aMR. EpwIN FoRREsr. the American
trsgedian,' made his first appearance this
season, st the Broadway Theatre, in New
York. on Monday evening, to a very
crowded house, as Richelien. After the
performance he was called before the
curtain, and modsstly attributing the
vast assemblage to something more than
q personal compliment to himself. said:
Il see in it a deep and abiding love Of
the drama, and that love is as creditable
to your heads as it is creditable to your
hearts; for the drama is as great a con-
seryator of the public morals as the pull
pit is, and in all times it has been sus-
tained by the wise and the virtuous. 1t
would be impossible for me to recount
all the advantages to the community
which well regulated stage affords; but,
as school for eloquence alone, it never
has never been equalled. The most dis
engmshed orators Of antiquity have ac-
know.edged their Indebtedness to the
stage. Demosthenes owed his improve
ment to Satigris, the tragediau, and Ci.
cero confessed bis obligation to Roscius,
his preceptor and his friend. And, to
come down to our time, ladies and gen.
tleInen, he whose eloquence eclipsed, on
one occasion at least, all the orators of
all the world, was the son of a tragedian,
and himself the manager of a theatre.
On the memorable occasion to which
refer, Lord Byron said OF the orator
When the loud cry Of trumpet HindosIan
Arose to Heaven in her appeal from man.
HIS was the tIundsr-his tn avenging rod,
The wrath-ihe dei,gated voice of God
Winch shook the nations throu ,h his lips-and
blaZed
Till vanquished senates Iembled as they praised.
Let US now hope. ladies and gentle
men, that the dawn of brighter day for
the drama has appeared. The drama,
which has withstood the prosecutions of
bIgots and superstition. The drama,
which has outlived the language and the
nation which gave it birth. The drama,
which has survived the decay of en-
pres and of religions. The drama con-
seerated as it now is by the divine genius
of Shakespeare shall descend to all pos
teri5y, and with its voice of ever living
truth awaken the slumtering ages.
