Mr. KERN lest night appeared as 411atbeth..

the minuter touches, evinced infiiiitr genius and a

The tragrdy of June Shore was last night repre-
sented to a crowded mid brilliant house. Miss
61Sitim., as the unhappy favouiite, in every scrim,
eicited the drepeit sympathies, and drew forth the
desrest of her audience. She towered
krraily, where he blesses Hawing& for his generous
adherence to the., Royal little ones"—this scene was
finely contrasted with the supplication of her once
kind fiiend, Alicia, sad her repentance. as tote spirit
is about to quit 4s mausion, sshich touched the
chord of pity to every breast. Mr. YOUNG'S Host-
lags, and the Delmont, of Mr. MACREADY, were
ably acted. Mr. Euzirrox performed the part of
Glo'ster extremely well. Mr. Boom, who was
advertised to appear in that chanicter, has; we un-
derstand, received, at his own request, his articles
from the Proprietors of the theatre, on whose boardi
lit will not again " fret and strut his hour."
