THEATRE ROYAL, DUBLIN.
(From the Freeman's Journal of May 3.)
Were the audience at our theatre on last evening to be
taken as an evidence of the status and condition of our
people—if the glitter of the box dress circle, with its array
of beauty, and the clinquant and crimson of garrison cava-
liers—if the pit, with its critics and its crowded but decorous
and polite assemblage, and the galleries, with their throng of
happy faces—if all were to be received in the aggregate as a
specimen of the social aspect of our metropolis, how proud
ought to be our lot, how brilliant ought to be the city palaces
of our resident nobility and gentry, how gay the nightly festi-
vities of our leaders of the ton, how delightful the reunions
of our men of genius, how happy the firesides of the denizens
of humbler homes ; but, alas ! thus it is not, and in the noble
drama presented last night the audience, brilliant as it was,
might take to itself the adjuration of Macbeth—" Unreal
mockery, hence !" But, after all, the truest wisdom (when
things for the present can't be helped) is, perhaps, to grasp
the present delight and not allow the mind to wander from
the brilliant and gorgeous assemblage met to enjoy the
triumphs of immortal genius in the portraiture of imagined
horrors and stimulated passion to the stern realities of com-
mon place and unpoetic misery walking abroad even in our
city, and represented in the wan faces and emaciated forms
of which the titled and the wealthy few catch shadowy
glimpses as they step from the piazzas of the theatre into
their chariots, and are whirled off to their luxurious but
silent homes. To a stranger visiting Dublin, the aspect of
our theatre on last night might well afford cause of pleasur-
able and delighted surprise. Few evidences were there to
be seen of Irish poverty or social disturbance. Not in the
palmiest hour of Ireland's short-lived prosperity could her
metropolitan theatre have presented a scene more enlivening
and brilliant than was displayed in the crowded and gorgeous
assemblage of last evening. The boxes were filled with
elegantly-dressed ladies, intermingled with whose gay and
graceful groups flashed the scarlet and gold of the military.
The respected veteran, under whose auspices, and that of
his brother officers the performances of the night were
presented, was received, on his entrance, with cordial
and hearty indications of welcome and respect from every
part of the house ; and if any one feature could add to
the delusion of the passing happiness, and tend to re-
call memories of happier days in Ireland, it was that
the venerable Lord Plunkett was also present. On his en-
tering and also on leaving the theatre his Lordship was
heartily cheered. Of the performance of Macbeth by Charles
Kean, not a few of the critics of our Dublin theatre parterre
seem impressed with the opinion that it is his best Shake-
perian part. His readings of Hamlet have been highly eu-
logised by the notice writers of the London press. We had
the opportunity of seeing Mr. Kean's Hamlet during his pre-
sent engagement, and fount no difficulty in at once recognis-
ing the superiority of his interpretation of some passages, as
well as the naturalness, truth, and poetic consistency of his
conception of this high wrought creation of the great bard.
It somehow happened, that previous to last night we had not
seen him in Macbeth, and to speak the truth, Macbeth
seemed to us one of those characters least suited to the idio-
syncracy of him whose soul seemed wedded to the gentler
heroism of the philosophic Prince of Denmark—the chas-
tened and modest love, yet proud ambition of the gentleman
of nature, Claude Melnotte—the love-struck suavity of My.
Oakley, or the fond yet etherealised uxoriousness of Sir
WalterAmyot—in short,one would think, and almost say that
the character of him of Glamis and Cawdor, and then, by
murder, King of Scotland, would be rendered more truly by
an actor more given to the ranting mood (with even the
faults of rant) than by one whose forte seemed to be the ex-
pression of the gentler feelings, and the gentler characters of
Third
(but drama are Kean's best, marque his Richard the
(but that is a stereotype by his father). However, many
with ourselves were delightedly undeceived in Charles Kean's
personation of Macbeth on last night. The peculiar excel-
lence, of his acting was perceptible in several passages. No-
thing could be more beautiful than his rendering of the effect
of the demon remorse on the mind of the guilty chief, evinced
in the exquisite delineations of painful reverie and uncon-
scious abstraction, and the equally beautiful perception that
marked his rendering of the shallow disguises and vague
apologies Macbeth puts forward to hide his mental misery and
mask his guilty remorse. Kean's rendering of the ghost scene
was as superior as it was different from any previous concep-
tion that we have ever seen by any actor of this thrilling pas-
sage. Had we space or time we could recal numerous instances
in which Mr. Kean's deep study and admirable conception of
the author's meaning is apparent in his portraiture of Mac-
beth's character, but we can barely advert to one magnificent
iccident that must have smitten all with the conviction of its
truth and the beauty of its dramatic conception—the last
combat with Macduff and the dying scene. It smacked not
of the " minors," and mayhap was far too quiet for the
Adelphi audience, but it was truth itself from the conclusive
clenching of the hands of the stricken combatant to the un-
graceful but moribund attitude in which he falls, and the last
all but imperceptible convulsion of the limbs of Macbeth—
the felon chief—the foresworn knight and murderer king—
dies as ha lived, in truest character. Mrs. Kean's Lady
Macbeth was a noble impersonation of Shakspere's truest
meaning. If the praise appertaining to versatility of genius
applies to her husband, still more truly does it belong to her.
Who would recognise in the stern resolve and ultra-mascu-
line hardiness of moral courage and daring blood-guiltiness
of the Lady Macbeth of last night—the drooping spirit of
the gentle Viola—the fond aspirations of the love-sick Rosa-
lind—the arch innocence .of Beatrice, or the high wrought
fortitude and enduring love of Eveline Amyot ? We may,
perhaps, without affecting to remind any of last night's
audience of the widely-appreciated excellence of this match-
less actress, recal her magnificent rendering of the chamber
scene, where the troubled and guilty spirit wakes whilst the
body sleeps, and the remorseless and ambitious woman walks
forth in troubled slumber, and talks of deeds of blood. Few
will forget the thrilling effect of her startled and frightened
exit—

