injuries. Some scenes of great power take place between the
husband and wife. Sir Wolter, struggling with con-
tending pcstions, transported with rage, sunk in
despair, overcome with tender recollections, is re-
spired to act with generosity to tho woman who, be be-
hires, has injured him. He tells her that her fitting asylum
will be with her brother in France, whither she will sail im-
mediately in a French vessel then on the coast, and bands
her a paper to prevent any interruption in embarking. This
paper she conveys by her waiting woman to her brother,
meaning to tell her husband the truth seances her btother's
escape has freed her from her oath. Sir Waller, discover-
ing this, and thinking that she is thus effecting her para-
mour's escape, in a transport of fury calls upon his servants
to pursue the fugitive. Shots are heard ; there is a cry
that he has fallen, and Lady Ere:ins falls lifeless ea the
ground. Lord Arden enters—his horse has buss
lead be is brought hack by the servants. Sir Weshrs4
he recognise each other ; and the moult may be imagined.
In the overwhelming happiness of his wife's innocence, Sir
Waller forgets all former animosities; offers his brother-in-
law his heart and his home, and engages to be responsible
for hint to the government; but Lord Arden more nobly
determines in rejoining his king in a foreign land. This
(passing over minor incidents) is an outline of the story,
which, though it involves great improbabilities, is well ail-
culated for effect, and we have seldom seen • dramatic re-
presentation produce a more intense degree of interest. The
two principal charactera, Sir Waller and Lady Eveline
Amyott, are beautifully drawn, and were admirably acted by
Mr. and Mrs. Kean. Sir Walter's noble and generous con
deuce in his wife'e purity, which remains unshaken till
it is destroyed by eirtumstancis that force conviction, make
him the object of a sympathy which is enhaneed
by :the relenting tenderness of his nature, even It
the extremity of suffering. Mr. Kean's conception of the
character was true to nature. The agony el his peados was
terrible but not exaggerated; and the exposits WIWI odd
and tenderness was often irresisilbly touching. lin. Kew
was as charming as ever. She preserves all her beauty of
face and person; all her dignity and grace; all the exquisite
modulation of her b. autiful voice; all the varied expression
of feature and of gesture, which gives so much force and
meaning to every syllable she utters. Her performance was
full of delics'e traits of nature and feeling, which at
once reached the heart of every spectator, but which are
as indescribable as they were exquisite Both Mr. and Mrs.
Kean, upon their first appearance, were welcomed with
nested peals of applause, and were greeted in a similar mea-
ner at the end of the play. The villanous old steward is a
character which has many prototypes on the stage: but it is
a telling part, and Mr. Webster made it tell excellently.
Maud, the lady's maid, who assumes the prim manners of
the Puritans about her, is a very amusing personage, and
was capitally represented by Mrs. keeley. The curtain fell
amid loud applause ; and, after the principal performers had
appeared before the curtain, there was a general call for the
author, who responded to it by bowing from a private box.
