DRURY:LANE THEATRE.

The interesting Comedy of Denf and Thim3 was
last night performed at this Theatre, to as full and
fashionable an audience as xe recollea to Live
witnessed at any part of the season. This little
drama possesses many beauties: without ai-ezling the
canting whine of sentiment, so frequent in many of
our modern Plays, it awakens our best feehni.;, hr
a thousand simple and natural touches. The
dumb eloquence of Miss Dc Cast?, in
of Harantourt, was never more aurasftive than
last night. Her eyes beamed with intelligence and
sensibility ; the generous feelings of her heart were
forcibly expressed iby the varied emotion, her
fine animated countenance, and produced at: effect,
beyond the power of language to describe. M.
WIOUGHTuteS. Dadeinont is one of his best per.
formances ; he pourtrays, in a masterly style,
restless agitations which guilt is doomed tofeel,
even when most successful. Mrs. MoursrAssk
Mariam's, was highly interesting. She was in five
voice, and gave the song with hen u,ual taste a. 4
sweetness.

TUNBRIDGE IVELLS.-OcT . 1.

wtvatourn, OCT. 1.

The Rev. Dr. O'Nfaa• preached yesterday an
excellent Sermon is Universal Benevolence. He
explained. with great eloquence, the relation which
the fridlk and private affeftions bear to each other,
and their use in the mural system. He invethed,
tith peculiar energy, against the ser,rge philosophy
e the French deists, who propose to ere& a system
of universal philanthropy upon the ruins of the pri-
;ate affections, which 'crud kindred, friends, bene-
uSors, and the poor; thus inverting the eternal
order of nature, by violently transferring all the
lovely train of social affefhons from our relatives
and friends, to distant and unknown myriads;
whilst, under these vague terms of attachment to,
and of advancing, the general good, the yraftice of
every debasing vice finds a shelter, and the perpetra-
tion of every horrid crime a subterfuge.
We wish our young ecclesiastics would rouse
themselves, and shake off that mental languor which
oppresses them in the pulpit, and spew themselves
is earnest. Sacred eloquence is certainly or tins
coanfry feeble and unimpressive; no other excellence
can supply the want of animation. That sweet
charm, that celestial unNion, which Christian oratory
demands, this gentleman possesses in an eminent
degree : " His lips are touched with the live coal
from off the altar." The Karr° was very attentive,
and stood for nearly the whole of the sermon (which
we never observed before), and expressed his high
approbation to Earl Uxearoos, and others; while
the Queen and Faineants, and the whole au-
dience, were melted into tears.

In our hasty description of the Royal Fete, which
took place on Saturday, we omitted to mention that
toe royal tables on board the Queen Charlotte and
Augusta yachts were decorated with nearly the
same superb emblematical devices as at the late fete
at the Royal Hotel, but mach increased in splen-
dour and magnificence.
