COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

Last night there was another opportunity for the
display of the promising talents of Mr. Coswav and
Ors. M.Gineox, in the characters of Anfer and Bel-
videre, in the play of Veniie Preserved. It is gratifying
in the extreme to give applause where it has been
earned by exertions of no common order ; and of such
a character do we deem the efforts of the j,thfer and
Belvidere of lust night. The affectionate and lofty-
souled Jailer was most powerfully' ppurtrayed by Mr.
C. Many portions of his performance might besse-
lected as successful above the rest, particularly Joker':
account of the old Friuli's abortive attempts on the
honour 'of Belvidere, who was given as the hostage of
her husband's truth, as well as his narrating the treat-
ment which he received from Pierre after the plot had
been discovered, concluding with the ejaculation which
seemed to agonise his soul—
" By Heaven, l be stria me:"
The threats of the Senate to torture were also received
with the firmness of a man whose injuries had wr:aight
in him any thing but the fear of pains and death : of
one whom while he cared not to live, yet would rather
die than have it thought of him that secrets, which they
who threatened, trembled to know, had been wrung
from him by placing the rack before his mind's eye.
—Of Mrs. *GIBBON'S Bgividera we must speak most
favourably. The conflict between filial and conjugal
affection—the anxious daughter, and the desponding
yet still hoping wife—were finely pourtrayed ; and
the skilful delineations in the earlier teems were even
I surpassed by the concluding one—her delirium and
it death. These performers were both enthusiastically
received, by a fashionably crowded house.
Not to speak of Mr. Yot:vo's Pierre must not be
deemed neglect of that Gentleman's great taleuts, as
his personification of that part is well known. The
haughty-souled Pierre—the " bold-faced villain,"
whom we must admire for his greatness, though he
was a traitor, and seemed to have no good motive
for what he did—has seldom found a better supporter
than Mr. YOUNG: He so performs it as to leave us
nothing more to with for.
The play, on the whole, went off well, and the
new after-piece of The Miller end his Mea detained and
delighted to the last, as full and fashionable an au-
dience as we have seen assembled during the present
most successful season at this Theatre.

Henry the Fifth, or the Conqueit of Framer, is getting
up in fine style at Covent-Garden.
The Covent-Garden Manager is bestowing much
attention upon the interesting play of Anthony and Cko-
patra, which is shortly to be revived at this Theatre.
The new Comedy at Drury-lane Theatre is to be
immediately succeeded by a Melo-Drame of unprece•
dented splendour, which has been in preparation since
the last season.
A young Gentleman of Ireland observed, that he
was possessed of but one dog, a great favourite ; and
*lamented that be was left in the country. A friend
of his inquired is what sort of dog ?" “ He answered
he was a Newfouridtand dog ;" Was l" repeated
his friend. ,g Oh 1 indeed he u (replied the young
Hibernian), but he is dead, and I've got another."
A Country Paper notices the sudden death of a
strolling player, after drinking twenty-six slams of
gin a punster observed, that such *a exit was most
dram-atic.
BONAPARTE, like a rash conjuror, has raised around
him a circle of infuriated spirit:. Here his power seems
to have terminated, for his efforts to lay then appear
perfectly futile.
The aptitude of
.the names of certain Heroes for
their high callings is 'singular. The Champion of
the English Jerry Sneak was Major Sturgeon, of face.
tious memory ; the Aides-de-Camp of Jerry Sneak of
Germany, alias JEROME King of Westphalia, are
named Flee, TROTT, and WAGGONER. They remind
us of BardoYsh, Pistol, and Pao.
