A scorn of Bi vulgate, rascals, reasways,"

wits delivered Wlll extraordinary force. It was. •
roust aoin.atrd place of declamation. We never
*AK so great an effect produced by these Itlite•—•
becalm cc have hitherto heard them uttered when
the iirevoiot exertions of the acto► had occasioned
considerable degree of exhaustion. Mr. MAC•
READY !ppuke the soliloquies most felicitously. He
“ppeared to feel, with the utmost intenseness, the
sentiments which he delivered ; thev did not seem
to drop merely 1. the tongue—the countenance
declared that they burst from the heart. The
short soldequy, after the murder of Niveg
henry, was distinguished by the must acute dia.-
cilinitirtion—that which occurs before the inter.
view with Ludy Anne was admirably pointed, espe-
cially where hicheird declare., that •• he can smile,
slid murder while he smilcs"—but, perhaps one of
the greate►t spectuielis of excellence to this branch
of the 5:1, which the stage has lately seen, was
Mr. MACREADY'S delivery of Richard's soliloquy
immediately after the departure of the Mayor and
Aldermen. The exultation of successful ausbatiou
—of that ambition, which seeks—

" A Crows, the blest reward of ever-daring whirls,"
war gloriously described. The whole performance
war, indeed, worthy of the British stage in its
first days—the audience appreciated it ju►tly, and
the applause was immense. The minor characters
trete well tilled. Mr. EGERTON, as Henry; Mr.
TERRY, as Buckingham; Mr. A siwri-r, as Rich-
mond; and Mr. CONNOR, as Sir W. Brandon,
!flaw' with ability. Mrs. Faticre, as the ()meets,
exhibited much feeling—aud Lady dame was well
sustained by Mrs. YATES. Mr. ATKINS, who sup-
ported the character of the Lord Mayor, was treated
with as little ceremony as his namesake, who at
present fills the civic chair. The moment he appear.
rd, the inmates of the gallery set op an universal
shout of " Fire!" " Marder I" which was fol.
lowed by a burst of laughter from every pert of the
house.
The audience was very numerous.

Tae BRITISH Pans of Monday contained the
following paragraph:—

"The late Duke ed'Norfolk was Lord Lieutenant of the
West Riding of Yorkshire. His Grate was removed from the
Aire for having given "The Sovereignty of the People," as
a masr, at a patine dinner, at the Crown and Anchor Ta-
vern. 'The office was then conferred on Carl Fitzwilliam,
and in Mr. Fox's Administration thetinke of Norfolk in-
sisted upon Wag restored to it, but Earl Filzwilliam con-
tended that the oases was hereditary in his family, ■nd
should ant have been eves away out of it. His Lotilship
prevailed, sad has continued to bold it to the present time."
—There is nu error in this statement, although an
unintentional one, which we are anxious to correct.
To any person acquainted with the Constitution
it must be obvious, that the epithet hereditary
cannot strictly apply to the office of Lord Lieu-
tenant, which is ■n appointment held at the will
of the Crown. The Noble Earl, therefore, nei-
ther did nor could contend that it was here-
ditary its his leanly. Neither did it occur to
the writer, who inadvertently oiled it. that it would
he construed strictly by any of bin readers. All
that he meant or could have meant was, that
the office was not new in the family, and that the
Noble End could trace it to the possession of se-
veral of his ancestors, a circumstance, surely, which
must have operated in his-favour, where there was
a question about removing him, merely to make
way for another.
