The co Mel or Curt Yee the Heart Acie ass
lut night per armed. In these limes it is well to
hive even a comedy wills an pleasing a title. It
egretobis to am. 14lrffitnellt ofl the tillage, when
find so great a deficiency in pleasantry every where
else. In Mr. Jouk.• we found all the qualities by
which )chug Rapid ought to.be dodinguislied—
receithiesty and trivaci.y. Mr. I..IIMIN'S (ad nrpirf.
(a character sufficiently ludicrous in 'lir 0rig1..41
drawing) was rendered infinitely amusing liv

and Jesse outland, were well supported
and Miss E. BLANCHARD.
The new female interlude called Ladies at How:
or Gentlemen {Ye can do without }ou, hollowed. 1.
is one of the must amusing trifles which the law
times have seen. The prudishness nhich has marked
some of the members of the Blue Stn twig
has often heist the subject of dramatic and satiric
reproof. Here we hod the mockery of too a
feeling:-.that feeling which leads elderly Wiest,.
abow every thing like the Loves att.d s
tidiculed with so strong, end yet so dehrate a
hand, that even those who are meat attacken,
feel, or pretend to feel, satisfied with their chas-
tisement. Mr.. Enwitt's personation of a youth
deeply involved in love, was lively—we should
have thought her a youth, had we nut known that.
she was a most excellent actress. Mies lleauhowe
acted and sang extremely well. Mrs. Luton, wit
one of the ladies brought forward to support the
newfangled saying of 'a Gentlemen se eau du
without you," sang her parody of " Where hare
you beets all day, wry dear Tommy," with guest
effect. It was encored. We have spoken of it
as a parody, and in fact it is a laughable one of the
fine Scotch song, " Whar has ye beets a day, my
boy Tauswie."

Laughter accompanied the piece from beginning
to end.

SURILST.
Last night after the psiitomime of False Am.
Patio's, which was very favourably received, was
produced for the first time it new grand burletii
spectacle in two acts. under the hide of Sesader-
beg ; or, the Outlawed Prince. It is fouodesl um

benevolence to repair the ills which war hail felt
behind it. and renders himself universally belmni

country. flit gallant qualities and amiable eirtna-

the Lady Antonia, the Conoteos'ssisier. The pl.-
vino is mutual, but he resolves never to unite Li 4
fate with hers till that cloud had passed away
which hangover his destiny. while his noble Ifidte,4
and her sister ore loot in conjectures as to the calluses
of his evident reserve and unhappiness, and his

contributed, very much, together with Nliss Con-

success the piece met with. Mrs. (iOMEadts. slid
