ST,INMORE PRIORY.

The Tragedy of Oroonol.o was represented by the
Amateur Performers on Monday last, at this hospi-
table and splendid' Mansion. The Sable Hero was
well performed by the Earl of ABERDEEN, and Mrs.
HESELTINE gave him such an interesting Imoinda,
as fully justified all his supposed affe&ion. Aboon.-
and Jack Stanmore gave full scope to the respe&ive
talents of Mr. LAWRENCE and Mr. T. SHERIDAN.
There was a good display of simple humour in Mr:-
G. LAMB'S Daniel. The melancholy of this very
affecting'Drarna was well relieved by the whimsical
Farce,of All the World's a Stage, in which Messrs.
LAMB, MADDOCKS, DAWKINS, and SHERIDAN, as
well• as Lady C. LINDSAY and Miss ButLaa, exhi-
bited a!tonsiderable share of comic ability. A good
repast, dancing and revelry, filled up the remainder
of the night, and far advanced into the hours of
morning, when the• Company Went to repose, after
the fatigue of varied pleasure. The DUKE of Cum...'
BERLAND, the Duchess of DEVONSHIRE, 'Lord and
Lady Ess4x, Lady JERSEY, Lord and Lady Dux-
CANNON, and a numerous train of the higher
were preA6nt.

THE THEATRE.--Miss SMITH added considerably
to her reputation last night at Covent-Garden. Thea-.
tre, by her, performance of Jane Shore. The ten-
derness and melancholy of thepart were well sustained
throughout, and the burst of generous anxiety for •
the fate of the Princess was.very impressive and inte-
resting.---KEMBLE, as .we hae before observed,
gives quite a new colouring to the part of Gloucester,
arid by the admirable skill of his 2.6 ting,, plates it -upon
a level with most of the charaaers Which bald a:

KEMBLE'improves every time he performs Hcistings,
and supports it with critical truth as well as energy.
COOKE did nut render Dumont so prominent as wat
expeaed : ;The truth is, that tenderneSS -does not sit
well upon him. He was most successful in the
scene with Hustings.—Mrs. LITCHEIELD always

The maritime experience of Mr. Davis, indeed, pe
culiarly qualify him for a subje& of this kind ; and
the great ability which he has shown in his cele-
brated PiCture of " Lord CoitziwAws receiving the
Sons of TzProo as ,Hostages," may well excite an
