s in Mr. Cooper's Macbeth, that we think he ought there to plant
his standard. Imagination figures to us the magnificent exhibition he
might make of it, by studying from the best authorities and
descriptions, the various attitudes and action of Garrick in the scenes
alluded to, which are recorded not only in several books and portraits,
but in the memory of many men living.

HENRY IV.

Of Mr. Cooper's Hotspur we do not wish to speak in depreciation, nor are
we prepared greatly to praise it. To compensate, however, for this, to
our own wishes, we confess our inability to say too much of his
performance of Leon. And we feel pleasure in adding that in

ADELGITHA,

he reaped a whole harvest of laurels. His Michael Ducas, being not only
a masterly, but an original performance, one which we cannot reasonably
hope to see excelled, and which we may in vain, perhaps, expect to see
equalled.

We have a long arrear against us on account of the theatre. But we hope
to discharge it in regular order and in due time. Meantime we cannot
refrain from expressing by forestallment our great satisfaction at the
successful run and favourable reception of "The Foundling of the
Forest." If the manager and actors are indebted to the public for the
great encouragement and approbation bestowed upon that play, the public
are no less indebted to the manager for his zeal, unsparing expense, and
judicious arrangements in the casting of the parts, and to the actors,
particularly Mr. Wood, for their excellent performance of it. But upon
that subject we shall enlarge hereafter.

THEATRICAL INTELLIGENCE.

_Mr. Dwyer._

The American stage has received, in the person of Mr. Dwyer, one of the
greatest acquisitions that it has ever had to boast of. We have never
had the pleasure of seeing this gentleman's performance; but we have
collected from the periodical publications of Great Britain sufficient
to convince us that he is an actor of great merit, and, in his line, of
the first promise. No man treads so closely on the heels of the
inimitable Lewis as Mr. Dwyer. "Light dashing comedy," says a judicious
British critic, "is his forte, and in it he is almost faultless." In
Belcour, Charles Surface, and characters of that cast, he excels, and
his Liar is acknowledged to be the first on the British boards.

From a professional gentleman of this city of acknowledged taste and
erudition, who saw him in England, we have had a description of Mr.
