DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The tragedy of King Lear was performed at this
house loot night. Mr. BooTH sustsined the prin-
cipal part, as successfully, at the least, as on any
'former ocei.ion. His Lour is a piece of acting
which possesses very considerable merit's, and ma-
nifest., its very numerous instances, both a deep
and strong conception of the feelings and passions
by which the character is supposed to be influ.
cored and imitated, and the more difficult and
rare power of communicating his own emotions to
the audience. Mr. BOOTH generally pourtraye
very expressively the pangs of nature, and the
agonised feelings of an injured father's heart, but
in representing the combination of the same emo-
tion; with the lofty indignation and the haughty re.
e•rtittin•nt of wronged and insulted royalty, he is
not so happy. Among other causes which might
be assigned for this, a striking one is the limited
compass of voice which Mr. BooTH has received
from nature; it is scarcely adequate to express
the tones of authority and command with due
firer, without being strained into a harshness

tract fns attention from the sentiment. But lie re-

supported by Mr. COOPER for the first time. His
figure sod deportment are well adapted to the re-
presentation of time generous, brave, unsuspecting
youth; and there is no part which this Gentleman
could undertake to Which he would not bring
large portion of judgment and talent. But allow.
ing this general, praise, we are obliged to coolers
that Edgar did not please us so much as the
preceding characters in which we have seen Mr.
COOPER. For instance, isi the long interview
with Lear, wader the disguise of Ala Tow,
his Manner struck ma as too subdued and
tame; at least it is far snore so than that of
other players whom we recollect in the same pas-
sage; sail Imitates it May beisaid in favour of the
latter, th4t a &ivied is ripely to be more noisy and
boisterous than a real madness, as a cloak for the

REJOICINGS IN THE COUNTRY.

HULL. NOVEMBER 13.

THE QUEEK.—As soon as the fate of the Bill
was known here yesterday, a general change was
visible in almost every countenance. The gloom of
disaffected despondency yielded to the smiles of
honest joy ; and 4, TVie Queen is acquitted !"
" The Queen is acquitted !" was the salutation of
all who met. For, much to 114 e honour of the King's
friends in this town. they never went the length of
not allowing that the Queen was an injured and
must unfortunate woman. This 'domino the merry
bells announced the peaceful tidings to the public,
and we understand that various dinner slid supper
parties are funning, with the view to celebrate so
important an event. It gives us no little pleasure
to find that the joy enattirrsied on this occasion is
nut malignant, amid that nothing is to be rpprcheuded
from the insulter in ‘vhich all parties propose to ex-
press their sentiments on an occasion so interesting
to the nation at large.
On the news of the Qoleeti's victory reaching-Eye
on Saturday, a subscription was immediately set-on
foot for the purpose of rejoicing; the bells rung till
eight o'clock, and the Corpuration grins continued
• firing till a late hour at night; the joy in the evening
wa, much iucra•ased by meny of the inhabitants
illuminating, amid a baii:l of music playing round
the too is with torch lights.
Great rejoicing took place at Sudbury on Satin--
day on the artifal of the fate of the late Bill of
Pain. and Penalties. The bells; continued ringing
during the day. and bonfires were made at night'
to which, oinitist a general shout, were consigned
the Green Batt and the Courier newspaper, alter
which was sung in full chorus, " God save the
Queen!"

BURY ST. EDMUND'S, NOT. 15.

The intelligence of the termination of the pro-
ceedings against the Qtteen was received in this
town wah the warmest demonstrations of joy, and
the bells rang throughout the day. A green big,
hung with black, was Carried about the streets, ac-
companied by flags anti music ; fire-arms tiring at
intervals iliwtiarged. In the evening two bonfires
were lighted. and the discharge of guns renewed.
A general illumination will take place this eveniog
(Wednesday); and a meeting was appointed by the
Alderman, in pursuance of a Requisition, to he
held yesterday, for the purpose of agreeing to an
Address to the Queen, which was numerously at-
tended, the Resolutions were carried noatiiinotislv,
and an Address ordered to lie at the Guildhall for
signature. till Saturday next.

NORWICH, NOVEMBER 14.

The intelligence of the Bill of Pains and Penal-
ties haying been given up, was brought to this city
by the mail on Siturday morning ; the passetiv,ess
being decorated with white favours end laurel, caus-
e] the joyful news to be known in afew minutia
in every part of the city. The pleasure with which
it was received was perceivable in nearly every
countenance. The bells of several churches were
immediately rung, and an application signed by a
great number of the most respectable parishioners
of Si. Peter's Maticuolt was also forwarded to the
Churchwardens, requesting that their beautiful
peals which had so often rung on the defeat of
our foreign foes, should now celebrate the
downfall of the attempt made by our domestic
enemies; but after a consultation with the high
authorities, the request was denied. Iti the
eveling several individuals illuminated their I ))))) *es,
parties parided the streets by torch light, amidst
the universal shows for the Queen, and a bonfire
in the market place finished for this day the rX-
prearion of the popular feeling upon this important
constitutional triumph.

ExETEk.—The welcome news respecting the vile
measure which has recently been pending in the
Hogue of Lords against the QutEN, reached this
city by the Sunscripgion couch as early as six
o'clock nu S,lturdily evcuing last. being full an hour
betore its nsual time of arrival. A siniiilittneous ex-
pression of joy seg-nied tcg pervade the inhabitugits ;
the hello at St. Sidwell's-church struck out a merry
peal ; and we believe it. to be not the with .r en
ulmost iniiv-rsal enthusiasm this those i,f the other
parish churches but 'fortieth followed the exempla.
Firing of pistols, disehargros of rockets. with other
demon orations of' rejoicing. filled the streets; and
•• The Queen for ever !" resounded from rite extre-
mity of the city to the other. If any mourned, at
the event they hid themselves. Correspondents
from various pieces furnish us with the must satis-
factory intelligence as to the general feeling excited
on the occasion. It is winnowed that an illutoination
will take place here to-morrow or Thursday night.
To our certain knoolteg• preparatious are snaking
by marry individuals to celebrate the joyous occur-
rence. The loyal inhabitants of the manor and
pintail of Sr. Sitwell, we understand, have expressed
their rkterminetion to illuminate ou our of the said
