expression of natural feeling. Mr. Simpson however, does not want fire;
a few years observation of good models may entitle him to a respectable
standing on this side the Atlantic.

Mr. Robinson's country boys and old men are excellent. His attempts at
tragedy and genteel comedy, will we fear, never be successful.

Mr. Young pleases us in all he undertakes. His conception is just, and
his gesticulation worthy of example.

In Mr. Collins we see much of the _naivete_ of Suett and Blisset. He
bids fair to be an excellent low comedian of a certain cast.

Mrs. Twaits approaches very near excellency in several walks of the
drama. Her figure is too _petite_ to give effect to heroic characters;
but her voice is good, and her stage business _soigne_.

Mrs. Oldmixon, the only female singer among us! has lost none of her
powers.

Of Mrs. Mason we shall speak more fully hereafter. In gay, and
sprightly, and laughing comedy she is most at home. Her tragedy is too
whining.

Mrs. Young is the most attractive actress I have seen for many years.
There is something in her manner which charms the eye, whilst the ear is
at times offended. This is easily accounted for--she is very
handsome--her countenance is the picture of innocence; her deportment
modest and unaffected; but she wants study; and there is some little
defects in her speech, which, we fear it will be difficult to remove.

Mrs. Poe is a pleasing actress, with many striking defects. She should
never attempt to sing.

Mr. Tyler, Mr. and Mrs. Young, and Mr. Twaits leave us in July. We trust
the manager will take a little more pains to procure a good company. The
public are liberal; and his purse-strings should be open to pay as well
as to receive. If we had Mr. Warren here, or some one capable of
discerning merit and willing to reward it, the town would never fail to
support him. But, as it is, the only hope we have is a _new theatre_, a
subscription for which, it is reported, is now on foot. John Hogg, a
very good actor has been for twelve months unemployed here, whilst
ten-dollars-per-week men are engaged to stutter and stammer in parts as
far above their conception as their talents.

GLUM.

THE AFRICANS.

In that laudable zeal for the gratification of the public which has
uniformly distinguished the management of Mr. Warren, he resolved to get
up _The Africans_, and produ
