conraiUNICATED.
On Monday evening next, the Castle
Spectre with the farce Of the Weathcrcock
VIII be performed at the Theatre; for be-
nevolent purpose, by several young gentle
men OF the town. They are aware, that in
the minds OF many, there is a strong aver
sion to every thing connected with theat-
rlcal entertainment; and if that aversion
was confined to the dissipation in the the
atres of our principal cities, and which too
often degrades those attach profession
ally to the stage, it would not be undeserv-
ed. But there is nothing surely in tho
mere representation of moral play, 10
which the liberal minded will object. We
sometimes hear with pleasure and advan-
tage, even from the pulpit, the sentiments
OF some distinguished .drsmatlst The in
structors Of academies and schools, en-
courage dramatic exhibitions, as conducive
alike to rhetorical advantage and intellec.
tual Improvement. fit is urged by any
that there is danger, that some of us will
thus acquire passion for the stage, be in.
duced to prefer it TO other pursuits. and f.
nally to adopt 1t as profession, we answer
that we are all engaged in labor more in
accordance With our inclination and abili-
ties. II any who are inca pable of duly ap-
preciatng rhetorical efforts. consider the
present attempt as humiiating, 10 this we
say, that no talent has been given TO US
which we ought to be ashamed to display.

minded and ignorant, we fee Indifference
not tar removed from contempt.
