DRURY•LANE.

The play of Lovers' Pines was given at this theatre
last night, principally for the purpose of affording
young Mr.-Kaan- an opportunity of appearing in ano-
ther character. He had been promised to us as Masse°
for the last month or six weeks, which is a character
of a more smiled, if not of a mole arduous descrip-
tion,• and would, in consequence, have furnished a
better test for determining the curia of his disputed
powers. What he had to do as Frederick he did
well. It requites only the display of such passions
as a very young man may be supposed familiar -with ;
of hie capability of expressing. such as: ate if not
higher, yet more eisiiipfeC we are therefore still left
toiler*. The scene in which he was most successful
was that in which he declass:, himself to his fatl.er,
in which he was highly and deservedly applAutled.
Mrs: W. WEST .11 Xtathe Friburg is one of her best per-
formances. She describes, with fidelity, the bitter feel-
ings of the abandomid victim of seduction. Mies Foorc
as Amelia, interested, both by her ;appearance and her
manner ; she does' net play ahy cliaracter;—in our
opinion, well. well. Innocence 111 simplietf dis-
tinguishall her scenes. 'Her a•dwal of her girlish
love foe her tutor,-and. her insti uction of his aff red
ignorance, in the scene where the icquia es of him ihe
good to be derive() ft ern inatrimosty,pere very effectively
managed, and very warmly received.. The foppish
Count Cassel was admirably played by Mr. JONES: a
mere entertaining coxcomb cannot be imagined. In
the declamatory parts of Wildenheintand "inhale, Mr.
Coo as and Mr. WALLACIC appeared to advantage.
The latteri.sermonized with considerable effect. The
old rhyming butler, Verdun, was represented.with much
humour by Mr. HARIAL The ,mode in which he re-
cited the butler's doggerels was exceedingly emir. At
the conclusion of the play, when Mt. CeoPaa
. came
fotwara to announce the entertainments for this evening,
a cry for ", Mr. Kean," arose, chiefly from. the galleries.
It was persevered in until Mr. Kean made his appear-
ance, when he was hailed with shouts of approbation by
his noisy and misjudging friends.

COVENT-GARDEN.: ' •
The Opera f the Seraglio was repOted last nie t
to a very respect..ble boast.... The splendid scenery
by which It h di.iinguisbed ittricfed mecb applause.
Madame Vrterals Was as usual encored'in 'the guitar
song. •Many judicious- curtailments have been made,
and the piece in its present state promhei to hive a run.
The alterpiece was -elides the &road ; the character
of Mary Cupp was pliyed for the first time by Miss
Gowan!), and since the days of the original Mary
Copp, Miss M. Tasa, we have not seen the character
any thing like so effectually sustained. The 'nature
and simprcity th .t distinguished the Ferfiirmance
are entitled to the highest praise. It ',would bye vain
to say anything of CHARLES KEDIELR; he is. thee very
personification of the ideas history-his give!, tio.oi the
