THE Reverend JOHN NEwLAND MAE.

THE reverend JOHN NEwLAND MAE.
the theological concer nments Of this section of
the country has recently issued from the press
a volume Of his writings. We have read the
book with some interest, and although we
must say, that it is pregnant with faults and
bemishes, we cannot refrain from adding that
it possesses many beauties, and numerous fine
flashes of untutored genius At the commence
mont of the book, tho Reverend Gentleman,
has an address, commonly called preface, in
which he deprocates criticism so sincerely that
we cannot prevail upon ourselves to tako that
notice Of his productions, which wo had origi-
nally intended.

THEATRE. Our Theatre closes with this
nights performances; and, as the bill presents
an unusual degree of novelty, we hope and
trust that numerous audience will be in at
tendance. The proceeds Of the house will be
appropriated, for the BENEFIT Of Messrs
DUFFY and PLACIDE, two gentlemen who
have rendered conspicuous services, since the
Theatre has been opened, and have been de-
cidedly popular, with tho admirers of the
Drama To add 10 the general interests of the
nights entertainments, a gentleman, citizen
| of this town, well known for the variety of his
genius, and comic powers, has volunteered to
perform the character Of Mawworm. in Bick-
crstaff's celebrated comedy Of tho Hypocritc.
From what we know OF the talents of the gen.
| tleman, wo are inclined to an opinion, that he
will sustain the part, with credit to himse +
and to the amusement of the audience. As he
does not profess to be an actor, and only ap-
pears to aid his friends, for whose benefit the
nights entertainments are got up, il is hoped
that every allowance will be made for any de-
iiclences that may appear palpabe to the au-
dience. We make this remark, in antcipa-
tion, though without entertaining any fears for
the result Of the labors of the amateur. We
have every confidence in his entire ability to
go through-and successfully too--wuh the
arduous and interesting part, which he has
selected. AS rumor has gone abroad, that
the gentleman, who appears in tho character
of Mawworm, will give limitations of several
popular clergymen, os we'll as Of exhoring
laymen, we deem it proper to say, that nothing
of the kind will be attempted, and that the
manager, would not allow such q license II
is but justice to add, that the gentleman who
makes his debut, never contemplated any
thing Of the kind, and that the report has been
gratutously circulated.
On Monday and Tuesday evenings, Mr.
HOLLAND, the celebrated comedian and VEN
triloquist, appeared on our stage; and, by his
efforts kept the house in u roar. He is GER
tainly gentleman Of unusual powers, and is
entitled to all the patronage he has received; !;
and we cannot but regret, that his engage
ments, would not suffer him to continue with
us for longer period.

be drawn-it was done so, and the friends OF

, Mas DUrV LoSpoN. Mrs. D0f made
her first appearance On the boards Of Drury
! Lane Theatre, Oh the Sd OF March last, in the
| character Of Isabella. The London Herald
in speaking OF her performances remarks:
" She is of the middle size, rather Of gen
! ;ccl appearance, and conducted herself from
the beginning to the end of the play without
any prc'ension to great acting. Indeed her
modesty is such that one was only aston
| ished tlrat an actress of her requirements
| should have ventured on part which requires
! hrsi-rac powers, and, which had been 50 ad-
, mrably filed by Mrs Sddons, and lat,crly by
Miss O'Neil. With the exception Of the last
scene in the fourth act. when she is about to
explain TO her husband the cause of her dis
ticss, and at tho horror Of the idea rushed out
OF the room IN The utmost despair, there IS hard
ly any part that requires particular notice
This scene, she pcri"fmcd with much feeling
and proprie'y, and sac received proportionate
applause. Her voice, however, is not good,
har accent any thing but agreeable, and We
are afraid that il she wishes to succeed on the
London stage, she must givo up the idea Of
performing such u part as that of Isabella, and
descend to characters that require mofe moder-
ATE powers.
In addition 10 the above, (says the Boston
Ga2ctte,) We have seen an article in the Lon
don Courier, in which Irs. IS performance
OF Isabella is spoken Of in the most (arordbie
terms. Her personal appearance, voice and
manner are highly commended; and in con
cluson, the writer includes her among the best
tragic actresses (always excepting Mrs. SD
dons) ,cho hare for many year, appeared IN
london.
