COVENZGASOgIf TIIE4TREL
Wednesday night was performed at this Theatre,
for the Hit time. a Tragedy, called Beltamira; or,
lb Fat i.of Tunis: It it from the pen of Mr.
aetbor of Tireapostotre. The *vests out
, of which the fable of this dreamt is ceeetrected, are
supposed. to have takeo pike. at the period when
'lbw city of Teets .was aseteeped, by, the Emperor
CHARVIS V., bet have sot in theetsebras, we believe,
any foondstiott is history. The following is a sketch
-of-the plot, witch Is extremely complicated :
Menialle (Mr. You're). a Venetian Noblemea, unjustly
hosisheli from his native eft', andhis wite and child. as be sup-
poses. destroyed, lies to Timis, lad abjures his retigioe. Dis-
covering that Charles V. is marching against the pirate city. he
arms his Christian fellowolaves ageism their tyrants, mid be.
eases himself their lender, binding himself by an oath, that ant
liberty—am the embraces of his wife and child, mold snake
him ahandoa the commie came. He sees a child dragged frank
its mother, attempts's', save it, bat is prevented. 'I he frantic
mother stow ait is °Oen:ire (Miss O'Netx), the wife
of Slonfrodi (Mr. Kommd).--the child was theirs. He at.
to Mee his wife from the pirate's grasp--they are about to
murder him, wises' soddenly Montalto, the Governor of Tunis,
appears, and saves hies. This personage. whose character is
drawn with great force and magnificence, had been Admiral df
Veins*. and at Tunis was Deputy of Bewails, in hio absence, on
the against the approaching Spaniards. Montalto be-
holds Rollansire,--heers her nacre—it was that of his supposed
Murdered child. He restates her to freedom. her lumbsiti,nad her
cWld. Ara oral (MAreirsoir ), another renegade, now &Titres from
the camp of Herodias, With an order to murder: the Chief of the
Christian slaves. and succeed Monte/lo as Governor of Tunis.—
..farmed: would spare blasot the instigation of Montalto, bat that
be finds in biro
,Mitifeedi, his mort..l foe. Montalto provides a
ship to carry away tifteafrsdf. and his swite-Marafredi resolves
to keep Ms with, and lislldmira will .tot leave her husband.—

leagued witth hand iti—had, in consequence, been degraded from

Mostialto sills him, and hlenfrodi and Bellamire are restored to

• The dOfects of ..hid Tragedy are the utter want of
probability in. theincidents, acid the imperfect man-
ner in which 'they are conducted"... Throeglsout the
whale a loon of outrageous passliiii prevails, which
learns intended to carry the heaos..of the audience by
storm. But there is a brighter side to the picture,
that may be duvet, attend cOntesuplated with pleasure.
—The lausosge for the greater part is judicious and
oceselosisfly eloquent the characters are well sus-
tained and that of daourat in particular is marked.
by some touches of scorn and hatred which display
the hand of a master. liellamira is also a powerful
delineation, foil of .heroic lose and passion, in all
their forms of the filial, conjugal, and maternal re.
lotions. Miss O'NEILL, in a long scene in the harass
of Amurat, where she is at once distracted with fears
for herself, for her husband, and for her child, et.
hibited powers of the first order. MACREADY quite
surpassed himself : in the tool, remorseless villain,
regarding his victim with the smile of a demon, we
could never have believed him so effective. Both
Yonna• and C. Kastams performed their characters
with great skill. The Epilogue was delivered by
Miss BaosProm very gracefully. The testimonies of
approbation, at the close of the Tragedy, were toed
en4l vehement, and quite unmixed, as far as we could
discern, with sounds of a less agreeable nature.

Yesterday a Coen of Directors was held at the
East loth:House, when the following Commanders

DUEL PREVENTED. —A meeting was to have take%
place yesterday, in consequence of a dispute at plffy,
between Captain It --,r—s and Mr. B----E-144 Gen-
tleman of fortune; but it wig prevented by the inter•
Terence of the Police. The parties, however, e•etped:
Itteday evening as Mr. Withers, of Siturrditch,
waif, returning from Croydon. through Streatham, at
man having the appearance e* a Gentleman, reclean
to him,, and oflered to accompany him. The 'offer
was accepted, and they proceeded trgether ea fir al,
Briton-common, when the stranger, pulling out a
pistol, robbed Mr. W. of his watch aid 141.

Monday night as Mc. Dawson, a farmer, resiJing
near Barrio, was on his retort' from town. he was
attacked by three men, dressed in smock frocks,
within a mile of Barnet. One of the robbers laid
hold of his horse's reins, and with dreadful improca.
tions demanded his monet. Mr. D. knocked him
down with his whip, when another of the ruffians
snapped a pistol at bins, which flashed in the pan•—
He then spurred his horse, bet had not proceeded
many yards, before another sprung forward and
knocked him off hia horse. The others at the none
time coining up, beat him in a most cruel manner, mud
robbed bier of 301. in Bank-notes.

The markaret season has commenced at Brighton;
