This theatre was not very well filled last night—

formed here last Digest. The part of the " unitiii-
taied inimitable" Falstaff, by Mr. YATES. from the
Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, being his second ap-
pearance on these board.. Considering the extreme
difficulty of the character, and the number of
failures in attempts to perform it of late years, we
believe we might say, without incurring the impu-
tation of flattery, that Mr. YATES'S re-appearance
was successful in the most extensive sense of the
word. When the scene shifted, and first discovered
him reposing oil a sofa in the palace, his dress,
look, and movinnents produced an instant imprer-
sion in his favour, a Nell was manifested iii a spon-
taneous burst of applause before he tittered a word.
Every sentence he delivered strengthened the feel-
Mg, and before the termination of the scene, he
seemed securely seated in the good graces of the
house : if his portly person, ruddy face, and joyous
aspect had faithfully embodied the idea of living
the most easy, careless, luxurious life—not less dist
every tone and ioflexion of voice, every variation of
expression in the countenance, signify the actor was
thoroughly imbued wtth ite spirit of self-satis-
faction, humour, mirth, and ridicule which charac-
terised the jolly Knight. Indeed i:se delivery,of
one or two passages gave almost immediate eissurs
mice of Mr. YATES'S capability to sustain, with
credit, the task he had undertaken. The vet, soul
of sensuality was infused into the recitation of the
passage, " and is not my hostess of the tavern a
most sweet wench ?" The mixture of good reso-
lution trod invincibly vicious habit in the viseech

good opinion of his audience, and was greeted with
constant repetitions of applause. If we found any
thing to censure in him, it sans that his voice sounded
too juvenile, and was frequently pitched too high,
which was attended with the unpleasant effect of
noel:hoes* and harshness. Mr. MACRRADY played
Hotspur for the first time, and received a very great
share of spplause. We must, however, confess
that this Gentleman did net place before us that
Hotspur our imagination had bodied forth from
reading Stimeseeatte. Ungracious as tire opinion
may be, it is our opinion that Mr. MACREADT did
not look the gallant, generous, open-hearted Hurry
Percy. ll'henever daringness of spirit, amid im-
petuosity of temper, unmixed wills other feelings,
were to be expressed, the expression of them was
excellent—but where these qualities were coin-
pounded with others of a different description, Mr.
MACREADY sometimes failed; mid of this we would
quote as ens example, his apology to the King for
the refueal of the prisoners. Hotspur, the child of
impulse, the creature of passion, would iirver have
described • fop with such cold precision of foamier,
sorb nice regularity of tones, as Mr. MAC:READY
dill. Justice, however, requires us to declare, that
the performance was hailed with frequent and ex-
tensive approbation. Mr. C. Kt:SUMS:acted Prince

Lord Trig iiiii °nth war uuanimou.ly called to the
Chair.

