THEATRICALS,

774 e lime:ant was revived last night at night at Covent

Garden, in a very effective representation. We never saw
Mr. fiestaLs to snore advantage ; and the effect which his
performance of Young Mirabel produced upon the house
was eel ial to the power ever obtained by an actor over the
feelings of an audience. The last scenes with the Coate-
, zap Lamarce, and the Bravoes, was truly excellent. The
exultation in his success of being permitted to see the lady
borne—the adautation of his conduct to suit the company
of the bravoes—tbe mask without. and the fearful agita-
tion withiu, were exquisitely coloured. We trust the play
will be repeated. With • slight alteration in the cast, it
would be a disgrace to the Metropolis, if it were played
toanv but full houses. The Character of Dareteie is not
in the usual way of business with JON'S bat he plays it
with a judgment that ensures success. Still be is not au
adequate representative; and if a better could be found,
it would be desirable. It is a curious composition, and
might perhaps be hit off by some hard-headed gentleman
who has been found unfit for other business. The Old
iiimbel of Mr. W. FARRCN is played delightfully. We
never saw an old man more pleasantly represented.—Miss
Fools Will highly interesting in (crieusa.—Mrs. CHAT.
TIBRIAT is not equal to the cbaractor of Bizarre. Her style
Is far too boisterous. We were really afraid that she was
going to smite Buret tie swallow this Thole botsle of wine.
and to kick him bins in reality. Mrs. VINING was re—
epectahle in the part of Lama tee ; and the bravoes were
6 exquisite rogues' indeed.
After the play, a non-descript performa•ce foll owed, which
seemed an attempt to combine the ballet with spectacle.—
Mr.
VENAIRA, from Lisbon, was the contriver of the
business, whirls was principally to introduce himself as 4
jumper, and twirler of more than ordinary ability ; as a fencer
with the susailtsword ; and a combatant with the symetar;
besides displaying a world of pantomimic action, in depict-
ing the extremity of grief, of joy. " and military dignity."
—The audience were very much disposed to laugh at the
novelty of the scene; and this disposition was heightened,
by the singular gait of M. VP.NA7NA, on retiring up the
stage after a display of his really astnaishing powers, as a
vaulter, and twirler in the air. Good manners,
however, reptesse4l this inclivation, until a droll
thing of a ghost, " armed eap-a-pee" presented itself ;
when sysoptossa.s of risibility, and disapprobation were
Veard carious quariers of the house. We are afraid Mr.
Venafra will cerer be very popular. He has great powers ;
bat they are of an ord. r not likely to be duly appreciated
, at CPVVIII thiplen. We are too phlegmatic to enter into
the, warmth of his 4a eptosuisni gesticulation. Fortsee's
urcee,l,ll; and itayssß was as effective as before.

On Tuesday Baronial Carthetv' Esq. was elected
Mayor of the Borough of Liikeard, for the enningyear.—
On this occasion, the Bottle Recorder, Earl St. German's,
was present, and a great lumber of the inliabitantsattended,
in order to,witoess thereault of an application from Mr. J.
(loud Anstis, to be admitted a free Burgess of the Borongh,
era the ground of his bring the eldest son of a free Burgess,
• sad being himself as inhabitant lionscholirr ; which de-
.seriptioo of persons are particularly pointed out in the
Charter of Elizabeth, on which the Corporation rests as
the foundation of their privileges, as those by whom the
Mayor shall be elected. Mr. Anstis inside his application in
• doe form, hut be was told his claim was inadmissible ; and
one of the capital Burgesses declared that he was a disturber
el the Court. Mr. Ausmis appealed to the Mayor and the
Recorder to say, whether by setting forth, in a peaceable
and respectful manner, a claim which lie believed to be well
kineded, lie was acting with disrespect to the Court, or
creating a disturbance, when the Noble R.arl replirdo "cer-
. tainly not."—Mr.Anatis then presented a protest against
the election takng place
.by mot-residents, coming from
different parts of the kingdom, in order to elect a Mayor
for the inisabitina of Liskedr.l. Timis protest was received
in sileneeby the Mayor and the Corporation, though there
is every reason to .aelieve.that the niew hers who are resident
in the Borough mold rejoice at the success of env attempt
to fire them from time oppression of nonresidence, who now
acteally form a majority of the Corporation, and thus ren-
der the Patron iudeper&nt of the residents, whose applica-
tions on behalf of their ;Timbres and friends are said to be
received in a manner ml iferent from what they once were
Anstis told the Bench that he was prepared to
Otis claims in another Comet, and widulrew surrounded by a
tigat number of the inhabaaots, who were !mighty gratified
!he mealy and temperate manner is which he asserted his
M aio; on the success of which will depend many others.—
The ancient records of time borough ehriv that up to the
time of James 2nd, the inhabitants of time Boron') were
admitted to the privileges of Free Burgesses, on making a
_public demand to that effect. After the granting of the
• .Charter of James, and % rep one now pretends to consi-
. der as valid, the Members of thq Corporation made a bye
:,Intr, sanctioned by a bond, by which if the Mayor for the
lkintibeing admitted any person as a free Burgess, on any
whatever, without the consent of a majority of the
body, he shall forfeit one hundred pounds for
Zisymisini so admitted. This engagement entered into
purpose of defeating the just claims of the inhabit.
• . 'Mk will, it ie believed, bebronght tinder the consideration
oft toperior Court, and its legality decided on.—lt is
' believed 'that Mr. Anstis is in possession of documents
. Which Will folly establish the validity of his claims to the
privileges of 1 Free Barges, of Liaireard.—(Wert Briton.)
