r,fjlralVsubiic will admire the promptitude iif.the
modartient in securing the instant appearance
of their RosciUtt. He made Ins entry last night
in Kieharti .111,,n0 tbat,.he most have been Met
on the coast ant,bie lending. as there could not
have been time for the necestary correrpondence to
take piece ou. his arrival otherwise. The house
was full, but not so crowded as a more timely
notice would have csused it .to be. Not one
half ol.the...town coal have heard of it in
time to determine on being present. The se-
cond scene of the play was waited for with
breathless eagerness. Mr. KRA N made his
Ipso.' busty • entrance, but was checked mid-
tillage by the storm of applause. which had ere this
risen to its highest. The pit was up, en Nam,
and every hat was waving, and es'ery voice was en-
gaged in the congratulatory hisses. The booms
Joined their applause% while the tlninders of the gel-
leriee over pealed the whole. The applauees subsided
in a certain degree, and thee was renewed with greater
ardour than before. Mr. K 2Am looked well, and took
his stand with a view to -commencing his part after
having made full ackoowledgenents fur the notice
- taken of bins. The warns reiterations of the ap-
plauses put him from his purpose. He was obliged
to relax the assumed severity of his mien, and a
smile of grateful sympathy forced itself across
his features. He bowed again and again, and
alter a few moments was allowed to proceed.
His conception of the part seemed to have
undergone no modification of importance, as
indeed it were pity that it should. • Hia voice,
gait, and manner were strong, with the same
stern and rugged ambition which first distinguished
him. The same fearful interest and silence waited
upon every one of his movements, and every expres.
siou of his plague-dealing imagination. He gave
increased confirmation to that vigorous identity of
the last of the Yorks which is now admitted in both
hemispheres to be the true one. His thrust at
the dying King, in the Tower, was witnessed
with the emotion of entire novelty. We must,
however, be candid enough to say, that wherever
Mr. KEAN has altered his original display of the
character, he has committed mere innovation and
damaged his first splendid design. The slightest
shades of devirtian are discoverable on a very bright
surface. In the first soliloquy his petulant mode
of expressing " the dogs bark at me," is not so
well as his first and more collected method ; nei-
ther is the light manner of his pronouncing " until
the head of this mishapen trunk," &c. half so good
as the iutentnese with which he fornierly dwelt
upon the leading purpose of his ambition. But
criticism is ashamed of quarrelling with one who
can rule wide and entirely independent of her
domain. That he bore sway all suffrages as
completely as he ever did was manifest through-
out, from the alternations of deep and anxious
*deface and overwhelming plaudits which con.
scantly succeeded each other. He went on with
unabated success until toward, the conclusion of
the fourth act, when his voice nearly Tailed him
altogether, sod it was with much difficulty that he
was heard to the end of the play. In the course of
the performance many points were seized on to
commemorate opinions of a political character : the
expression of " poor injured Queen," was mar ked
by one party, and that of " the King's name is a
tower of strength, which they upon the adverse fac-
tion want," was adopted with much fervour by an.
other. Much praise is due to the other performers
for suddenly qualifying themselves fur their parts.
Mr. Pots was always at home in King Henry.
Mr. THOMPSON is a very superior representative of
Duke anekinghans. Mr. B•RNARD gave imposing
effect to leessel ; end Mr. COOPER, in Richmond,
worked his part up to a fine contrast with the san-
guinary and ambitious designs of his regal rival.
Mrs. EGERTON inspired the part of the Queen
with much of the pathos of grief. Her scene in
the tower on separating from her children was the
most sensible conception of the incident that has
yet bee's witnetared. Miss SMITHSON agreeably
surprised the audience with her delineation of
Ludy Anne, and figured even beyond her
natural powers. The old tempest of applause
was awakened by the duel in the dose of
the play, and on the falling of the cartel° rever-
berating shouts were set up, which were potent
enough to cull Richard bock to life. Mr. KEAN
appeared and made oral acknowledgment fur the
great kindness and favour which had been sliewn
him, mod for which his thanks were so much more due
in consequence of his preseut imperfections (al hiding
to the failure of his voice). He trusted that during
his absence he had done nothing which they
would think deserving the forfeiture of their favour
in any way, or at all derogatory from the character
of an Englishman. He again asserted his grati-
tude. and retired amidst deafening applause%
Mr. RUSSELL then came forward and stated.
that Mr. BEAN having only arrived et twelve
o'clock, was so entirely overcome with the fatigue
of the journey end the performance together, that
it would be impossible fur him to appear, as had
been announced, this evening. He will, on Wed-
nesdae, perform Shylock ; and on Thursday,
Utheile.

the square, in the centre of which the orchestra

pratentiaga the national emblems of Abe three
kingdoms disposed ea military trophies and
interspersed with ..wreaths and crowog of laurel

the bottom of the square, in the rear 'or the or-

transparent Piloting designed in honour of the
occasion. Underneath were the words " Long Live
George IV." in bright gold coloured lamps, a
continued wreath of laurel in bloom formed in co-
loured 'Amps running round the whole as a bottler.
The ciariv walks were all blocked up, that in
which the lire-works are usually displayed with a
large painting of a sea view ; and the parallel one
leading to the cascade, with a theatre, in which
Mr. GY11416r.t., throughout the evening, exhibited
a varied series of performances, consisting of the
°mines Chinoises. tight-rope (lancing by mecha-
nical figures, slackwire dancing by young GY!'t
nett, balancing, and gymnastic exercises. Is
other parts of the Gardens were exhibited punch,

of the night, Mons. CNA was exhibited his sleight
of hand performances ; Mons. Aeggsnnee went
through his onperalelled efforts of ventriloquism;
Mr. Wresox danced on the tight rope; Mr. GYII-
°ELL delighted the company by playing several
charming airs on the harasorfixed musical gluon.
which he executed in the most teiteful manner; and
the surprising RAMO SAMEE performed several of
his most astonishing feats.
The extreme showery state of the weather
through the whole of the day led us to anticipate
au exceeding dull night, and it certainly operated
in preventing the attendance of many. The coin•
parry arrived but slowly at first ; about twelve
o'clock, however, nearly Mesa hundred, including
dominos and plain drew., assembled in the gar.
dens, comprising the usual assortment of characters,
few of which were sosta;ned with any degree of abi-
lity. About lesKimitiiie the boxes were ripened,
and the conipauy sat down to an excellent supper,
consisting of every kind of delicacy, and fruits, end
ices of the best quality in profusion. After supper
the entertainments of the earlier pert of the, evening
were repeated, and the several hands which had beau
playing alternately through the night, commenced
qinichille, waltz, and reel tunes, and the dancing
was proceeding at a spirited and lively rate when
we left the gardens.
