Benefit last night. fie pluYed Every

was completely at a stand. After a pause ()flume

explanation

2rlosuss has el complete chano of dress. He has unfurtu-
traiely torptten it, and requests your indulgence fUr a few

This was well received ; the scene fell, and the

COVENT-CARDEN..—Lust night Mr. Co v.
took his benefit at this Theatre, when The Ladle
was pr,,sented according to its orikinal cast, and,
with the farce 01 The Turning of the Shreta, "at-
tracted, if the merits of Mr C. did not perform
that service, an elegant and overflowing horse.--
We are tint prone to the addition of private Oalte-
gyeic to the ptaise of public desert,when noticing
histrionic performances; hest when the appeal
is made to tue Public, as on benefit nights, and the
verdict Is fair, we may be excused for stating the
satisfaction we receive, its °Nerving, that tint only
theatrical talent, but worth anti respectability off
Cite stage, are duly appreciated and patronized by
a discerning people. In this point of view, the,
lintoper which rewarded Mr. CoNWAY'9 dilikence,
exertions, and abilities in the discharge ()Chia pro-
fessional duties, and at the same time his gentle-
nsanly, unassuming, and honourable deportment
in private ide, was alike gratifying iss du Oct of
discrimination and of justice. The play .went off
with eclat ; and in the afterpiece the acting of
Petruchiu proved mow deserving Mr. CONWAY was
of the favour hr experienced.
