PARE-Lovsll's play Of" Loves Sacrifice was repeat
ed last evening with Mrs Mowatt Margaret and Mr.
vandenhon Elmore The plot ofthis play very ably
sustained and the language highly poecal and chsste
But think The dialogue might be cut down with a
great deal Of advantage II 10 long that unless sup
ported by the very highest talent is apt to become
wearisome This 10 the only material defect in the play
which is really noble production The part Of Marga.
ret we'll adapted to Mrs Mowats style and now
ers and her acting of the character Is graceful spirited

she can ahorio admit Of even hypsrcritcsm First then
in the second scene ofhe 3rd act when after throwing he
arms around Emores neck she starts up and exclams
enderness sort fxedness Of purpose was toe
sudden and unnatural The change was ous
ought to have been gradual Again in the LIST Of the
" Thou knave" &c, this was delivered in a very high
key whereas the previous sentence having been ended
risen gradually with the swell of the sentence These
triding errors and light redundancy Of gescuation
were the only blemishes noticed last evening But,
Of the character with the highest praise Mr. Vanden-
hons fillmore Is beyond question the best part we have
was grand, mastery and such candidly con-
TESS we did not think him capable Of HIS face and ago
nized manner in the I'd OF the Sd act of
the most effective things We have ever seen. He was
completely master Of the part and we cannot conceive
speak of Mr. Dyos Lafont Of Fishers Ruse and Of
Barrcs St. Loo They all three highly mcrtorious
and received the marked applause Of the
Mrs Mowatt, as Pauline, and Mr. Vandenhof Claude
Melnotte.
