COYEIIi-CARDEN. ,

Mr. Coot: made his first appearance this seasons,
last night, in his favourite part of Sir Perrino:
Maetrophost, in MACKLIN', admirable Ceatierty
of The Mon of the World, and attracted a most
brilliant and crowded audience. Mr. Cootie's
appearance was hailed with repeated acclamations
and cries of bravo, brand ! indeed, the applanle
commenced some minutes before he appeared,
and lusted for many after; and such was the
feeling of the house, that silence was with difficnlty
obtained. 31r. Cboatt never appeared to more
advsotage, except a hoarseiiessi which attended
him through the second and third act ; but, for
judgment, nice discrimination, and gond sense.
Mr. Coomes Sir Pertinar can never sinrins.
ed. The applause tlwanghosst was connen-
sonde with his exertions ; and when he left the
stage, in the last scene of the play, he received three
distinct rounds of applause. Mrs. Outwits played
Bray in doe absence of Mrs. MsTrocas, and
displayedi such comic humour and just concep-
tion of the part, as called forth repeated nprlausse.
Mrs. Hs JottssTON rammed her part of Lady
Rociolphn Lonalereostrt; it was not an harmed
performance—it was over-acted. Misr Nuevo.,
for the first time, played Ceastaistia, with good
effect; and the high-spirited, noble-minded Apr-
ton. was admirably supported by Mr. (7. Nassau:.
the whole p.erforinauce received reiterated plaudits.
