bTJBIJIN TITEATRE.

Last'being'announced for the first ap-
pearance of Mr. Flit.mr.itick JONES, in the cha-
racter of Li o, the theatre was crowded at an
early hour by a 'fashionable auditory to witness
the debut of this interesting young Gentle-
man. At a few minutes before eight o'clock,
the. curtain drew up .a.Mid the cheerings of the
en ire flotise, and Me. 17;lartEN, Rodrig,ro, ad-
Tancetl, leading on Mr. Jovr.s, who was re-
ceived with the greatest eirthusiasm ; the au-
dience rose up with a simultaneous feeling,
a id testified their approbation by the clapping
of hands, .ving of hats abd handkerchiefs;
and shouts of " bravO bravo Mr. JosEs was
strongly affocted, and after making his aAnow-
ledgments with becoming grace, entered upon
the performance of his ardtions dtitieS with a
spirit and discrhnination which slimed that the
public were not disappoititd in the anticipations
which they had formed of his tdebts and acquire-:
ments. It is impossible for di to do justice to
the manner inl Which Mr. JO0:::, persoirated
difficult character

the Gentleman and
.the Sc,holar was .evident
in. every scene—lriis address to Roi-b-igo at .the
close of the first Act, where he exclaim=, " put,
money in thy purse," &c. wits most happily tip.;
livered, as were the 'soliloquy in the twit
Act, where he fomen'tS the deadly -corubai
between Cassio and Rodrigo, and the granq
scene in the third Att -in which lie (-ieiti.4
the jealousy of the .Moor ; in fact, it would be
difficult for us to say where he gratified his au-
dience most, as the applause was iintioundo
throughout, and deservedly so.. At the conclu-
sion of the 'Pia V, there was an universal call for
-Mr. JONES, and Mr. Roan nßow hating appear-
ed .to announce the Play for this evening, he was
obliged to retire without having ttccomplished-
his object. Mr. J01E.4 having at length come:
