g ito of coinmandingatrentioe.' -Many blamed Mrs. iludie's
rashue,s in venturing to assume a character, in which her ahi.
titles cannot be investigated according to the ideal rule of excel.
!ewe which every man lays down for himself, but must imtue.
diatcly be brought into comparison with those of Mrs. Sidlons,
before which it might be expected they would shrink into iusig.
nificance. We think, on the contrary , that her prudence was
conspicuous in the choice of her part, the interest of winch
defended her weakness and bade the heart feel without trti,ting
to the deceptioNs of the eye.

Mrs. Mudie's voice is very good, her whine is never disguilin,
but seldom pathetic ; her delivery is impaired by a lisp %Inch
she struggles in vain to conquer entirely, as it now and then
intrudes passages, when the voice of the passions alone ought to
he heard. She understands her part very well, but is, perhaps,
rather cold when animation is required, and her scream when
she discovers her husband in the Strauger, is to loud and too
shrill to touch the heart of sensibility. Her action is rathc;
awkward, but evidently so.through the anxiety to please, with-

age, and although possessed of no mean talents, we do not thiH,
she will ever become a favourite of the public.

On Friday night The Mourning Bride and The F:)r•est ej Iler

Fire. We do nut know exactly who are included anion the
intrerers ; nor whether the contributions of the Public he tie.
tilled to fill the coders of the treasury, or to compensate for ti
losses which the neighbours and inferior depend:Lois of
fheatre have sustained. W e were glad to see by the fullness of
the house, that the British Nation do not rest satisfied with the
esijoyment of pleasure, but also liberally' support those who have
rontributed to their amusement, • when they are assailed by mit—
fortune.

We rejoice tn see that Mr. Young. from the Ilayr.►arket, will
make hi. linit appearance at the king's Theatre, in a neo Mel-
drama, next Tuesday night, as it will open a larger field to his
exertions, and we doubt not to the gratification of the ?abbr.
