THE; THEATRE.

The good effects of competition were strikingly
evident last night at Covent-garden Theatre.--
Mr. YOUNG, who appeared in the character of
Richard the Third, a few monilis ago, with a rate
of ability not in proportion - to his general. merit
as an actor, has been induted, by the popularity
of the new Performer at the other*Theatre, to
reconsider the part, and he resumed it last night
with so much success, that we may fairly say
we hardly ever witnessed a more masterly perk
formance. Thei ;judgment, and variety
which markeduttre,sWle of his representation,
evinced suchlyipfessiOnal merit as would have
entitled him to a _high station in the hest days
of the Stage. The soliloquies were given
.with
admirable skill,, and were so well managed, that,
though he generally stood with his front to the
audience, yet, by his varied gestures and motions,
they seemed to, be the effusions of his own mind
in solitary meditation. In the scene with Lady
Anne there was a display of artifice, without os-
tentation, which was peculiarly effective.. He
introduced one .new reading, which, in our opi-
nion, is. so just, that we wonder it was never
adopted before;,wheti Ludy Anne, bearing that her
beauty was the .catiie of Richard's murder of her
husband and his father, says, " if she thought
that she would rend that beauty from her cheeks,"
Air. YOUNG said,

" These eyes could not endure that beauty's wreck,
" You should not blemish it if I stood by.'
The distinction struck the audience, and was much
applanded.,--But we have not room to specify
particulars, His by-play was excellent, particu-
larly in his flattery of Buckingham to, his face, end
sarcastic contempt of him aside.. All the pas,
-sages-tbat.adm-itted of humour were delivered witiA
a saturnine jocoseness, perfectly in accordance
with the character.: In reading the paper given,
to him by Norfolk, he dismissed it at once with
contemptuous indifference, and this manner ex-
cited an invidious and solitary hiss in the Pit,
which- roused the audience into a general and
zealous acclamation. This appears to us to be
the right mode, for Richard has no reason to dis-
trust Norfolk, and he is in the midst of active pre-
parations for., the ensuing contest. The bustle
and animativujificr the tidings which induced
him to say",—,!,yhy, aye, this looks rebellion,"
were finelyits swtrast with thehuthour,the energy,
and the savage ;coldness of the preceding scenes,
and with the gloom that increased as the battle
approached. In the last scene he was tempted to
essay a novelty of which we do not approve, viz,
his throwing his sword in rage at Richmond, just
before his death, This action, we grant, may not
be inconsistent with the savage ferocity of the
character, and the fury of disappointment at such
a moment, but it is too pantomimic, and takes
from the dignity of the scene. We have only
to repeat, ,that •his performance was a masterly
specimen OF-the' art, and was ratified by the
warm and repeated acclamations of an audience,
who completely filled the Theatre. Mr, CoNwitlt
was somewhat too formal and sententious in
Richmond. Mrs. FAUCIT acquitted herself re•
spectably in Lad?' Anne. The Managers wisely
profited by the example of the other Theatre, in,
introducing the Ghosts without the trap-doors, and
in a kind of aerial vapour, which rendered them
picturesque and impressive.

Mr. KEMBLE, we understand, returns to a se-
cond engagement at Covent-Garden Theatre, im-
mediately after Easter.
Mr. and MiSS HOLMAN, with Mr. DWYER,
were last month performing their most popular
characters in New York.

Yesterday afternoon, ;,e-Acea'bie to the edjoUrn-
-et of !;aterdse there eeis a very- Nil atten-
' ere of the ee;ibeisete take into consideretion '
',insteps 51,001.11 he on the settling of
whicie,tehss piace e-rriorrOW.
i-letc•icic, who bad been appointed Chair-
ete, epee:3d thelorsiness in an eloquent" speech,
e;heed not the necessity tlicre was for Lily"'
s-sesqeet afair,-handid, and impartial hear-
;.dsSired that every individual who wished
hh; . . efireents might do it, and hoped the
-eidd give a patient hearing:-
' a:r Bien 'proposed (which was seconded by.
P. Richardson) e that instead..of the. Resoln-
rous etoeed hyMr.Ricardo on Saturday, that the
r;eA Should chew the public that they did not
'A,il to be the judges in their own • canse, but
ouldieave the whole to be sliscused by a Court
of !knout , composed ofewo persons on the part
or the Stock Exchange,' and two persons on the
pert of the S persone'stipposed to be, implicated,
with power -to cause 2 fifth . person as umpire,
should they
,not agree and the decision of the.
sardsteitirt of Honour, 'or a majority of them,
should determine whether the money should be
paidao:the.pers'ons at present implicated, or not.
Mr. F. BAILEY desired to know whether Mr.
Bish Was authoriied to say, that the persons at
present iniplihated Would agree tO appoint two
persons .
Mr. BISH said he was happy to mention, that
be was totaliy_unacquaipted with all the parties.
Mrs CHARLES Josiei-sort,
sin a speech of score
leneth, contended, that the Resolutions, as pro-
pOsed by Mr. Memel°, would be the means of
much confusion, and cause numerous inconveni-
eneies with Brokers settling with their principals ;
that slthough the House-seemed to deprecate the
annulling of bergains, Yet in fact it was the same
thing if he bad sold for as person, and was de-
tar fonts paying him by authority of a vote
of )-e House.
Mr. D. IrifCA:PDO, in itply, said no such incon-
venience conk! erise, because the Resolutions only
vent to regulate such bargains as were done for
pv'sotis at present implicated, or suspected Qf be-
ing rrivv to the fraud.
atomics-delivered his sentiments at some
letieqh, and completely approved of the original
Resolutions as proposed on Saturday.
Mr. T. differed with Mr. Higgins, and.
moved soo' *Resolutions as amendinents, in op-,
position to the on motions.
Mr. Bisr:r said, as the House seemed to think
Mr. likartio'sßesoiutions embraced their ideas,
he withdrew his motion.
• The fi r..J and second ReSolutions Were agreed to.
The third Resolution caused much debate from
a variety of persons, most agreeing that it was
proper the money should not go into the pockets
of the authors of the fraud ; but differing in their
ideas what steps- were most proper to pursue,
when
"4r,' C. JOirsrsoN moved to adjourn the farther
discussion of the subject sine die.
The question wasput on Mr. Johnson's motion,
and neratived.
Mr: DURRANT desired to know whether any
caiWlnced been taken relative to the bargains which
liaalbeen continued over for the April account ?
FEARN stated; that he had diet day closed
all bargains he had for April, and, as he thought,
by cousent.'of his principals ; but he had since
understood from them that they did not agree to
what he had done, yet he was determined on his
part to abide by it, and had made his arrange-
ments accordingly.
Mr. JONATHAN HOARE was for the decision of
the question being by ballot, instead of sbew of
hands, which was, over-ruled, as it was in most
public Societies usual, in the ,first instance, to
take the question by chew of haiths, and then, if
a doubt mole, to demand a 11111.0., •
The Resolution vas put and carriixd,
The next Resolution was also-ptit and carried.
The CHAIRMAN then addressed himself to the
~Titiorit desiring to know AvhOlker they were sa-
t .‘eied, that the questions had been carried against
these, to which
.they '.ssented.
Mr. SPICER then moved the thanks of the
House to the Chairman, for the zeal and great abi-
lity he had shown in the business of the day,
which was ,seconded by Mr. Bish, and carried
unanimously.
The Resolutions were then ordered to be stuck
up in the 'house, signed by the Chairman, as fol.;
lows
