TALLY-HO COTTAGE. -
The little village of Wem, in Shropshire; for the last four
months has been made very gay by the residence :of Mr.
BETTY (once the celebrated Young llosiius), at Tally-ho
Cottage. Ile is designated us Corinthian Tom, in the circle in
which he moves, from the variety of characters he assurnes.—'
' and the talents he displays in all of them. 'ln this respect he
has not the trick of the Stage, nor the aid of scenic embellish-
ments to deceive his admirers ; neither is his company confined
to the Peer or the peasant. This Corinthian has lots of Jerry.
Hawthorns in his train, and in the sports of the fields, Tom has
not been beaten by any of his neighbours. Tally-ho Cottage
is the centre of attraction for miles round Wem, not only from
the taste displayed in its erection, but from the fund of amuse.
meta which Its interior displays. Masquerades, illuminated
gardens, and petits souperi„ have again and again been given
to his delighted visitors. In one of the maSpera4s, its
,4 gay owner" personified twelve different ehttiathis.- Privat
plays have likewise been successfully performed under Mr.
BETTY'S auspices, for the National School at lireni. His
humane attention and liberality towards the poor people of
Went have made him equally conspicuous. The Corinthian
proves himself an expert fiddler with the ribbon*, and almost
daily mounts the box of the stage, and tools it in and out of the
above village in first-rate style. Tally-IM Cottage, is a coin-
Otte little sporting-box ; and to supply the deficiencies of
nature, art has been consulted to improve the effect, by giving
employment to numbers of poor persons in the neighbourhood.

him, of course, the hero of the piece was assign.
ed. As the part was intended to be fitted exactly
to his peculiar powers, he.supported it with his
usual success, and was very well received. This
actor excels in giving a pointed effect to. pas-
sages which those actors who take a cotnprehen.
sive view of a whole character generally pass
over ; and to this practice his fame may chiefly
be ascribed. Actori in getteral,bowever, may learn
from his success that they must direct -their
attention to whatever may enable -them to
make an impression on the audience, and there.
fore we find that his manner bus been adopted by
actresses as well as actors, who are at present on
the London Stage, and seldom without effect.
