THE TrIEATRE;

. ,
INIFPCETT last niritrt np-
Peared at this Theat!:e as Pet:it:Lin, hi. is 514,n,taineers, and found :an abundant recompene! for
_the ill-treatment whidi he had experienced On hip
first pertormance, in tine iealow, and repeated
ApplAttcr of a very numerous audience. Ile ,snp-
ported the part of Octavian with great .feeii'ng
throng-hour, but not without some of those pe-
cnliarit,ies which marked_ his first pertormance.
nis pauses were too long, and his action redun-
dant. He, however, had 'evidently,availed hum-
sulf of public crticistn, .as Well as of the objec-
tions implied, in the savage • hostility directed
against hinn „in his Richard. Tine part of Octavian
admits'of great latitude, both of expression and
deportment, considering his supposed situation,
and the state of his mind, and therefore, much
.allowance must be made for what would appear
excessive in characters acting upon the ordinary
impulses of mankind. The wildness and the
energy of .this frantic Lover were
.well !given
by Mr. T+lcrwErr, except, as we have said, that
there was
.too much protraction in his pauses,
and in the lengthening of words.—He was ob-
viously-wrong in one point, for on seeing Agnes
for the first, time, Inc manifested as much plea-
sure because she was a woman, as if she had been
his adored Floranthe, and, consequently, he les-
sened the effect of Iris surprize and rapture when he
'actually saw the latter. But his,performance was
highly respectableL and received hearty and rei-
terated applauses, Without the least indication of
a dissentient feeling. ltussELL was very lively in
Sadi, FOOTE very impressive in Buicazen, a-nd
Liars AY diverting in In:Unita/00c. Indeed the
play altogether was %veil supported.

VAN fiIIYSOI
Hits tiro pictures of Fruit and Flowers, and
though we may exclaim, with THomsoN-
6, Who can paint
Like Nature?—Can
Aniid its gay ervation, Cues like hers ?
can it mix them with that matchless skill, •
And lose thew in each other, as appears
I'l I every bud that blows ?"

Yet if any man were ontitJed to answer the
poet's question in the affirmative, it would surely
be VAN HUYSLIM. No Artist in this timid:4ler (be-
cause less intellectual) class of the Art, has ever
approximiited more nearly to a perfect imitation
of the'be'autiful colouring•ot nature, exempraied
in her richest and roost delicate productions.
