' COVENT ...GARDEN THEATRE. Last night, Mr.
COLMAN'S Play-of the " hos Chest," -was performed
.at this Theatre, and, in our opinion, from the display
of talent it enabled Mr. YOUNG to make in Sir Edward

Mortimer, it is scarcely possible to offer a more delect-
able treat. In the scene inwhich Wilford touches his
.soul's chord on the subject of Alexander being a
itiuiderer, he was absolutely transported beyond mimic
powers, and.-appeared the tortured 'Mortimer himself.
The same praise may be hestoseed,op his performance
in the scene, where he discloses his secret, and of the.
last scene. Mr. HUNTLEY made his first appearance,
in the character of Wittb'rd, which he- stistiuitid willi

Mr. Fawcarr, tolerably welt—that is to sai, when he
acted the old steward he was very commendable ; but
then, he very often forgot himself and was young, and
also Mr. FAWCETTO.-LISTONyiII Samtron, played in his
usual manner, and kept the house in a laugh ;—and
EMERY, was as good an Orton as lie is a Barnardine.—
The female parts were well sustained ; Mrs. COATES
'performing Judah, instead of Mrs. C. Kasisme, fcr
whom an apology was made before the rising of the
curtain, and the play went off with great applause.
