WESTMINSTER SCHOOL.

Last night, according to annual
.custom, the
young • gentlemen of Westminster School per-
formed one .of the Comedies of TERENCE. That
selected for the present occasion was the Andria.
It would be superfluous to enter into any 'obser-
vations on a production, the merits of which
have been long familiar to the classical scholar.
The school-room .was fitted up with much taste,
and every thing conducted with the greatest de-
corum. The dramatis perSonre were as follow :
DRAMATIS P!lasoN.s.--Sirno, H. DonosoN ; Sosia, W.
L. Ilitowx ; Darns, R. EDEN ; Mysis, F. F. UNDERWOOD;
Pamphilus, J. BRAINE ; Charinus, W. I. E. BENNETT ;
Byrrhia, R. N. GRESLEY ; • Lesbia, J. G. PnrwmonE ;
Chremes, J. LEY ; Unto, W.-SnYTITE ; Droll-10, W. SILVER.
The part of most difficulty, Davus, was per-
formed by Master EDEN with great vivacity.
Fora person so young he discovered an admi-
rable knowledge of the character, and supported
it throughout with. much comic archness of man.
ner and look. Ms exertions were highly ap-
plauded. Master LEy, as Chremes, performed
admirably the little he had to do. It is
no easy matter for a school boy, full of
life and vigour, to assume sufficient efiemi-
' nancy of manner to go through even such a
part as this so as to pl'oduce ally thing like dra-
matic deceptiOn.—The - other Gentlemen were
very perfect in their various parts ; and Master
DonGsoN, in the character of Simo, shewed con-
siderable judgment.—There Are some who may
doubt whether the time that must be expended
in obtaining the mastery these young gentlemen •
discovered in their various parts, is productive of
any adequate advantage. It certainly is not time
mis-spent, for it must ,have, at least, the effect of
making them more familiar with the author. It
was impossible for those best acquainted with The
Andria of Terence from mere reading, not to have
derived pleasure from this performance which he
never experienced before. A prologue is usually
delivered upon the occasion, but it was oriitted
last night. The piece being concluded, the
whole of the dramatis personce came forward,
and " God save the King" was performed by the
orchestra.

TUE THEATRE.—The Tragedy of. BI
written purposely for the display of Mr. KEAN'S
talents, was revived last night at Drury-lane
Theatre. lie supported the hero of the piece
with great spirit. Mr. COOPER was not less suc-
cessful in the part of Titus, and Mrs. WEST was
very interesting in that of Tarquinia. The Coro-
nailon followed with unabated attraction.
Miss BLAKE, who distinguished herself so
much at- the Haymarket, both in acting and
singing, in the part pr Macheath, and since in
that of Don Giovanni. at. Drury-lane Theatre, is
the pupil of Mr. NATHAN, so"well known for the
composition of Hebrew Melodies, in conjunction
with Mr. MIMEO!. It is said, that she is in
treaty for an engagement at Drury-lane Theatre,
if one can be made that will not interfere with her
connexion with that where she first acquired her
well-Merited reputation upon London bdards.
