011111) equipage. In the statement's of individual
outrages *lnch we have seen in the Irish Papers,
, there were incidents occasionally mentioned well
calculated to cast an air id' mystery over the state
of the south of Ireland which is some minds must
have been ineffibly delightful ; and it was tin doubt
to heighten the effect-of the picture, and to add
increased te►rore to the awe which tho►e.accounts
were supposed to inspire, that a learned writer in a
Morning Ministerial Paper united in the close
bonds of Jacobin fraternity the banditti of Limerick
with the Carbonari of Nipleo. We were-assured
that the face of the country was to all military pur-
poses covered with troops ; that co-operating cordons
intersected the disturbed districts in the counties
of Litnetick, Cork, and Clare; and that a coo.
stunt intercourse was maintained between the se-
veral posts by strong picquets patrolling the roads.
Notwithstanding -these precautions, we were how-
ever assured that even within these military lines
bodies of between two and three hundred armed
men could assemble, and without any interruption
roam about the country Juristic not only the nights,
but sometimes even during the day time, and at-
tack houses in their search fur arms. These fellows
too, we were informed, were wholly unlike any
other robbers that they so far checked their
almost habitual passion for ardent liquors as to
refuse them when offered, and that their chief
contented himself with water; that they re-
funded money alien the sum offered was greater
than they thought necessary ; that they spoke
vaguely of some great project which they had
in hand and must pursue; and that one of their
chiefs becoming almost seaitimental, lamented
" with a sigh," while in the act of robbing •
gentlernau's house, that they had ever undertaken
their present nightly enterprise. Now if all those
representations be credited they must, if put to-
gether, produce ■n impression to this effect :—that
the number of persons implicated in the existing
disturbances is very considerable; that they are pur-
suing some political object of great and alarming
magnitude ; that there is established among them •
Council, or Junta, which exacts and obtains the
obedience of the rest ; that this Council has orga-
nised a system of hostility to the Government, the
means of pursuing which are so nicely calculated,
that even the amount of contribution which should
be paid by every individual has been already ascer-
tained; and finally, that the principle of obedience
is so strictly enforced that it has among a lawless
rabble of the county of Limerick superseded the love
of money and of drink. The mysteries in the case
are—the objects of the insurgents, the naineJ of
their Commanders, the seat of their Council, and
by what power of magic their numerous parties of
armed men have contrite(' to escape the übserva-
tion of the military and civil power of the country.
The acknowledgment now made in some of the Dish
Papers, that they have been deceived in the com-
munications made to them, and that many circum-
stances were greatly exaggerated, affects, we are
l►eraoaded, all the mysterious parts of the previous
accounts. A score of desperate ruffians might at
any time disturb and alarm an extensive tract of
country, and we can easily imagine how the self-in-
terest of some, the absurd love of the marvellous in
others, aided by the fears of the timid and credu-
lous, may concur in magnifying the powers and
distorting the purposes of the distutbera.

7'HEATIIES.

DRURY-LANE.

Miss BLANII, late of the Haymarket theatre,
appeared on these boards 1.4 night, in the part of
Don Giovanni. The character, it appears, was
undertaken at a very short notice, in consequence
of the indiiposition of Madame Varrats. No
apology, however, was necestairy for the performance,
winch Wad as happy to all respects as could be
wished. Miss BLAKE has so much animation and
seeming jueissance of existence as firma well for
the bitilestine of this Anglicised Itahau. Her
singing too chimes in admirably with whatever
there is of imagination or fancy in the charac-
ter and the music. In many of the sits site
must have been mistaken by the uninitiated for
Madame VIiSTILIS, from the resemblance that
exists iu the torte of their several voice*. She
was repeatedly encored, and sustained the pait
throughout with a skill and address betosid her age
and term of professiton4 experience. Mr.. BLAND
was culled on to ripest the burlesque of " Yone
Fanny has never been false she declares." which
song she gave with such touching expression as
wholly to stopeod, during its performance, the
humour designed in it, and to make the audience.
feel it in the reality of irlaiiiiire ',teethe's. The
fire-works went off with great bnllisucy, and the.
audience separated with entire satisfaction at the
amusements.

COYENT-GARDEN.

This theatre was fully and respectably attended
last night, the performances being Nam/el, and the
Circe of The Citizen. In the tragedy, Mr. lona°,
whose perfurmance of the yonthfiel and accomplish-
ed Done has long been looked upon es ills master-
piece, delighted the audience by again appearing
in that character. To point out the several ex-
cellencies of his representation would be to enn-
literate every ►triking beauty with which SHAN-
*Fumes delineation of Hamlet abounds, and
to swell this notice into an inordinately ela-
borate and lengthened critique. It must therefore
suffice to say that it es long since this melancholy,
thoughtful, hesitating, sentimental, and reflective
Prince has met with so becoming, dignified, and
efficient • representative; and that the prof:mod
attention and dtseriminating applause which it
exacted from the audience was a prond and grate-
ful tribute to its exalted merits. The character of
" the fair Ophelia" was confided to Miss M. Tata,
•rid never was the interesting delicacy, the essential
purity of that exquisitely touching creitinre of
SHAKSPEARE'S finest conception more sweetly and
faithfully pourtrayed. The innate modesty of her
manner in the conlesaion and recital to her father of
her secret interviews with Hamlet, and his declara-
tions of affection fur her, was truly charming. The
plaintive tone in which her answers to Hamlet's
denial that he had ever loved her were given,
the gracefully retiring action, and saddening ex-
pression of her drooping countenance and downcast
eye which accompanied them, gave to this passage
of her performance a character of disappointed ten-
derness and sweetly-mournful resignation, of the
deepest interest and most finished excellence. Her
speech and act' in the triad scenes were touched
with the mw► melting pathos; her singing seemed
to flow from that inspiration which springs out of
the deepest recesses of the heart overwhelmed in
the luxury of woe; and the high-wrought grace-
fulness and powerfully expressive effect of her last
attitude and exit, with her right hand pressing her
basket of flowers to her heavily-sobbing heart, and
her left hand behind her neck supporting the head
thrown buck, with the face up-turned in the fixed
game of absorbed feeling, presented a beautiful
study fur a sculptor •s a design for a stutue
of melancholy tioashires. The whole of this fits•
cinating fount' actress's performance filled the au-
dience with unmixed delight, and called down the
most rapturous expressions of approbation. Mrs.
FAuciT played the Queen with beconmig dignity
mid energy. Mr. EMERY gave the eccentricities of
the Grurr-digger in his own inimitable ►tyle of
drone'', cud broad humour; and Mr. ABBOTT
played Luerles with gentlemanly ease.

Alias MACAULAY made her appearance on Mon-
day night at the Surrey Theatre, in the character of
Eking, in the play of Pizarro, which ha• been
turned into a mrlo-drunie. Her performance of the
pia Cal crowned with the greatest success.
