COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

A new tragedy, under the title of the Jew qf
rayon, or the Hebrew Queen, was produced at this
Theatre last night. As it met with a decided and assur-
edly just condemnation, we shall be brief in our notice of
it. The subject is taken from a well written 'Spanish le •
gend, in Mr. Taus.aa's " ReMance of History," and has
reference to the intrigues of a Jew, named Xavier, (Mr.
CHARLES' Ksmat.s), for placing his daughter Ru•
Adel (Miss FANNY Kwaramt), on the throne of
Arragon. The plot of the drama is artificial and clumsy,
and violates every law of probability. It is moreover
wholly devoid of interestr and scarcely begins to stir till
the Amnia act. With regard to character, there is but one
with the slightest pretensions to tragic power, the ambi-
tious Jew, and he, though eternally before the audience,
and now . and then thrown into situations which ought to
have
.proluced an effect, created so little interest that we
saw more than one gentleman fall' asleep in the dress circle.
As fur Rachuel, she is a mere sketch—a shadow. Ali**
KRAMLE did all that could possibly hue done for such a meagre
outline, but, having no material to work 'on, she wholly
failed. The rest of the dramatis persona: were insipid
and common-place ; but the appearance of a Jewish
rabble on the stage was infinitely whimsical, nut to say
origival, and put the anthem% into the greatest possible
good humour.. We never saw such a grotesque set of scare.

we could speak well of the language of the play, but a
regard to justice compels us to assert that, like the chem.. •

of such trash as this, which the author, no •doubt, meant'

The comparison of an old carpet with n young maiden

bathos. We would strongly advise Mr. WA ROE to attempt
no more tragedies. They are really no- joke. lie has
evidently no stern tragic emir' in his composition, and
should stir* to nwhistleames or operas, for which his abi-
lities seem best.adegsted. The actors all did their best, but
the piece notwithstanding was a decided faint., and will
not, we understand, be repeated.
