Since the evening which gave the immortal
Powei! introduction to the town, no theatrical adj
oeEtHrer has appeared, with pretensions to merit
equal to those which marked the entres of the
Romso of this night This gentleman's name is
Holman, he is of respectable family and polite
education-he is OF middling stature, his figure
IS genteel, his countenance is animated and ex-
presslve, his features are rather sharp, his eve
extremely quick and lively; and his voice pos
sesses richness of tones, but yet requires some
regulation to retain fitness while he is speak.
ing, yet whenever he makes transitions, il an
pears in perfect tune, and agreeable TO nature.
In regard to his department. it admits of improve
ment. He did not preserve himself so erect as
he might have done, and thereby diminished
from the dignity he might otherwise have pre-
served. He played every scene with spirit and
nature; but his interview with Friar Lawrence in
the third act, and the tomb scene, were dstin-
gushed by peculiar beauty. Those situations
possess most passion; and whenever that is the
case he must eXcell Mr.. Holman was introdu-
ced by an address Of considerable merit, written
by Mr. Ba"vjs, gentleman of one of the unver.
sites Mr. Holman was educated 1T the unver-
sites of Oxford"

The surface Of that part usually denominated she

8 inches. That II IS a Tooth belonging To some
species OF animal, that once existed IN this coun-
try, is certain out at what time, his shape, size,
and peculiarIte5, it lis impossible to form any
plausible conjecture. The aborigines who for
meiiy inhabited this country, have given no ac-

nor IS there any correct tradition concerning Il.
