EPILOGUE to the NEW TRAGEDY of NI ANUEL.

SPOKEN BY MRS. MARDY N.
C14,4%1 is the scene, tied hurtled by Death's relief,
Lie Manual's madness, and X;mena's grief:
Let me then o'er their graves roam broken benne:du .
And read the epitaphs on all departi:d.
No formal burial.needs, fur be it known,
Parnassus has a chnrch-yard of its own ;
There lionour'd all, with fitting tombs recline,
•
The fahl'd heroes of the glowing Nine.
There stands the sepulchre, where rapture views
Entemb'd, the offspring of our Shakespeare's Muse;
And on its base has many a bard and sage
His comments grav'd through every after age,
By honouring them has made himself be known,
And by their names immortalis'd his own.
There Norval rests, there Zang guilty pride,
There daffier sleeps by Belvidera's side;
Thence at your potent call they rise, and here
Revive and lire again their short career;
net; sink as your applause or frowns may doom,
To short repose, or an eternal tomb.
Then let me try to deck with fitting glory
Those heroes who to-night have fall's before you.

Here lies Alonzo, shin by murderers grim,.
Anch faith ! but little else is known of him.
Ile, says report, was Spain's defenco and pride.
His life is hearsay, but we know he died.
How many men (I thus his moral give) •
Live hitt to die, the warrior dies to live l-

Here Manuel lies, how many n tottering Site
Of hall his years, lacks half his youthful fire s.
Was not, speak ye, who view'd him through the scene,
His impulse genuine and his spirit Keen I
The mortal string our Poet meant to touch
Is that of dotting on your Sons too much.
At his child's death the Widower tinitted life;
He'd lied for rears after he lust his wife.

I lere lies Dc great villnin,---teessotoed,
He the younker, whose r•tate he wanted.
A hungliint knave! could he not find by skilli
Flaw in the deed, or <lonia upon the Will 1
Or should we on his tomb this axiom carve,
Better to kill at once than leave to starve.

'Here lies young Torrisplond, of noble race,
Who fell the victims of Isis Sire% diigrace.

Ilk father's name upon the murderer's dagger.
Tillie bred. ye Sires! etis this our Poet aims),
Have special catition where you write your Hawes ;
And never sign It, thus your children pray,
To any insirtonent—yon give away.

I ere poor Ximetia and Victoria lie

Thoo,y,ll they both fell and raii'd on Gife's restraint,
Woo,eit talk thus, who only mean to faint.
Well, then, for tht.m, we'll e'rh delay our sorrow,

And, if you please, to fi the matter quite, -

The following fatal accident bappened on the
night of the 25th tilt, JACOB TuRNER. Fe 1. of
Pork Hall, near Kidderminiter, was rooming hi
his carriage troth Dr. Rictckictot►'s, of lielbroligh-
ton, about eleven o'clock, and in going down
Broom-lane, one of the horses took- fright, forced
the other upon the bank, and upset the carriage,
when William Ashcroft., the hurler, who was
riding by the side of the co:tcl►nt:in,: fell from the
dickey ul►on his head with the body oft he cart iage
upon biin, and was .killed-upon the spot. The
coachman (who it appears was perfectly anhes) was
thrown further towards the horses anct eSCAPe't
hurt. We are happy also► to hear that Mn. Tier
ncr and his family did not receive any utat‘iiiii
injury.' An inquest teas held upon AsheroW;
body before H. SMITH, Esq. on Friday last'. when
the Jury. teturned a verdict. of—". Accidental
Death."

On Monday evening last ene of the stupendous
trees which adorned the venerable building of
Arundel Castle was blown down, after re'skring
everfstorm nearly 300 years, having here plawed
by Henry Eallof'Arundel, in the reign of
VIII. The wind-mill 014 Sevington-bill, near
Eastbourne, with the exception of the brick %yin k
of the round-house, was shattered into a thoutand
pieces ; and a barn, near the same spot, was blOwn
down, and a great part of the corn which•it con-
tained scattered to the winds.

KIN.I2I'S THEATRE.—La itiohnara,_ an opera of
PAEsrEi.LO, was revived; after an interval +of 14
years, at this theatre on Sattitii.uv night: Such a
revival doe. great credit to the taste of the Ma-
nager, who ceeitis to be niakihg the must

taste for music among the upper classes of this
countty. lie goes tile right way to work by se-
lectin4 the operas of Ma% strr and PARsiEO.O,
for their compositions are not only the most
attractive, but their attractions address them-
serve's as moth to the judgment as to the
sct4es. I'AcsIFLLo is full of sweetness and de-
keary. Molinara is one of the mot( pleasing of

execution accorded With the character of the com-
po,:er. Like her atitlntr, she made no effort to
surprise ; hut all Was natural, simple, graceful.
All the lierforiners exerted themselves successfully.

DRURY-LANE.—TO those WllO know ionicibing
of the tliffienl:iet attending even thelowest species
of literary composition, and who may form some
estimate of the immense labour attending the
highest, it is a painful task to speak in anittertiii
heime praise of a prokluctiott upon which Si) mach
ingenuity and attention, and talent, must have
been bestowed, as upon even an indifferent Tra-
gedy. Were it not that criticism has a higher duty
to execute, we should always be glad to cansult
our personal feelings, and no tcmaik of ours
should ever sex the ambition of aspirin., Actor, or
repress the hopes of emulous Author. We shotild
think 4o much of the Individual, that the Public
would he tor:valet). Tomtit and justice would be
absorbed in mercy and tenderness ; and when we
came :o deliver our sentiments %twin rite hew play
of Manuel, performed on Saturthy night, KEAK
should be GARRICK, Hill MATURIN SHAKESPEARE..

