LYCEUM THEATRE.

•
On Saturday another new Comedy was perform('
at this Theatre, wider the title of " l'rededice ; er,
Midern Sentieverst." We will not attempt to go
fully into the plot, as to give t correct idea of it in
all its betrings, would greatly exceed our limits.
The grand business of the Piece we will shortly
*etch.
Airs. Pile Edward has married without the moltent of her fa-
Iher (Mr. Rivers), and in conseqoence incurs the di.; pleasure of
Other relations, who are very bitter against her husband, be-,
cadge he is an Irish; a on. k Edward, reduced to r.verty,
comes to England to better his fortune, sad is introduced by
body .Ina &well to theTandly of his jether-b•-lare under a
feigned name. While in this situation, hr, as Mr. Mcluittq has
opportunities of rendering his wife's friend. the most essential
'services. Cratitude and admiration are thus called forth, and
all are loud in his praise; ignorant of the degree of relationship
.1w bears to them, ignorant that be is as Irishman. It is hard,/
necessary to sidd, the denviiertital produces a mod cordial recon-
ciliation.
We have no hesitation in saying, this Comedy will he VIA,
to keep the stage, when most of the productions of the pre-.eutk
day are lost in oblivion. At present, huweier, ,it Is consider-
ahly too long and grad as its success was on Untruths. wethiak
ittefeet will be improved if it •is judiciously mutinied. The
first act, which went or very heavily, we would partilitiorlY re-
commend
to the +pruning knife; and it would be well i. the third
net should be shortened. In several carts of the Play, a picture
of the former Mrs. Rivers is woken of by several of the c.mrac4
tens. If a e might venture the surmise. we should sly 'we coo. •
cei ye the passages alluded to most have a refereoce to some scent.

might it not be well to suppress, or nearly to suppress, that,
*hick we have mentioned altogether i What is said on the tab- •.
ject, after the first enquiry of Odd's, appears to us rather la.
jurious to the comedy than otherwise, as it leads as to
cherish an. expectation which in the end is • not wedged.
—While outhis subject, we Neuld also suggest the propriety of
taking something from the chracter of Mrs. rubbish, which is
brought unnecessarily forward without affording any tbtog of
amusement. This Comedy is understood tube the protection of
lin. Lars:sus., the sister of Mr. SIMMDAN, and we cannot but
oougndulate the pahlic on the occasion. Gadus h a word which
we have long beeu accustomed to Imo date a ith the name of
