WESTMINSTER SCHOOL.

The King's Scholars last night represented the
(Pt IEhINCE, then- final pelfollelittiCe
previous to the Cliristulls vacation. kne audi-
ence comprised many person's of the h;ghest rank
and fishion.

The AA dria was excellently performed. Too
much praise cannot be given to the Stino of Mr.
Du tiDAs ; hiS description, in the first scene, of the
circtu which hi had noted atllie funeral of
Chrysis, was very beautiful ;—his performance, in
the third scene of the fifth act, Nviiere Simo's in-
dignation is poured forth against Paniphilos. with
all the sternness of paternal rage, was most foreo-
fully acted, and drew down thunders of applause.
Mr. KING'S Pamphilus deserves the warmest
praise; he delivered the'dYing words of Chrois,
when she entrusted Gyceriva to his care,
in a most effecting and impressive manner. Davits,
the arch and cunning servant, who finds, in the
end, that 6' to be busy is sonic danger," was very
well represented by Mr.. BovaNK. His affected
ignorance in the first scene with Sinzo-
Davas sum, non (Edipus"--..
vras uncommonly good c and his side remarks were
throughout given with
.the strongest effect. In-
deed the whole of the, characters were performedin a stifle that reflats great credit on the general.
discipline of the school, as well as on the abhities
of the your.g Gentlemen.
The Prologue '.vas spoken by Mr. BERNARD, the
Captain of the School. As usual, it adverted to
origin of those yearly exhi)itions ; and in ti
very neat Limbic*, defended the:cirstom. Tire Epi-
logue is a very humonrous production. It consists
of a dialogue between Messrs. BOOnst and E.
WILLIAMS, as Duvus and Crifi; which i• com-
menced by an inquiry, on the part of tire former,
as to the means' by which the latter intends to
surprise the public. He asks whether 'Crito
has got a salamander, a lady who can bathe
to fire, or an Indian Juggler, who can s vallow a
sword, to create astonishment 'cieito, who pos.
senses none of these, at once declares himself a
Craniologist—and his exemplification of Dr. Gall's
system, which is amusingly satirical Created great
laughter.
