LYCEUM THEAIEE.

Faaeuttaa's lively Comedy, 7/re Beaux Strata-
gem, was last night performed. Of wit, tins piece
possesses u very considsrable portion ; hut its rich-
Ile/4 in thmt dazzling quality by no means compen-
sates for the vein of libertinism whirh pervade. n—
its meretricious sentiments (semi/neuts offensive
even to those whose morality is nut or the most
fre-
tidious description), and its gross cloub.'e enteadres,
are but ill atoned for by the miraculous conver-
sion of Aimseell ; or the unhoped-for, ands we
map add, improbable virtue of Mrs. Salkn—when,
in the hour of silence and of privacy—time and plasm
conspiring—her 1. hated husband" away—she be-
holds sighing at her feet that man whom she loves—
whom she bas just depicted in all the glowing tints
of an etirawored fancy The principal characters
are, however, drawn nth such a masterly hand—
in a winner so bold and spirited—that, with all
the disadvsiitages of improbability of plot, and
immorality of sentiment, the play has kept,
and, we doubt not, ever will k.ep, a firm
footing on the stage. Mr. IVitescit performed
the character of Archer--but he is not the Archer
drawn by FARQUHARbe was light amid flippaut—
not gentlensmely. lie might be considered a clever
footman--he certainly was not the polished gent'e-
man. Mr. KNIGHT came forward, for the first
time, as Scrub. lie displayed considerable
hu-
mime ; and, when more mellowed in. the purl, wilt
doubtless sustain it with great comic effect. Mrs.
GLOVER'S performance of M►s. Sullen was very
fine—the description of her stupid, insensible
husband's drunken visitation, was sr-lieut. The
easy confidence of her scents with Thrinda, and
the cold apathy of those with Mr. Sullen, were ad-
mirable.

In the Musical Entertainment of Rosin., which
followed, Miss L KELLY made her first appear.
mire on any stage, 111 Roabllsi. She is a very young
lady, her figure genteel, and her countenance
highly interestiag. tier entrée was received with the
customary plaudits, which evidently added to the
agitation which the novelty of her situation had pro-
duced. Miss Kat.t.v. the youthful flebatante's sis-
ter, who performed the character of ultimo'
psrtitipating in the agitation of her relative, by her
presence and affectionate attention *listed her fears
and encouraged her to proceed. I-ler powers, which
at first sunk under her apprehensions, gradnilly
them.elres, as these kind attentions
rim:ore...l her to self.possession. She executed thedif-
ficult S mg, " IYbibt with village ruaids I stray,"
(1111101 was eneored,) extremely well, and displayed a
good deal of taste and science. Iler voice is rather
sweet than strong ; its upper tones, however, are
very powerful, and of considerable compass. tier
verforsisance was received with ilattenng approba-
tion. Miss IieLLT, who is a very pretty breeches
figure, sustained the rustic character of WiUFnw
with great vivacity.

The Committee apponited by the City of Lon-
don to superintend the erection of the monument in
Guildhall. to the memory of the immortal N►t.sos,
entrriained the night Honourable H. B.SEIF.IIIDAS,
and a party of his iliends„ with au elegant dinner,
on Tuesday last, at the Loudon Tavern; Alder-
wau JAMES SHAW ill the Chair. The Com-
mittee, which W4l most respectably attended, had
pr. eionsly received, in their room at Guildhall, the
in.cription for the monument, written by Mr. SHE-
RIDAN, which received their highest approbation.
They then a•ljumrued to the London Tavern, where
a social and loyal conviviality pervaded the festi-
vity of the slay. 'rhe Chairman, on giving the
health of Mr. SIMIIDAN, made a high panegvrie
all his character as a Senator cud a Patriot. which
Mr. S. rep:4A to in a !canner that gained the re-
peated plaudits of the Company.
