Denty-LANE.
Last night, the Opera of Tke Cabinet was per-
formed, with the acquisition of Mr. BA
who resumed his part of Whinsoicuto, and displayed
all his former excellence. Mr. BRAMAN was rap-
turously encored in several of his beauties" airs:--.
Signora STOR Ace was in high spirits, and gave
her songs in her happiest manner: The whole
performance received such applause, as such act-
ing, and such harmony, must always,. command.
The favourite entertaismeat of Tkt followed ;
the opplaine increases with its performance; it
was received in the warmest manner, by one
of the most brilliant and fadtionable audiences cf
the season. Ev se supported the charade/ of the
Miller. in WILOUGICTON'S absence, with great erred ;

Last night, Mr. Hototorr's Tale of Ilysiery
was revived at this Theatre, and Mr. McLean
assumed, favahe first time. the part of Coma Re-
ntal& ; the style and character of which is so op.
onsite to the line of acting Mr. Mtirro's.genius has
hitherto pursued, that he not only surprised, but con-
viaced us, that, with hit good sense, sad jest concep-
tion of character, supported by his commanding voice,
and impressive manner, he is competent to shine in all
the various walks of,the drama. His delivery of the
following passage—
" There havel bees diiven for shelter Under these wry
roaks! Oh, that they would Goss! Carer me mirth! Cowie
my crimes! Cove, my shams!
Called forth the most unbounded applause. In his
scene with the Miler he was also eatrenseiy interest-
ing, and the whole performance was !wagered with
repeated plaudits from a crowded audience.
