Covent-Garden Theatre.
The lively comedy of Tle Isnconstaut was acted at this house on Saturday evesing. With a little pruning of the original dialogue, the characters and incider7ts are fair and free from objection, and we have not, as in The Bate's Stratagem all the author's wit and wilfularrangement of circumstance appliea tomake a very (lisrespect- able woman show very attractive and fit for imitation. A disposi- tion to shun such entertainments as have this tendency, however is decidedly a feature in the dramatic taste of the present dak'. Wycherley is quite laid aside-C-onareve appears but seldorm, and still more rarety atUracts money. The Inronstatt was well acted en Saturday night; Ml r. Charles Kemoble's comedy certainly g-ts more freedom than it h.sd. The d'fficult point in his acting used alwvays to be, that he couild not descend; but he got over that in his Charles the Sscond, where he made the sailor's disguise as good aS any thing we ever saw. A great deal of his Afirabel deserves equally to be commended. The early scenes were verv light and elegant- the serious part lie always played extremely well; and the busincss in the last act-the ring-the recovery of the watch-and the episode of the bravo's nose-was less svlemn, but as whimsical and viva- cious as our friend Biliston in iiis best day. Airs. Chatterley played Bizanrre: there seems to be no reason why liss Chester should not try what she can do with it. Jones, in Duretete. was smart and pleasant, as he always is. IHis points always readv and exact, and his " business" executed to the brea.dth of a hair. It is quite a relief, after such people as we have been poisoned with all the sum- nier at the Haymarket, to see an actor upon the stage who can look and mriove a little like a gentleman.
