the loftier traits of the character—rise young
'estricated from a seven ears' eYile, and sttugglmg for
a throne, were not mxtked With the vigour requidte
to identify the perfofther with the character. It was
• far too infantine, and much cos hurried in its manner.
Mr. MUDS filled the part of Rorharossa very respect.
• ably; this Gentleman promises to be a useful acquisi-
'eon. Mr. C,OPIS played the part of (Rieman with
judgerte,t. The part of iophira was performed in a
tolerably good style by Mrs. W. WEST; and that of
-Irene found& modest and interesting representative in
• Mies I. Perms. At the fall of the curtain, W. KEAN'S
'friends were injudicious enough to insist upon his com-
ing forward, which provoked some hisses which he
• would otherwise have escaped. The Ts agedy was fol-
lowed by a new Melodrama, entitled Vie Gambler's
Fate,' or, A Lapse of Taint., *Years..
- ' Is le a translation from the French piece which-hasobtained so
inatibisapularity in Paris, end has been Meads, played at some of
leek minor Theatres. It has been pet lota Iwo Arty, and only the
two periods of the Gambler's life, his marriage, aid his end, are
-ezhibiteeL In the early scenes hi, father is sheens as the victim
of his crimes, end after escaping from prison he is led by his ow*
genius, the superior villain, to murder an innocent man for the
act of the wretch who prompts hint. The second Act discovers'
him, after the lapse of twenty years, reduced to the lowest'
depths of poverty in a miserable hovel on the fled Mountain/S.
in Germany.• A traveller relieves him, and, tempted by the
from which he has been succoured, he repays the henry
by Murdering the stranger, and returns to save his wife and
starvation. Here they see interrupted by a wandering
garUokm wretched than they have been, crawling to seek relief
rain from their misery. He proves to be the companion of Al.
bert'seerly crimes, the frkod who led hint to bisdestroction: Hal
spin succeeds in duping him b? necking wpoo Ike inearr)gible
feelings of the gandaler, and induces him to share Ii tbe warier of
another traveller who bas arrived at No bevel, and *horn user
have discovered to be in the possessioe of Wealth. This Imp fact,
the son of Albert, come to relieve aim hem his poverty alndesurs
lie his seen and disclosed iiintself to his mother, and walk she a
seeking h:r husband with the happy tidings, tbe(mher beeennei a
participator in the murder of known lam Wisearma is discovered..
the lightning having fired the hovel, Albert sashes upon his tempter,
and the two gamblers in mortal struggle perish in the Junes.
In the construction of this piece there it undoubtedly-
& good deal of talent, and it as certainly affords some
powerful situation's for displaying the abilities of the
actor. But leaving the long disputed question of moral
effect out of view, we confess we are nut fortunate
enough to find amusement its an exhibition of the most
revolting scenes of human depravity and 'human suffer-
ing which the mind can picture. The sentiments ex-
cited from the beginning to the end of the piece are-
those of disgust and horror, and it is impossible to wit-
ness its representation without enduring them in an
intensely painful degree. The acting of WALLACIL.
Coors, and Mrs. Wear, was all excellent. The piece
excited deep attention, but not much applause during
its progress; and in the cad the audience were far front
agreeing in their verdict.. •.. . ,
COVEDIT.GARDSN.
The appearanceOf Mr. Kam; at this Theatre, yester;
day teeming, filled the house in every part before the
rising of the curtain. The play selected was the Mer.
chant of Venice, the same in which Mr. XlitAN made his
Are impression upon the town ; and in which no actor,
perhaps tas he played originally). ever produced any
thing like the same effect: Since that time the value of
bit perk:manta has fluctuated; but even at their
lowest level they have seldom failed to exhibit symp-
toms which redeemed them from the character of being
commonplace; -and, judging from what we saw last
night, we should . say that they are likely to be better
this season then they were in the last. A good
lest of the physical strength that formed so im•
portant a feature in his acting is gone; but in the
absence of that engine he resorts to other and more.
temperate Modes of expressing his feeling, which are
frequently highly successful. His voice, in particular,
is still quite uninjured; and his whisper as audible as
ever in the farthest parts of the theatre; and although
he went through his character Oenerally) with less
fierceness of passion than we have seen him formerly ex-
hibit, yet the scene inihe third act with Tuba. the phi-
lippic to Solaria and Solaria., and the last scene in
which he appears--the scene of the judgewnt—were
mat lied by all those excelleucies which have raised
him to the summit of his profession. The play
was strongly cast. Mr. CHAIM'S KLIIIELZ with
very good judgment, strengthened it by performing
Bonsai° himself. His figure and deportment rendered
this character (that which it might always be) highly
itaportant and conspicuous in the drama; and he must
have felt rewarded by seeing that be fully shared the
applause of the evening with those performers who had
far more opportunities allowed them for exhibition.
Misr JASICIIN and Miss GOIEA RD played the parts of
Portia and Nerissa. The fug was successful in the ear-
lier portions of her character, but she failed in the council
Kerr ; her delivery of the desciiption of morey wants tui-
-11013 and vigorous rehearsal. MISS GOWA an wes better in
Nairn than usual, because she made less don. to be
effective. At the close of the scene Mr. Kitts peas called
fora practice which would be extremely well aban-
doned in our Theatres altogether; as the toleration of
it tinder circumstances of auusual excitement always
leads to clumsy attempts to employ it, either white
that excitement does not really exist, or where, having
existed, it ;steer. On this occasion,however, the call
was extremely well got rid of by fr. Csmittel KM•
lit% who having retired when it avow, returned in a
few moments, and begged to address I very few its
to the audience. He then stated, that r 4 Mr. Kim,.
being indisposed and much fatiguedb • had kft the
Theatre as loon as his part concluded, and was not to be
found. Under such circumstances, the audience would
perceive that it was impossible he mould have the honour
of obeyina their commaads ; but it was unnecessary for
him thfr. ktraet.t) to say how highly flattered l'afr.K EA al
w"l4 feel, whentney were communicated to him." This
short and very sensible apology completely satisfied all
Parties, and the Merchant of Venice was then announced
for repetition on Wednesday evening.
Peter Wilkins concluded the entertainments, and was
sell played and well received.

