Great boom, 11.Tx$'s Theatre.
LAST night TA silt MAI esits, and three of the
PRINCESSBV) honoured this Institution, with their
presence, being, the first .Concert ,of
Thelarl of CHESTERFIELD, Director.. The Se-
leftion was made with great judgment. HANfret.
furnished the Principal materials. ,The- Chorusses
under the direttion,of Mr. OREATOREX, had.arople
justice done theta, Mr. CRAMOt -led with his ac.
customed spirit and'attention. Mrs. Bit.tttNGTON,
IARRISON, and BARTLEMAN, exerted their charm-
ins talents very successfully. The former was en—.
Cored in ANDRL'S 'celebrated Song, "'Paseomil ye
hsrpid sitrings and floods,".
,and perhaps iris not as.
setting too cinch to say; she never sang with more
eked. This Musical treat concluded with the
grand Chorus from the Messiah, " Ilalleluje
the Lord Cod Qrsnipotent reigneth."

"hip Gentleman who assumed the difficult part
of 11:tinler last night'. at thii. place, is, we under.
stand, Captain CAuLFIELD, late of the Guards,
whope theatrical talents have several times been
tiled with success in private Dramatic Entertain.
"*Tt His figure is.slender, but well formed—His
face is not unpleasing, nor, incapable .of, expression.
His voice is delicate,: and;at times somewhat fetni.
nine. His action was rather unaffected than digni.
fied,

His conception of the part; on the whole, seemed
to he just, and. his performance was marked by an
original .spirit. He certainly did not copy the
owner of 'any Performer On the Stage. But thotigh
hii'.outline Was, altogether cOtred, it was not
strettglrdrawn; To adopt the language of. the
Painters) his manner was much too :Maly, There
Was a lightness bordering too much on frivolity for
Character so dignified, so intelligent, so philoso.
rhic, so acute, as Hamlet. But with much, levity
• there was also much good sense in Captain Cditit..
firLD's ading, and it was'. ar beyond 'anything
we have seen even among Dilettanti Performers.
'there was rather too much writhing in his ge-
neral deportment ; and when he delivered any sar-
castic or disdainful passage, the expression of his
Countenance was by no means elegant. andcourtly.
He addressed himself too .much to the Audience,
particularly in what is called the by. play. He was
attentive 16 every thing that passed ulion the Stage
Ilthitive to his own chatader, and gave proofs of
judgment, ability and .knowledge much above most
of the 'yoUng men of .his time. of life now on the
Stage. ' •
The house was not crowded, but the audience

tlemen-Vvere present,: The neitifatfilet was •very
well received, and in several pa'ssages .very highly
applauded.

'the D116.0f NORTHUMBERLAND, WIICD at 113t11,
a few weeks ago, presented a Bookseller* with zool.

And leave the World to Solitude and me.

May seem our leading ,Patriots to retain,

Amid our Tavern crowds, and Clubs spied,
WhO fortn.'d full many a Gallic scheme for. pow'r,

How did they bawl in Co.? sti..HAo (kJ field,
How laugh'd the Mob at every Iticknei'd joke !
Let not the Placeman their distress deride,
• Their shifting life, the hardship's, they endure ;
Nor Ministry behold with lofty pride. ,• .
The hopeless horrors of the patriot Poor..
The pride of Cabinets, the Sov'reign's choice,,

Depend alike upon the public voice.

Rouse all the House with opposition fire ?
Can Wisdornl6 plans be baffled by a he,
