happy termination of the whole affair, except in the
case of the two culprits who are handed over to their

The parts were well sustained by the respective perform-

Atare for Lie Heart Ache followed ; a Comedy written
IP &thy the operation of wealth personally acquired, in
*tweeds on hereditary rank anctrustic simplicity. It was
ilbstively cast throughout ; but the principal novelty was
the irst appearance, in London, of Mr. ifintso, from the
Theatre Royal Bath, a gentleman who, we predict, will be-
come a favourite with the town. He has a dee alight per-

Airs. Oases, as the affected fine lady, Miss Voris:, left
very little to desire in her delineation of the part. Mrs
CMATTORLIT maintained the character ofJeses flatland,
with all that interest which she is so capable of convey-
ing. except that once or twice we fancied we detected a
little ioa.tention. Miss Bores was the Clem Vortex of
the evening, and carried herself through the character
with becoming grace. Of Litron's Old Rapid, we hard-
ly need say it was most enthseiasticatly, and dectroedly
so, received. Mr. WILLIAMS was the Nabob, and we
fancied we saw anisnprovement on our farther acquaint
uncle. 'Mr. You/ togs gave us Sir Hebert Steak, with
considerable effect, bat we think him apt to 'make a sad-

'the entertainments concluded with the Farce of "Fa-

Liston; as before Mr. West took the part of the York-,
shire Cockne7, Diggory, but certainly did not infuse.
' that richness into it which it had is the hands of its for-
mer possessor. Mrs. C. Joan was a very good repre-
presentation of Diggory'a spouse, the Tipperary girl.We
" thought Mrs. tlarrick's last song pitched rather too high
for her voice. Liston and Terry kept the House in conti-
Dual laughter, and the piece was received, throughout,
with unditniuished favour.
