We hail to reeord'one of, the most disgree'etiii
scenes that ever occurred in a place devoted tO
pilblic Find aratiiintil amusement. The tragedy
of The Itcliarth, which has so 10110 excited nubile
notice, uotice, and the Aolbor or which 1.1)3 been sd un-
justly and intokntly treated, was announced for
representatlon at Drury Lene Theatre, on Satur-
day last, .and the house was theooged in all
quarters, Partly from a geoeral desire of wit-
nessing its fate, and partly, we hope, from
a sense of justice, to rescue I:,e work (ruin
the thalevolenee of Paction. That Faction, we
have no hesitation in saying, we conceive to have
consisted soklY of the besotted admirers of Mr.
BCC% who catr see 110 1/IVrit in any other Per-
former, and who are resolved that all other talents
shall be sacrificed at the shrine of their Idol. The
folly of theatrical Proprietors, in crectiug such
enormous Theatre., has nearly occasioned the ruin
of the regular Drama, and dept bt7ed the Public of
poWer to prevent the malevolence of •Party
froth accomplishing its purpose, whether to
force 'nonsense on the. town, or' to mist;
the works of real genius, "when " unsuitable to
its views: But to return. to the disgraceful
tuniolt of Saturday. Uifwilling to trust
_wholly
to our ottn judgniet4;4od feelings on the occa-
sion, we requested a:candid, judicionsi and intel-
ligent friend to favour us with his view and report
of the transaction, in addition to our' own ; and
his opinions on What occurred are so Completely
in unison with our then, that we shall adopt his
account of the proceetiNgs, except to state,
that we entertain mote favourable sentiments of
the Tragedy than he has expressed. and to oh-
serve, that aS the Managers of Covent -Gatdeo
Theatre intended to hiing forward this nay, we
hope that they will persevere in that intention;',
for then the work would have some chance of a
fait trial, since, Mr. KeAtst having nothing to do
with that Theatre, the malignant jealousy of hiS in-
fatuated admirers would out have the Baine reason
for persecution as in a place where it seems
the determination of those infatuated, and, we
may add, foolish admirers, chat he shall not only.
reign without a coi»petitor, but that no tragedy
shall be suffered to appear unless he is to be the
Hero, and that shall contain a character' Which
May give any other Actor tbe /east chance of par-
ticipating in public applause. We now strhjoin
the report of our intelligent and candid Friend. ,

Hitherto it has been our regular duty, upon the
performance of tv new Drama, to detail i,s plot,
its incidents, and its characters-;" a judgment
whereof had not yet passed beyond •the observe-.
vation of its first audience. In the present in-
stance, our critical function may 'be dispensed
withal ; Mr. BUCKa having; put the whole town.
in previous possessilm of his Tragedy. The au-
dience of Saturddy scented collected for some
other purpose than hearing a new play :--the
cptestiim appeared to be, trot betwceu the Public
and the Author; but between the Author and
Mr. KERN—im which the audience should stand
umpire.

Upon the Tragedy itself, we shall say but a
city tcw words. The language is not forcible,
nor always polished; the dial►rue is tedious ;1 he
incidents are few ; and, altogether•, tl►e piece can
never hold a first-rate station. Its very inert-
ness, how'•ver, refutes Mr. KRAtei sweeping eri-
ticiat►m, which calle►l it " Dera►nged Intellect :"
We could willingly pardon the 14 derangement" of
genius. Had our,critical Tragedian given that
appellation to
.poor NAT. I. EE's Ale.vander, we
should have admitted its justice ; and we heartily
wish that our modern, Dramas could half as hitly
deserve it. lint, alas ! their slight dip in the
waters Of Helicon does not affect the plat•-wrights
of the nineteenth century with an hydrophobia..
That the character of Manfredi does contain
hits and points which would have suited Mr.
KEAN, is no pro.•9t of his having made. the objec-
tion ; but, upon 'his own most unheconsing and
ill advised letter, he stands refuted in the main
question, that the Tragedy is the .production of a
deranged intellect." s

Our Readers may desire a short liistory,of the
eventful evening. According to. that admirable
foresight which often distinguishes theatrical
Critics, the uproar rose with the rising curtain.
When it could be reduced into something tau-
;little and intelligible, we understood that an
Address was expected ; Mr. CAna appeared, and
perhaps informed the' house that he had been
originally_ instructed by the Author to- lay be-
fore them a statement of some circumstances ;
which, however, it was subsequently deemed more
proper to forego. So at least we guessed Lim.
The scene then continued, as did the uproar.
Mr. CiOR again appeared, and in 'obedience to
the prevailing wish, announced that the Play
should recommence; which had iudeed passed, so
far as concerned the Stage. utterly in dumb spew.
Very little, however, could be heard. Hisses,
groans, shouts, anti wavish barkings, completely
prevented any rational judgment, A powerful
party was resolved that the Play should not be
heard, and all was again confusion until the ap-
pearance of RAE, in the, character which had been
originally designed for KaaN. fie was'received with
great hut not continued applause. : The opposi-
tion became so violent, and so 'evidently levelled
against him, that he was obliged to appeal to the
audience—spectators, we should have said-,---Whe-
thin it was their pleasure that be should fulfil the
duty which he owed to diem and to the Author
This appeal, delivered in, a tone equally modest
and manly, had a favourable; hitt a'short effect.
The howlers were shamed for a moment ; and
for a monient only.—The spirit with which he
performed his character ,seemed a mortal of.
fence, arse he was loudly and repeatedly accused
of imitating KEAN, a part which tool been
(according to a most bluetitl custom) written for
KEAN'S peculiar style of acting.---Tice grand
cret, however, of this noisy, 'this invele,.ate op-
position was—Mal his energy sheared how much Ike
great Tragedian could have done with the poet
We do not say this in the least diseiedit or oi'4-
repect to Mr. Rag, who really did, not With-,
staniiing the embarrassing situation in which he
was placed, deserve v,ry high applause, and re-
ceive it too from the just and the candid part of
he, Audience.

becomes his ditty to the Anthritand to them.
On the play iii general, and on the other Actors,
we have little to olyserve. We seircely knew it. it was
atinotinCed for repetition, amidst the horfible and
disgtactful uproar. All care, indeed,\ for the lie-

We righted the house soon after the fall 01 this
curtain ; but 'the uproar, we find, confirmed for ti
