Alexander was performed by Mr. LACY. lhe tam
lents of Mr. LACY seem better adapted to charac-
ters of the moral and sententious kind,'Than to what
tiomsox calls " the amiable fire, and quick heroic
arcinur," of such a part as Alexander. It was evi:,
dent, through the whole of his performance, that
Mr. LACY's general conception of the part wa3
just: in all the pathetic passages he touched the
aft Lions,, but his natural quaiiiics are not equally
calculated to diTlay the impetuous activity, the ,
eager violence, and the rapid transitions in the tem-.
per of the Macedonian Madman. Upon the vihole,
however, Mr.-LACY'S performance was very credit..
able to his understanding,, though not thoroughly
in unison with his habits and ins powers.

The young Candidate who was to have started
forwrd at Covent Garden Theatre, in the part of
Hamlet, has, it seems, reflected on the difficulty of
the enterprize, and resolved to defer his -atterrPt
'till he has improved his qualifications by farther
study,

was predicted from the beginning of the TreatP
that JONES would not dispose of this property.

the Old Bailey Harmony, though stridly Withlan

not plead that he had. taken the shells on score.
