ColliT+GAntms.—As the present period is
It't prolific in dramatic genius, the Managers
!wilely direct their attention towards the fathers
English Comedy, who flourished in former
11)011 particularly in the age of IiLIZABETH and
'OW 'the First. WILLIA)I ROWLEY was not
°lll/ a player in those times, but an author of
4gleiderable merit, and highly esteemed by his
rilli'lltitors for personal qualities as well as for
mastic talents. His play entitled A New Won-
let) a Woman Never Vex', was revived last
tight: under the title of A Woman Never Vext,
14 Widow of Cornhill. We see no reason
,n 7 the old title should be discarded, as it
„ileidres "ald he

NI the title of the Play is doubtful, it may be
