SEPT. el- and Mr. YOUNG came forward as Belvidere and Pit The former was greatly inferior both to Mts. SIDDONS and Miss SMiYu. Her manner was too theatrical, and though the exertion of her powers frequently Oned applause, she seldom found her way to the heart. Mr. YOUPG gave a most masterly delimeation of Pierre. In energy it was greatly superior to KEMBLE:I pc, formance of the same part, and hardly second to it in dignity. Nothing could be more impressive than his deportment in the scene where hi strikes Jailer, and in the last it was impossible. for itiso ionic excellence to make Pierre mote prominent. The part of Jafier yeas admirably sustained by Mr. C. KENIBLE. The conflict* emotions arising from the union, of love, re sentment, and despair, hr depicted in the most forcible man ner, and to the ravings of remorse, distraction, and horror, which rend the bosom of Jollier, he gave the greatest effect, without much overstepping the modesty of nature. The play, altogether, was weal performed, but we wonder the managers do not make the senate more respectable in ap pearance. The scene itself is superb, but the few senators that appear, half of which are hid by the soldiers, when the prisoners are brought- in, look more like a set of drowsy watchmen,-just returned from their rounds, than a delibeta tire body assembled in council. • IIAYMATI Er THEATRE Last night Mr. TA I UOT, ho, we understand. is engaged for the temainder of the Season, again 'appeared un these boards in wag Wilding, in The Lyar. It is well known to our Readers, that oar opi nion tat that Gentleman's talents in Isis former efforts was hot a favour able one, and h s pet formance last night did not in a great degree re mow our first impression. although he obtained considerable applause ;. and who could personi'y the z'ood tempered, genteel, airy, and elegant Yourig Il ilifink for so has the author drawn hint,millsout it ? He, however, by no means succeeded in giving any thing like a finished outline of the char'cter. Fws and BF .T rf.n to N Papillose and Sir James. Elliot, did not succepl much better ; and di:siss. DALTON and Mr. Elan were.as ineffcciive in Miss Grantham and Old Inkling. NEW DRURY THEATRE• The interior of the new building is nearly completed. The statues which we mentioned in our last as intended to ap pear on each side the stage, now occupy their respective niches. The gilt work which is to surmount the - 4 . !ais on each side the stage was nearly completed yesterday, and its effect, when the Theatre is completely lighted up, must be superb. It is intended to open the House not with " Thc School . fur Scandal," as has been repotted, but with " Ham let( the character of Mmtet will be sustained by Mr. En.- LISTON. The second play is to he " The Ducana." The boxes are exceedingly well arranged and splendidly decorated. We think the pit very good, but not equal to that at the other house. 'the galleries are fitted up with a laudable attention to the comfort and accommodation of those in the lower walks of life who may be expected to visit them. A lobby and other conv=eniences are attached to each. Both command a good view of the stage. The appearance of the stage is alike distinguished by its novelty and its grandeur. When its decorations are com pleted, the coup will be most striking and magnificent. We never saw a stage so well calculated to give effect to spectacle. This, it is to be feared, will lead to the; introd.lc tion of performances more likely to dazzle the eye than to clear the understanding. It is the opinion of some, that its excessive splendour will spoil the effect of many scenes, and destroy the illusion which ought to be kept up. This ob servation, though nut to be despised, does not give us much alarm. it may be that the decorations of the r.tage will hut ill accord the picture which tt labourer.'" hut should pre- THE NATIONAL REGISTER. 605 sent, or with the furniture of the Red Cow ; but for such things must always be made= a , . a Thea!re, and th'e contrast the ornaments of the Drury-lane stage may. oiler to , such scenes is not more to be comp:ained of, than the aprpear ance of the ship. doors at other Theatres In a forest or a dun- "CGII n .

On each side of the pit there arc seven pi ivaie boxes. The st c(,tia tier of boxes appears Ye; y conspicuous, from the lower part of their front . projecting out more than the others. This at presetit has rather a heavy etieet. In the who'e Theatre we saw nothing so truly beautiful as the con idor to the grand saloon. A dome, tastefully adorn ed midi sttreeo work, is supported by eight magoificent pil lars made to imitate sciola marble. Two superb staircases. conduct the visitors to it, which, though essentially useful; are not more usefid than ornamental. We should but lose time in attempting to describe it, as even in its present unfi nis.hed state it surp sscs description. The saloon itself is entitled to praise. It is more spacious than that of Covent-garden Theatre, and, when completed, will be found. equally elegant and commodious. Altoge'her , the interior of the Theatre furnishes a highly gratifying spec tacle. We hope care will be taken to have it well vf 11:jilted. At present we arc not thoroughly satisficd that stalicie;it at tention has been paid to this.. In every other res;;ect neilier 1 pains nor expellee appear to have been spared, and the 'I tica tre seems likely to possess (inside at least) all th.a taste count ' dictate or prudence suggest.
