"the Duke it Is who has been commissioned by
Her Majesty to form Cabinet I" The idea that Sir
ebert Peel could not resume Office and construct u
Government "less the Duke" and the possibility
that the Duke himself would be the new Premier,
and possibly also Foreign Secretary, damped the

| MISS CUsHMAN made her appearance at tac Hay
market Theatre last night with her sister, Miss
Susan Cushman, who had not previously rcted IN
this country. They played in the characters OF
Romeo and Juli-t not IN the ordinary acting tragedy
the tragedy written by Shakespeare. Our readers
need not be informed that the chief difference be-
tween Shakspeare's play and Garrick's adaptation,
Is that in the former work. Romeo is represented as
IN the last scene he dies before Juliet awakes from
her trance, instead OF expiring at the end OF long
dialogue.
1t is enough to say that the Romeo of Miss CusIl-
man IS far superior to any Romeo that has been
seen tor years. The distinction is not one of de-
gree, 1t is one Of kind. For long time Romeo has
been convention. Miss Cushman's Romeo is a
creative, living, breathing, animated, ardent, hu
man being. The memory Of play-goers will call up
Romeo as a collection OF speeches delivered with
more or less eloqnence, not as an individual. Miss
Cushman has given the vivfying spark, whereby the
fragments are knit together, and become an or
ganized entirety She initiates as into the tempera-
ment Of her hero, and in this respect the restoration
OF the illusions to Rosallne Is particularly valuable
She disclosed that ardent passionate disposition, that
waited but for the opportunity to break forth with
irresistible violence that the first scenes contain
pared the way tor those passionate breathings cf
love that rendered the interviews with juliet SO re-
markable. The short gallant speeches at the ball
were delivered with the eagerest spirit OF earnest
