of the Senate and
Gentlemen of the Hoafe of Reprefenta tires,
IN obedience to the call of my fellow citizens who
have thought proper by their free suffrages to choose
me tl,eir.chief executive magistrate for die presentl
year, I have found it incumbent onjme to accept the ;
important trust, and shall attend to tie duties of the ;
Office, with all that fidelity which its great respon
sibility demands.
I regtet that my talents are not more equal to
the station, but such as I have, shall be most faith-1
fully employed in co-operating with you to project|
and secure the freedom, independence and happi- ;
I nessof the people.l
I it is greatly to be lamented that for some years;
past our citizens have been so much divided in their
political sentiments—This makes it in some mea
sure necessary for me to declare mine.
I consider myself a republican, and have uniform
ly (as far as I have been able) from the year 1775
to this day, supported the principles of a free elec
tive government of the people, from whom all our
power and authority originate, being fully convinc
ed that a Republican Goyernm ent faithfully ad
ministered, is the strongest, the freest, and the best
that has ever yet been experienced.
. The Constitution of the United States guarantees
to each state its republican form of government ;
;and here permit me to congratulate you and the
rest of my fellow-citizens, that the general affairs
of the union are at present conducted by a wise,
virtuous and magnanimous administration, in which
I do not hesitate to say, the people may place their
utmost confidence.
When we look around, and view the unparallel
ed happiness of our country ; the civil and religious
liberty we enjoy ; agriculture, commerce and man
, ufacturesflourishing ; the free tranquility that pre
vails , the immense acquisition of territory by the
Cession of Louisiana, and the complete a: rangement
of the finances of the United States ; in short, pros
!perity appearing in every direction ; surely we
I have the greatest reason for thankfulness and grat-
I itude to the Supreme Disposer of all events; for so„
Imany inestimable blessings.
}lt would be unnecessary for me to take up your
I time in saying any thing of foreign affairs, as those
Irelations are confided to our general government ;
I —Coming as you do, gentlemen from all parts of
I the state, you must ®f course be much better ac-
Iquainted with the wants and wishes of our constit-
I uents, than lam able to point out, Should it be
I your determination to hold another session of the
I Legislature this year, of course the present would
Ibe of short duration, as little else than the imme-
I diate local prudential matters of the State, with the
{unfinished business of the last session, would claim
!your attention at this time.
I I shall only mention that the state of the Trea-
Isury will be laid before you, your wisdom will de
termine whether any and what sum of money it
I will be necessary to raise the current year. In
public as in private concerns, economy is very de
sirable, but at the same time such sums of money
should be raised, as will sufficiently answer the ex
igencies of the state.
Could I think the present session would continue
long enough,'! should urge the necessity of making
some further arrangement for establishing our mi
litia upon a more respectable footing, as I consider
it of the highest importance ; but whether this bu
siness can be taken up, with propriety, this session,
is for your determination.
I shall with pleasure concur with you in all such
acts and resolves as you may think proper to pass,
which shall appear for the safety and advantage of
the Citizens and unite with you in the best endeav
ours to harmonise the public mind, by making eve
ry exertion to promote the tranquility and liappf
ness of our Country."
