but it was not intended to prosecute them.
The RECORDER examined the counterfeit coin,
and expressed his regret to the Jury, that the exe-

The Foreman of the Jury replied, that they had
examined the base pieces in the Jury-box with
great attention—they were certainly very well exe-
cuted, but yet the fabrication was easily discover-

This house was lust night attended by g

seated a brilliant display of beauty, elegancep
sad fashion. The tragedy of Othello gave a-very
high degree of pleasure to the numerous com-
pany who bed assembled to witness the hurt (failure
Of our great dramatic Poet. Mr. KC'S( never-per-
hips exhibited more energy and feeling. His love
fur Desdemone, though tender, partook atrougly of
the ardent qualities which are said to blend them-
selves with all the passions of men, born betwitth
the influence of a burning sun—his jealousy was
fearfully true to nature—and his relawbe, roil
despair were grandly terrible. That part of the
third act, iu whichtlis wily lago pours the poison of .
suspicion into the too credulous mind of the Moor.
was played iu a style of excellence which forbids
description, and defies comment. Mrs. W. Wesx's
Desdesnond is a beautiful and delicate picture of
female affection, unshaken by the rude storm of
jealousy which violently assails it. Mr. Bannounn
played Ingo indifferently well. Ile laboured to
infuse some humour into Isis performance—but,
truly, it was " very tragical mirth." Mrs. GLOVER
sustained the. character of Emilia with the best
effect. The scene in which, having discovered the
murder of her mistress, she breves the vengeance
of Othello, was acted with a lofty and noble spirit.
The tragedy was received with the highest pp-
planar.
The afterpiece of The Rival Soldiers (cut down
from O'Kettex's ;wale opera of Sprigs of Laurel)
introduced Mr. MuNnee to the audience iu his fa-
vourite character of IVipperkin. His rich comic
humour rendered this part extremely amusing. His
drunken scene was admirable, and called down fre-
quent peals of laughter. The two songs, " 4 Man
of a thousand," sod " A Lass is good," were ob.
streperously toasted.

COVENT-GARDEN.
The tragedy of Romeo dad Jrliet produced a
splendid and overflowing house last night. The
poet's fancy can conceive nothing more beautiful
than the Juliet of Miss °lieut. It is the elms
ructer which introduced this inconsparable actress
to a London audience, and placed her in their
highest estimation. It 144 night &played all her
wonted excellence, all the sweetness, delicacy and
feeling of which it is susceptible. Mr. CHARMS
lissisut's Romeo was crowned with his usual WC..
ergs, mod the other characters were adequately sus.
