THE TOWER GHOST.
The peaceable inhabitants of the Tower have
spin been disturbed by the nocturnal intrusion of
the attach-celebrated ghost. At a late honr, s few
evenings since, the two sentinels on duty at that
pert of the Tower where the spiritual intruder ge-
nerally apneas, were Alarmed by the visit Of a
large Week Cali, oamPiugly in high condition. and
fit for the London market; but from the unseason.
ablenera of the hour, it was thought necessary by
one of the mitioris to put him to rest. Jul com-
pliance with the ordets given to men on that its-
hen. be was *best to discharge the coo/temp of his
musket into his fillet, but was restrained .by his
conirade, whO being in.mther a more elevated po-
sition,

terions appearance; and the watchman belonging
to the Board of Ordnance wee iiummontel to hold
a touncit of war, wherein it was decreed that the
aericaut of the maim guard rhombi be male ac-
quainted with the presence of this
,visitor with a
calf's head, who was in the mean time ainn.isig
himself by running up and dOWn the walls' be-
tween the legs of the soldiery and the watchmen,
defying all their efforts to grapple with him.
The aerjearit with a file of men having arrived,
he demouded a parley, and took occasion to inform
his ghostship that he was no
:gentleman. of which
it is supposed he was perfectly aware. es he did not
attempt to deny it, bet confirmed to cut Ins capers
with the utmost ountehalemet, which induced the
serjeent to give order's for the men to preeent arms
at the spot which Master Boa mewed to consider
as his home. This mandate had the desired effect,
and he vanished into air.
There now remains little doubt but that this
appearance is produced by the magic lantern, the
prime mover of which remains undiscovered; we
had hoped that the consequences of a former ex-
ebouLfive years since, by.the death of a
Wither belonging to the Veteran Battalion, proved
to him the wickedness of eirdt:avouring thus to
pl sy upon the weak feeling of any fellow-creatuee.
and it is more than inoliable an equally tragic
termination would.have attended this (we trust last)
exploit. but for the cool courage of the watchmeu
and soldiers upon whom the attempt was made.

COVINT-G,ARDSN.
The Proprietors have commenced the season by
departing from loug-established castom. Formerly,
many weeks were suffered to eloper, when the theatre
had opened, before recourse we. had to notrilty.
The town was allowed to fill with those fashionable

opened, and expiated to general view. Now.
however. a different course has been tanned.
Novelty succeeds novelty with unprecedented rapi-
dity—and the experiment, evidently has
been crowned with perfect success. The admire-
I,l.comedy of 7'he School fur Seestdal--o comedy,
which, for wit, may rank with the hest of Coo-
sitivit's, end, decency sod propriety b-lug con.
milted, must be placed still higher—was last night
perfoenietl—.Mr. W. FAWN (lost of the Dublin
thntre) appearing. for the first time on these
broads, a" Sir Peter •',task. Fescue has. for • con-
enterable tithe. been busy in proclaiming the greet
relents of thus Gentlemen. *o highly hese they
berm eulogised. that we begun. unwillingly. to
imagine, slat he was indebted more to the feel-
ings of private frientiiihiti,' that. to the dictates
of unprejudiced judgment, for much of the praise
which was bestowed on him. In the outset.
however. we must observe. that. before Mr. FAR-
RCN had concluded his first scene, our doubts
on this point were removed, and we felt that his
merits had not been over-mud. To look a chit.
meter well is one great step towards begetting the
favourable opinion of en auilieuce. I.itleril, where
the appearance dors not coincide with the character
—where* inatron-lookisig lady assumes the language
and manners of youth—or where a unto, of niveisile
aspect. affects " the lean and shpts. red paidaltein,"
—however good the conception eel the part, however
judicious the acting, much of the pleasure which
would otherwise be derived from it is lost ; the dia-
logue is at variance with the aporanince of those
who deliver it—and the illusion of the "cease is
destroyed. That illusion was excellently preserved
by Mr. I. Those who have seen lion off
the stage would think it scarcely possible so young
• man could put on such an appearance of mobility
and those who have not, end who witnessed his per-
formance last night, will be led to imagism that he is
considerably advanced im life. His look, motion,
and manner, formed au excellent commentary pu
the text, and gave us a very correct idea of the
starch old bachelor. whose approach to perfect
peevishness and ill-salute was retarded by the in-
tervention of a Is noisome young wife, who leas given
his feelings 'mother direction, end excites violent
passion. where before there was more of 'Julienne's
than of spirit. Every transition of the character
was met by Mr. FANIEN with II correspondent its-
irrigation of voice, and uu appmpriate alteration of
countensuce. Ili% voice is of a very peculiar kind
—a little tinctured. we think. with a ousel tone.
which adds considerably to as comic effect, but

uess of Isis atticalation. His features are exceed-

Ounce of the osoment, joy, vexation, rage. asto.
instilment. iucredulity (all strongly comic), are
puurtrayed in his couutenance, and 1/11bs front
it. with as much celerity as the shadows in
liatquo's glass appear and disappear. Its mo-
dern days, we have not seen any representative
of Sir Petty. Teazle who could at all compete
with hips. lie happily blends, with ill the eccesi-
tricities of the character, a portion of gentleusauly
demeanour, which has tau often been sacrificed to
buffioury and grimace. His humour, dry and
caustic. assisted by one of the clearest comics:diens
that eau be imagined, gave itretigth and point, we
may my barb, to the sairteal observations or Sir
Peter, whether iutroduced fur Ilse purpose of mot-
laying his wife, or with the snore laudable object
of annoying. if not of reforming. the scandalous
coterie, by the vicious charms of whose arum she
lied been misled. We have now nientumed the
leading characteristics of this excellent actor, and
the general features of his performance. In every
acetic where he appeared. we could point out beau-
ties, tonality the favourable opinion we hate given
—but a few instances will suffice. Perhaps Sir
Peter's first interview with Sir ()liver Sarfuce was
-never more exquisitely supported. lie bratty in'-
nest joy which marked hiss approach to the friend of
his youth—the cordially of his welcome—the
pleasurable emotion which such a meeting, after an
Ossetic, of many years, elicited—were nolo:store of a

powerful and how ludicrous was the colossal, alien

Romeo's apothecary, lie requested to beer no more
upon that subject fur the present. " No," observes
Sir Oliver, " friends ought not to intioduce griev-
ances st their first suretnig." To this she answer
was a look most comically piteous. It seemed to
say. " Ali! No!! ! I see )•ua know my situ.-
tiusi—for friendship's sake, spare me!" The scene
in which Sir Peter is suddenly seised with en uxo.
rims fit, and determines " server, never, never to
quartet again !" was exquisitely acted. Herr, too,
the beauty of the scene consists in the strength and
boldness of the contrast. .Sir Peter, • in a gallant
end toying humour, delighted to head his lady
anxious to please, can refuse her nothing. He tra-
vels over the histoiy of their early courtship with
greet delight, stud forgets that hr was ever unhappy.
Determined, by some good advice, it. " make is-
SUrallee double sure," he affronts his' lady. and a
violent contentious is the consequence—rendered
more unsupportable to hien, because Lady Teusle
does not entirely lose her temper. This acme was
altogether richly humorous. It was exceedingly

part. The screen scene. in which there a r greater

cites his orders to his domestic to drive them from!
