THE TIMATRE.

The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet introduced a
new Actress last night at Drury-lane-Theatre, in
the character of the Heroine. This actress is a
Miss STANLEY, who, though announced on this
occasion as absolutely new to the Public, has,. we
understand,'often performed on provincial boards.
As the Public are never wanting in candour and
humanity towards the candidates for their favour,
whether entire novelties or otherwise, it is some=
what disingenuous thus to practise on their libe-
rality. Miss STANLEY' is said to be about 18 years
of age, and, if so, we may reverse what,Shylock
. says .of Portia, . •
How much more elder art thou thou thy &dm,"
for she appears to be considerably more advanced
in life than the stated period. Her figure is light,
and not inelegant. Her face is prominent, her
nose aquiline and large, and her eyes dark and ex-
pressive. Her ,voice is pleasing, and pathetic,
bid her utterance is not always distinct. lier act-
ing seemed to be' in a great degree the effect of
tuition but, when she • appeared to throw aside
the trammels of study, it was marked by a kind of
infantile simplicity, and of rather too fondling
description. She cerNinly defivered the sense ot
the character with, accuracy, and where she did
not obviously act from precept, she aprared, to
feel tvluit she uttered, and very properly obtyined
applause. Upon the whole, though ••he has 'no
pretens;ons to first-rate characters, she may be
useful in those of a tender and pensive cast. Mr.

energy. We did not thoroughly relish ELLLSTON'S
It was an odd compound of the 'solemn
and the sportive, and was marked by an expres-
sion of elaborate ployfrlness.
