That you shall the Ideyor and Council tress,
And all that lends distinction to • place.

A part we'll pnint—let P—y take tbs reel

Before Nompuber's long-espect.d day.
When domiteee to All :taint. go and pray.
When all the Council rid] remained unehasedi
And 'rip 0 ambitious scheinee were unarranimd.

And ever an loon in quarrel. los, ;

Alt I now Iseis worthy parties " ride the roast."
Of acme old &tows we'll tat a hurried man ;
But riot with scuadal—that Is not our plan.
And first the Mayor—• niaglstraie indmid I
A churchman he in name, bat not In mead

Who Woe. write and fip for alerting gold:
Twat his ambition—'twas hie eager ears

Oh I hen is vine who though a omits be seems,
Yet is already ei•gfity In his dreams ;
Gin him the Manse, sivi you will quickly see
How well ss Mayor hied rule both you aad m• :
A quiet, simple MAO he's always been;
He swam no harm, but be is very swam
From business bes retired, but not from view ;
At Council witting' Mill he plays " the Jew
Iltee gained a fortune, p'rape he sand his sea
By intermittent days of frugal hash ;
Preps 'twee sand by new Hepatic pills,
By selling Istep, or perhaps by squills.
If men in oomfort like our friend would lin
They'd ever scrape, but not a scasp„wonld give.

But see, here comes • man who like the Mayor.
Presents a face as model (candied) ea hie were;

The ANATC/II Tee tTRICALeI --The Pned-oe which
attend' the Weymouth Amateur Drainatie Sashay
seems to be more nurked every time its members appear
helms the public. Not only do the amateurs themselves
improve eaah titue in their acting, and add fresh laurels
to those already gained, but the public show their
approbation of the efforta of the amateurs to please
and aloes, by giving that eneonragenonst, Wis., =ceded
house., which u best calculated to pucks them persevere
more than ever in the path marked out. On no pre
vies, occasion has the trucceas of the society been mote
striking than that manifested on Tuesday ensuing, when
the performance was hocoured by the presence and
patronage of one of our borough members, It. Brooks,
Esq , and family, and the spacious Aasembly•rooto of
the Royal Hotel was crowded with • delighted
audience. The entertainment commented with the
thrilling deems ri " The Miser of Shoreditch."
In stage phraseology it is designated as being exceedingly,
" heavy," end is rarely undertaken by masteries, but
the manner in which it wsa played redounded greatly to
the credit of the %meteor I)ramatie Society in Lat., it
might be said with truth thst amateurs could not have
acted better. The dreams, too, were esoellent, .ad In
keeping with the steatite supposed to take place in the
play. Of counts the principal character in the piece is
the mien, which was entrusted to Mr. Thledder, and
only one thing can be said of him, and that is that
be did it welL His riding passion for the glittering
coin, the Hinge of conscience at what coat be became
it, and his death scene, were most strikingly
Calsos:sld a
rated, and frequently he ems awarded with the
applause of the audience. *. Hassell, Gs &Sipa%
a gipsy chief, bad a most diMmilt part to
perform, but in spite of this sequitted himself to the
satisfaction of all present. Mr. William, as usual, proved
very effective. He bore the pert of Toby Taper, the
miser's servant, and most comically did los exhibit Edges
if the abort diet system laid down for him to adopt by
his roaster. Evelyn Heartwell (Mr. Santo) had • &rood
part, to which beprid full justice; whilst Mr. ('. Jeffery,
as Oliver Dalton, carried out the villain's part to per.
faction. Mr. W. Jelf•ry bore the pert of Thnothy
Tapran, a travelling ticker, with his weal comic
ability, and was frequently spplasded. Caleb
Covey, the host of the Old Tankard, Wei personified
by Mr. Naldrett, with guar and ability. Mr.
CotkreU did well se Sir Milford Welborn, and
Mr. H. fitaiqr, as Sir Thomas Overton, ellettioed the
dignity of a magistrate to perfection. Mr. Mortimer
acted Black Will's part admirably. Tbe part of Mshel,
the gips'', was acted with much feeling by Mr.
Greener, and in the Nowt, in which the is supposed to
die she fairly brought the "house down." The pert of
Constance we rendered •ith good taste by " Miss"
Cygnet, whilst Mr. Chalker, aswee
good. Between this play and the farce of "The Spectre
Bridegroom" Ponta were sang hy Mr. Mortimer and Mr.
Williams, the termer in a sentimeetal end the latter in
emesie siren. Both were merest, but the apple:me
whieltrireeted Mr. Williams sme Man adores. The
principal characters in the fame w sffe ere Mr. C. Jry,
Mr. I ...all, Mr. W. Jeffery, arid Mr. Mueller, who
each did the:r part ia a meaner really deserving of
credit, arid the comic character of the play kept the
andieace in ountintud berets of laughter.
