LAST night Captain FEATiONi who made s.id
a successful debut in Richard the Third last week,
repeated that charatler before a very crowded and
genteel audience. His representation lost night
fully confirmed the favourable impression which his
talents made upon us, and justified the report
which we made of his first essay. He is
perfedly original in his conception and. deli-
neation. of the diarader ; and we must repeat our
opinion, that he gives it better, upon the, whole,
than any Afton we have seen since,:the days of
OARIOCK. He is easy, natural, spirited, and
various. His fire.and energy indeed in the two last
Ads are admirable. We might find. faidt with an
emphasis now and then, but where there is so much
to praise in the higher.requisites for the charader,
we • should deem it unjust to carp at trifles.—
We.are decidedly of opinion, that if Capt. FEARON
means. to pursue the profession of the Stage, be will
become one of its greatest ornaments.
RAYMOND was the substitute for poor RABAT.

Covent-Garden.

Mr. CAlttts, who made his first appearance'a few
nillts ago in the charatler of Othello, resumed that
chariner last night at this Theatre, and with 'much
better • success than on the former occasion. He
delivered the text in a Mariner 'that •proved be- un.,
derstood it critically, yet his acing was marked
by strong feeling.: His figure is striking, and well
adapted to parts of the heroic kind. . His gesture
was more simple than on his first appearance, and
seemed to be more the effect of passion than of.
study ; yet it was by no means wanting in grace.
It was,. however, the unaffected grace of a Soldier,
who had " used his dearest ;taint) in the tented
field." His voice is powerful, and capable of 'va-
riety of tones, though not very musical. .
When we consider the difficulty attending such a
part as Othello, and that this Candidate really never
ventured upon theatrical boards before lie appeared at
this Theatre, we cannot but view his perturniance
as an effort of very promising ability, Mr.,CARL es
,is a Gentleman and a Scholar, and.,sinee he has de-
voted himself to the Stage, we doubt not that' the
Public will receive him with eneotyagirog kindness,
He is, we understand, a Pupil; of the veteran
HULL, 'whose good sense and experience qualify
him for the office of a theatrical Preceptor.
Mr. CARLIS received great api.lause, which was
evidently not the result of private friendship, but
of general approbation. The House was numerously
attended.

We have received Jamaica Paper: up to the
zoth of November. By theft) we learn, • with
pleasure, that the late rains in that Island had fallen
so seasonably, as to afford the most flattering pros.
pelt of abundant crops.
These Papers are entirely silent as tr) any landing
having been effehed by either the Spaniards or
French.

The new regulations which, by a Charter from
this Country, was to new model, in some degree,
the Municipal Laws of the Island of Jamaica, are

poetical talents. •

Mr. M'Aturttult is coming forward With a new
edition of his Financial anti Political Fans of the
Eighteenth Century, a work of considerable merit,
for the importance of the subjea, the force of the
reasoning, aad the industry and talents of the ingc.
nious Author.

Sir WILLIANr Piasows displayed great, modesty
in adapting the New.year's Ode to the Musk of
HANDEL, rather than employ his own talents in
original composition. The music of FLANPBL must
always please, but a Composer of such science, taste,
and sentiment, as Sir WLLLIAtt PARSONS, might
have been certain of exerting his own genius with
adequate success.
