THK NKW PLAY.

A new historical play, called The fisraossa, or The free of Paris
in 1449, was performed on Friday night at Mary-lane Theatre to a
habitant& and numerous audience. The incidents are connected
with the commotion which troubled Frame, and particularly the
City of Paris, during the minority of Loins the XIV. through
the intriguing spirit cat Cardinal Masao's, •' and the author has
every reason to be satisfied with the tribute bestowed last night
on kis merit.. He has contrived to work up a most agreeable
dramatic antertainnteut from the materials before hint ; and
believing, as we JO, that historical plays, as wcU as historical
novels and romances, are valuable additions to our general
stock of literature. we trust that the author—said to be Mr.
Paiincno—will continue to and himself of the feline sources
of modern, as well as ancient, history, fur his agreeable labour.. la
the representation of the Paerneses,we had those popular performers,
LWOW, Joann, Coates, and Vines. Miss R. Tess sustained th.•
part of the Duchess de Lresserille with great effect ; and blies Love
was arch and artful enough in the character of Geergetis, Deice to
Ardent (Immo). a rich citizen, whose latleftee among the coo.
Skiing parties and opinions of the time are pourtrayed with a kind
of farcical horror that, la Larrom's bands. is ludicrous in the ex-
treme. The Play was applauded is every acme and given est foe
repetition with the decided approbation of the audience.

SURRRY.

Sttorday evening, lk. &amen performed the part of Ranger
in the old Comedy of theillonliciests Hodeed. Time tells tales of
Mr. Bt tierce ; his activity is abridged much, hut his conception
anJ delivery is still the &Luna of old as the rake Ranger. 'rho
Comedy altogether is respectably got up at this House, and was
much applauded by a well Ailed House.
In the Aftetpiece, Botheration afforded a favourable oppor-
tunity fur the displ.iy of Mr. Wynne, and Mr. Wan as Tbilisi
Itlltangey, whose Irish songs were all encored.
The general character of the performances at this House are
such as must ensure that reward to the hbasager which his caw
dons deserve.
