Capabilities are now generally known mad admired,
so that nothing need be said of this particular per-
formance, except that he was encored in three
songs, " Had I a heart"—" Ah Y tore n pair"—
sad " Loves young dream." Miss CAILIW and
Miss Porn: sung well iii the music assigned to
the two heroines. Miss Porn was encored in
" Thou eanst not boast of fortune's store," which
was simply and very effectively given. We cannot
se fairly congratulate her on her last song, and the
heavy cadence with which she encumbered it.
Miss CaiteW's best effort was ~ Adieu, thou dreary
pile," which gave her an opportunity for display-
ingher science to advantage. But the wonder of
wonders is the little Miss FISHER, who enacted the
Jew Isaac. The difficulty of imagining her suita-
bility entirely vanished in the delight of hearing
het. She enters into all the waggery and incidents
of the part, points the dialogue, inspirits the action
as perfectly *sir she were twenty years old instead of
being a mere 'child. The variety and vivacity 01
huMour are perfectly astonishing in a little bein
of an age so distant from maturity. She ke.

notice of her peculiar powers. It is where •Isoar

out for repetition with concurring applause from
all parts of a very crooded home.

This theatre possesses a complete and very effective
company. In addition to its former attractions, it
has now to boast of the powerful assistance of the
talents of Miss P. GLOVER, who made so success-
ful a debut this season et Drury-lane in the chare6.'
ter of Juliet. The friends of this young lady have
acted wisely in placing her at one of the miner
theatres—it is the road through which all the great
performers, both of the past and present ages, have
attained the summit of excellence. She will thereby
acquire the necessary familiarity with the stage, and
a proper confidence in her own abilities. Already
she is evidently much improved, and will no doubt
in the next season realise those high hopes which her
first appearance has excited.
A new melo.drame, in three acts, has been got up
et this theatre, entitled The Fortunes of Nigel. It '
is (minded upon the historical transactions of the
reign of Ring JAMES 1., and revives all the recol-
lections of that romantic and eventful period. In
this piece Miss P. Gums enacted the part of
Margaret Raunsay with extretue judgment and feel-
ing. The house was very numerously *Retitled.

than usually brilliant, were concluded before tee '
o'clock, and the gardens were cleared completely'
by half past eleven.
Too much credit cannot be given to the proprie.
tors for their exertions to contribute to the public-
amusement. They have already redeemed the,
pledge which they gave at the commeucenieutat

Amongst the fashionables we perceived the
Duchess of Richmond and family, the Lord Ad-

who with his wife left home on Monday morning to
go to some place in the neighbourhood on business,
leaving their servant girl, A. Worthy, in charge
of the house. During their absence, WATSON pre•
railed on the girl to elope with him, and assist in
committing the robbery. The owner of the house