This we canto: say, but we will state our opi-
nion with impartiality and candour, first laying
before our Headers theuswal sketch of the Plin.
Alonzo, son of Manuel Count Valdi (Mr. liras), having
distinguished himself at the 'battle of Tolosa, and rescued
Cordova from the Moors, is expected at his father's manlion,
where a festival is prepared. Ills page first arrives, hoping
to find his master already there, who hail proceeded alone fey
a forest road. This excites alarm, and soon altt.r his war-
steed coining with bloody stains, and his broken lance, raise
dreadful surmises of his morder. The forest is Searched iii
vain, and Manuel. mad with anguish, accuses Dc Zs los (Mr.
Pox), his needy kinsman, who is next heir to him after
Alonzo, though without proof. Manuel madly demands a
trial :there he persists, unsupported, ill the accusation, under
the strongest conviction of hit kinsinair's guilt. De Zulus at
length clears himself by oath; but Manuel, unsatisfied by
this formal, deposition, dares hint to swear upon the bier, on
Which a band of- Sipanish warriors are carrying Alonzo's ar•
mour, to deposit on some holy shrine. De Zeiss hesi-
tates, and his son, Torrismond (Mr. WALLACK), agonised
by a doubt of hie father's innocence, rushes in, and Prevents
hini from sealing the damning asseveration. De Zulus
has already demanded the combat, and the Spanish nobles
who support ,him, determine to banish Manuel if its
issue fails him. Torrismond is with difficulty convinced of
his imher's innocence, and therefore unmoved by the en-
treaties of Victoria (Miss Soswitrita.n), by whom he is be-
loved, swats in the lists as his father's champion. Manuel
has no champion ; but an unknown warrior comes in his be-
half, and is mortally wounded : crc be is borne off, he un-
closes his vizor to De Zulus, and chews himself to be a Moor
(Mr. f'. Corso:), who hod mysteriously appeared tit a-fornier
scene. Manuel is then banished to an ancient castle of his
ancestry, and his daughter, who attends kin, in his frantic
stoe, accompanies him, Thither nlsoXinien3 (Mr..K.Niutur)
who had beet, lietrothid to Moire° and bopelesily vint.s for
his toss, wanders, and meets Manuel at Alonzo's eenotopll.--
Ili the same Vault kite finds the Moor expiiing, Who confesses
that he had been hirer! to murder Alonzo, and gives her a
dagget Whi-ell he had receiyed for the purpose, and the blade
of which bears his niployer's name, binding her by an oath
to commit it 'indrawn to the hands ofiaistice ; this she, dying;,
delivers 19 Tocri.,onird• De Zulus aerisum at NlahlterSeaille,
in search of his daughter, and Torrkintind rashes in, glorying
in his lather's innocence,; Mendizahel, the ..Instiza (Mr,
tiet,LAND), desires him to nnOteathe the dagsger ; be 'Mei
so, and discovering his father's name, stabs :himself. De
'lidos sinks, oppressed with guilt; and Manuel, before frantic,
dies, madly glorying in the thought that De Zulus is childless
as himself.

Tile tragedy of Bertram has made the public
well acquainted ts.ith the merits ett ;he atathor.of
Manuel. These 'Heins are assuredly not of the
first stamp, though Malty fine and truly .pooic,,t
im,ges raise the « ii•er far above the inferior

he returns from the fruitless search after lwr nuir-

what ought aud. ought not to•be feiti and siiuilac

_ . .
This We consider the great and radical defect of
Mannet. The main iurident is plunged upon too
soon, and afterwards nil the poecical adornments
of the Author are worse than thrown away. Yet
there are. some hue scenes : that in which De
Zelos removes his son's doubt of his guilt, and
urges hint to the combat, is admirable, and (Its-
plays the comnitinding powers of Mr. MATUSIN,
This Is' indeed almost the only scene worthy of
the severe dignity of 'Tragedy; .the r?st is 11ti•
mance tit/finalized, and that tiOt very skilfully,
between the Trumpet and the Pen.—The charae-
ler of the 111°0 is an absurilitSr, and the demote-
ment by the flame on the dagger grossly int-
probable.
Of the Performers we shall not say mild'',
though they ought
.all to receive the highest ap-
plause for their exertions. Mr. K.F.AN we never
saw to greater di.advantage, lie was a hull.,
whitc-haired, twaddling old Gentleman, who 'tied
at effect by precisely the Sallie means Six or eight
limes over, and never succeeded but once,
when he cried '1 God bless you " to Alia
Chioopion who appeared for him in the lists.—
It hiss been tumoured that Mr. K BAN uas
going to. play King Lear—we advise him to
shun .the chi,o,clvt if he has ally regard frit his IV-
HAtt was exceedingly impressive
in the 'Wait). I'. t haps the violence ttf his
lion was throughout too apparent. There coold
be tiry .m.tit -of discrimination in detecting his
guilt, and the only mat ter for surprize he left to
as was, that his son, his •,judge, and all 1.1• E Court
