COURT CIRC ULA

almost innumerable number of ladies and gentlemen on
horseback. Strange. to -say,. notwithstanding the•cheers
of those who witnessed her Majesty's entry upOn the
grounds must have reached the ears of the multitude of
persons assembled at the -upper part of the extensive
grounds, no one appeared to recognise the Royal and
illustrious personages, or even believe that they had tit.-
rived, until, upon her Majesty taking her station in front
of the flag-staff above mentioned, they were convinced by
the bands striking up the National Anthem, and the
troops presenting arms. On the Queen's left were
Prince Albert, Count Mensdorf, the Duke of Wellington,
&e ; and on her right Lord Hill, Prince George of Cam-
bridge,

He insinuates that Alasco had his own motives for
sparing the king—that at the beginning Alasco was like
themselves, a traitor in danger of the law, but now he is
the King's preserver, and as such safe in the event of the
rebellion not succeedingthat a female regent is not to
be trusted with command in times of danger—such at h ast,
he says, have been the words of others, but
far himself he is Alasco's friend. To Alasco lice still
keeps a fair face, although very nearly betraying himself
by urging upon Alasco that as Olivia has been divorced
from the Prince, she may now legally become his
(Almagro's) wife, a proposition, which is met by Alasco
with a burst of scornful indignation, given by Mr. C.
Kean in a manner whieh proved him to be the worthy
son of a most worthy sire—yet he contrives still to keep
on the mask of patriotism, still to deceive awl practise
upon Alasco, who at length gives his casting vote to ap-
point Almagro regent, one half of the assembly having
been in favour of Almagro, and the other half of Masco
himself. Almagro immediately confers upon Alasco the
command of. the army on the frontier, thus thinking to
rid himself of one who might circumvent , his
designs upon Olivia. In the fourth act we tied•
Almagro adopting measures to carry his hateful designs
upon Olivia into effect ; for this purpose he has applied
to Pedro (Mr. Gough), the executioner, to provide for
him some assassin who will assist—one who will not
hesitate at shedding blood, should bloodshed be noses
Pedro. who, notwithstanding his terrible calling, is
at heart a good man, has harboured Alonzo, who has
returned to she city disguised as a Moor, and introduces
him to Almagro as the man he sought for. In the
meantime Olivia has informed Alasco that her reason
for loathing Almagro is, that the villain had, long before
her marriage with the Prince, made an attempt upon her
honour, front which his (Alasco's) sudden arrival had
alone preserved her, and Alasco atlength becomes sensible:
of the villainy of the man he had so long called his frliiid.
Awakened too late to a sense of the danger in which he
has placed not only himself but his country by'his mis-
placed confidence in Almagro, he speaks of the king,
and learns with admiration at woman's prescient wisdom,
that Olivia had aided him to escape some hours bef%ire.
Almagro is heard approaching. Olivia retires, and Alasco
remains, and indignantly reproaching Almagro with his,
treachery, calls on him to draw and defend himself.
Almagro, coward as well as villain, refuses and retires.
Ruphino enters, and warning Alasco of Al rnagro's vil-
lainous intentions, urges him to fly by the postern, and
join the king. Alasco escapes just as Almagro enters,
accompanied by his guarguardstbr the purpose of arrasting
him. -Furious at his escape, he rushes at Ruphino and
demands where he has concealed Masco ? The old man
laughs. Almagro fiercely asks the cause of his d
laugher. " I laugh at your simplicity" is the calm reply.
" At my simplicity ?" exclaims Almagro.
"Ay ! Sir, to ask a father for his son,
"That you may give him up to butchery.
• "He is safe, Sir, safe—his father's life upon it," •
is the dignified reply of the virtuous old man. Alma-
gro orders him to the rack, and is not appeased until he
has heard that the old man has expired under the
torture. In the fifth a. t, Almsgro in pursuit of his tie-
signs upon Olivia, sends away her attendant, and accom
panied by the Moor, lies in wait for her in the ante-room
to her chamber. She rejects his approaches with loath-
ing, and drawing a dagger, is about to stab herself, when
she is disarined by the Moor, into whose arms she falls
senseless. At that instant; a messenger enters, and in-
forms Almagro, that the Royal forces, with the
king and Alasco at their head, have forced the
city gates. He rushes out to oppose them, leaving
orders with the Moor to stab Olivia, should he send him
back hii signet. Olivia recovers, and in her pre-
server recognises her husband. A messenger gives him
the signet—the signal of discomfiture of Ahnagro. The
last scene takes place in the dungeons of the prison.
In this place Alasco has summoned Almagro for a last
interview. They are lighted in by the attendants, Al-
magro being unarmed. Masco commands one of them to
leave his sword, and then to leave himself and Alinaero
alone for one hour, at the expiration of which time they
are to return. Alasco, then seated upon the block of the
executioner, commands Almagro to seat himself upon the
corner of the rack; the latter shrinks from obeying. Masco
then recounts his own former kindnesses to Almagro
Almagro's villainy and ingratitude, and tells him that
he . shall not die, as he deserves, by the hands
of the executioner, but in combat; he hands Al-
magro the sword of the attendants and draws his own.
The crafty villain declares his sword is the shorter,
