THEATRES.

DRUST-L•Ne.
The liniy comedy of The Road to Runs w$
performed last night. Mr. MUNDICN appeared hie
tile host time this reason, in the character of Old
Donato,. On his entrance he was received with
three rounds of enthusiastic applause. a just consph.
ment to his talents, the value of which he appeared
to feel deeply. The veteran was nea►ly overcome
by this grateful acknowledgment of his long and
meritorious services. Mrs. Hyades appeared with
increased *stress io Sophie: her Performauce was
accompanied by wall-deserved applauve.

COVICIIT-GARDBM.

The comedy of The Wonder was rendered tin.
usually attractive last night by the appearance of
Mos Cultism in Donna Vicariate, and of several
performers of acknowledged merit in the other prim-
opal characters. Miss Catarina's Violent. was, very
pleasing performance, distinguished for a graceful re-
firms/eat of moaner, which, though it does not enter
into the listorabsolote requisites for stogoeffect. 'opt
highly desirable to fill up the outline of a female
character in such a sphere of life, and displaying
the pettish mortification which is the unrolling tor-
ignitor of ss fine woman who conceives both her per.
seal charms and her affection to have been slighted.

from a compelled indifference to the favoured ob-
ject to that dormice resort in all such covey, an
elusion of teary. This scene where her lover it--
seta upon entering the bedchamber. and where she is
apprised by her faithful confidante of the fortunate
exit of the Colonel, was artfully managed. Mr.
C. Klemt.t's tion Felix was loudly applauded;
he played with much spirit, and looked the youth-
ful bet jealous loser extremely well ; his doubts
of his mistress's fidelity, now completely removed,
and Dow receiving additional confirmation Irons cep.

of farther proof, and his sudden and violent deter-
imitation is, resign all thoughts of her for the future,
vette:pressed with a peevish gravity, which became
ludicross by his speedy conversion to his former
attachment.. Mr. Arson's Colonel Briton deserves
the most fieurarsiltle notice; he his seldom appear-

tremely pretty (and she had little else to do) in
!Wells. Any military hero might well be excused
tor transgrewsiog the articles of politeness in pur-

The hoese was well attended ; the audience was

OXALIC ACID.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sto—A. I have lately adopted a precaation is the sale of
o.ralie Add, which appears to me likely to be inure effec-
tual than toy other plan I have seen proposed for preveatiag
those fatal mistakes which are contionally oecorriag, from
its similarity to Itpeen Seals, I beg, through the medium of
yaw Paper, to give it publicity; and I canoe' but tbink;if
it should be gewerally followed, that the damage intruding
the sale of Oxalic Add would be entirely removed. My
plan is simply this sett the Oratie Acid to a liquid dote
may j I dissolve one part of the Acid is three pis of boil.
ing water: while the solution is warm, I pat it into bottles
capable of bolding one, two, three, or fuer ounces, and up.
wards; earl, bottle of the solution, of course, contains a
fourth of its weight of pure Acid; so if I ans applied to fur
an ounce of the Oxalic Acid, I give a four.onnce bottle of
the liquid, which contains exactly the qnsatityof Acid asked
fee; each bottle is labelled Oxesite Acid tied Poison. it is
wormier, to put the solution into the bottles ware, es it
precipitates • small part of the Acid la cooling, but which is
no incoavenieerv, as a farther addition of water la wormer,
to be added before it is tatted, sad which will make the Wk.
tiou complete.
