and murdered by Macaire and Landry, who stip-
pose theinselveg Secure from detection ; but the -
faithful Doe of Aubri, .who had attended his nuts-
ter on lis journey, flies to the Itin, where the
whole party had lodged, and ringing violently at
the door, brings out the landlady, Gertrude (Mrs;
DAvEkPORT),- whose lanthorn he seizes, and
leads her to the place where his master was inter-
red. On their return), and-when universal horror
has been excited by the murder,- the Dog scents
tiw pocket-book and a purse, wh'ich had been en-
trusted by ilubri, under the presentiment ef•
ing in the duel, to Florio (Miss 13ooTn), a dninb
lad, to convey to Paris. Hence Florio is seized;
tried, -and ordered for execution, us the- supposed
murderer. The belt of 'iliacaire, stained with
blood, is fonnd in tile Forest,' and -the fury with
which the Dag follows hint, leads to, suspicion
ag,'ainst ; and after other circumstances, 111 ct•••••
wire is induced to acknowledge his crime. , Ifc is
ordered for execution, but escapes front his ga-,rd,
and is -shot 'in the pursu.t.—Notio is united to
Lltr. lie, grand-daughter of GertrUde, both of
whom had taken a strong -interest in 11,s fate
and the piece
_concludes. Such is the outline
of the fable.— It is evident • that . there is
-
a wait of due poetical justice,
not die, as Le ought to do, by the ltaltll of lie
executioner ; and Londry, his aCconipliee in the
crime, and who .having no provokation, is
mourously styled in a morning, priu'r, afz amateur
nwrderer, is not punib'ed at all, though he is Ole
greater villain of the two. The death, too, of
Aubri, a virtuons,character, is another violation.
of poetical justice.—But it is almost ridieuloys to
enter into. it formal commentary of Mich- prodoc-
tiolls.—lhe Dog was the chief kero of the piece,
but if was somewhat ludicrons to hear this-insig-
nificant•POodle called " a destructive animal;'-• in
excuse for Mucaire's haring run away from him,
as FABLEY could have destroyed hhn in a mo-
mei:L.—The acting was uniformly good, particu-
larly that of Miss BOOTH, ABBOTT, Miss FooTi:,
and LISTON. The piece was, perhaps,. not
the indebted for success to the redundant flaxen
wig of the latter.

The music is .very creditable to Mr. Btsuor.—
We cannot conclude without entering onr pro-.
test again against the introduction of futv-tooted
Performers in -the theatre, as- it is a degtadatUM
of the British Stage, which can .boast of being'
supported by the best dramatic Poets ‘vho ever

existed, and is not in „ant Of excellent performers
in both departments of the histt ionic art.—The
Piece was ‘vcil received by a crowded audience,
and announced for repetition on Monday.