and Alasco, with the unsuspecting confidence of a noble
mind, offers him his own. The villain snatches at it, anti
having thus disarmed Alasco, has him at advantage. He
tells Alasco to prepare for death, assuring him at the
same time, that his words were prophetic, that no ex
ecutioner would slay Almagro, for that he had taken
poison, but ere he dies he shall have the satisfaction of
killing Alasce. But ere he kills, he Wu would torture
him; and, therefore, he tells him, that not only is Rnphiuo
dead, but that Olivia also has been slain by his nicaw.
Strike ! strike in mercy strike, exclaims Alasco, as he
kneels to the block. At the instant, the voice of Re-
phino, on the one side, and the voice of Olivia on the
other, is heard calling on Masco. Almagro stands stupi-
tied, as though he had heard the voice of the dead.. The
doors are broken. and the king, accompanied by Olivia,
by Ruphino, and by Alonzo, who has saved both father
and daughter, and tbllowed by his guards, rush in in
time to save Alasco. The wretched Almagro falls dead
upon the ruck, and the curtain falls. This beautiful play
has but one defect—the besetting sin of all the dramatic
productions of Sheridan Knowles—the interest is not one
and indivisible ; it is, in fact, two plays. The catas-
trophe of the one ends with the second act, and at its
conclusion we were quite at a loss to imagine how the
action of the remaining three acts were to be carried
forward. An entirely new interest is commenced wita
the third act, and for this reason, and this reason only, it
is that that act, beautiful as it is in itself, seems tame
and fiat. It is in fact the commencement of another
play. Not fur the sake of his fame, for that is secure
—not for the sake of his profit, for such plays
as The Rose of Arragon will ever command the highest
pecuniary rewards of the highest dramatic excellence—
but for the sake of that which is far dearer to him, a* to
every man of genius, than either fame or money, for the.
sake of the art itself, we beseech Mr. Sheridan Knowles
to correct this, the only defect in his compositions. A
fault of this nature, sanctioned by his high mune, may. in
time, be regarded by those " who love not wisely but too
well," as a matter worthy of imitation, and the progress
of the art be thrown back for centuries. We have heard
some of the situations objected to as too melodramatlc ;
we must confess we do not see the force of this objection.
There is, throughout the play, no situation which
does not arise naturally from the circum-
stances—in no instance is probability sacrificed
to situation, and where effective situations thus arise,
why not the poet take advantage of them? We
see no more reason why the melodramatist should engross
all the effctive situations than Rowland Hill could see
why the Devil should have all the pretty tunes. Taken
a'together, this is one of the very best plays that Mr.
Knowles has hitherto produced. Since The Wife, lie
has not produced any serious play that can be at all com-
pared to it. We have gone to such a length in speaking
of the play itself,-that we mast be brief in speakin of
the actors. Mrs. Charles Kean, as the heroine, was
perfect. No actress on the stage can equal her it, giving
expression to the natural dignity of truthful simplicity,
which is the basis of the character of Olivia.
The impersonation of truth herself, she has an
intuitive perception of the truthfulness or falsehood,
and acting upon that instinct of her nature she is never
deoeived, is certainly her greatest character, and
.greatpr „p,s., she is the Countess in Love,oe isstilt
grßatr Rose Arragon. Mr. Charles
Kean was
''the.l.lPATA.he OF . the poet ; is delightful to escape
fro'nit • he'iriere stage conventionalisms and stilted atii:c-
tations-of,those Mossop-like actors, whose thunders roll
.inemenovilabks, to the natural acting of this highly
talented young man. Yet, where the scene demanded
it, he could give us the very Whirlwind of passion. The
scenes with Almagro were worthy of his father, and the
greatest actor, with the exception of Garrickf that Eng-
land, • has ever produced. -Phelpi, as Almagro, in the
earlier scenes, was excellent. Nothing could be
better than his manner of hinting his insinuations
against Alasco in the third act; in the succeeding scenes,
howe% er, he was much too boisterous for a designing
villain ; there was occasionally observable, too, a ten-
dency to rant, which he would do well to avoid ; his
attitudes, too, were occasionally anv thing but gras;eful.
His. manner of dying was certainly original, but we
would just hint to Mr. Phelps, that in order to be
original, it is by no means necessary to be awkward.
Taken as a whole, the Ruphino of Air. Stuart was the
most perfectly acted part of the play ; it was faultless.
I Never was the hearty energy of the green old age of an
honest, virtuous, simple-minded man more correctly re-
presented : we could almost have fancied that Charles
Young was acting Ruphino. The other characters were all
efficiently supported, nod the getting up of the piece ad-
mirable. The applause at the fall of the curtain was most
enthusiastic, and loud were the calls for Knowles. Vining
at length came forward, and announced that Mr. Knott les
was not in the house. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean were
then called for and loudly applauded, and the lady having
retired, Mr. Charles Kean announced the play for repeti-
tion four times a week until further notice. Phelps was
I then called for, and loudly applauded. The House was
crowded.

