[Dividends, &c.to-niorrcw.]

For,the last two years the public attention has
been called, by every artifice of puffing,
.to the
Stixo,(k-TtIENTItE of an Actor whO .possesses no
qualification that could be expected , to, entitle
him .to distinction above the meanest performers
of the Theatre Royal. Equally destitute of ele-
gance and wit, of dignity and playfulness, he
hihits a rare; but satisfactory Proof that imper-
tinetice May lie dull and gravity ridiculous. The
multitudes, hoWever, that 'attend his Theatre
every Stinday evening; demonstrate thepopula-
rity ,of his topics, and the interest taken, even
by
_the rational part of the conimunity, in reli-
gious subjectS. For, in order to blind the MaL
gistrates, and secure a licence to perform on the
Sabbath, the Manager gives out that all hispietec
are framed. upon the Holy Scriptures; that is,
that they are similar in their construction to
those amusements exhibited in ClithOlic countries
on the Sabbath evening, and which were insti-
tuted to promote piety and advance 'the cattse of
reli ;ion.
It certainly may be questioned, whether the
senses are not more likely to be enslaved by the
various objects pretented to the eyes on those
occasions, than 'the mind to be edified by consi-
dering abstractly the ORIGINAL intent of such
spectacles ? It may be asked, whether bad and
maligvant passions do not frequently mingle.
themselves with sentiments of piety and harmless
jocularity ? And whether those. Dramatic Repro-,
sentations do not, upon the whole, encourage:
young persons to lay too great a stress upon:
places of public amusement; and invite them to:
share the pure doctrines of the Established:
Church, and the moral instructions of the Me-
thodist Preacher.

We shall defer entering into those inquiries ;
but we shall qualify the reader to reply to them,
by laying before him the following BILL of the
PLAY.