Ili. Lordship opened the business of the day by
stating to the Meeting the object of the visit of
the Archbishop of Jerusalem to this country. It
was to procure the melons of promoting the ditlission
of Christian Knowledge among the population of
Syria and Damascus, the greater portion of whom
were without the use of the Holy Scriptures. The
pions man to whom he alluded hail visited Komi/
and Paris, but he was in one respect sorry to say.
without succeeding in the object of his benevolent
mission—he said in one respect sorry, becsuse he
could not iii soother, for it proyirlegnially titl.orrled
the people of England an opportunity which had
never occurred before under such favourable rms.
piers of cordially co-operattog in tke dillosiou of
the Holy Scriptures among lii immense population
who were ignorant of them, and consequently far
behind other parts of the world ill civilization and
pure morality. It was left for England w the, cave
to set the example, and he trusted the result of the
Meeting would be most favourable in the dieserni-
nation of the pious purposes of the Archbishop.
Mr. PRATT rose to state the circumstances under
which the Archbishop became known to the Grit-
denten concerned in the nn of 'the Holy
Scriptures. They had heard of his arrival iii towo,
and of the object of Isis mission —a deputstion im-
mediately wa:ted upon him, soil lie at once gaiiied
their esteem and confidence by the direct and combol
answers he gave to the 1111111ef011i iptestions they felt
it necessary to put to him. A stranger. arriving
here without notice or introchictioo. was a person
calculated at fist to receive that full confidence to
which, under other circumstances, lie only be en-
titled, but there was still iu the norinier and inge-
nuousness of this good man the strongest rennin to
induce a full bedlam his statements and inteutimis.
The very bet of a man's undertaking so expensive
and pei duos a journey, and only requiring iii re-
turn the printiog mateisals for disseminating the
Holy Scriptures, was a prima facie reo,an to place
credence in his assertions. Besides this, the
Alinotier of France hail iniroduced him to the
French Ambassador in Loudon, io a manlier which
could leave no doubt of his being the identical
person whom hr represented himself to be. The
Archllishop, rn company with Mr. ()wen and Alr.
Lee, who were now present, hail undertaken a
journey to Oxford for the purpose of examining the
Oriental Manuscripts in that University, and point-
ing out the versions best tale ulated for circulation
in Syria. The particulars of that journey, which
some of his friends who were present would state,
were must favourable for the Archbishop, and led
to the strongest opinion of his piety sod rapacity
for distributing the holy Scriptures. The wily rea-
son to imagine that the Archbishop might nut be as
desirous as should be wished to disseminate the holy
Scriptures, suggested itself from the circumstance
of his being supposed to belong to the Roman
Catholic religion—a religious which hail out *hewn
the same zeal as the Protestant in disseminating die
Word of God without human ante or comment.—
But the fact was, the tenets of die Archbishop
differed in many parts from those of the Roman
Catholics—for instance, lie acknowledged the
su-
premacy of the Pope, but lie denied his interference
in the election of their Patriarchs in Syria, or rather
it was not the practice to consult upon the Papal
See upon these elections, but merely to apprise the
Pope of the result. The Roman Catholics were,
it was understood, about to give the Archbishop
some assistance—it was thought more advisable nut
to connect the mode of assistuisce which this Alert-
ing would adopt with theirs, but to leave each to
take its own mode to promote the views of the Arch-
bishop. The Syrian Cum 000 i o tee had already pro-
cured a subscription of 430/. for this purpose, and
bail this tttttt Mug presented the Archbishop with
luta. towards the repayment of the prisonal ex-
proses lie st have incurred in the course of his
journey. It was must gratifying also to "dote, that
Air. (;lymer, the lunprietur of the Columbian
Printing Press, had presented one of his presses
(value ton/ ) to the Archbishop as his contribution
towards his benevolent ohject.—felppluesse.)
Mr. OWEN stated, that he had accompiiiiied the
Archbishop to the University of Oxford. and had
had on the journey repeated opport ties of
nb-
sersing his unaffected piety, the simplicity of his
and benevolence of his disposition. Of his
critiiial knowledge of Oriental literature, they had
abundant proof iu the Bodleian Library—a proof
which was very conclusive of his being a high cle-
rical cliar,ctrr, for on others in the country from
a hick he came cultivated such studies. lie turned
over the unique collet: of Oriental manuscripts
in the Library with the greatest attention, and
pointed out immediately the difference in the 'eve.

sliewed him to be a critical schulxr. Ile selected

lation ainoutitiog to a million of persons—the Syriac

latter being their vernacular language. From
what could be collected of the religious sentiments
of the Archbishop. he might be rather said to be
in communion with, than its subjection to. the
Papal See. Th.y elected their own Bishops. and
these their own Patriarchs, without consulting the
Pope, or receiving his recommendation; they
merely co tttttt unicated to him the result of their
election. Mr. Owen then expatiated, at some
length, on what struck him as being the providen-
tial circumstance of the arrival of such a character
in this country, and the benefit which biblical lit,
rature was likely to receive from

in their attempts to board; but her how-pit awl
foremast being shut away, and the Itopili-t irstel
threatening her with immediate destruction tt she
did not surrender, she struck her colours. Oti the

wounded, while the loss tustatsied by the Royalt..%
only amounted to four killed and 110 wounded
