OF Miss Cushman, that we would prefer her Queen
Catbarne sufficiently terrible for all practicable
thusiasm, however to which ere compelled to

are Informed, by literary gentleman of New York,
produced at this house last evening The plot is
trifpg, and the language of q commopplac dialogue
description. Michael (AIr. Lynne) landlord Of an inn,
is impelled by curiosity to enter the chamber Of
guest orlest (Nlr. Clarke in order to find out the
secrets Of letter he has just received from France;
Mary Nrs. Russell) daughter of the innkeeper goes
there by designation with Orlest her former lover and
Wetwell (Nir Johnston) her husband, with whom she
Is unhappy In consequence Of lis abandoned habits Is
nstgatea by the base purpose of robbery which he
effects. In that position he Is unwilling witness to
his vifes dupcity, but his silence sealed 10y the
turpitude Of bis own act Mary and her father are
both accused of the theft but the enoutent Is arrived
at by the confession and forgiveness OF the crime
The piece might well be compressed into one act
without suffering ucb by punishment. The respective
parts Of the four upon whom the burden Of
