COVENT GARDEN•

Mr. Moevores excellent Comedy of Staid se
Pi,iugh, was performed, last nigh', for the tart
time this season. The principal mvelty in the per-
formance, was Mr. Mai.virs, for the first time, in
the part of Bib Ifendv, which was a chaste, lively,
and interesting performance. In the ploughing
scene he was admirahle, and danced with infinite
grace. Mr. Met vIN 's performance cannot be called
.wEking ; it is nature in 'her genuine colours. The
witch& Caniedy was admirably supported, and re-
ceived the most wili.itinded applause. O'Kurt's
farce of p.,,,,g lip*, followed ; Mr. FAVICITT
displayed much humour in one scene. On the
whole. it went off very moody. The house was
crowded.
