Unlike most of our modern dramas, which after &sap rointing- expectation the first time they are seen, create dr-gust the sertaid, this 01 era really imps oyes on iepre sennaion. is, however, rather due to the exertions of the performers than to the intiinsie men ins of the I iece. It cont.:ins st:me irte. citing situations, but it can never be proper to introduce succestful immorality on the Stage; and what can he more inpn,oral than to make the death of , an innocent wife not only he longed for, bot prove the sole mean , of rend.iring her adultercu; husband happy, with the vin inl oi . his ,educiinn, in honottribi'e matrimony. Such P. however, Cie chief incilent in this Opera ; and although the reconciliation of the erring dlughter with her sorrow ful and irritated but at la't forgiving father, opens a wide fuld for the display of the must transcendent histrionic eN celence, Net its beauty cannot redeem or ma!ie us forget tire mural defierency of the piece. The approbation thus withrAden from the anth,r, must descend undiv di.d on the acting of the two performers in th interesting scene, Mr. l'awcETT and Miss K E ty. It confirms the reputa tion of the one, and exalts that of the other, who had long been considered nue of the most promising per formers on the stage. Miss K 1 L L V's shriek of surprise and terror, when from the window she behold; her father ; her flight and agitation, her joy at seeing him again, checked by the remembrance of her guilt, and. overpowered by the sense of her unworthiness, and hertlespair of pardon ; her half staled and convulsive exclamations of—My Father! My ra ther! Hide me! hide me!—arc bursts of feeling so true to nature, that the whole house is electrified, every eve is fixed on the Stage, not unbedewed with tears, and even the chit-chat of fashionable parties is hushed. 'phis is however only an introduction to the mole esten•ive di , play of consummate feeling and ability in the inceting with her father, whco thinks he addresses a stranger, a vic tim that has fallen to the arts of t same seducer. In this highly affecting scene, FAWCETT surpasses his Job Thorn bcriw, and at the 'moment when re l ating the tale of his daughter's guilt he is about to utter his curse against her and she unveils herself and' sinks at his feet, her loud pleadings for pardon, her despair when he leaves her, and gash of joy brightening through the wildness of sorrow, at • , Iris return, joined with - hls - first burst of indignation, so, rug by degrees into pity, and melting at last into to form a picture which, a•: cv , :ry heart and e3e coufe: , snows art the triumphant I ival of nature.

A strange fatality seems to have attended the lanriir of Mr. TA t. BoT, now performing at the Haymarket Theatre. He was df.Thrived of a father, brother, and three uncles, by t h e mos t hoitible and violent deAhs, in the- four quarters of the globe. His uncle, Major .lOUN TALBOT, was smo theied by II DE r.
