171URY-LANE THEATRE.

The Tragedy of Jane Shore—a drama professedly
written in imitation of SHAICSPIARIN but as much op.
posed to the nervoos and forcible style of our great poet
as monotony is opposed to genius—was last night re.,
presented. Miss Paut.Cles appeared. for the first time,
as the maul and repentant heroine of the Tragedy,
And her success in pourtraying tbe.sorrows of tl,e us-
hippy victims of royal intrigue and sensuality was lino
equivocal. She threw around the character a halts,
• f gentleness. of unaffected humility, of penitent low-
liness. and self.abasestent, which ei.listed, every
compassionate feeling in favour of the fair unfit%
_meats, which disarmed the censure of sleek lentil
morality, and called on the heart rather to ese.
crate her beuayer and her persecutors, than to reflect.
with harshness on her whose cup of sorrow was filled
(wen to overflowing. There are but few scenes in the
in which the stronger passions of Jane Shore are
excited; and in these Miss PHILLIPS acted with eons.
mending energy. The manner in which she rejected the
overture of Hastier was marked by a lofty disdain—
the aligning of an unfeigned detestation of her formes
error, and of a firm determination to retrieve it by e
course of irreproachable toad uct. and pleased us greatly;
but the interview with Gloister was still finer. The
apostrophe, when she learns from the tyraqt that Hast-
ings will not consent to set aside the children of Eduard,
Iteward Mho for the righteous deed, jest Heaven.'
was as natural and as impassioned an appeal as the
stage has witnessed for some years. and was exquisitely
COOP osied with the "'bated breath and whispering

she is spurned forth by (Slo'seees orders, 'she acknow-
ledges het guilt, and bows c•intritely before that super-
nal pmwei whose laws she has violated. king and ge-
neral, and justly -deserved applause followed this scene.
Nor can we give less comusendationlo her dying scene;
it was exceedingly affecting. The recognition of her in•
jete.i husband was peculiary touching. Her look. her
voice, her attitude, told a story of heartbreaking wretch-
edness, ot tile consuming grict,that even a stoic, or—what
is mote extraordinary still. a critic—could not witness
unmoved. Mt. Touso, of course, appeared as he has
been long wont to do, in the pail of Hastings. It is it
characer which. we Oink, no man pertencting to genies
ought to be ambitious of sustaining. Hastings is a
mouthing declaimer. and he who can declaim well mist-,
succeed in the part. Mr. Younces declamatory poweisi
are known so well. that it would be impertinent test
speak of them. Vie, however, like to see him in patty
where less of voice, and more of minclois requited. M.
Copan was a good representative ot Dumont. His
rexecustre with Mains was managed with vigoitr.
Mr. Cooties's Duassout was, like all that actor's ge
forts, satisfactory.

mingled feelings of anxiety and astonishment. '
The rnagnificaut new Spectacle concluded the per-
feematces, and went off with increased effect. The,
1 beauty of its scenery, and thevplendid dressei of its
enusually numerous dramatis persons, have never yet
been surpassed. It is almost incessantly applauded by,
a very crowded and highly gratifieJ auditory.

A most-lamentable instance if the hostile feeling in
peat schools has occurred -within these few days at
Westminster School, in the melancholy t.te of Master
Harrison, a youth of considerele attainments, shout
sizteen years of age, the son of an eminent trades-
man in Wardeur•stieet, Soho, and who, hoarded st
Se!cock's, in Dean's Yard. About a fortnight bine?,
according to the best information. two if the King's
scholars, named Crisi-k and Marsh, having cherished
some grudge towards poor Harrison, threw a large
stone at his head whilst he was going to .the Scho..l,
Which bt.uck htm with pleat violence upon the hack
of his skull, and sent him bleeding to Mr. Preston,

Illechately to Mr. W.lliaasson, the head master, then too
mach enga;ed to notice it attentively. By the eiterien
of .Mr. Preston, who was incligsiart at such outrageous
conduct, medical assistance was immediately obtained,
and ysong Harrison was removed to St. George's
Hobpital,-in order to be under the sopetintendeoce of his
own brother,wbo is a Surgeon, at prebent walking that
Hospital. Harrison, we are sorry to sac, became aor -e,