and met with a reception almost unpiecedented, even
in the very many successful productions of the pre
management. It is a close translation of a

piece of the same name. which has for some title tile
a favourite at one of the Parisian Theatres. It will

we think, prove not less attractive in its English o.
and from the manner in which is has been got op, frets,
the very excellent acting of TiRRY. T. P. Count:, YATtir
and-Mrs, Pore I who made her first a ppeararce here from'
the. boards of Drury), and above all from the moral it
Emile stes, is likely to have a very long ton through the
iiatin. The frightful picture which it draws of a•
gaiubler's life, though given in the very strongest
Welles, is by no means overcharged. • It *does not et
hibit the 'slow and minute gradations by which tte'
isfatuarions of the gaming table lead its wretched: trit
rules from the cornparative., innocents of the noSiet
play, to the deep villainy. -of the old and 'prised e
gambler. It takes a better cower. It selects a single
instance, exhibits a young man just entering is; s life;
and ensn red amongst a set of gaming sharpers—shows
him again at the end of fifteen years, when we find
him a confi med games er, disdaining no trick, how-
ever mean a3d dishonourable, to supply the means
of gratifying his insatiable pa•siisn, regardless of the
misery which he is bringing on all around him,—
In 15 years farther, we see, i.istead of the gay and
da'shing man of fashion, mixiig in all the pltastues of
rthe day but making them all imhservient to his darling'
passion, we find a wretched outcast from society,
banished from the haunts of men for his crimes, and, at
last, when•pther resources fail, not sompi- even'
crime of murder, to supply the wantc hi
vipus folly had created. The tictur,
imaginat;on ; the reldity of such a
in a dreadful instance a few years
piece of last night was divided in.
,In the first, Theodore (Mr. T. P.
of a man of fortune, just on the
riage with atiedie a Lady of youth ,
Pons), is seduced to a gaming table,
Terrier (Taitue). He there loses the money
got to purchase wedding jewels, and, in his endeavours
to supply his lots, involves himself in a situation of great
peril and disgrace. He resolves to quit the gaming table.
The value of his resolution is seen i the next act, where,
at the end of another fifteen year is found a pro•
fetus' gambler, having squandered his 'own patri-
mony, and -endeavouting by the meanest shifts to
cajole'his wife out of her settlement, in order to pro-
tect him from the effects of the crime (forgery) by
which he had endeavoured to keep up his wife's credit.,
In the last act we find him an outcast. a villain, and a'
murderer, and at length-losing his life in the attempt
to rob and murder aittr, inger„ who turns oat to be his
own son. Ti.e long Clotinuesi and patient suffering of

