fast with the comedy of "A bold .Stroke for a Husband," the
intei Jude of .‘ 7'he Rival Soldiers," and the farce of " The I'll-
idge tawver," have adopted a coarse which cannot fail to
fender it popular. They have gleaned the best actors from
the various- provincial theatres, and assumed the pleasing
task of introducing rising merit to the favour of the capital.
On Monday, no less than five new performers made their
A,st appearance. A Mrs. Belfield in Donna Vittoria (in the
lbotriedy) displayed a prepossessing appearance, Muth chaste
acting, and a considerable power over the sympathies of the
audience. A Miss Seymour tendered the part of Donna
Laura yeti respectable. Mr. Johnstone from the Hull
theatre personated Dort Vicentio with much effect.

Mts. Gibbs, Terry and Jones, ably acquitted themseves, as
becal-e established favourites who wish to secure the reputa-
tion which they have acquired. in the interlude, Tokely's 1
Plijperkin was supported with hxecellent spirit ; a Mr. J.
Jones, who appeared in Sinclair, evinced some taste and a
pleasing voice: In the farce, a near Sherpface was produced,
lit the person of Mr. Baiter, from the Cheltenham theatre,
Who proved in his acting, that he well knew hogs to distin-
guish between humour and buffoonery.
Oh Tuesday the Comedy of John Pull served as a 'aide
for the introduction of duce other performers. A Mrs.
hart-00d imparted to the part of Mary, all its reqffisites,
•tooth, heauty, and feeling. Mr. Foote of the Edinbiirgh jI
Yheatre, raised the character of Peregrine. to a higher degree
of importance than it had yet attained in other hands: A
Vesting and intelligent countenance, gentlemanly manners,
d trios( harmonious voice, a ctirrect judgment, and all that
warmth of feeling which alone can awaken corresponding
'sympathy in the audience, form his qualifications fur the
elevated walks of the drama, in Which be is calculated to
!hove with more than common distinction. Mr. Lindsay, 1
trOm Dublin, surprised us at first by his resemblance in size, i
trountenancci and even voice, to our favothite Johnstone.
his delineation of Delude Bru/gruddery was faithful and ef-
fective, though his humour perhaps wanted the wit of the 1,
eye, or that vivacity of look which in his predecessor so
roWerfully adds to the expression and truth of the character.
the applauses bestowed on these three performers was of a
nature to gratify their most sanguine hopes.
On Wednesday still greater things weld attempted. A
Mrs Meggett made his debut in the character of Richard 111.1
