THE THEATRE..

Hay-maritt.
T t-t e Tragedy of Hamlet was represented on Sa-
turday last at this Theatre, for the benefit of Mr.
TURNE R. This Gentleman, who renounced the
Bar fur the Stage, made hi, debut 1 few seasons ago at
Covent Garden Theatre. He possesses an agreeable
person, and with the advantage of a much better
,education than usually belongs to the theatrical
fraternity, has powers vet y wed calculated to raise
him to a conspicuous rank in his new profession,
His performance of Hamlet manifested a w ell. discs/_
ed conception of that very arduous character, and in
many parts of it he displayed origioal merit.
The soliloquies were all dcliv,,•red with impres-
sive energy, and " in the whirlwin I of passi.,,,,t,
every word he uttered was distinaly heard. The
instructions to the Players are generally given ith
too sententious a solemnity. Mr. TuRNEit (cli-
vered them with great judgment and ease. In the
wild scene with Opbeila he was not so rough in his
manner as Hamlett generally are, but spoke to her
" rather in sorrow than in anger," and seemed
evidently desirous to convey the idea of latent
tenderness towards her under all his assumed in-
sanity. He was also agreeably playful with bee.
during the scene in which the mocktragedy is
introduced.

Several passages seemed to be conceived by Mr.'
TURNER in a manner different from the traditional
mode. They did not, however, appear like studied
refinements, but the suggestions of an inquiring are
fiehimself
timind.Upon the whole Mr. TURNER
acquitted in a very able manner, and such
as gives him a fair claim to a permanent footing on,
the London Boards.

The part of Ophelia was represented in a very
interesting style by a Miss RoAcH, who was very
fivourably received throughout her performance.—
PoL”riris was performed in a very respeCtabic manner
by a Mr. llAwsoN.
The King was determined not to lose his lire
without a struggle, and theref intairmi a con.
test with Hamlet, and when at last subdued, decent.
iy retired to die behind the scenes. The Pllyer
King, on the other hand, alter being poisoned in
the garden, remained very comfortably dead in his
atm-chair, when the Court removed, and during
the subsequent scene between Hamlet and firatio.

The Ei )use was very well attended, particularly :he
lower boxes, which Nere crowded. Mr. TURNER
was very warmly applauded during the whole of
his performance, and though much of the approba-
tion he received was doubtless the effea of friend.
ship, tier that approbation was decidedly and
ly confirmed by the general opinion of the audience.

The Cabinet was represented on S.curday\last at
Covent-Garden Theatre, and nil attemit-d. IN-
ct.tooN introduced a new song, and Silt FLD'S
popular air The Thorn, both of which he sung well.
BLVERLEY performed BLANCHARD'S charad,r, but
by no means with equal effect.
The Priniecors of Dr try-lane Theatre think so
well r;1 CHERRY'S new Coined), that, in cohfi fence
of its success, they have purchased it of the Author
'at a iiheral price.

IJOLMAN'S Comedy is soon to be brought for.
ward at, Covent Garden Theatre. The report of
hii friends, who are by no means indfferent judges,
is highly in its favour.

FA we ETT, it is said, is already busy in pre-
paring a Pantomime Ballet for the Haymarket
Theatre next season.

The name of the Composer who is preparing the
Music for the Seriocomic Pantomime of Valentine
and Orson, forth-coining at Covent Garden Theatre,
is JOVE. The Public, therefore, may exped some
thundering, particularly as the Composer is a Per.
former on the Double Bass.

Two journeymen Carpenters were brought up on
a charge of committiug an offence which is too fre-
quent among the workmen of that trade, nomely,
chopping up good materials, and carrying them
away with theit chips.—The tvias clearly proved
to have been committed in a building near Chelsea
Church, where they were employed ; but both the
master carpenter and the builder gave the men such
an excellent characler, that they were liberated, on
condition that they should inform their fellow-work-
men that it was through, lenity alone that they
escaped punishment.,

ant by his answer stated, that the bond executed by
Simpson was not for the payment of any sum of
money, in consideration of hiS being appointed to
the command, but that he should resign the com-
mand of the ship at the end of each voyage if re.
quired, and that he should not, interfere in soliciting
for, .or appointing to any command in the said ship.
That he was entirely ignorant on what terms Simp-
son was appointed Captain by Mitchell, and that he
continued him merely beevse he was in the com-
mand. He also stated that all accounts between
the Plaintiffs and him had been settled and adjust.
ed, aml the Charter Party given no and cancelled.
He denied that; Simpson CNC!" paid him 'cool. or
'any other sum of money, as stated in the Bill, but
that the same was advanced to him merely as a loan,
which he had accordingly repaid, and he stated that
lie had appointed the Purser and the other Officers
of the ship without any gratuity, fee, or reward
whatsoever. - -
Captain Simpson, on his examination for the De-
fendant, positisip!y denied that he ever advanced any
sum of money to the Defendant by way of loan, or

that there are circumstances enough in this case to
decide against the Defendant, notwithstanding the
circumstance of there being, duly one. Witness. Let

Plaintiffs, with interest thereon while he had it in