" To bed—to bed—there's knocking at the gate."
Tie audience seemed spell-bound, and forgot to applaud.
However, at the conclusion of the play the cheering of the
vast audience told how deeply all were impressed with the
magnificent acting they had witnessed. The cast of the other
characters was very well arranged, and it is only justice to
advert to the magnificent (we use the word deliberately) the
magnificent manner in which this drama was put on the
stage. The scenery was appropriate, the costumes were clas-
sically correct, and the subsidiary parts were filled with an
ability and correctness that reflects the highest credit on the
stage management. The after piece of Box and Cox followed
and it was a failure. As compared with its presentation at
the smaller theatre, it is not to be spoken of. The racy Cock-
neyism of Bedford was absent, and the best points of this
most amusing of nonsensical farces were lost, perhaps
through the fastidiousness of the performers. Bland seemed
ashamed of toasting his bacon, and Baker took his penny roll
from his pocket as if he had stolen it? in short the piece
was not played c#n amore, and consequently failed. However,
all were delighted with the general entertainments of the
evening.

SUDDEN DEATH of MR. HORACE

TWISS.

We regret to state that this gentleman expired yester-
day between the hours of two and three o'clock under
circumstances most painful to those who witnessed his
last moments. Mr. Twiss, as a member and proprietor
of the Rock Life Assurance Company, in which he took
great interest, was, at the annual meeting held at
Radley's Hotel, Bridge-street, Elackfriars, in the act of
addressing the chairman upon the general management
of the society, and although he did not appear to be in
the least excited, he was seen to falter and gradually sink,
and ultimately to fall down in his chair. Several of
his friends present removed him from the room, but in
the course of their so doing be expired without a
struggle. Mr. Farr and other medical gentlemen were
seat for, but, on their arrival, it was found that their
assistance was of no avail.
The Hon. Gentleman, it was stated, bad, for a long
time, been impressed with the idea that he should, one
day or other, die suddenly, as he laboured under the
frightful disease of ossification of the heart, and, strange
to say, within two hours of his death, repeated the
same fact.

Mr. Twiss was, in addition to his justly and well-
received " Life of the Late Lord Eldon," the author of
many valuable contributions to the quarterly and other
magazines. His body wilt be removed to his own resi-

