THE THEATRES.

DRURY-LA N.B.—The Tragedy of Tamerlane vv. is
represented last night, before a very numerous
audience, at this Theatre. It has been revived
with great magnificence in costume.. The dresses
of the chief characters are superb, and the pro-
cessions were slimy and impressive. Mr. KEAN per-
, formed the part of Jiajazet, and as fat as a just con-
ception of the character, and strong expression in
ibe delivery of several passages are considered,
he -acquitted hizns. if in such a manner as by no
means to impair his reputation. The chief defect
was the want of figure to give a due personation
of a- haught) and ferocious tyrant, to whose
. person even To Jner lane, with all his moral qua-
lities, might be sppposed inferior, in a kind
of tremendous dignity. This defect was , the
more observable on. account of the superior figure
a.:A.iijoJ:e commanding' gesture of POPE in Tamer-
lane. Fader this disadvantage Mr. KEAN exert-
ed himself with great effect. He was very much
ap.2lauded, particularly as it .was apprehended
that he would not perform, from the appear-
ance of Mr. RAE, after the first Act, to
apologize for a cold ' under which he stated
that Mr. KEAN laboured, though he vi-ould do
best to prevent disappointment. Nee: has
seldom' aPpeared to so much advantage' as in
Tamerlane: He was animated, dignitied, and
iin,u-essive., RAE was highly respectable in
illniie6es, and gave .several of the passages
iii a very affecting- manner. He was parti-
cularly- tpiriteir in his `oscines with Bajazet.--,,

COYENT-GARDEN..The return of Miss STE-
rito&s last night, as Polly, in The Beggar's Opera,
Was greeted by the audience in the most grati-
fying, manner. health seemed -to be perfectly
restored, and'she.siilig admirably. SINCLAIR was
more easy in Macheath than Could reasonably be
expected; he sung with great spirit : he did not
appear among the. Gang at their convivial table,
as usual ; why; we know ndt. .

EXQUISITE CRITICISM.---." Mrs. BARTLEt* in
Arpasia, was more than usually.. impressive. Her
dress was rather Roman than Ottoman, and her
arms were covered over with net, which in her
convulsive emotions, deprived her at the aid of
arterial expression."—AßTEßtAL ExPaassiox !!
No wonder the political information of the Chro-
nicle goes to wrack, when its Editor has gone to
'the Theatre (tide apology air blunders about
South American geography) to look tat• -arterial
expression !!

The pious Louts has, it is observed, in some Of
the Papers, appropriated a sum of money to pro-
cure,' by The of masses,: the .removal ot his
bhithir frthit purgatory. Perhaps it would be as
well to ca,Vie the,Royal sinner' (as they acknow-
ledge,bitn to he, by aS6 ig:ting him his present ie-
sideneo where he is, lest (as Doctor O'LEARY
said try irkh Bishop) he might go farther. and
fare worse."---(Morning Chronicle).
