THE THEAT-RE.

COVENT-GARDEN,-_ young Lady, wholly
new to the Stage, made her first appearance last
night at this Theatre as Lucy Bertram, In the
Opera of Guy Maunering. 'The young Lady is
very short in stature, and embonpoint in form.
Her face is very pleasing, and capable of varied
expression. Her voice is powerful, extensive,
and agreeable in tone, but does not seem to be
sufficiently cultivated for the present implored
state of public taste. Her delivery .of the dialogue
was marked by good sense and feeling, and in
repulSing the daiing gallantry of Glossin, the
author of the ruin of her family and her-
self, she displayed a simple energy, which
justly excited the applause of the numerous
audience, who, indeed, filled the Theatre. She
was encored in the 'simg of " Hash thee Babe,''
which she gave with feeling. Though she is not
practised in Stage deportment, yet there was
something in her manner that may be stiled ladp-
like, and indicated her connexion with respectable
society. If we m'ay venture to descend to a com-
ment on female attire, we may Observe that the
extreme length of her dress, Which more titan eon-
cealet! her feet; gave her a dratefish aspect. Per-
haps had her drest been shatter, her figure,
though portly, would have appeerd to 'Much
greater advantage. The amiable sort of
ex-
pressintt which eharacterised her *hole men-
ner, evidently made a snare favourable
impre.-
sion upon the audience than perhaps she would
have obtained-merely on the score of talents, and
it is very honourable to the feelings of the audience
that they felt so generous an interest in the fair
Noviciate. Much allowenCe, indeeil, ought to be
made for her in following the steps of so interest-
ing and so accomplished a linger as Miss STE-
PHENS. The other characteri in the Opera were,
as usuel, well supported by LtiTust, ABBOTT,
EMERV, BLAN,OHARD, 'I'OKELY, PY NE (who wasencored in one of hiS songs), SisioteS and Mrs.
si
DAVENPORT. We must, hdwever, distinctly notice
Mrs. YATES) Who sustained the part of Meg
Merrilies with great energy, and with some pa-
thetic touchet by no means inconsistent With the
character, who is supposed to act t hrtiughout froth
good-motives, in a Manner that was deeply in-
teresting:
