.

pearance, in the character of Macbeth, and was re.
ceived with the same enthusiastic acelanations Which
cheered his reception on Saturday night. His per-
formance of this character was marked with his •
usual ji4dgment; and at no period of his lite did he

sary to display the arduous part he had undertaken.

impelled him to the commission of crime, were yet
Amble to stifle the remorse which conscience ulti-
thately unfolds, were admirably displayed. In a
performance where perfection reigned, it were difficult
to point out select passages ; but it we were to make

where Macbeth is informed of the fulfilment of the
11/etcher' prediction, that be should never tall

" Till llirnam Wood should come to Dutssinana."
Here the mingled emotions of astonishment and de.
spair seemed to have carried the actor beyond the
,boundt of scenic representation, and he appeared be-
fore the aodiance in the fall display of one of the
most difficult characters of our immortal Bard. His
scene with iffacduif was admirable, and. drew forth
continued plaudits.—Mrs. favorr's Lady Macbeth
was a very respectable effort, and, could we torget the
talents of Mrs. SIDDONS, we might add, a most success.