Her Majesty, having returned the salute of the troops,
who were still formed id line, proceeded, accompanied by
her Illustrious Consort and the whole of the Staff,
to inspect the ranks. As the Queen passed along the
line, the band of the First Life Guards (led by Mr
Waddell) played a Prussian March. Her Majesty, in
passing the colours of each troop, saluted them in a most
graceful and military manner, which appeared highly to
delight the soldiers.

The Royal party having returned to head quarters,
the three regiments passed by, by squadrons, the three
bands playing the " First Life Guards' March," com-
posed by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and
when the column had got in original line, they formed
troops and marched past by threes, the bands playing
an Austrian March, after which they re-formed in ori-
ginal line, and trotted past.
At this juncture (ten minutes to twelve o'clock) her
Majesty finding the burning 'rays of the noon-day sun
too powerful for her longer to endure, or in fact to enable
her clearly to distinguish the movements of the troops,
at the suggestion of the Duke of Wellington, ordered
the head-quarters to he Chaiwed from the upper to the
lower.sitte of the Scrubbs, which was immediately done.
The troops then went through various manoeuvres, after
which the line advanced-in parade order, the bands play-
ing " God save the Queen." The review was ended at
twenty minutes before one o'clock.
Her Majesty, before leaving, was pleased to express to
General Lygon, the officer having command of the
brigade, and the officers of the regiments, &c., her high
approval both of the appearance of the troops and of the
manner in which they had gone through the evolutions.
The Royal party then returned to their carriages, and
at ten minutes to one o'clock quitted the ground, on their
return to Buckingham Palace, amid the defeaning cheers
of the assembled multitude. Her Majesty, who looked
remarkably well, did not appear at all fatigued. •
The troops soon afterwards returned to their respective
barracks. - • .

REVIEW ON woRMWOOD
SCRUBI3S.