after receiving an excellent
two or three years in an attorney'sa olgc'e,waansd then be-
came a member of the Inner Temple, and in due time
was called to the bar. He travelled the Oxford circuit
for some years, and became one of its most distinguished
leaders; but during the latter period of his professional
career he attached himself exclusively to the Equity
Courts. But his chances of success were materially les-
sened by his social, literary, and political cceolembpriotysi
the world are slow to believe that any man can be fi fortirosnts-
rate in more than one walk at a time. Mr. Twiss's
" Vera do Socilotf " and other light
were sufficiently popular in their day to earn
their author a place among the wits. He is
mentioned more than once in Lord Byron's jour-
nals from 1812 to 1815. But his chosen field of ambi-
tion was the House of Commons. Sheridan told Wood•
fall, when the latter intimated that in his judgment Par.
liamentary eloquence was not the youthful aspirant's
forte—"It is in me, and by G— it shall come out."
Mr. Twiss is reported to have given utterance to a simi-
lar consciousness of power, and many of his speeches
will be admitted on all hands to have gone far towards
the fulfilment of his pledge. At the conclusion of his first
speech on Catholic Emancipation, the Duke of Norfolk,
who had been seated under the gallery, requested to be
introduced to him, and thanked him in the warmest and
most flattering terms for his advocacy ; and the late
Lord Londonderry, an excellent judge, shook him cor-
dially by the hand, and said, " You may speak as often
as you like now, for the House are sure to listen to you."
His speech on the Bill for allowing counsel to address
the jury for the defence in cases of felony, was another
highly successful effort; and a speech in the Court of
Chancery is generally understood to have led, by the
powers of arrangement and reasoning displayed in it, to,
his appointment as Under-Secretary for the Colonies;
on the formation of the Duke of Wellington's Adminis-
tration, in 1828. But Mr. Twiss's Parliamentary
career was fatally interrupted by the Reform
Bill. Wootton Basset, the borough which he had
represented for many years, was placed in Sche-
dule A ; and although ho subsequently succeeded
in getting returned for Bridport during one Parliament,
he found it impossible to establish a durable hold on
the constituency. Nor was he more fortunate at Not-
tingham, Bury, and two or three other places at which
he subsequently became a candidate. His energies, how-
ever, were inexhaustible. Aide toi et Dieu eaidera, was
his motto. His fortune was limited; he had a family to
provide for; and finding his forensic gains inadequate,
he devoted his talents to the press. He hit upon the
plan now generally adopted, of giving a summary of
the speeches in the Houses of Parliament in addition
to the reports, and for many years he ably supplied
the House of Commons summary for our contem•
porary the Times. He was also an occasional contribu-
tor of leading articles to the same journal. Ho continued
to employ himself in this manner until he received (on

was grants )d, and also that we shall be saved harmless

A diabolic .lal project appears to be on the eve of
being carriec I into operation by the Governments of
the Northen Absolutists—a project for the trampling
out of Hung Irian liberty by an overwhelming in-
cursion of t ,arbarians from the dominions of the
AUTOCRAT.. After conquering the independence of
their native: land with a heroism and a military
sagacity srtc h as have been the admiration of Europe,
these glorious patriots are to be trodden down into
their former state of serfdom by being grievously
outnumbe red. Such at least is the intention of
the Imperial Cabinet at Olmuts, an inten-
tion eagerli r adopted by the congenial adminis-
tration of St. Petersburgh. Such at least
is the gtnstly revenge reserved to themselves
by the Aust Hans, still smarting (as they are sorely)
under the remembrance of their recent expulsion
from the different cities of Hungary. Their vindic-
tiveness, e a much as an anxiety for their own preser-
vation fro m destruction, prompts them to demand in
this ignoble manner the military assistance of the
CzAR. Fading that the auxiliaries already obtained
have been insufficient to preserve their " grand
army" from a succession of murderous defeats, see-
ing that the soldiers originally sent by NICHOLAS for
the retentionof Transylvania have been ignominiously
thrashed, as General BEM, the Hungarian Commander..
in-Chief hinsself expresses it, being expelled from Her-
manstadt and driven confusedly beyond the boun-
daries of Wallachia—young FRANCIS JOSEPH and
his statesmen find themselves reduced to the painful
and even degrading necessity of begging for more
help from the power of the AUTOCRAT. Russia, of
course, is only too heartily rejoiced to assume the
attitude of a Protector, and in so doing to participate
in the castigettion of races so long objects of extraordi-
nary harassment to herself. No less than 150,000 men
are to march across Lithuania, to aid in propping up
the crumblizig foundations of the Austrian empire.
Of these 100,000 are at once to be directed upon the
Hungarian and Polish provinces of Austria—upon
Gallicia and upon the country surrounding Buda
Pesth. Associated with the remnants of the army
successively commanded by WELDER and WINDISCH•
GRATZ, these mercenaries are to desolate, with fire
and sword, the land which during the last campaign
has been conquered, inch by inch, from
the Imperialists by its own children—the
land which, during the last seven months,
has acquired a novel and supplementary
glory from the conduct of the courageous patriots
who have fought for their rights and freedom, for the
rights gained by their ancestors and the freedom
cherished for their posterity. Under the benign in-
fluence of the Provisional Government, inspired by
the genius of Louis KOSSUTH, the Hungarians have
so done as to have pushed forward from the marshy
environs of Debreczin, to have gained one pitched
battle after another, to have routed the formidable
band of Croatians under Jeuacelicn, to have
taken the capital city, lying like a Siamese
metropolis on either side of the Danube, to
have defeated two of the most redoubtable soldiers of
a nation whose army had given to the world such
captains as WURMSER and the Archduke CHARLES,
as MONTECUCULI and WALLENSTEIN. Scarcely have
the Hungarians accomplished all this, scarcely
have they succeeded in compelling their as-
sailants to fly in dismay beyond Pres-
burg in the direction of Vienna, scarcely have
the Liberals of Western Europe heard the glad
tidings that Hungary is victorious, than a new and
sinister coalition is formed between the northern
despots—a coalition which threatens to crush
under the weight of two gigantic empires an inter-
mediate state which, contrasted with either one or
the other of them geographically, is of miniature
dimensions. There is to be, it seems, an end of fair
fighting towards Hungary. Up to the present time,
fair fighting has only proved disastrous to the ag-
gressors. A change in the system of warfare must
consequently be effected—the struggle must be
rendered altogether unequal. Hungary must be
placed at the mercy of Austria, and when, through the
help of Russian auxiliaries, the Hungarians are

