DRAMATIC 111 GI

COVENT-GARDEN.

Saturday night ()may's Tragedy of renice Preserced
was performed at this Theatre; when Mr. Kemble ap-
peared, for the last time this season, in the character of
Pierre, and displayed all his accustomed energy. He
was lousily and generally applauded throughout.
The Tragedy of Pi,:arro was produced here on Mon.
day night with appropriate splendour.—The character of
Ehira was sustained by Miss O'Neill.—The killing
softness that prevails in this fascinating actress may nut
harmonise with the general class of heroines; but there
arc feeling and pathos in Eleira ; and Miss O'Neill gavo
to her distress a forceful energy that rendered the cha-
racter deeply interesting and strongly attra.‘tive. Tl:e
part of Cora was well played by Mrs. Faucit, and Mr.
Conway was a very effective Pizarro.—Mr. C. Kemble,
the original Alonzo, displayed feeling and spirit, and the
Rolla of Mr. Young was chaste and impressive. The
House displayed a hill and fiishionable audience.
Mr. Kemble left town on Sunday morning for Liver-
pool, where he is engaged to perform a few nights in a
theatrical career ; after which, and a few nights more
in London next season, he finally retires from public
life.
ENGLISH OPERA.
The Bee Mee was the second piece at this pretty
little Theatre on Tuesday night. Miss Kelly's Cicely
was infinitely amusing, and the three altogether went off
with great spirit and effect. In consequence of the horses
and of Madame Saqui's re-appearance at Covent-garden
Theatre that night (thr Farley's benefit), the following
appropriate lines were introduced in the opening Address
spoken by Miss Kelly :
" For we've no substitutes to feed you hopes—.
No dancing here of tureigners on rope,—
No prancing paiircys we, floor Astley3 stray'd ;
We hope to draw-160°14 the horses aid r
These lines were received with acclamation.

WELL ! here I am at last!—and what's as true,
Nor less surprising- here—id last, are you.
Though we do meet, to() soon, I fro'', to part,
Yet welcome ! kindly u vie ome !—from wy heart!
Our Humble Edifice triumphant rose
In spite of threatening dames and Patent Foes!
The Foes who'd stint your pleasures—but in rain,
To Covent Garden and to Drury-Lane.
Who kindly wish to prove, as it :appears,
Monopolizers of your smiles anti tears!
Who love you all so dearly, that they swear
You shall go no where—if you don't go them.
Pray how d'ye like our House ! Is't snug and easy?
Upon my life, we've done onr best to plrusr ye!
You all ran fuer and see, I hope—Yo—all!
Those are rare virtues of a House that's smolt !
For such, are Actors ever hound to pray,
Where you can see the Stage, and hear the Play.
Where you with ease eau mark our real faces,
Without the aid ofglasses or grimaces
And each inflection (lithe voice is heard,
Your ears prescrv'd ; and our poor lungs are spar'd!
To that small stage which here oar steps would prep,
Full marsy au Actor owes 114 tir3t success;

Let no inch man he trusted"—each we tear--
So those that don't love Magic—don't come here.
Is there a spot through all the varied earth,
Where Nature triumphs in a human birth,
But yields to Music unalispeted sway,
And owns the magic of her Heaven-born lay!
Thine! Nluste thine! to strike with powerful art
Responsive chords on every feeling Heart!
To lift the soul nu mock Devotion's prayer,
To solace sorrow and to soothe despair !
From lisping Infancy to life's decline,
In every age, or state, the art divine
Still claims o'er Man, its soft yet strong controul,
And sways, at will, each passion of the soul!
Who has not mark'd the Infant's playful smile.
While sonic fond Mother's Song its pains beguile?
Its eye! which strugttles still to wake, and hear
The sounds which lull its pangs and charm its ear?
Who has not mark'd that still reluctant eye,
Chafed by the Mother's plaintive lullaby?
The rudest sav ge of the rudest clime,
In some wild measure, and discordant rhyme,
Provokes the mutl'niug dance ; or warrior throng;
And rules man's passions by the charm of Song.
The lowliest peasant who prepares the soil,
ith cheerful ditty, half beguiles his toil!
Anal labour alone, around his evening blaze,
Recounts, its Song, the decals of former days.—
So on the sleek, the sturdy seaman takes
His patient watch, and spite of nature, wakes,
And as the darkling waves around him swell.
The Helmsman chaunts the cheering sound, 0 Ill's Well lv
Rut now a nobler subject we disclose—
Behold what Misery to Music owes!
This Isle, so fain'd wisereer our Wart ions roan,
Is scarce less failed for Charities at home,
Of all its noblest mansions—those the chief,
Where Age, and Hunt, and Sickness, find relief ;
It'here youth is snatched from crime—the hungry fed,
And Vice itself, is back to Virtue led,
Of these—the proudest acts, by man display'd,
how few, but draws their funds frosts Music's aid?
Thus Music, " Heavenly Maid !" alike bestows
Joy in our Gladness--Comfort in our Woes!
her, then, is this modest Temple due.:
Worthy of Her—lf but approsad by I au!

MANSION-HOINE.

FORGERT.—Yesterday Newman was again examined, and
three new charges of forgery exhibited against him.
Mr. Bannister. the Warminster bar.ker, stated, that he dis-
counted four bills for the prisoner in person iu May last. One
which was drawn upon Messrs. Percival and Willis for MM. Ss.
and another on Robarta anti Co. for 2911. were dirseovered to
be forgeries, and pas 1111 nt refused.—Pt rsons from the house
iu question this fact against the prisoner.
N'arine other persons were in ettendance, to :illedge-similar
charges against lirm ; and he was again remanded.
RIOT IY THa NEW Plitios.. -Monday Thomas Belcham, one
of the keepers of the prison in Whitetross-street, exhibited a
complaint against a prisoner for debt (John Vipond), for as-
saulting hint. It appeared, that for sonic time a disposition to
resist certain regulations were manifested by the debtors on the
!Middlesex side of the prison. One of the most salvo (a Ma-
jor in the Army) was therefore locked up in a strong room on
Saturday afternoon. The consequence was, that the remaining
prisoners combined; awl a threatening letter was smitten to
the keeper, Mr. Kirby, declaring the intention of violence if
the Major was not liberated. '1 his proceeding followed by
some outrageous conduct to the °Ricers about the prison. such
as pumping eater upon one, throw inn stone', gin-s bottles,
striking with quart pots (one of the acts of Vipond towards
Brrlcliaani, raid otherwise a...igniting them, it sm.' found ne.as-
sary to send to the Lord Mayor; win', accompani...l by the She-
riff., mar,u4l., and about Pm Caultanbles,reeaired to the pri-
von ; when the first step taken was to lock up the priaon, .s. A
general scene of riot and outrage ensued; and in endeavouring
to force them into the lock up places, many of the Ofticere re-
ceived much injury. Cartwright, the Murshainian, was ',lobbed
through the railing with a penknife in the thigh, and liege.
another Marshalman, was tench beaten. Ake' a short straggle,
however, the refractory were subdued, and chwely locked in.
The Lord Mayor instantly ordered that thee shuuirl he •o kept
the whole of the following, thq (Sundry 1, and that they should
be deprived of the pis:dere of seeing their friend.. Severel
of them has e since. we understand, expressed their contriti n,
arid solicited pardeni brit the person who stabbed Carte right

detain Vipond, in case of a discharge on his civil action.
