roundvrorks of the play, in which several parts, of
a comic cast, are introduced ; among these is a Mr.

not one languid scene, nor a cartiolsnent to be de-
sired, except in the dance, which is much too long ;

with rich ease and natural vivacity by Mr. Excis-

Pre.ogue, spoken by Mr. EY Pi e, was very well re-

The House overflowed at an early hour. with a
