THE THEATRE

Drtiry-Laite,,

The iftinter';. Tale maintains its -attrattion at this
Theatre, and was last night atternie.l by a very
large audiente.--i—The beauties of the piece, the
merit of the perlormanc'e, and the splendor which
marks its 'revival, will indeed Sufficiently account
for its popularity. The appearance of KEMB"Le
anal Mrs. StUroukiS in a new point of view, has no
doubt a considerable, share in the .attradion.--'.
KrmD LE in noCliarafler exerts himself with more
zeal, judgment and perseverance than in Leolltes-;
and Mrs-. SinDaiis in flermione is not less effeaive.
Her last scene is equal in pathetic interest to any of
her performances. The new i'erdita does not im-
p'ro've sOinuch as We 'eXpened.- She has'not acquired
a sufficient degree of firmness to bring 'forward her
powers, and to enable Criticism to augur SOIIVICh
in her _favour as it is tempted to do by the chaftnt
.of her person.

CoVent-Garden.

The Comedy of The Man 'of the World wt!'s
repeated last night at this Theatre. Cooxt per-
formed Sir Pertinax with considerable skill. His
assumption of the Scotch dialed, though close, is
a subordinate merit. He supported the charafter,
such as it is, _with force, spirit, and liitrioUr. But
his excellence in Sir. Arch.y, prepared the Public to
exped the great merits which he exhibits, in Sir
Per: Max.

Mr. SIDDONS for the first time assumed the part
of Egerton, 'but he has been ton 'Tuna uses' to
'Tragedy to appeal' with sufficient ease in charfiers
of familiar life. He expressed the 'emotions of the
part with suitable energy and feeling, biit his gene-
rid demeanour was redundant and theatrical.

The Man of the World is a drama very well suited
to a"mixed audience, but it is rarher'coarse than vir
gorou's. Its observations, sentiments, and inura-
litY, are in general mere common-place, and are
obviously the result of a mind fraught with exile.
rience, but not guided by penetration. It abounds
too much in political passages, for the Stage. S,;',me.
of these passages were last night applied by the au-
dience to the present state of parties, and the acc:i.
dental coincidence excited two or three bursts of
laughter.

We ought not to let Mrs. GLOVER pass without
a commendatory tribute. Her`Lady Lurnircourt
was a very spirited and interesting performance.
This Actress deserves to be brought iorward oftener,
for the credit of rue Theatre, and .the gratification
of the Public. The audience, though nor crowded,
was nunaetous, and the Play .was very well received.

applause. The aiidience was genteel, but by no

Vie. Pxtsct was at the Opera on Tuesday night.
The DutChess of BUCCLEUGH is amongst the
number of our Nobility who give Balls in honour
of the Peace..

The Balls- in honour of the Peace, will bye .arid
bye be as numerous as the balls used in a general
action at sea. They have ooe thing in common,
though so very unlike—from the state of the wea.
cher there will be as warm work at one as there
used to be at the other.

Mrs. ORBY HUNTER'S Masquerade, though
numerous, must necessarily be sehei, as no person is
to be admitted who does not bring a ebaraaer to it,
The quarrel between the LORD MAYOR and the
Sheriffs we hope 'is not of such a deadly nature;
but that it may be accommodated over a Turtle and.

A very carious occurrence took place a day or
two ago inPortrnan-square. the preparations,made
at the hotiie of Tvl. CIL-ro for the general Illumina-

offensive word to be removed, and that of Alltity is
substituted in its place.

A great match at. Whist is shortly to be played
at the \Vest End of the Town, for the sum, exclu-
sive of bets, of sobol. '
Yesterday a great match of Tennis was playeii
in o,:endon-street, between Mr. Barceloa and
Phil. the Marker ; considerable sums were pending
on the event, which terminated in favour of the
fdViner.

Goodwood Races will be well attended next week,
Much sport is expected,'•

Much used to he said formerly against young men
rising up to high rant in the army, hut even in the
worst of times, in this respest, we never heard of a
Lieutenant Colonel at fifteen, which a czyon/d.be
Baronet asserts himself to have been, but which
fortunately nobody can believe.

The Person assuming the title of doubtful

JoHN's Baronet.

Yesterday W. Webb, a blacksmith, was tried at
the Westminster Sessions, upon an indiftment for
throwing a quart 'bottle out of the gallery at CoVent
Garden Theatre upon the stage, which struck Mr.
.Betterton while be was performing; for which he
was found guilty, and the Court sentenced him to
three months imprisonment in Bridewell.
Six Journeymen Shoemakers were last week con-
vifted before the Rev. CHARLES PR ESC(); Clerk,
and HoLL4Din WATSON, Esq. at Stockport, of
having, with other journeymen shoemakers, corti-
bined together to advance their wages, contrary to
At of Parliament. Three of them have in coue_

of Corredion for two months, and the other three
to the Caitle of Chester for the like period,
