It will be seen front the sketch we have given,
the plot of this piece abounds sufficiently is
tive characters and striking situations, to interest a:al
keep alive the attention of an audience, but at the
same time it can escape the observation of ark.ody
who is acquainted with the A,,ostate, that ease is
scarcely one of these char:tete: s or situations a neater
exact prototype of which may not be fC71,1 in t'..,at
previous Trledy of the Author's. It is atia a
3foots and Spaniards--of Moslem palaces a...d
quisition dungeons--of inexorable rivals and devoted
lovers—of beauty in jeopardy, and faith stedast unto
death, that the Author has essayed to form his tragic
story. Again we have a heroine who has a rot
deal of most cruel work to go through, without a
single female attendant to aid her --vith an occlierg
supply of sal volatile, or help her to a dry haraller-
chief—again we have a hero whose own ridiculous
obstinacy is the cause of all the misery he brings upon
himself and the ill-requited partner of his fortaea.
—The only thing we could discern really novel in tax
Piece, is the addition to the dramatis persona of a
little child, who neither talks nor cries; bet is 'op:
in constant still-life attendance, to assist now nod
then, in setting the machinery of the Piece agoing,
when it would otherwise be at a dead stand; ce to
speak perhaps more plainly, who is made use of to
slew the ascendancy of maternal over all other feel-
ings: an ascendancy which might have ken quite as
well demonstrated without the presence of the child,
or by dandling a wax doll in its stead. When we
add -to all the points of resemblance we have now
stated, that the same extravagance of circumstance
—the same torturing of humanity—the same heat-
tearing desperation which distinszuished all the
scenes of the Apostate, are equally the distingeish-
in.; features of The Doll of Tunis, we hare state
nearly all that is necessary to give our Readers a
pretty accurate idea of the merits of the Piece.—
Mr. SHIEL is, we think, much to blame ass
thus following himself so closely ; we think so
Ily of his powers, as even to feel something like an-
ger with him for it. He has shewn by his former
productions that he does not want invention, area ire
ought to have shewn by the present that the canna-
:lance the Public have bestowed upon his labours has
had its proper influence in stimulating him to cart
that invention with all the effect in his power. 11e
language of the Piece is, as far as us can judge,
rather superior to that of the Apostate, equAllY
roue, but more chastened and laarrnonious•—""e
parts were all admirably well represented; that of
Miss O'NEIL, in particular, can never be lauded too
highly. The decision of the audience A the close
was unanimously favourable; and with all its faults
there is every probability the piece will bale asuc-
cessful run.

Wm. Stewart, T. Corry, R. Wardlow, G. Hated:,
Morkarat Dowd, were hanged at Lancaster on Satur-
day last, pursuant to their sentences at the last As-
sizes. They all appeared penitent at the fatal WV,
and behaved as became their awful situation.