friend, but the attful and designing gasabkrir-a
Allan in whose breast the love of play had withered all
the kind feelings of our nature—was more than usually
effective. YA ries, al the son, in the last act, did as much
as his part. (;a very 'shisri rine) allowed him. The other
parts were well catt. With respect to the scenery, the
last scene, representing an abyss, was superior to any
thing we•have seen at this theatre, and indeed as most
ethers; it was exceedingly, well managed, some maid
it being full six feet below the level of the stage.

BATTLE OF THE BLACK AND WHITE SWANK '

Mr.

Faou s CoanasPounatcr.—l was walking between
four•and five o'clock on Saturday afternoon in the Re.
gent's Park, when my attention was attracted by as
unusual noise on the water, which I soon ascertained to
arise from a furious attack made by two white swan,
en the solitary black one. The allied couple pursued '
with the greatest ferocity the unfortunate rasa title,
and one of them succeeded in getting the neck of his
enemy between his bill and shaking it violently. The
poor black with difficulty extricated himself from
ibis murderous grasp, hurried on shore, tottered a few
paces from the water's edge, and fell. His drub ip.
pealed to be attended with great agony, stretching his
nick in the air, fluttering his wings, and attempting to
rise from the ground. At length, alter about five m;nutes'
of suffering, be made s Last eff rt to rise, and fell with.,
outstretched neck and wings. One of the keepers tame
up at the moment, and found the poor bird dead. It is
remarkable that his toes never left the Water in pursuit,
but continued sailing up and-dswntcstbe spot eheteso:
their victim fell, with ,every fends', on end, and.*
latently proud of their conquest. .•., • .

Thursday a mason of the name of atenteeMbrllllllo6
was laying the pavement in the upper landin of Abet
staircase in one of the houses now finishing its' Mpg.y
place, Edinburgh, he lost his balance, and Wilma
Istories, a height of SO feet. He was carried to his open
house, and surgical assistance immediately got, buttin•
evadingly, as he died nest morning about. fire o'clock.
Thursday mousing, a most unfortunate occurrence
took place at Brampton, proceeding from the foolish
and almost culpable practice of firing pis ors at masts.
Mr.itichard Cheesewright, aged 2‘4, was thus amusing
himself, with two friends, ins garden, before breakfast,
when he accidentally stumbled, and fell, having in his
hand a pistol, loaded with ball t he fell with his breast
On the muzzle of the pistol, which at the moment went
•ff, and the ball passed through his body, on the tight-
hand side, having perforated his liver. The unfortunate
youth expired on Fn iday at four o'clock, all surgical-
aid having proved vain.
Sa orday mining an accident, which in a short time
terminated fatally, occurred at the Isle of Dogs, to one
of the men employed in quarrying stones there for the
werks of the New London-Bridge. It appears that a
carriage heivily laden with stone, whilst being propellred '
along a gradual descent of . a met it railway, came in
contact with one of the labourers, and hurling him to
Nee ground, rolled its enormoos• weight over his abdo-
Men anTi chest. The melancholy cons•quenee was, he
was the nest instant laid prortrate.- He was taken ap
'dreadfully crushed, "and carried to St. Thomas's Hospi-
tal, where, hill' van hour after admission, he breathed
his last in a state of grat agony.
