THE LeiTE MK. DENMAN.
Died, lately, at Newport, Isle of Wight, Mr. Den-
man, of the Haymarket and Portsmouth Theatres.
He was the son of an Officer in the Royal Navy, and
was originally intended for the same ser►ice himself,
but, in compliance with the wish of his mother, he
was placed with an eminent Bookseller; in Ro-
chester. At the expiration of his apprenticeship,
ne repaired to London, where he relinguislml hi.
former occupation for the stage, which he had long
oontemplated as the profession, which, of all others,
would yield him the greatest delight His first essay
was at Kingston, in Surrey ; while, having been no-
ticed by the Manager for some propriety in what is
technically termed, level speaking, he was soon fit to
, represent the buried Majesty of Denmark : but ano-
ther performer claiming the charafter as his right,
Mr. Denman was obliged to take the part of the
in Clog, and to give up the ghost. This, indeed,
had nearly happened in reality, for the Manager,
who played Ham/et, using a sword instead of a stage
foil, was rushing, with his accustomed ardour, to
stab the guilty King ; but, fortunately for Mr. Den-
man, he discovered his ,danger in time to avert the
catastrophe. Laying aside the dignity of his assum-
ed situation, he sprang from his chair, and, in the
greatest terror, abruptly exclaimed... 'Tis a sword!"
Hamlet instantly checked himself ; King Ciamnirou died
without being killed, and the Tragedy ended in the
highest style of merriment. In the winter of 1796,
Mr. Denman was enyiged, by Mr. Grubb, for
Drury-lane, where his first appearance was in Fai-
zard, in The Beau: Stratagem,. The principal cause
of his engagement was a new piece, called, 7be
Charity day, which had been announced for repre-
sentation at the Haymarket, but transferred to
Drury-Lane, on account of the indisposition of Mr.
Johnstone. The condemnation of this Musical E,,
tertainment, in which Mr. Denman sustained the
charaller intended for Mr. Johnstone. rendered his
stay in London of short duration. He then went to
Edinburgh, fur a year, after which he returned to
England, and engaged with the late Mr. Wilkin-
son, at York. Here he continued till the beginning
of the summer of )803, when Mr. Colman, having
seen him ail, conceived so favourably of his talents,
that he made him a liberal offer for the Haymarket,
which was accepted. He chiefly supplied the plate
of Mr. Johnstone, but the superior humour of the
Later, caused Denman to appear to disadvantage.
It has been asserted by his friends, that he did not
give to his perfia-mances that daring colouring of
which he was fully capable. on account of a certain
diffidence and modesty, which never forsook him,
even when most successful. In his private life, he
was a man of ancomm3a worth. He was distin-
guished by frankness and inflexible integrity ; ar:dhis
behaviour and condua were manly and interne
