TILE THEATItES.

COVENT•GARDENe-411% YOUNG, one of the
lest actors of the present day, last night resumed
iiikstation in this Theatre, as Sir Pertinax Mac-
sycophant in The Man of the World. The late
Mr. COOKE played this character with admirable
Lomotfri the part being well suited to his sarcastic
nature. Mr. YOUNG was not less prominent in
his personation, and was most deservedly ap-
ldeeded at his entrance and throughout his per-
formance. Both of these performers only wanted
the broad, imposing, form of MACKLIN, which '
Gape a burlesque dignity to the part that ren-
dered it peculiarly impressive. In 'all other re-
sPects'Mr. COOKE and Mr. YOUNG were equally
effective. The following anecdote is recorded
respecting this Comedy :—Mr. J censor', the
dramatic writer, once observed in the Green
ltoon of the Dublin Theatre, that the dialogue
ia this Comedy consisted of " mere common-
. Place satire, which any person might make in or-
dinary conversation." Mr. GRATTAN being pre-
ivith sarcastic mildness, simply answered
and thereby excited a general laugh
against his poetical friend.
Berfrakitxrr.—The Road to Ruin was repre-
sented bere last night, and upon the whole was
tespectabi,
supported. FARREN had a difficult
task ill following MUNDEN in Old Dornton, but
heitlici°ualy kept the outline of that excellent
Performer in view, and filled •it up with truth
. And feeling. Mrs. GLOVER is so good an actress,
and made so much of the Widow Warren, that, if
