very favourable debut. This young lady is tall and fair,
with dark hair, a pretty face, and graceful figure. She
Played with much skill and feeling, and will, we think,
be an acquisition to the theatre. After the Jealous Wife,
a new piece, entitled Mr. and Mrs. Pringle, from the
Pen of Mr. DE TRUEBA, was brought out for the first
titan. It is one of the most spirited and lively interludes
we have ever witnessed, and cannot fail of bringing
its talented author yet more prominently than at present
into favour and popularity as a dramatic author. At the
commencement of the piece, tee find Mr. Pringle (Mr.
FARREN) complimenting himself on not having married
till sixty, and having now united himself to an elderly
widow with whom he may enjoy domestic felicity without
the fear, which in him amounts to an actual horror, of
being bored by a family. Mrs. Pringle (Mrs. GLOVER)

through whose means Mrs. Pringle finds herself obliged
communicate to her spouse the important secret that

even succeeds in obtaining his consent to bring her to
the house. She is scarcely gone, when he inadver-

informs his mother that he is in a spunging_house, and re-
quests her influence with her new husband to obtain his
liberation. His new daughter, Clarissa Robinson, is
scarcely in the house when she is fol:owed by her lover,
Brush (Mr. BALLS), who heaps insults and provocations
on Pringle till he discovers who be is, and then assumes
the character of a most pertinacious leech. Mrs. Pringle's
ton is next introduced, and on the old gentleman's inquir-
ing bow he got out of the spunging-house, his wife ex-
