STANZAS, -
WRITTEN DURING A MARINE ExcunsioN, AUGUST, 182.
Sec how beneath the moonbeam's smile
Yon little billow heaves its breast ;
•
And foams and sparkles for awhile,
And murmuring there subsides to rest.

Thus Man, the sport of bliss and care,
Rises on Time's eventful sea ;
And having swelled a moment there,
Thus melts into eternity. _

ROYAL WEST LONDON THEATRE.-The Tra-
gedy of Wdipus T,g rttnnus, which we have al-
ready noticed, has been very attractive, and has
improved on its original representation. It was
last night very well attended. The merit of
uNTLEy and Mrs. GLovca in the characters of
the unfortunate hero and heroine are of no ordi-
nary description ; and the latter, in Jocasta's last
scene, displayed those terrific agonies that could
not be surpassA by any theatrical skill. The farce
was the Taming of the Shrew, which was through-
out represented with correctness and laughable
effect.—Mr. AlmEnsr gave the part of Petruchio
with critical truth and great spirit, and Mrs. G
VEIL'S Catherine was marked by all that ani-
mation and characteristic force which might
be expected from her experience and judgment,
and which strikingly exemplified the variety of
her talents.—lf this excellent actress is unaccount-
ably excluded from Patentee boards, it is at least
some satisfaction to the Public that she still finds
a liberal protection in the Metropolis.
The maG entlemen of Ilerona, it seems, is an-
other of the plays of SHA KSPEA R E that is soon to
be tinkered into an operatic shape. These intru-
sions upon the page of our great national Bard
cannot but " make the judicious grieve," not
merely on account of the outrage committed on
his works, but because it implies a lamentable
dearth of dramatic genius in our days, for surely
if a good play were presented to the Manager
it would he his interest to bring it forward, pro-
vided indeed that he had judgment and taste
sufficient to discern its merits.

A new Comedy is •expected at Drury-lane
Theatre, under the title of Lost Life, of which
report speaks very favourably.

A young Lady, a pupil of Mr. YouNG, the
actor, is soon to make her appearance at Covent-
Carden Theatre, in the character of Mrs. Haller.
She could not have found a better tutor, and if
he can teach her to represent Mrs. Haller as well
as he performs the &ranger, we may expect a va-
luable addition to the Covent-Garden Company.
Mr. TnomAs Moonu, who was recently on a
visit to this Country, has returned to Paris to re-
sume his biography of the late Mr. SHERIDAN._
The subject is worthy of a literary, record, and
will, no doubt, he well treated by one so distin-
guished for ieurniug7 taste) and geith".
