Covent-Garden Theatre.
A young ilyyot tne name ot iNesbitt, who lias been Derforming witlh much echat at Bath, made her appearance last nihhtat Covent- garden Theatre, in the character of'Jaffet. Mliss Nesbitt'es person isvery handsome; her carriage spirited and graceful; she has a voice of as nauch richness and melodv as ever we recollect to have listened to; and even with these requiiites alone, aided by moderate sense and taste, it would not be very easy forany lady to make a failure. AMiss Nesbitt did more than avoid a failure, she was warmlly and often deservedly applauded throughout tke evening. Her garden scerc, though played evidently underalarm, was given- the greater part of it-wth inhfinie sweetness and delicacy. The scene that follows, too, in which she- coaxes the nurses told even against Alrs. Davenport's acting, which of itself is enough to kill all the Jsliet.s in Christendom. But tbougli equal success attended this young lady even in the scene in which she hears of Rometo's banishment, still she is not equal to Juliet at present, nor does it seem clear that her strength will ever lie in tragedy. The swallowing of the poisoii was a decided falling of from the tone which she had so far kept up throughtout the cha- racter. Shehad too muchjudgmentand tacttonakeitextravagant -indeed,-ne of the most promising circumstances in her perform- ance is, that she underacts situations rather than exaggerates them; but both that scRe ant the business that followed si the tomb, was spirtless and ineff.tcdve,-always elegant, and not devoid of feeling, but compietely destitute of passion and o,eneral' trazic power. MTe are hardly inclined to think that this absence of efficacy arose from fear, because, although muchi distressed at her entr&e, Aliss Nesbi:t had recovered hiersclf and acted the intcrmediate scenes extreinely well. She is very young, and very likely to improve; with great nalvsti6of iuanner, and some firmness of delivery; and with no bad habits, except. a little propensity to whine soinetimes in her declanmation, to get rid of. Her talent, however, at present seems to point towards comedy ra- therthan tragedy, and in characters of sentiment she can scarcely fail to prove a considerable acquisition to the theatre.