By the perusal of the interesting communication
from General BEM published in another column—
a communication forwarded to Lord DUDLEY
STUART by Mr. COLQUIIOUN, the British Consul at
Bucharest —it will be seen how noble were the
achievements of the Hungarian patriots when first
confronted by the combined forces of Russia and
Austria, among the Transylvanian mountains. Let
us feel satisfied of this fact that, however gloomy the
prospects of their country may now appear, from
the approach of the soldiers of NICHOLAS, the co.
patriots of KOSSUTH have not lost any of that self-
reliance which has hitherto conduced to their triumph
under the banners of BEM and DEMIIINSKI. On the
contrary, let us feel sure of this —that their heroic
determination to stand or fall under the constitutional
banners, originally raised as far back as the twelfth
century, is unshaken—is not only unshaken, is con-
firmed.

Meanwhile, from the report given in this evening's
impression of the seventeenth annual meeting of the
Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, it
will be seen at a glance that the lovers of that brave
but unfortunate country are sanguine as to its
future destinies. Let the people of Gallicia
confirm those favourable auguries. Let Poland be
true to her past glory, and true also to the
fame of those daring Generals who, by heading the
Hungarian army during the last campaign, have
gained for the Polish tactics a brilliant and imperish-
able reputation.

If the aspirants for liberty, who are unhappily
situated in the immediate neighbourhood of Northern
Absolutism, be only true to themselves they may
even now " pluck the flower safety out of the nettle
danger," they may even now save themselves from a
common subjugation. This we maintain might
be accomplished in spite even of the
colossal armies of a Russo-Austrian coali-
tion. It might be effected by the Hungarians
still remaining true to the counsels of KOSSUTH, to
the banners of BEM, and to their own glorious re-
nown—by the Polish population rising in the rear of
the advancing troops of the AUTOCRAT-by the Turks
abetting the cause of the Moldo-Wallachians and
pouring down in a contrary direction the legions of
the crescent standard of MOHAMMED ! Let this be
done and terms shall not be dictated before Cracow,
or Pesth, or Bucharest, even by the united strength
of Austria and Russia. Let coalition be opposed by
coalition, and then Poland will be disinterred—
Constantinople will be secured from the ambition of
St. Petersburgh—and Hungary will be saved by her
heroic sons, led on by the sword of BEM, rid in-
spired by the patriotism of KOSSUTH.

Loot TO YOUR POCKETS—is the advertised advice
of a fashionable costumier in Regent-street, when describing
the new patented invention called Nicoll's Pocket Protector,
which is particularly addressed to the railway traveller as
applied to a Paletot, and the preservation of his railway
ticket. Perhaps but few are aware of the inconvenience that
may arise from the loss of this little bit of pasteboard; for,
upon many railways, the officials are by certain bye-laws
empowered to detain or give into custody the unfortunate
loser, should he not be prepared at once to pay for another.
