DRURY LANE.

On Saturday evening, the last night of Mr.
Boucicault's management, Shakspear's tragedy of
" Othello" was performed, with the following
cast :—Mr. Swinburne, Othello; L\lr. Ryder, lago ;
Mr. Vandenhoff, Cassio ; Mr. Leeson, Brabantio ;
Desdemona, Miss Fanny Clifford ; and Emilia, Miss
Atkinson. As the soldier and confiding friend,
'6wlnburne acted well ; but be was not so suc-
cessful in the passionate and jealous portions of the
play. There may be characters better suited to
Mr. Swinburne than the Moor, and therefore, be-
fore giving a decided opinion, we should like to see
him in a part more within his capabilities.
Mr. Ryder's 'ago is well known and justly
esteemed. Mr. Farrell was sufficiently inane as
the silly gentleman, Roderigo. Miss Fanny Clif•
ford, with her sweet voice and gentle manner, was
a pleasing Desdemona, and Miss Atkinson, as is
well known, an admirable Emilia.
The theatre is now closed until opened, early in
the next month, by Mr. Falconer, in a grand piece
entitled " Bonnie Dundee."
