Tke comedy of The Way to Get Married was
peffotrned at this houfe yefterday evenint,a, for the
purpdfe of introducing Mils Wapnir in-the cha-
raaer of jufia Faulkner.

. This young Lady. who does not appear to be
more than feventeen years of age, is the daughter
of Mr. WADDY, who has long held a refpeftable
fituation in the fame Theatre, and made her entrie
in the chara&er laft feafon, for her father's bene-
fit. In confidering her effort of yeflerday evening
as her fecond attempt on any nage, as well as her
extreme youth, we feel ourfelves juftified in pro.
nouncing it one of the molt fuccefsful appearances
that have for many years bean made on the boards
of either houfe. Her perfon poffeffes great fym.
metry, and is uncommonly elegant; her coun-
tenance is beautiful and expreilive, and her de-
portment and adlion are utiaffeeted and graceful.
Although her voice is not yet completely formed,
it is diftinguifhed for clearnefs, flexibility, and
many interetting tones. The charaeter of jufits
the has evidently Ruched with great attention,
and' the fucceeded in giving to the prominent
paffages all the effeet of which they are fufceptible.
—The dialogue was delivered in unifon with the
feelings of the heart; and the fcene in which the
implores the affiffance of Miff ALypiee, Tangent,
and Dajkall, to' Tele* her father from prifor,
proved truly affecting. Her performance through-
out was rewarded, as it deferved, with general
and reiterated applaufe ; and we have no douk
that her talents, if- properly cultivated, will rain
her to an eminent rank among the profetlbrs of
the art.

The Tangent of Mr. Lewis =tinkles ko be a chfj
d'auvre in that kind of aging.
MUN DEN and Mrs. MATTOC ZS alto gave power,
ful fupport to the Comedy, which, amicift all its
wildnefs, does not want interca or power of enter.
,tainment.

The audience was numerous, and the boxes
difplayed more faihion than we have witneffed
time the commencement of the feafon.

The ROYAL FA MI LY left Kew Palace early yef.
terday morning for Windfor, to reticle, it is ex.
