COVENT-GARDEN 'THEATRE.

The Tragedy of Julius actor was performed at this
Theatre, for the first time, last night, to a crowded
audience. The characters throughout were strongly cut,
comprising Young. as Brutus, throughout
as Cassius, and C.
Kemble as Mark Anthony; the last of whom, in particular,
made the eloquent but factious citizen one of the chief at-
tractions of the evening. Of Mr. Young's Brutus it is
superfluous to say much, the public have already decided
in its favour, and given its representative, credit for " a
faultless carriage,' splendid declamation, and sustained
dignity of action. Beyond these Mr. Young has few claims
to attention, he is cold and monotonous, in recita-
tion, evidently fettered by the conventional prejudices
of the school to which he belongs ; spiritless when
he should be impassioned (as in Macbeth), and think-
ing too much of personal dignity (us in lago), .when
he " should go out of himself "—as it were, and look
the easy good humoured villain of Shakespeare. But in
Brutes, the cold monotony of which we complain, is in
good keeping with the character; for to superficial observers
there is little difference between the dignity of a philoso-
phic mind, and the mere animal dignity resulting from a'
noble person. The latter, Mr. Young gave with surprising
effect, he looked the Roman ' every inch,' and fully justi-
fied the remark of his severest foe, that be " was the
noblest Roman of them all." Mr. ade's Cassius was a
highly creditable performance : " spleen," which linzlitt
paradoxically calls " the soul of patriotism," is the soul of
this testy anarchist, whose quick, waspish, irritable, sensi-
bility, was personated with strict adherence to na-
ture. Perhaps, in the famous quarrel scene, Mr. Ward.
was too. lavish of external nervousness ; , he flew about
the stage as if udder galvanii influence; whereas lie
should hive remembered that Cassius was a Roman in the
strictest sense of the word—a Roman in his jealous regard
to personal appearance, and still more a Roman in the
stoicism with which be strove, as ti point of conscience, to
suppress all exterior emotion. Mr. Young used to show
this contrast between a calm proud demeanour and a pas-
sionate sarcastic temperament, with very imposing success,
especially when supported by Kemble, as Brutus, whose
very look and movement were magnificent. The house,
we are glad to perceive, was crowded in all parts—u fact
which, if it be attributable to the reviving taste for the,le.
gitimate drama, is highly creditable both to the public taste
and to the caterer for its amusement.
