The plot: consists -of embarrassments arising
from a breach of duty on the part of a married
couple. The husband (Dorrington), desirous of
engaging in a party of pleasure, and pretending
he NIIIS going to one of humdrum business, and
the lady (Mrs. Dorrington), promising not .to
visit -the house of a lady (Mrs. Dashmore), to
%those character the husband objects, but to re-
main at home on that evening. It happens that
•they both visit the same place, but luckily
do not meet, though the wife sees and witnesses
the gallantry of her husband. She has been
subject to the amorous advances of a young
man of fashion (Sir George • Fuddle), and
being anxious to reach home before her husband,
she'is conveyed there by her cousin Forrester,
who had tempted her husband to the party, and
introduced hint under the name of Jenkins. The
contrition .of Mrs.• Dorrington for having 'visited ,
a prohibited place, yet the desire of reproaching
her husband for his deception.and gallantry, and•
his difficulty to conceal his own visit to the same
spot, occasions many very diverting perplexities,
n Mich, however, are satisfactorily adjusted in the
end, and perfect harmony is restored. 'This very.
diverting Drama is attributed to Mr. POOLF, the
.Author of Simpson and Co.; and it will not detract
from but rather increase the reputation which his
former works of a similar description have justly
enabled him to acquire. The dialogue is perhaps a
little too long in some parts, and there is too vin-
dictive a spirit given to Mrs. Dashmore, formerly
Mrs. Mortimer, which might easily be softened
into a sportive and frolicsome mood, particularly
,as she appears to be good natured in the end.
Put the Piece altogether is one of the most en-
tertaining. that we have for a long time attended,
and it derived all possible advantage from the.
acting, particularly that of DOWTON, VINING,
RAYMOND (a 90D of the late Mr. RAYMOND., of 1
Drury-lace Theatre), Mrs.. DAvisosi, and MrS.
GLoven. It was received throughout with uni;.
versal applause, and was announced by DowTox 1
for repetition with the unanimous and hearty
assent of n' very numerous audience. This
amusing and successful- addition to the dramatic
stores of the Haymarket Theatre was followed •
by the Comedy of She Stoops to .Conquer, gene-
rally well supported, but .particularly by Dow-
TON'S liar dcastle, Mrs. II umuv's- Mi,s. Ilard-'
castle, and the Mrs. fiardcastle of Mrs. GLovEn-,
who for the first time appeared in an elderly
part. She is at present one of the very best co-
mic actresses of the passing day, and we are glad
to see her beginning to prepare herself for cha•
ratters which will be most suitable to her future
time of life, to which she will, of course, bring
all the advantage of experience, knowledge of
1 life, acuteness of observation, and comic spirit,
that have invariably marked her acting, and
thereby secure a permanent station at any The-
-1 etre that is conducted with, taste and judgment.

Duke BELLUNE is resolved to call upon the Chamber of
