THE THEATRE.

IfiTMAREET.---NYCIIERIEVII Comedy of The
Country Wife, too gross for the refinement of the
present age, altered and divested, to a great de-
free, of licentiousness in the dialogue, but still too
ree is the contexture of the Plot, was received
at this' Theatre on Saturday, under the title of
•TheCountrji Girl, a title which it has now borne
far many years. The occasion of this re-
vival was to Introduce a new actress in
the part •of Miss Peggy. Her name has
not yet been announced, but her performance
was so successful that, it. will of course soon be
given to the public. She is very young. Her
face is pleasing, if not critically. handsome. Her
voice is clear and well-toned. On her first ap-
pearance she was so terrified' that if Mrs. W.
CLIFFORD, who-performed the part of A lithea,
had sot restrained her with a kind assiduity that
does honour to her feelings, the fair debutante
Would probably have ran from the stage. The
Young Lady displayed an evident genius for
the stage by her performance of this character.
There was a playful simplicity, yet an archness
in her manner, that proved her full conception of
the character. Site was deservedly much ap
plauded. Her figure is neat, and rather below
the middle size, and she is really a very promis-
actress. COOPER was the most respectable
Ilan:owl that we have seen since the days of
Joux PALMER, but he looked too young to ap-
Pear Its the uncle of JOUNSON, in Bolvilte. 'Tie
Part of bloody, wp conceived, would be rather
abeet, the scale of WILLIAMii, but.he really per-
formed it with considerable ability, and onlyi
wanted a form large enough to give force to his
8, ?,r1 humour and the menaces resulting from it.
!louse was very well attended, and,the Co-
medy very well,received.
