THE THEATRE.

COVENT-GARDEN.—The historical drama. of
Henry the Eighth Was last night brought forward
at this Theatre in a manner worthy of its intrinsic
excelknce. The part of Henry is not only well
conceived by Mr. EGERTON, but admirably per-
formed. He takes complete possession of the
audience, and presents u very impressive portrait
of the turbulent Monarch, softened as his quali-
ties are by the flattering skill of the courtly
Poet. The modest dignity of Cromwell found a
suitable representative in Mr. C. KEmar.i, end
his manly fervour in reproving the oppressive
cruelty of the Bishop of Winchester was forcibly
impressive. We were surprized yesterday nt
the observation of a diurnal Critic, gene-
rally acute and judielous, who, in paying
a due tribute to the Young Mirabel of
this Actor, the most general in merit now on the
stage, spoke of the " lacrymose effeminacy of cer-
tain of his tragical performances." This obser-
vation, if just, is what was indeed wholly un-
called for on the occasion. The Jqilier of
this Actor is the only performance of which
such a remark is susceptible, and then it is
applicable to the nature of the character
rather than to the manner in which it is re-
presented ; but it might be thought that the
Takonbridge, the Mark Antony, the Macdtfif,
the Hamlet, and other performances of the same
actor would have secured him from so unneces-
sary an attack on his professional character.--Mr.
YOUNG excels in daring characters, and therefore
if Wolse,y is not equally suitable to his
powers, he must be admired for the skill
and judgment with which he adapts his
talents to a part that is not immediately
Within his Sphere of action. Mrs. OcirLytE,
if not possessed of commanding powers, in per-
son, deportment, and judgment, renders berselt
a very useful actress, and her performance of
Queen Katheilint altogether was. very creditable
to her talents. The processions, scenery, show,
&c. with which this Play is brought forward, and
the general merit of the acting, produced warm
and reiterated applause front a large though not
a crowded audience.

HUNTING.
The EIVIt SIMEX Fox.lumds /net at the Devil's Dyke, near
Brighton, on Monday last ; and soon after a fox was tinken-
nelled to a brilliant field of one hundred and twenty sportsmen.
Reynard, for some time, bung about the gorse, but at length
dashed for Perchin-bill, passed over it, and descended to Alrhite
Lotbottom, crossed i,, and made away for Portslade. Turning
short to the right, ere he had reached the latter place, he stood
for Angleton, with his brush in danger. Neat Angleton,
Church, the dogs ran into him, and terminated the only chnee
of the day, which had been a severe one, and occupied a apace
of ninety minutes.

MATCH TO KILL ONE HUNDRED HEAD OF

GAME 1N TWO DAYS.

Captain Smith's match to perform the above task for one
hundred sovereigns, took place an Monday and Tuesday ; the
former day on the Frampton Manor, Essex, and the second
day from C,ollier's End, Ilertik. lie was to bag his game with
one brace of dogs and a spaniel in seven hours each they. On
Monday he fell into good sport, and killed seventeen brace of
birds, eleven hares, two brace of grouse, and six brace of Oen.
santts, making sixty-one, front eight o'clock till half-past three.
On the second day he fell in with some very good pheasant
shooting, in the liue of woods towards Bunting ford, and he
/tilled eleven brace in the first three hours. The day's produce,
in addition to the pheasants, was fourteen brace of partridges
and six hares, in six hours, making tifty.six.—Total, one bun-
tired and seventeen.

An nrder was last week received by Admiral
Sir IL lim.r.ows:t.t., commanding at Chatham, to commission
the Maidstone, Undaunted, and Lively frigates. They arc
accordingly getting ready as fast as possible.—(Maidstone
Paper.) _

Thy, Board of Trade, we understand, is oecu»
pied with the consideration of the intricate state of the Fishery
Laws, with the design of simplifying and restoring them to
efficiency ; but there arc many difficulties to be overcome, not
generally known on the coasts.
