THZATRES.

Datotv-LAKE.--- Mr. MAYWOOD who has made so
favourable:in impression on the town, by his represen-
tation of Shybei, made his second venture last web+
in the arduous character of Zanga.—lt Would, f; c-
haps, have been wiser in him to have seletted a p4r,
more distinct from the repulsive class of his first per-
formance, And, at all events, one more rich in materials
of genuine effect ; but such as the revengeful Moor
is, he depicted him in a manner, which, if it did not
please us quite as well as his portraiture of Shy/era,
did not in the least lessen the perfect conviction with
which he has impressed us of his possessing capabi-
lities of the very highest dramatic order, and which
only want some little disciplining and refining to
redder him a first rate acquisition to the London
boands.• His conception of the character of Zeaga
was throughout just and striking ; his execution
generally powerful—in some parts so appelingly so,
as absolutely to palsy the power of applubation—a
tribute far surpassing in value the must rapturous
bursts of applause. His voice, which in richness,
variety, and compass, we may safely venture to of
is not excelled by that of any living competitor, broke
forth at times into the most entrancing and subduing
tones. In his description of the embraces of Carlos
and Lamed in the bower—his artful stimulation of
A/oases vengeance, concluding with, " The world
will call you very, very kind ;" and his last pathetic
speech, where, touched with pity and remorse, he
asks the " good ruffians" to let him "but look one
moment on the dead," he was particularly happy.
One failure we must notice, (for it was indeed a
great one), but occasioned evidently not from want
of judgment or talent, but from too strong an impres-
sion of the difficulty of the thing, and an over anxiety
to do it well. We allude to the triumphant ackno.e.
rnent of his guilt—" Know, then, 'twas---.1 I" in
which he gave his voice a pitch which was quite un-
called for, and fek with nut unconcealed emotions of
pain by the audience. On the whole, though we do
not regard his Zastya as comparable to his SAyloei,
it was certainly a most effective and interesting repre-
sentation.—Mrs. BARTLKY and Elsa sustained the
parts of Leonora and Alonzo with their usual ability ;
nor was Mr. WALLACK in Carle. without very just
clairacto the nattering approbation which he received.
-Cksirawr-Gaamtu.—Last night, after the success-
fultepetition of As Yon Life 11, a new Mel. Drama,
founded on an historical fact, was acted for the first
time,,,entitled, The Yowhfal Days of Feederiel rise Great.

'rho proceedings of the characters in the piece excite

that the spectator can without much difficulty forget
for a moment that be is in a theatre. This is in a

exhibitions we have ever beheld. Ho was Tsar

Minds Diancrr agreeably surprised us by appearing
before frdnrkl. 'they exerted themselves with their
'Mal amass in a castanet dance, which was called
for again, but which was not repeated. The dresses,
in the costume of the time of Frearki KilAtas,
pleased from their singularity, and some of the most
exquisite scenery ever beheld on a stage compleated
the treat. The representations of a palace—of at for-
tress and rock, and of the Austrian Ambassador's pa-
vilion, called forth load dernoastratiens of admiration,
as they were severally displayed. The music, from
Mr. Bishop's works, was judiciously varied and ap.
propriate, and the Piece altogether met with a most
bratty welcome,' and vibes announced for repetition,
but one solitary bite opposed the applauding voice of
the audience.

Mrs. DICIONS is now at Venice, where her talents
are held in high estimation.
A letter was receives in town yesterday from New-
castle.upon-Tyne, announcing the sudden death of
Mr. M.Cairn, the Manager of the Theatre, iti that
town. It is said be dropped down suddenly on the
stage, in a fit of apoplexy.

The account of the death of Mr. HOLMAN, whichl
appeared in the New York papers, is confirmed by
private letters. one of which says-44 Ism sorry to
inform you that we have just received intelligence
here from America of the death of Mr. Hot.µ4x, on

have happened only two days before his death.
