LYCEUM

-
Tobin's Comedy, the !`lloneymoon" was revived last night, at the
Lyceum, on which occasion Mr. Harvey Tuckett undertook the cha-
racter of Rolando. Mr. Tuckett is evidently suffering from a severe
cold, and may, by careful study, and practice in the provinces, over-
come a few defects under which he at present labours ; ho unques-
tionably possesses many qualifications which aro essential for au
actor, and has both self-possession and intelligence ; and although
we cannot altogether commend his' performance in the character.Of
Rolando, last evening, it was a.s light to darknesS, compared with
the Insufferable pretension, modified by excessive awkwardness, with
which Mr. Wentworth alternately howled and mumbled through the
part of Duke Aranza. The part of Juliana was entrusted to Miss
Angell, the effect of whose performance was marred by her extreme
timidity. Mrs. Seymour appeared as Volante.' She rattled through
her part with much archness and spirit, and redelved more applause
than was accorded to any other of the company; exeepting, ieeky.
who, as the sham Duke, was irresistibly ludicrous. Hemming, as the
Count 3fontalban, was excellent, and Hiss Jaue 3lordaunt looked
far better as the Page than when she appeared in the lagt scene with
her hoarse husband.

TATE'S COMMERCIAL ARITHMETIC, a New and
much Improved Edition.—This system of arithmetic is prin-
cipally- practical, and is calculated to be of very great utility'
in all branches of trade and commerce. .We recommend it
to the attention of masters of academies, who superintend
the eddcation of young persons intended for trade, or to enter
into the Counting-house. The knowledge of the stocks, of
insurance, of book-keeping, of arbitrations of exchange, mer-
chants and bankers' accounts, &c., will be very much facili-
tated by the study of the very perspicuous rules contained
in this volume.—Mr. Tate's Kev (which is now first pub»
lished) is a work of incalculable utility to teachers. .. -
CLOSE OF HOLIDAY2.—Now that the season. of
annual festivity is about to terminate, and the respective
boarding-schools be re-instated by the busy throng ofyouth-
ful aspirants, the personal comfort and attractions of - whom
become naturally an object with friends and relatives of
great solicitude, Rowland's Macassar Oil, for accelerating
the growth and for preserving and beautifying the hair;
Rowland's Kalydor, for preserving the skin and complexion,
and removing cutaneous eruptions; and Rowland's Odonto,

by
for beautifying the Teeth, add preserving the Gums, are
universally considered indispensable in the requisite accom-
paniments of the decorative repository. The august patron-
age conceded brour gracious Queen, and-the - several So-
vereigns of Europe, together with the Beauties which adorn
the circles of princely and regal magnificence ; and the con-
firmation by experience of the infallible efficacy of these
creative renovating specifics, have characterised them with
perfection, and given them a celebrity unparalleled. Ask for
" Rowland's" articles. All others are spurious imitations.
The "Earl of Jersey still continues to..suffer from
the accident he met with at Windsor Castle. •
We understand that the Worcester and .Birming-
ham Canal Company mean to make a -very considerable re.
duction in their rate .of tonnage, on and after Thursday
next., Feb. 1 ; and most of our readers are no doubt aware
that the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Company have
also-resolved on adopting a similar step at the same period.
These meaSures will, in some degree, enable the port of
Gloucester to keep pace with the increasing competition of
other 'places; and the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal gir*..
