COVENT-GARD$N.—Last night Mr. Baum who

the character ot Sir rertinnx Macescothastt, again
came forward in the part of Shyloci, in The Merchant
of Penite, and in that of Sir ifrchy Name-cam in Love
a.la Mode. Mr. Bossy *hewed, generally, a just con-
ception off' the Jew that SIIAKISPF:ARIC drew," but
Ulm was a vehemence of action, utterance, al ges-
ticulation not suited to the "cunning of the scene,"
of which he rarely divested himself. 'Die best part
of his acting was in. the..trill 'scene. The good
hitmour and the candour of the audience were emi-
nently conspicuous in repressing is 1110 position w high,
at intervals, displayed itself in a very injudicious•
manner against Mr. Maar, who, to the end of his
part, received decisive proofs of general good-Will.—
In the part of Sir .rircley Mateareasns he exhibited a
greater degtee of ease and' familiarity with the
Scottish dialect than appeared in his performance of
Sir Perilous Matrieophant, and he was received with
considerable applause throughout the Piece.
