so.faVonrahle and so promising an impression on
' the public in Leon, last night asitoned the more
difficult part of Octavian, in The Mountaineers.—
He fully completed all the promise attending his
former exertions. Strong feeliog, blended with cor-
rect judgment, marked his entire performance, and
he received the wartn applause of a numerous au-
dience. The great charm of this Gentleman's
acting is a total exeutption from all affectation,
all clap-traps, all sudden transitions from the solemn
to the familiar, by which ignorkint people are cheated
Out of applause. Miss E. BLANCHARD performed.
the part of Zorayda with delicacy and interest
It is a part of a placid nature, that floes not de-
mand mod) exertion, but it received adepiate
justice from this interesting young Loly.—Mrs.
CONNOR, a pleasing and elegant Actress, gave
good S11111)011 to Floranthe ; nod Mr. Cooir was
very easy and humorous in Killmallock. The
piece, altogether, was very well received.

Several rna:eri I alterations are making in the
Covent-Garden Company, preparatory to the re-
opening of the Theatre, in September next. Six-
cLAIR has given in his resignation, and the names
of Miss S. 13,00rn and Mrs. EGPRTON no longer
appear in tie Prompter's list. Amongst the new
engagements are those of Mks KELLY and her
sister, Mrs. HILL, Mrs. DICKoNS, NIFS. YEATES,
from Dublin; Miss SOMKRVILLE, Mr. PYNE, late
of Drury-Lane, and a Mr. HUNT, from the coun-
try. The whole of the hand, with the excep-
tion of Mr. \VARE, the Leader, and two others,
are discharged.

Mrs. IL SIDDONS is to conclude her engage-
ment at York. this evening, by performing Rosa-
lind, in As You Like It, and Arrianthis, in the

said, will play the ensuing season at Drury-lane.

She was to make her first appearance, this even-
ing, in the character of Roscaa.
The company, invited to the grand entertain-
ment given by TALMA to Mr. KEAN, at Paris, was
exceedingly numerons, consisting of all the dis,
tinguished artists in every line of the drama,
Ladies as writ as Gentlemen, at that time in the
French 'capital.

Barbadoes Papers to the 2d of May state, that
the SellliratlliS frigate, Comtnodore Sir JAMES YFo,
arrived off the island on the 16111 of Max', from
Os coast of Africa. She was expected to sail
again on the 28th of the same month, for Ja-
maica: and thence to England.

By the Trinidad Courant, of the 2d May, we
regret to learn, that on the preceding day a fire
took place in a wooden building in the town of
San Fernando, which communicated with such
rabidity to other houses of this description, that
in less than three hours ntarly the whole of the
town was consumed. The loss sustained on this
occasion must hare been very considerable; and
it appears, that about 200 hogsheads of sugar,
which had been placed there fur the purpose of
shipping, were destroyed.
Yesterday evening, a little after six o'clock,
as a Lady and Gentleman were walking round
Covent-garden aarket, in search of fruit, just as
they reached tl►e corner of the market, next Iti-
cliardsott's Hotel, where the ruffian mob were
accustn►ned to pelt during the Election, the Lady
received a violent blow on her month from some
hard substance, which immediately afterwards
struck-her breast, and fur the moment seemed to
deprive her of breath. Although she pointed ant
the unmanly wretch who had thus assaulted her,
and the Gentleman who accompanied her endea-
voured to identity hint, the rattble took immediate
part with her assailant, and herself and compa=
niop were obliged to retire amidst the rejoicings
of the tui3creiltits.
