Saturday night last, the genies of Shat-pewee
was again invoked to appease the tumalt of- tithe'
Tireatre.—fithello, by Mr. Young, and logo, blr
Mr. Cooke, were sustained with the usual ability of
those gentlemen. There is, perhaps, no play iii the
ketone, so well calculated to exhibit the powers
of tro great actors, as this of our immortal hard ;
intlepenilent of the scope which the naturist dialogue
and impassiootd eloquesice affords to talent, there
Mateo, m the competition kept up between the ac-
tor., by their being almost constantly associated in
the scene, a 'stimulus, winch insures to the au-
' diem*, that each shall do his best. The perpetua I
collision of taleut with talent, is productive of the
brightest emanations. Never was this effect more
conspicuous than upon the present occissiou ; the
dignity of Othello was increased by the energy or
Ingo ; and the energy of Ivo received addition
from the dignity of Ofiliello; there was a kind of Teti-
procid and reflective elevation, from the one to the
ether, which made each superior to himself. During.
the first three acts, all that could be done by poet
and player, was done to charm ; but after the
adiniesion of the heroes of half-price, the poet
disappeared, cud the player reinaMed only to
move his limbs mutt 'thug his attitudes. Before
we conclude our account of the Play, we must ho-
tter the Ilerdruunta of Mite Norton, which was per-
formed after leer usual manner of performing tragic
characters. Ou cmsidering the simplicity of
Uhielles wife, we were at first led to suppose that
it might possibly conic within her brie ; but the ie-
siilt lies convinced 118 that there is a greater dis-
tinction between tragic and comic simplicity than
we were at first iirchned to draw. lie lett, nature
seems to have adapted Mite Norton cal-his/tidy to
the line for which she iuteuded her ; the arch sim-
plicity of her manner, the pelisses, of her figure,
way, the very formation of her voice. Misr drawn
a circle round her performance, which does not
border upon tragedy. When she strums at the
dignified solemnity of that Muse, her attempt is by
a perpetual flown ; but the frown, after all, is the
farthest thing imaginable from solemnity ; it may
severed is distorting her pretty features, but dues
not draw them a whit nearer to the elprewsion she
intends; her indignat Mil is evidently the indignetion
of a girl ; we smile at it, instead or trembltiiir ; and
her despair is that childiah kind of extravagance,
which, even in its deepest time, we cannot avoid
inrag • g, that we could laugh her out of. We
have not eurimerated Hoist faults with any inten-
tion to prejudice this young lady in the public opi-
nion ; on the contrery„ our object is to raise her in.
that opiui"u, by muttering her to her proper IlplierSl4
We consider her powers as an actress to, he. miry
great indeed ; we only deny that they are general.
if the Managers would give inure coutrideracion.to
the force and bent of her abilities, mitt &slit Tram
obtruding her iutu tragic parts, we aremerom!ed
that she would soots acquire a degree oy.r,epufistion
and excellence in liar profession, which would
rank her among the first ornainenles of their
Theatre. It is at preseut her misfortune to
be bandied about between Comedy and Tragedy,
and to have her merits compromised between them.
Thu noise, which counneuced atter the third..act,
was much the saint as on the nil-it before; fiut
the placards were by no means so ttttttt emus :
there ware only four displayed durieg the entire
night, and those but for a moment. The uproar
was altruist exclusively confined to the lilt, where
we were sorry to see, that the system of sham-fights
was again repeated, to disturb the house more
effectually. The fourth and fifth recta of the play,
and the entire farce, were inaudible, for an
minority will always he able to prevent the
majority from enjoying a scene, unless the majo-
rity are sufficiently active to turn thin out. I% lien
the curtain dropped, the pifires, as motel, geYC,
three cheers; but, we are happy to state, it wet
confined to the pit, and, even there, only purtiully.;
although by their sham-fights they obliged ell re-
spectable females to helve that part of the house,
yetthey found the protectors of them ill-used ladies
not so ready to quit their ground, nod, we are
happy to say, some of those half-price gentry car-
ried home the iinpmseion on their fares, of the in-
dignant husband, father, and brother, which inside
them shy, anti prevented theio from giving their
usual commands of iat dawn ! and mead up! We
trust, that Saturday night's display, will iir•Prroi
every well-disposed person with the necessity of
reaisting the not cud disorderly conduct of a few
misled boys. It becomes the duty of every trades-
man Is make perticsilar inquiry into the nightfy
conduct of his apprentice nr shopmen, fur he cilia-
not enpect the lady or gentleman who has been
abused by his servant over night, to attend in the
morning at his warehouse or shop, as a purchaser
of his articles in trade. It is dideraceltil to the
British nation, that a few individuals, mil:norm to
the community at large, should be allowed, for so
many nights, to disturb the public peace, and pre-
vent the lovers of the drama from receiving that ra-
tional anitowinent which is the right of a free
people. The following were the only placards that
were perceptible :
• Nought, my lads, ab.lll make as tremble,
" Nu—not the hired Isiwt, and Ketuhle."
" The clueing Grand Jo!alee will be celebrated by a
Grand Victory over the New PriCIIII•BUICCS US P.r as. sad.

And a piece of pastebborrl, ou one side written—

These were the only miserable peodoetions of
the night, mod they met the fate they so justly
deserved. When the Pit was Alcoa two-thirds
cleared. a mean-Looking man came to the front of
the basket. and spoke as follows Gentlemen.

reception—diet of ridicule. 117 eleven o'tlnek the
house was cleared.
