The attention. at Government to all advisable
plan% of reduction of the, Hatioaal expenditure
continues unretnitted. In addition to Other re-
trenchments, it is'now in contemplation to con-
solidate the Warehousing, System of the Customs
and Excise together. As some, of the warehouse
keepers belonging to the Customs alone, at the
ontports, receive considerable Works; a great
saving will be effected hereafter by the diminu-
tion of the number appointed at present by the
two departments to the 72 outports. In the port

will shortly take place. No unexpected hard.

without leaving their papers indorsed with his aig-
nature, for %Odell 10s, Is modestly exacted. The
packers.sailing from Brighton now average about
-thirty pas,entters per day hi their homeward
lieiglitt, while it is scarcely worth their consi-
deration to proceed on their outward voyage.

which pleases in the closet, nray fail from the eery
circumstance which ought to give it force, name-
ly, from the accinnpuniment 'of scenery, action,
and delivery. Every individual of the crowded
audience at Drury-lane must have felt this
truth. Neither the prodigality of Timor,, not flit ,
servilit y nor the ingratitude of the Athenian
Lords, nor the madness of misantimpy, seem so
exaggerated in rending as on seeing the Play. One
does not embody the ideas and images so distinctly,
and what in tile former instance looks only strongly
coloured, becomes in the latter unnatural and cari-
catured. 'lhroughont, the whole of the perform-
RIICe we were never touched. Sympathy has no-
thing to do with the fall of Ti»ion. His magisi
ficenec is Mere mad excess, his misery equally ex-
travagant, and cis death obscure without gran-
deur, melancholy without interest.
Of Mr. KaAN'S representation we should be Sorry
to say that it was a failure, because we do
not think it is within the power of much
talents titan kis to recommend Tinton to our fa-
your. We. had, Where they could be introduced,
his accustomed starts; his lOoks of jaw-dropping
horror, his applications to head and breast, and
his fixed gaze of sorrow nr pbrenzy. What Actor
could do more ? But we had besides some of his
pauses, and one of them in particular, between
the words' " into the woods" and " where," so
long, so inapt, and so destructive of sense, that
even the fine attitude assumed by wig of hyphen
could by no mean: compensate for the transgres-
sion. There were nevertheless various passages of
power in his performance, and the Empty Banquet
Scene was exceedingly well managed throughout.
lo the violent declamations after he has fled from the
busy haunt of men, Mr. KEAN'S voice was much
against him—in those of a taunting and ironical
nature, where the speaking is more level and the
expression less phrensied, he was more success-
Jul. Upon the w hale, a criterion may be formed
of his sitccess in the part by ob,erving, that he
never elicited onemf those tumultuous bursts of
applause which, his admirers are apt to bestow on
his best CXCI tiotts,,
We imagined dpemantus was a Cymie, till we
saw M. llatiattuott,---and though he Made a very
portly respectable' looking Phi/0, We confess we
were not surprised at the contumely with which
Timtea treated him. " Rogne ! Rogue ! Rogue L'
—and " Beast'. Beast 1.. Beast !" were extremely
when buoilied between them in their
last interview. Lie mistook the character, and
had nothing peculiar but a botizontal swing of

the left arm.
Mr. IloLLAsn, in Flavius (ttte Old Steward),
was truly excellent. He seemly quite at hoine in
such parts, and displays feeling, force, and ARE
whic:l confer on him a very respectable rank in
the Drama. Mr. WALLACK looked and performed

diribivats .vxtremely w•4l. Ilis pleading in the
Semite was very effective, bertral of the
Scenes are' eminently beautiful, and' the pro.
polies altogether classical end- grand. We
moot applaud the liberality of the Managers in
doing this honour to SuAKEsPaaavi and'uoy. re-
gret that thelahrick 61) which they have hestow,4l
the expense is not calculated to attract sufficiently

to repay them. .
The Farce of Each for Motif was doi►e lite-

sentative of the Classic Hero that the Modern Stage
has ever exhibited. But his Coria/anus is so tho-
roughly known, that we must noW only say, that he
pet fortved it with the Most ndmirable spirit. Time
may pass upon the great Actor at; upon other men,
but on this man its passing Itas not enfeebled

nation art the idsolence irr the tribune', his enthu.
iii46lll in the field, his sudden return of beats
to nature, and filial humility, and a husband's
love were applauded " to the very echo,"
and deserved all their applause.. This series of

Let him tecruit his strength by such retirement as
he May please ; let him give his leisure to the 'Haul.

as be will ; but let us not give up our right at all

on the British Stage, a itian who would have

Miss O'Nett.t.'s Yqunmia was very able. The
part was of course unsuited to her peculiar
powers ; and her youth and slightness formed u.
silignlar contrast to the maturity and masculine
grandeur of her illusttious son. - lint in all that
depended on conception ot the part, she produced
a striking effect. miss O'Neal. has but one 'fault
---an obvious determination to treed in the step,
of Mrs. Stnoutis. This is unwise; she has a
province of her own—an exenisite, and, even an
extensive dOminion. The woman whom she toils

genius of some 4f those mighty and AlENClitilttit
