THE Til EAT:: E.

If A TM Last night the Comedy of l'itc
Hypocrite was represented at this Theatre, with
aOlllO variation in the performance, as the part of
Doctor Galan:ell was assigned to Mr. W. FA It-
It EN, vice Mr. DoWTos, whose excellence in re-
presenting it was universally admitted and ad-
mired. WilEther the change was in consequence of
the illness of Mr. Do WTO or the termination of
his eogagement at this Theatre, we know not,
but we shall not follow the example of solve of
the 'Morning Critics in drawing a comparison
tie-
tcceen the two performers. The outline of the
character it is impossible to mistake, and
Mr. FAancs gave a specious colouring of
smooth dissimulation covering artifice, fraud,
and licentious desire. In the last scene after
detection he displayed the shameless audacity,
anti the rage of disappointment in a manner cre-
ditable to his judgap-nt, if not so terribly im-
pressive as it has been rendered. Upon the
whole he was very well received, and, with the
powerful support of LtsTos in illabrzcorm, and the
respectable representation of the other characters
by Mrs. DAvisos, Mrs. GLOVER, YOUNGEH, and
Vii NG, the comedy was warmly applauded.--
Mr. HAttLEY was to have appeared lust night iii
the Farce of Intrigue, nod that of 'Mould
Puzzle a Conjuror, but was prevented, as stated,
by " a domestic calamity." All who know
the private character of Mr. liAnr.cy,-,must re-
gret the occasion, as lie is as deservedly esteemed
for his personal merit as he is admired for his
professional talents. The two characters whicls
he was to have performed were allotted to Mr.
W. \Vivi., who is a clever young man, and a
riving favourite with the Public. We are glad
to see that Midas, the best. burletta in the whole
British Drama, is announced for revival to night,
and, from what we have heard, is likely to be
brought forward with great eclat in point of
music, scenery, stud theatrical arrangement.

TISZARTS.—An interesting lithographic Print
has been made by Mr. Ilum.stAsoeu, from a
Drawing by Mr. l'Autty., (well known as an
Artist), from the Cu P formed of part of the Mul-
berry Tree, which probable Tradition states as
having been actually planted by the greatest
Dramatic Poet that ever lived, and presented to
the greatest Actor, perhaps, that ever graced the
stage. The following is the inscription on the
Print The above is a correct Drawing of the
original Goblet carved from SuktseeLttE's Mul-
berry Tree. which was presented to Davin
GA R RICK, Esq. by the Mayor and Corporation
of Stratford-upon-Avon, at the Jubilee held
in the year 1769 ; and after the death
of his widow, was (by a decree of Chancery)
sold at Mr. CHRISTI E's auction-room, King-street,
St. James's, o'i the sth of May, 18/5, and pur-
chased by Mr. J. Jonmsox of Southampton-
street, Covent-garden, who caused this print to
be made, to perpetuate the above circumstance."
-,-The motive which occasioned this print is hon.
curable to the taste of the purchaser, and the
Artists who made the drawing and the print have
done full justice to the subject. The goblet itself
is elegantly formed and decorated. The history
connected with it, and the great-Actor to whom
it was given, render it an article of national va-
lue, which if not deposited in the British Museum,
its most proper situation, should at least be pur-
chased by the Theatrical Fund of Drury-Lane
Theatre, in honour of our immortal Bard, and of
the most perfect representative of his characters.
We suggest to the present Possessor the propriety
of having, as a companion Print, a representa-
tion of the house in which GARRICK so long
resided in Southampton-street. It would also be
an appropriate companion to that of the house'
in which SHAKESPEARE resided at Stratford-
upoa-Avon. GARRICK'S house is now the hotel
opposite to Tavistock-street, and a print of
it should be made before the rage for building
has removed every vestige of a mansion rendered
venerable as the residence of a man justly esteem-
ed for intellectual and moral excellence, and
universally admired for unrivalled genius in I►is
Art.

ORDERI."—A French Author, who had pro-
duced a very doubtful production, was very liberal in the dis-
tribution of orders on the first night of it: performance. The
piece was, however, so bad, that all his hired friends deserted
him, exoept one, who, faithful to I is promise, and yet open to
conviction, was reduced at last to hiss and cheer at the same
time." "Is it possible," said a spectator, " that you et a ap-
prove and disapprove at the same time ?" " No, no," said
he, " that is not the case: I know this play is the most exe-
crable thing that ever was performed, but •I came in with an
order, and have a regard for the author ; and so that I may
neither wrong him nor my own judgment, I have abused the
piece out of justice to myself until I am hoarse, and I have
clapped it to oblige bins until my hands are sore."—( Percy
Anecdote: of the Stage.)
THEATRICALS IN INDIA.—Mrs. CARGILL, on
actress of some eminence for her vocal talents, went to India in
1782; she was remarkably sucees4ul, not only in her own line,
but also in tragedy. Her benefit at Bengal amounted to the
astonishing sum of 1,5001. sterling. On her return home in
1784 she was unfortunately lost with several other passengers
on board the Nancy packet, and was found on the rocks of
Scilly, floating with an infant clasped fast in her arms.—( Percy
Anecdote:.)

Whatever improvement may have been effected
by Acts of Parliament, or by an extension and increased vigil-
ance of the police of the Metropolis, in the morals of people, we
cannot say that much of it is to be witnessed on the river
Thames, or its banks ; for we believe never at any period within
our memory have the exhibitions' so revolting to delicacy, of men
bathing within the public view, been so frequent as at present.
Scarcely an evening passes that boat-loads of naked men are
not to be seen jumping in and out of the river immediately
in front of the Temple-gardens, where hundreds of females
are walking to enjoy the cool of the evening, many accompa-
nied by their male friends and relatives, to whom the sight
must be no less painful under such circumstances. On Thurs-
day evening, between seven and eight o'clock, we saw no less
than tour boats come from the Surrey side of the river, just in
front of the gardens, with three bathers in each, who delibe-
rately undressed themselves in the boats, and plunged several
times into the water, and on each time of regaining the boats,
stood for some time in a state of nudity, as if triumphing in
the indecency of their conduct: and yet all this takes place
under the nose of the Thames Police Establishment's vessel,
which is moored off the Surrey stairs. Would it not be well
to make some rule of law to punish watermen who suffered
such practices to take place in their boats ?—( Times.)
A WATER PARTY, Ott A DUCKING EXTRAOR-
In NARY.—Some few weeks since, the wife of an inhabitant, of
St. Ives eloped with one of her husband's journeymen, to Lon-
don, bearing with them whatever of plate or ready rhino could
be found. These being spent, and their fancies left without
finances, it behoved them to return to the good old town, when
a party of virtuous duckers hearing of it, instinctively sallied
forth to meet and greet the wanton pair; and while she,
rescued by the police, escaped to the open arms and sanctuary
of her husband, the gay Lothario was seized and well soused
into a horse-pond, from which he emerged in a precious
pickle, to be no more seen or heard of at St. Ives.
