:tithe honoured this Theatre with their presence,
They were received by an overflowing audience
with every demonstration of the most enthusiastic
loyalty. The Royal Party testified their whin.
Lion in the most gracisrusly condescending manner.
The performances were The School for Scandal and
Cbrierelia, which were supported with great spirit
by the respeftive Performers, who successfully ex-
erted themselves to give every effect to their cha.
rafters, " God 'awe rho Zing," and " Rule
Britannia," were sung in full chorus, the first on the
entrance of the ROYAL Nary, and the other after
the Play. THEIR MAJESTISS and the ROYAL
FAMILY looked remarkably well, and seemed great.

derick, in Laver"' Yaws. It was his fourth appear.
ance upon this stage, and his first in this character.
Here, as in his two former eharaclers, Rehm.? Ind
Norval, filial piety is the prevailing feature. Itiis,
indeed, more universally diffused and prominent
than in either of the former. It is, in f.iet, the sole
passion that fills his breast, unmixed with love, as in
dichntet, or a thirst for military glory, as in Yesag
Dorval, Here then, all the disadvantages .of Isis
early youth vanish. He is not called upon to pour.
tray any passion inconsistent with his years. Ilan
Attor be to draw from his own feelings, where can
filial affeilion burn with so much ardour as in the
breast of a stripling just old enough to acknowledge
the obligation of duty, superinduced upon the ins.
pulse of nature f Fancy cannot conceive u mote
beautiful pitiure of a fond and duteous son than the
portrait exhibited by this wonderful boy last night.

It was impossible to give more expression to the
sentence than he did.

Wa hasten to the great scene in the fourth aft,
With one preliminary observation ujmn the first scene

snipe refreshment for him, she tells him that the
mu, against whom he had lifted his sword WHY Baron
Wilienhaim, his father. The emotion with which
he delivered the words, " father 1" was
tably fine.

The scene with the Baron is, perhaps, one of his
best pieces of Ming. He encounters his father's
presence with a firm and steady eye ; not daunted
by'the haughtiness with which he is received, he
surveys the Baron with a feeling of deep indigna-
tion for his cruelty to his mother ; the keenness syith
which he probes; :the cool, cutting nature of his
rebuke ; the deep, increasing, awful interest of his
story :; the manner Well he al4rop., the eottseienee

He moved every Heart by the admirable patlini

' In the fifth aft theie is little for him to do--he
has bus one short scene with his father—heperfornat i
i it as well as it could be done. The part of Ftvdtrick
is less fatiguing than either Achmet or Neraud. In
justice to the Audience, we most admit, that this
ohservatian was frequently made. Although they
slid not feel any interest in the scene when he was
absent, they left A gratification from the long inter.
vats of rest which the Piece allows him.. Next to
admiration of his powers, if there be any one pte..:

dent it is a parental solicitude for his health, an
anxious wish for the safety of those uncommon ts.

But though the great in;ere.r of the Pied. dues not

fifth deserves particular notice :
