.THE TmE4Tßzi—The New Tragedy of dide/githa•
which was represented last night at Drury-Lan.
Theatre, does. credit to the talents of the Author,
Mr, LEWIS, and nut less so to his liberality in as!
signing it to Mrs. POWELL for her Benefit. On this
occasion her own performance was very ant*
mated and affeaing in the Heroine of the Piece.
Great praise is due also to ELLISTON, as well a
to Ntr..:: and .Mrs. H. SIDDCNS for their respective
exertions. Indeed, though much accuracy is nog
usually expeited on Benefits, the Play was altao
gether so well brought forward, that we conceive it
may be repeated with considerable success. MO'
POWELL was very warmly received by Ittcr
and the audience in general.
