The most crowded *whence ever amembled id

Irction, was on the evening of 'nitride,' attracted
thither, in the first in.tinev. in "wait-Witte ih the
entertainment so invarsobly all'u'ded by the comic
performances of our celebrated and distinguished
antitehrs-oand, in the second, lb reward the meri-
torious services of Mr. FAILLIY. Sorue two yellow
since we had great pleasure in noticing the excel-
lence with which the Copper Captain and Leos
were sustain-d; antrat present wr should have little
more to do than to repe.t the admiration we then
expressed, had tint the success of their represents-
lives on that occasion been considerably heightened
by a studious mention of the respective characters
in The interval. The conning and trickish habit*
of Michael litre:, his 'fantastic follies. and the
ludicrous perplexities in which his vanity and in-
ward littleness involve him, require all that. skill
and judgment con do, to render the colcoeshical
dupe an object of any importance; and yet so ini-
mitably did Colonel BERKELEY hteud and qualify
the peculiar humour of the Copper Captain with
the polished manners of the gentleman, that there
was nothing. for the most critical to desire, or
the most famidiosis to object to. Throoghont the
evening the applause which . marked his hap-
piest effoita was moat enthusiastic. The duped
end doping I eon was no less creditably perform-
ed by Captain AUGUSTUS BERKELEY. who as-
sumed the diagoise of folly so %two ly, and asserted
the rights of the husband with so manly a hearing,
that the contrast elicited the warmest testimonies of
approval. Mr. (hues. as usual, very eccentric;
Major DAWKINS appeareatas the Oid 'Woman, se-
emitted by Mr. Cousin; and very comical old
women they were. Caeafogo was given by FAR.
*LET in his best manner, and that is saying enough
fur the 'access of any character he undertaken.
The ladies of the comedy were very respectably se::
presented; but we must particularly notice the
Astilattia of Miss SeIITRIIOII. whose appearance o
Nr boards we have hitheeto had no opportunity of
Mentioning. Ike tstifisnia was certainly very cle-
ver; but weshould prefer, as we do in-all inttances,
the display of her talents in characters of more
feminine interest. The amusements of the evening
closed with The Follies of a Day, and seldom have
we been more gratified than by the spirit which
pervaded the entire performance. Colonel BERKE.
LEY enacted Casing Alotistima for the first time, and
so excellently that we hope soon again to witness it.
Major D•WKINS. in :our °Onion, never stspearea

Gardener. Mrs. Comsat', Mrs. WQVLDI, and-
MOH SMITHSON. as " the. pretty Page," were nisch
applauded. The receipts of the house, we learn,
