THE ITRES.

DRIIRV•t. NC.
Last night Got.nsmyrn's lis2ly Comedy of She
Steam to Coligurr was revived at this Theatre, to
introduce Miss DyNca sr in the charafter of 9r/s,
ilarticastle. It w..ti a chaste and lively performance.
—This Lady possesses great originality ; every
new charaaer displays new beauties in her
performance, and, let her vivacity be ever so
great, it is never shaded by coarseness. The
interest of the charaaer was encreased by the
introduaion of a simple ballad, which Miss Dus-
N sang with exquisite sweetness. It was received
with reiterated plaudits. Mr. Dowros's Mr. Hard-
t-4111r was a rich and natural performance. This
gentleman possesses so much good sense, he must
'succeed in any chat-after he undertakes. Never had
Mr. /LirJeassir's eccentricities a better representative.
The Play went olf with great eclat, The house was
crowded in every part.

LIVERPOOL.
Wednesday, the Comedy of Lorer'‘ Vow/ was
performed. The Yuwi Pt,,seiqt took his benefit on
this evening, which closed his engagement for the
present season. The house, as usual, overflowed in
every par:, and his performance was again received
with the most rapturous acclamations. The part
o: Fr-rite/4a is, perhaps, better adapted to his talents
;old appearance, than any other in his list of cha-
racters. Whatever occasional deficiencies, inevit-
ably attendant on youth and iia•sperience, may be
observed in his performance of the arduous cha-
rafters of SHAICSPLARE, it !CMS to he generally
admitted, that his representation of Frederick ap-
proAihes so nearly to perfes‘tion, that the most
lastlElous Critic can find room for nothinz but com-
mendation. In the eerla.rcieNement with his lather,
in the Third Mt, the gradual progress and climax
of passion were never more finely depisted, and the
deepest sympathy prevailed in every part of the
house.

We understand, that the Yaw,' Roscia, has re-
ceived for his fourteen nights performances at this
place, more than the enormous sum 011,5001. ; a cir-
cumstance, we believe, not to be paralleled in the
annals of theatrical profits.
We are sorry to have occasion to notice a very
reprehensible disturbance which took place dining
the performance of the evening. Mr. H
on coming forward in the character of Caw,/ Carsd,
was hissed by several persons in the pit and gallery;
and, at the same time, Mr. Keicor was loudly
called for to perform the part. However, after seve-
ril interruptions, and an apology from Mr. G R ANT,
Mr. LEWIS was suffered to finish the part ; but,
when Mr. KNIGHT .made his appearance as IfeatlN,
in the farce, he was also hissed. On this, Mr. KNIGHT
addressed the audience, and, with great candour
and good sense, explained to them the reason id his
not performing Coui.i Ca ad. He said, that he did
not by any means consider himself as making a part
of the company of performers at the Liverpool The-
atre, but was residing here merely a, manager, and,
of coarse, his occasional performances were to be
considered as merely gratuitous. In justification of
this mode of condua, lie assured them, that he had
resigned a very lucrative situation at Covent-Carden
Theatre, producing not less than 6001. a )ear, be-
cause his physicians had given it as their opinion,
that he could no longer hold the situation with safety
to his health, nor even without exposing his life to
hazard; that even his occasional appearances at
this place were always at the expence of two or
three days suffering ; and that he, therefore, found
himself obliged to restrki his performances as much
as possible. This explanation was received with
load applauses, and the entertaiument proceeded
without further interruption.

On Saturday se'nnight, the Tragedy of Ham!,t
was performed at the Newcastle Theatre, to a most
brilliant and crowded audience. The part of
Hamlet was supported
,in a capital style by Lieut.
Col. Muso v. The parts of Pidsuissa and the first
G,avc Miry were performed with great judgment
by Major musov. Lieut. GR IF F I THS was All ex-
cellent Kt.,: I and Mrs. STEPHEN KESS me e was every
thing that could be wished in Oplelia. In the After-
piece of The Itetovght Hour, Colonel Musuv per-
sonated the Marquis, and Major Mutiny displayed
much comic !tumour in the Gener,l.

On Tuesday List, Tie Revenge was peTfOtMeJ at
this Theatre, in which Col. Etc: or, of the Stafford-
eliire Militia, performed the charafter of Zang., in
a style of superior excellence. He afterwards ap-
peared in Sylvester Dagg.ervottd, to the gratification
if A numerous and splendid audience. In the farce
The Oltl lard. Licht. MILLER pc:formed the
put of Alms Hartufw, with the greatest success, and
i,eived unbounded applause.
