WESTMINSTER PLAY.

The Adelphi of TXRIMS was performed last evening,
at Westminster School, by some of the higher boys,
The little theatre elected at the end of the School was
crowded to excess by a most respectable audience.
Among the distinguished characters present vice the
Bishop of Landaff, another Bishop (we believe the
Bishop of Bristol), the Dean cf Westminster. the Soli.
tor-General, &c. Sir William Curtis also attended the
play; and a considerable number of Ladies of distioc•
tion. chiefly the relatives of the actors. were present se
the occasion. The characters were allotted as follow—

before the rising of the curtain, one of the young
Gentlemen delivered a prologue prepared for the oc•
casion, in which allusion was made to the death of
the Duke of York, who had long befriended the
School, and for years regularly atfended the Christ•
mas plays. This part of the prologue was received with
loud applause. The play is not the most moral chit
could be put into the hands of young Gent!erne%
We have tao old men of repulsive or worthless charac•
tors—the one a sort of miserly, irtitable, and unsocial
being—the other gay and social, but the abettor or some
of the strongest passions that beset youth ; two females
of loose morals ;•it servant that would minister to the
licentious passions of his young master ; and another
character, of a still more revolting description, one who
wculd minister to the passions of any one that paid him.
There is a great excuse, however, for producing the piece,
as there are so few ancient plays that are not equally
blameable, and the conclusion of the Addp/ii maser
some amends for the licentious cbarac ter s int,uduce,l is o
it. On the whole it was very well perforated. Syr us (t
servant) pe• formed his part admirably. The expression
his countenance—his familiarity with his superiors—
the facility with which he performed his patt—aod the
proper emphasis which he gave to the words—sliorteil
that he had formed a correct idea of the atwitter.
The other servant ( Gek ) was not much behind him
The scene beta iat him and Sostrata, in the Sd act. de-
servedly excited great applause. He telt a natural ia•
dignation for the insult which had been offereJ to lilt
mistress, and expressed it with much feeling and effect.
His great object seemed to be, t s vent on the whole
family his rage before it evapor •ted. The old man le
would kill first—then dash out the brains of .Syrus, the
instigator—and summed up the fate of the *hole in die
following emphatic words...
Aduleseemt ipsl eriperem muftis, poetise pracipitem dares;
Cisterns ruerem. &germ, raperem tunderem et prosternerem.
Master COTH IR represented the old woman (So:trete)
uncommonly well. Master DAY likewise was' weer
effective as the reprobate ( &mein). The rest cf the
actors performed their parts very respectably. Some
parts of the Play excited great merriment. "'he fol-
lowing. in particular, trom Pansphila behind the scroll
was followed with bursts of laughter:
Mae ram me, (Wirer daloribes
Julio Latina, fer vein, serve me dwells
Such expressions. and such a scene in modern theatre's
would be followed, and deservedly, by very &Errol
marks of expression.
