Peiscess's.—" Henry the Eighth" was produced
here yesterday evening, and with such success, in the opi-
nion of the management, that it was announced for repeti-
tion on Friday and Monday. We have, however, some
doubts on the subject. The part of Cardinal IValsey
was of course, filled by Mr. Macready, and well filled,
although his physical theory of the part we repast
as a fallacy. He represents the Cardinal as an
aged and very infirm man, whereas Wolsey, who was only
when he died, was, up to the time of his disgrace, after
which he disappears from the play, a hale portly priest. The
mien and aspect which aptly pourtray Cardinal Richelieu,
lan invalid, who made a commodity of his sickli-
ness, are wholly inapplicable to the impersonation
of Cardinal Wolsey. Mr. Macready, however, as
we have intimated, fulfilled his conception of the
part most ably, and his light shone all the more brightly
by reason of the darkness around. Miss Cashman's Queen
Katharine wss almost wholly wanting in dignity—the essen-
tial feature of the character. In the great trial scene—so
impressive even in the print from Marlowe, representing the
Kemble family in the play her manner was rather
that of a vixen telling her mind of some other
vixen, not minding who hears her, than the denunciation
of lofty villainy by a lofty mind, and that mind a queen's.
The dying scene war, too, essentially opea to the same objec-
tion. The malady portrayed was the querulously phrsical, not
the parting hour of a broken heart, great and noble to the
last. We never saw anything snore thoroughly vulgar than
Miss &man Cushinan's Ann Boleyn, except, pahaps, Mr.
Cooper's Henry VIII. Mr. Ryd, r filled the brief part of
the Duke of Buckingham very efficiently, and Mr. Compton
did well what he had to do as Lord Sandy:. The scenery
was very good.

TELE Cis I.:RCIS IN THE COLOMIZIE—At Cheater, on Tues-
day, an address wee delivered by the Nam of Cape Town (lie. Grey)
In behalf of the fund now being rated with tbe view of enabling his
lordship to obtain an efficient corps of they've's to accompany him
to his nowly.formed dace.e. The meeting mu well attended, and
the chair won taken by the Mayor.—Dr. Grey stated that there were
within the limits of our colonial dependencies, many miniou of souls
whom the English church, us thar natural m thee end guardian. was
softiies to perish through !oak of knowledge. Whilit the church of
England had not a single convert to boast of in Southern Afr.ca, the
followers of the Use prophet bad won over to Mahomeshmism 8,000
souls, and were making LMI converts at leant every year, and coml.
derabla numbers of those from among the professing Christian '
people. To remedy this evil, the mother church "ea now sending
forth a miwionury bishop, telling hint, at the some time, that neither
Dom existing sacteties, nor front any tali, quarter, hid mile funds to
place at Ida disposal, and appealing, through him, to the liberality of
Btlti.h Christiana for the necessary mid.
