PHINCESs's THEATRE.

On Saturday evening Shakspere's comedy of
Twelfth Night was performed at the above theatre,
by the same artists who had represented it the pre-
ceding night, by Royal command, at Windsor Castle.
When the piece was produced last season at the
Princess's, the very admirable manner in which it was
acted induced us to enter at considerable length into
the general merits of the performance ; and, as the
present "cast" is, with three exceptions, identical
with that which we have already reviewed, we may
now confine ourselves principally to its novel features,
which were the Sir Toby Belch of Mr. Bartley, the
Olivia of Miss Murray, and the Duke Orsino of
Mr. Wheatleigh. With regard to Mr. Bartley's
delineation of the bibacious old knight, those
who are acquainted with the actor's sterling
abilities will readily believe that it included every-
thing which irreproachable reading, aided by a
remarkably fine voice, unflagging spirit, and thorough
knowledge of the best histrionic traditions, could con-
tribute to make up a sum of excellence rare indeed in
these degenerate days. Miss Murray made a very
handsome and graceful Olivia ; one truly calculated
to enamour the refined Orsino, and to inspire him
with the exquisite thoughts to which he gives utter.
ante. But her looks, " the melody ,breathing from
her face," were not the only spells with which she
entranced her lover, or awakened sympathy in the
audience : for there was evidence, in her performance,
of mind—a more pure and spiritual, if not more
potent charm--strong in itself, but, when combined
with graceful beauty, irresistible. Mr. Wheatleigh
delivered the glowing language of Orsino with judg-
ment and taste. Mrs. Charles Kean's Viola re-ex-
hibited all those perfections upon which we formerly
dilated with delight ; and the comedy was otherwise
admirably performed.

completed, f‘r the purpose of being laid down from coast to
coast. Should, therefore, any accident occur to the cable at
present in use, the regular transmission of communications
between England and France will not be interrupted.
