Mrs. Merry in Elvira, fully displayed those abilities of which she is so completely miftrels. In the scene where she enters, ex pefting to find Piaarro (lain by the hand of Holla, and he is presented to her afloniflied eyes, alive ! dildaining to (hrink frotn the fate which awaits her, in what language does flie reproach tbe tyrant tor seducing her from the abode of innocence and peace. They must be devoid of le-rrfihilrty, who could lis ten to her tale, unmoved. • Miss E IVfstraj's performance of Cora, gave general fatisfaflion ; feut some of the fcenej require greater energy of voice, thitn this lady is pa fie fled of, particularly where /he demands hei husband, after the return from battle. Great n»oft liis power? bf who would at tempt to vie with Mr. Co'per in the charac ter of «« Rolla." In such chr.radters hit un demanding rs ft> coriefl, he " suits the ac tion to the word ; and the word to the ac tion." We were sorry to fee Mr. Tt'arren lo de ficient in fecnes whrreall his abilities /hould have been called into adVion, particularly where Elvira reproaches him as ;he feducet of her innocence. He (lands and liftcns as he would do to a qommon conversation, quite unmoved. His next performance bf Pizairo, we hope will be far superior. What could induce Mr. Wignell to give the part of Ataliba to Mr. Wood ; not to be better performed we are certain. Such as bim " who for the inoft pari aie capable of nothing hut inexplicable dumb ftn>w, and roife,*" should never have c.'iarad>ers like Ataliba committed to their care. We (h-ill be happy to fee Mr. Wignell rcfume it, the next time Pizarro is performed. As to Mr. Coin's Alonzc, let him " re lerm it altogether." , WASHINGTON.
