• We observe. from,the PlyMouth.Paper, that the
Corporation of that place have done themselves•
great honour by conferring the freedom of his
native Borough' upon Mr. thirnoN, the .Artist,
on acconnt of his merit as . a historical painter ;
especially ;is evinced in his last picture of the
Judgment of Solomon. .It is always•with plea-
sure that, appreciating the fine arts as we , do;
we,record the application of any worthy stimulus
to the genius of those who afford fair promise of
excellence in a career at once brilliant for• them-
selves and beneficial for their country. Such .a
testimony of applause as .this not, we are
persuaded, fail of producing a corresponding ef-
fect upon the Artist, in whose works we see every
thing to induce au opinion that his talents, fairly
exercised and properly directed, will, kt no distant
day, raise him so high in the British School, as,
to reflect in a tenfold degree the lustre thus thrown
on his earlier efforts by his admiring tow nstnen.

CRAWFORb ; and, though the ttineB are different;
they prodatee the siihie pathetic result. The MON::
prominent exeellencies of her perforinaiite were
observable in the-garden scene; when she reveals
het. love, unconse.i'ons of an auditor, and inthe
_modest anxieties which she displayed when she
found that she was heard by the Object of her at-
fection. Thei.e (vas a simplicity,._a truth, and a
charm in the whole of:this and the following
scene in the same places which excited admira-
tion, sympathy, and applause id no slight
degree. An excellence of anOther kind was
evident • in the playfulness with which slie
endeavoured to eciax. the Nurse into a disclo-
sure of what had resulted from lice Mission to
Romeo.—There was one - part, however, in this
scene, to which we object; fiir Miss O'NEILL not
only repeated the words of the Nurse, as the text
requireS,- but she adopted the aged twies of the
old Gossip, a mitnickry not suitable to' the cha.-
racter of Juliet. We also object to the screa.ni
which she gave on imagiuitig the terrors which
she• should feel in the " ancient receptable.-
among the bones of her ancestors, as well -as to
the long eontintratree of the gestures with which
she endeavoured. to she* the operation of the
soporific potion given by the Friar. The latter
action, indeed, was well conceived,•and admirably
deliniated, but too much protracted.—But we
almost reproach ourselves for expressing any
objection ..to an Acteessof such original striking
and interesting merit ; and we are iaduced to do
so only for her own sake, and to spew that we
arc not disposed to lavish indi,criminate approba-
tion. It, is proper to observe, that though Miss
O'NEILL has been accustomed to the Irish Stage;
and is probably of Irish origin, there teas nothing
in her pronunciation that indicated the conntry.
The applause which she excited was so great, so
general, and so well-merited, that the Manager
was induced to announce her re-appearance to-
night, though another play had been ':advertiscil.
COZVAY was too boisterous in the detail of Ro-
meo, but his general conception of the einiradtt-r
was not erroneous. The play was well supported
in the subordinate parts, and the Theatre very
well attended.

DRURY:LANE.--Mr. Kr,AN made his second ap,
pearance this season last night, and. assumed ttie
part of Othello. •We are confirmed in the idea
that his voice has improved by practice,, :And lie
seems to have bestowed, more attention on the
nature of the character. The touches of pa:sion
iu some of the scenes were very impressive, par-
ticularly in all the movements of jealously. Judg-
ing from the effect of his performance, it may lee
esteemed an effort of no ordinary iner?t, for lie
excited the warm and reiterated applause ofa very
numerous audience. Mrs. BARTLEY, late *Miss
SMITH, received a liberal greeting on her first ap-
pearance• in her new chariieter as a wedded D(1111,;"
and her performance of Desdemona was also attend-
ed with applause.
