Of the merits or the piece itself we are not, as.:
in noticing the productions of the modern drama,
called upon to say any thing: It has -already,
together with its five companians from the penli-rf

sical readers; it is perhaps connected with too
many paiVift recollections of his boyish days not
to be well known. The principal object of re-
viving these plays on the Westmonaste.rianstagp,
is the laudable-one of displaying the proficiency
of the scholars at the Westminster School in The"-
Latinlangsuage ; and more particularly their ele..

most distinguished themselves on ,this occasion
were Mr. VERNON, Mr. SwyTni, Mr. DonasoN,

These she gage with appropriate expression, and
in the very' interesting Scotch air " Charlie is my

very many instances much improved oconpations

it must be highly useful.--4(lnuerness Journal.)
