It is scarcely necessary to add that the parts were
sustained, generally speaking, with ability. The ap-
proptiate action, tone, look, ,and gesture of every pas-
sage in these Plays have become almost traditional at
Westminster ; but )et there are boys who evince a
peculiar aptitude for the parts allotted to them. Such
was the case with Mr. DUNLOP, who, in the character of
Geta, displayed all the shrewdness of the Roman house-
hold slave, whose dramatic parallel is to be found in
the intriguing footman of the English Comedy of about
half a century ago. In the fifth act his relation of the
manner in which he became acquainted with the secret
of Chremes was acted with great spirit.

" hoc übi ego audivi, ad fores,
Suspense gradu, plaeide ire perrexi ; accessi ; adsthi :
Animam compressi : aurem adtuovi," &c.
Here the action was admirably suited to the word, and
the applause of the audience testified, at almost every
sentence, the skill of the young actor.
Pholmio too (Mr. PIIILLIMORE) supported his part
with much ability; as did Chremes (Mr. Roan:sox),
especially in the scene where the former declares his
knowledge of the double marriage.

The confident boidness of. the parasite, and the terror
of the old man for the consequences of the discovery,
were exhibited with an effect truly dramatic.
It is sufficient to notice these as prominent and
striking passages: as a whole, the performance VI di
highly creditable to the School, and in no degree de-
tracted from the reputation established by so many an-
nual performances.

The Lines entitled " What is Player ?" said to have
been transmitted to the late Mr. Faittalcroy by an unknown hand,
sacra written by Mr. bloarnanser, and are published in the cu.,.
leetion of his Poems.

It is a fact, we believe, not much known, that the
eel, though it lives in an element that seems to place
it beyond the reach of atmospheric Oranges, is yet sin-
gularly affected by high winds. This is well known
to the inhabitants of Linlithgow, who have an excellent
opportunity of observing the habits of that animal in
the loch adjoining the town. The stream which flows
out of that loch at the west end passes through a sluice,
and falls into an artificial stone reservoir, from which it
escapes by a number of holes in the sides and bottom.
These holes are too small to let eels of a common size
pass, and hence this reservoir answers the purpose
an eel-trap or cruive. The fish, however, are ia7e!y
found in it in calm weather; but when strong wi::s
blow, especially from the west, these tenants of the wa-
ters seem to be seized with a general panic, and hurry
from their lodgings like rots from a conflagration. A::
these times they rush through the outlet in crowds, am.
fall pell-mell into the reservoir, from which they are
speedily transfer red to the frying-pans of the bin gesses.
Dui ing the high winds within the last fortaightia ca: t-
load was taken out of the reservoir every daq, and Ili
one day no less than two cart-loads !
Mr. De Camp, Manager of the Sheffield Theatre, and
Mr. Mudie, principal performer, were lately broul;!,r
before the Alagistrates, on a charge of using threatenin
language, and for attempting to horsewhip Mr.ltichar.l
Howlden, of that town, bookseller, for having published
ceitain offensive remarks in a pamphlet, entitled the
heairical Examiner. TheNgistrates, alter hearing
the case at length, held Mr. .De Camp and Mr. Mude
in recognizances of fifty pounds each to kegs I to peace
towards the said Mr. Ilowlden.