On,Satur3ay her Majesty reviewed. the two regiments
of Life Guards and the Bth Royal Hussars, on the Review
ground, - Wormwood Scrubbs, in the presence of a large
number of General and other military officers, and a vast
assemblage of the nobility, gentry, Sc. The arrange-
ments, although on an extended scale, were conducted
with such privacy that the intenti,ut was scarcely known
even at a late hour on Friday, which will account for the
number of spectators being lees than has generally been
the case at reviews by the Sovereign.
As early as nine o'clock a strong body of police of the
T and A division,. under the.direction of Superintendent
Williamson and Inspectors Morgan, Stead, and Martin,
arrived on the Scrubbs, and prevented the crowd, hich
had already begun to collect, from trespassing within
the line marked -out for the operation of the trumps,
and also in keeping clear the atmospheric Railway
on the east side of the Scrubbs, near the engine-house,
belonging to which it was arranged her Majesty,
should mount and dismount Shortly afterwards two
squadrons of the Royal HorSe Guards (Blue), under the
command of Captain Vincent Corbett, who had on the
previous day come from Windsor to Ealing, preparatory
to keeping the ground, entered the Scrubbs, and took up
the positions appointed to them.
From that time until ten o'clock carriages containing
elegantly dressed ladies, many of them of noble rank,
arrived in rapid succession and were arranged in double
and triple rows at the upper end of the Scrubbs, near
the Great Western Railway, just above the flag-scat},
appointed as head-querters. Precisely at ten o'clock
the 2(1 Regiment of Life Guards, preceded by their
splendid band, in rich state uniforms,: with their silver

kettle drums, entered the ground under the command
of Colonel Roid, and took up a position on the rase of
the hill to the south west, and about ten minutes after-
wards the Ist Regiment of Life Guards, with their band
in similar rich costume, also arrived from the Regent's
Park Barracks, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel
Cavendish, and took up a position before them.
At twenty minutes past ten o'clock her Majesty's fa-
fourite light chesnut Arabian charger, with a numhe:,
of saddle horses, for Prince Albert, Count Mensdorf,
&c., accompanied by a number of the R9yal groom do,
in scarlet liveries, entered the Scrubbs and proceeded
under the archway of the railway to the spot assigned
them, and at half-past ten o'clock the Bth Royal Hussars
arrived front Hounslow Barracks, under the command of
Col. 'Maul, preceded by their band, and took up a po-
sition near the Life Guards.

Shortly previous to the hour appointed for the arrival
of her Majesty (eleven o'clock), the troops romed into
line, inclined to the left on the 2d Life Guards, having
the three bands in front. Amongst those present we
noticed the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, Duke and
Duchess of Buccleuch, Lady Fitzroy Somerset, Earl
Delawarr, Sir Charles Dalbiac, Colonels Lygon, Richard-
son, Angelo, &c.
Her Majesty arrived on the ground at a quarter -to
elev'en o'clock, a quarter of an hour before she was ex-
pected. The Royal cortege, which consisted of an open-
landau, drawn by four horses, containing the Queen,
Prince Albert, Count Mensdorf, and the Duchess of
Buceleuch ; a second open carriage, '
ucontaining the four
sons of Count Mensdurf • (Counts Hgo, Alphonso,
Alexander, and Arthur) ; and a chariott-containing- Sir
Edward Bowater and Loi'd Charles Wellesley, entered
the Scrubbs by Wood-lane, leading from Shepherd's
Bush, and immediately proceeded, amid the enthusiastic
cheering of the spectators, to the spot WA the east side of
the railway, where the Royal saddle-horses were stationed.
At the entrance of the passage under the railroad, her Nla
je.sty was received by hts Grace the Duke of Wellington, in
a Field Marshal's uniform, bearing upon his breast a pro-
fusion- of orders, amongst which the Black Eaglo
g Prussia was conspicuous. His Royal Highness Prince
George of Cambridge, dressed. as Colonel of the Pith
Dragoons, Lord Hill (Commander of the Forces). in a
Field-Marshal's uniform, Earl Cardigan in the unifortn
of the 10th Hussars, Sir George Quentin in the same.
Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Lord Charles Wellesley, Sir
Willoughby Cotton, General Sir E. Bowater, and nume-
rous other General officers:
The Queen wore the Windsor uniform (blue riding-
habit, with crimson facings); black round hat, with black
lace yell, and were across -from the left shoulder the
broad blue ribbon of the Order of tho Garter. Prince
Albert wore a I-Tu,,isar uniform, as did also Count Mens-
dorf and three of his sons, as Prussian hussars, the fourth
being habited in a dragoon uniform.
'lmmediately on her -Alaiesty, Prince Albert, and their
illustrious visitors having mounted, they proceeded 'to-
