That You. Kneeler is a wonderful boy there is no
doubt : but there are two other bins now in Lond
who have the singular merit, instead ut feathering
their own nests by their aeting, to perform their re.
spedtive parts for the sole interest and welfare of
the public at large. These are the two Mae Coes
Baer who superintend Fortune's mazy wheel. It is
needkes to observe, that the approaching rich Lot-
tery is the grand scene of aaiosi ; wherein they will
draw prizes that will induce a roar of applause from
all the lucky possessors. This pLy, in short, in
which these boys will perform with such deep con-
cern to twentv.five ilioasansl of Fonuen's Votaries,
will be brought nut in January. at the Theatre of
('oeser's Had. Every aa of it will be highly inter-
esting, and which will contain the nohle moral of
rendering many individuals n.st intreiy happy for a
night cm.y, but through the whale of their rtinai...-
iag existence.

performance certainly left no wish ungratified; 1,„.•
should we have b:en aware that the interest at
scene could be carried higher, had we nu see, 1.;
repetition of the part. Last night he was
manly and impressive. The portrait of the Poe,.
was drawn with a bolder hand, and coloured s•,
more richness and variety. Some I,:w have sii
that his voice wants modulation. They may
perhaps, presumed npon his south, as neeessari.;v
incapable of attaining perfe6lion in chi; eiseati;i
point ; but if they heard him List right their 2:6,N,
must bx all removed. His speeches all abratetkd
harmony and variety of tone. The following ad-
dress to Ztr,iikyee may serve as an example
Ti...i•• comfort then t 6or know, the sum, n

To live or die! and then he wept as 1 do.' •
The mournful pathos with which he spoke tSe
last words of the last hue was deeply afry'a•ng. rs,
his voice sunk, every accent sunk into the Ilea t,
and melted the son! to pity. The following speech,
which concludes the samc aift, gives fine soup,: r
display of his declamatory powers:

I Then be it so :—Wit.ies. ye miters of 11. aen•

Like the deep carern'd earthquake, burn bene.l.l,

These lines were given with extraordinary forte
and energy. The applause was louder, if pnssihle,
than upon Saturday night, and more frequently ex-
pressed. He was possessed of every passage and
avenue to the heart of the audience, and guided all
their passions with unlimited sway. We were too
much occupied with this extraordinary youth to do
justice to Mrs. LITCilf ittn, in Zephyrs, and Mrs.
11. Ss DDONS, in Irene. They are berth intitled to
the warmest praise. The injured and insulted
Queen could not meet a better representative
than Mrs. Lyra:firma°. Force and energy have
been her peculiar charafteri-tics ; but in Zelibrog
she proves h:rself equally intitled to the praise
of tenderne:s and feeling. The scene where
Saint discov,rs himself, and is tcrn frrln her
by the guards of 80-bare:or, dispirited fine an-
ing, and was extremely affecting. It excited much
applause. If Mrs. II Stooovs does not make
an equal impression in bore, it is the lank of the
character. and not of the Actress. She is not
obli3ed to co: tend with that variety of difficulties
and dangers which excite powerful emotion and
interest in an a ',hence. Her attachment to Selpa
partakes more of gratitude than love, and the r.air
vial to which she is exposed is between regarding
h'in, an I her duty to the tyrant her father. Po-
sessing a plowing person, sweetness, and gentleness,
sbe gave the character all the interest whico it is ca-
t able ot inspi: ing. Mr. Mt nit I's was a chi!.
and judicious representation of the loyal and faithful
subjed I but the audience have taken a lead against
Mr. CUR Y and Mr. HA &Gil AVE ill 114r4d/Olait and
which sell require extraordinary exertion to
surmount. Mr. Ha exit Ave is certainly a gentle-
man of talents; and it Mr. Mossor had not fotmerle
excited admire ion in the part, it might be suppesea
incapable of interest. The failure, therefore, of Mr.
HARGO•Ifi, is chiefly imputable to the peculiatitr
of the situation. So gieat is the impatience of the
audience to see the Iciavg Resew's, they listen to all
the early part of the piece with apathy and disgust.
The declamation of the tyrant only excites a preju-
dice against the performer. Public curiosity did not
appeat to have suffered last night any diminution.
Toe rich treat of Saturday :sign had rather wetted
the appetite. So early as two o'clock a crowd
begaa to colleft about the doors and avenues of
the Theatre; and when the hour approached fur
the op?ning of the hous,-, the pressure was equal to
that of Saturday night. To enter into a detail would.
therefore, be only to rep at the same scene. the pi:
had a dark nod dismal appearance; seal cely a :el
male had courage to venture into if. It was, sr
course, almost exclusively occupied by mins. nod
did net afford that pleasing variety which it usuahy
exhibits. It may be superfluous to add, that. in
case where puls.ie curiosity is en strongly excited.
and him/reds went away unaccrsmmodated, the
house overflowed before the rising of the curtain.
