The tragic play of Phar►* was last night repre-
sented to an overflowing house. Mr. You's°, as
Rolla, was inimitable ; his address to the soldiery
was given with great point and effect ; his perform..
mice of this character we think his chef d'entre.
The character of Alonzo derived a principal share
of its interest from the judicious acting of its
representative, Mr. Course. tlis delivery of the
passages which reprobated io bold and sarcastic
terms the cruel and oppressive conduct of Pizarro
And his followers, was spirited and energetic.—
Mr. Tin M was impressive as O,ozemF,o, and re.
ceived his meed of approbation. Mrs. W. Warr,
as Core, faithfully depicted the love of an anxious
mother and endearing wife : this Lady, in soft and
pathetic tragedy, has no compeer on the stage. The
vest of the performers acted with great spirit, and
the certain fell amidst shouts of applause.

CONANT-IA RDEN.
Previous to the commencement of The Beggar's
Opera.last evening. Mr. Cawnot came forward
anitstated, that Miss PATON had been for several
hours labouring under such ve►y severe indisposi-
tion. that her medical friends bad given it as their
opinion that she ought not to attempt appearing
before her kind patrons that evening ; but that
Miss PATON, anxious to prevent any disappoint-
meet. and to NM what she conceived to be
her defy, had determined to sustain her part in
the opera, as she felt snored that the indulgence
mid .liberality invariably displayed by the au-
dience in cases of a similar description could
not be withheld from her. When she made her
appearance as Polly she was greeted with loud
applause; her vocal powers betrayed no evidence of
indispoaitiow, though she looked pale, and seemed
to move as if under the influence of languor and
weakness. Her songs were encored by many of the
audience, but a more considerate feeling pervaded
the majority, and Miss PATON was saved from this
unnecessary ezertion.—The new grand redo-drama
of Ali Packs went off with brilliant effect, and was
received with decided approbation. The scenery,
which so essentially contributes to the success of
productions of this description. is finished in a must
beautiful and vivid style. The house was very
well attended.
