hiILHY-LANF.-I'he Tragedy of Othello, acted at
th's r.eatre on Saturday night, afforded us, for the
third time, the high gratification of seeing Mr. KLAN
nal Mr. MAY WOOD in the parts of Othello and logo. On
the merits of KRAN it is not now fur criticism to ex-
patiate; the popular yoke has long since raised.him
to an eminence beyond the reach of appeal ; and
truth must be content either to sanction the award, or
retire in silence to her cell. h"-r. _MAywoon has yet
his meed of renown to obtain ; his talents remain still
to be made nationally known. Of the two characters,
(44.1:c and !ago, every one, we believe, will allow
that the weight of difficulty lies with the latter. The
jealous Moor is a being wholly made up of the purest
natutal impulses, in aid of the effective exhibition of
which, many of the better sympathies both of the
actor and auditor powerfully concur. The double
dealing Ancient, on the contrary, is a being whose
retry thought and deed is at war with humanity—a
damned compound of craft, cruelty, lust and.ambi-
bition—a monster who, in his utter want of remorse
as in his helliah villainy, presents only those devilish
aspects with which devilish natures alone can be ex-
pected to affiliate. In his eloquence Otheiks is wholly
the child of feeling and of passion, and all his acts
ate of that single, straight forward character which
become the liero of a round unvarnished tale,"
whose only witchcraft was a noble simplicity. The
eloquence of logo, on the other hand, is all a char of
zit, in shod. he endeavours to deck out she hats ful 11-
genderings ol a demon iac I ancy ; and his whole course
of scion is through a labyrinth of mime, every maze
of which the actor who represents him must make dis-
tinctly manifest to the observer, a ithoot suffering it to
emerge from that &old of night in which it is fit the
ways of villainy should be kept enshrouded. The
.epresentative of logo, in short, has to realize on the
stage, what is thought to fours the greatest triumph
nthe canvass ; he has 'to exhibit a clear obscure more
triking than the meridian light itself...-In thus point-
sag out how supers rly mfficult the part of bp is,
e are far from having ast y view
,to depreciate the
hanee by which it has falters to the lo: of Mr. MAY-
GOD to represent it, or any idea that the parts could
better cast than they have been. In Utheha we
',IA Mr. KLAN is greater than in any other char.c.
he represents, and decidedly greater than it is
ttlan the range of Mr. M.tvwoots's vi,sters to be ; iu
Gar again, we thistle Mr. MAYW-CD is supetior to
ir. Kean, and has produced a muse efficient rt.pre-
aation of that character than Mr. KLAN has yet
.roved himselt equal to. The qualities which fit
Mmtwoon for excelling as logo, are obvious
sugh ; his eyes have an exist. sliveness in their
sliest moments which Mr. Kmta's can only boast of
the tempest of action; Isis voice is of a more
tyro, cogitating, and persuasive tone; his expression
irnore independent of obtrusive action, bespeaking
taticlable disdain of all trick and finesse—anJ above
t he is mach nicer than Mr. KZAN in his discernments,

Pests the whole of his perfcrrmanee on Saturday night
tinoited ample proof. It snuck us as particularly
:-inspicuons in those trying scenes of she piece in
tli•ch he affects to " mince the matter" of Couirr's
'fence, and afterwards goads into life the jealousy of
Mror. The hypocritical pathos with which he
tires Othear, " My Lord, you know I you"—
air of honest good will with which he affects to
tire from the imputation against Derek:norm': inno-
lice, exclaiming, a Long live she so, and long live
to Mini so," and the cunning avidity with which,
the Moor': rejoining a and yet how nature, erring
itself," he returns to the charge, and, taking up
course of doubt his poor victim has started, pours
t his last bold avowal of kis suspicions, were all in
ityle of the highest escelflnce. Net was Mr. MAT-
s's felicity in these and other *striking passages,
paired by any unnecessary falling off in others of
Import. His performance yeas well and equally
tuned throughout, and such on the whole as calls
us to congratulate Old Drury on having made
rare an accession to the genius and talent which it
?beady the good fortune to rank under its banners.
