THE HISTRIONIC CLUB.

This society gave one of their —usual ---monthly per-
formances at the St. James's theatre, yesterday evening,
when the favourite comedy of the Heir-at Law, and
Charles the Second were presented by the members to a
crowded audience, being for the benefit of Mr. Palmer,
the stage-manager, who sustained the part of Dr. Pan-
gloss, that glorious compound of oddity and pedantic
self-sufficiency with considerable success. The vulgarity
of old Dowlas, made still more apparent by his elevation
to rank and dignity, air. ,rdeci Mr. Peters an excellent
opportunity for display ; he seemed to revel in the
course humour of the whilom chandler, as contrasted
opuprosret uhuuiy
with the ludicrous attempts at good breeding on the
part of himself and his helpmate Deborah. Kenrick was
quaintly and happily rendered by Mr. Knight, with a
rich brogue and quiet power, that brought the old ser-
vant into a prominent position. Mr. Ogilvie's Dick
Dowlas was full of ease and spirit ; with considerable
good taste he brought into strong relief the livelier
portions of the dialogue, and subdued those
parts, where the superabundance of sentiment is apt to
pall upon the taste of a modern audience. Miss Hill's
Cicely was a carefully finished picture, both in dress and
expression, of the warm-hearted yet simple country girl
that the dramatists of Colman's school delighted to draw.
In the afterpiece the principal interest centred in Mr.
Kiddie's vigorous delineation of Captain Copp. To say
that this gentleman was eminently successful would be
to render him but scanty justice, as he pourtrayed the
burley, honest, old cruiser with a finish, and point rarely
achieved by an amateur; we can with safety assert that
since the time of Fawcett, the original representative of
the character, it has never been better sustained than by
Mr. Biddle.

CIRQUE NATIONAL DE PARIS, DR
TREATRE.—The benefit of Mdlle. Palmy
vre
Taglioni of the Cirque de Paris, took place on WednesdayAijipSYt-O",tNh:
evening last, and has been the moat splendid equestrian
fete of the season. The theatre was full, and the boxes
were crowded with a fashionable audience. More bou-
quets than ever were awarded to her on the occasion,
which, together with printed sonnets, were thrown in
masses about her feet. Mdlle. Anato will, we are cer-
tain, feel a grateful remembrance to the public of Lon-
don for this high testimony to her talent, beauty, and
virtue.
MARGATE, Mkßeu 29.—1 t appears on Friday night
instead of ono unfortunate vessel being lost with the
whole of the crew on the Long Sand, there were two
on the same sand the same night; one appears to be a
Dutch galliot, the other a Dutch ship, bound to Batavia.
A large quantity of the cargo of this wreck continues to
beu b
consisting of arrack, St. Julian claret,
m, candles, and different parts of the wreck. From all
r r:aungdilt in,
inquiries there is not the least doubt of the crews of both
the unfortunate vessels have been v,ll lost.
