play. The tragic powers of this lady exceed
any thing we have ever witnessed, or could
even conceive. She keeps the feelings of the
audience, in torture for her distress during tho

talents of this lady should be SO grossly neg
lected by the Bostonians, of all people in the
world. Mr.. Duff made a tolerable 'Biyon,'

excellent Luke sustaining the character Of
a ruthless and revengcful ruffian to perfection.
We have seen this gentleman'c comic performs
