Mr. Boo'h We have seen Mr.. r Goth in Richurd
Sir Giles Overrearh and shylock. In them all VIC
thought he was good, but great. His fault has

Of those bursts of passion, FIR which he has hccn
distinguished and which exert enhancing and almost
painful Influence his audience from their intensity
He has heen ENTHUSIASTICALLY permitting the sun,

1t i'll be remembered that wrote d paragraph or
wo the morning Of Mr.. Booths first night, in which
frankly explained to him the necessity of abs,uinus
from those freahs Of fancy during his engagement
which elsewhere and with the credunus, gained him
the uama of nadmhn. We have as yet seen no symtom
of the manis, but we have Mr. Booth walk through
parts in which we did not think he had an equal lie
disappointed the largest audience drawn to The St.
Cha'es this season, by his personaon of Richard 8,
destitute of the vigor and warmth with which he gen.
orally mhues the character, consequently lie has had
comparatively, small audiences since.
We sly is time that Mr. Booth should have done
with This. Let him be "Rchard himself again." and
be it generally understood and he will have a full
house t" greet him. 1t cannot beat least lie will not
desire I" have it believed that lie has ra,d and is no
more himself The impression will go ahroad--and in

sure The above was written, We have seen Mr.
Booths Othcllo and we arc pleased 10 bear witness
that the fire is rn-i'luncd and that the STAR shines
with its fall lnstre. What have said has been in a
kindly but determined spirit. We shall always deal
out ever nded Justice, and it affords ns more ra flea
ton to praise thai, to censur". We have not time ow
to ndivi'nalize tho scenes in Which we thought him
transcendcnt They commenced in the 3rd act, and
continued with few intervals to the close.
Mr.. Booth repeats Richard Ill this evening ind we
do not fear to say, will he 'hmsell.' Those who
remember him when he imbued the par, of G lostcr with
spirit, will not foego the pleasure to be cnioyec
from The renres,n ,utjon this eyenirp
Legislature. The Se,utc was occupied yeserIny
with the Bill to increase the number of Judges of III,
