Covent-Garden Theatre.
Mrs. Sloman repeated tbe part of BRalvi&ra at this house on Sa- turday night, and with an evident improvement upon the style of her first perfiormance. Her last scene was in a great measure free from the objection which we took to it on Wednesdav evening; and the scene in which she reproaches Jq,1icr for having sold himself w the con pimtors, was played with very considerable spirit and pas. slon. As on her firstappearance, she was most successful in her ex. pression of pathos; arid, in order that none of the effect of that power should be lost in a character like Belvidera, it becomes ne- cessarv always to abstain from using it, wherever an excuse can be found for doing so. Perhaps the firgt scene of the character might be played with a little more cheerfuiness than Mrs. Sloman throws into it: for there is abundance of weeping after- wards (under better circumstances), which neither can be, nor need to be abated. WVith a little rezolution not to let the applause her prbtesustion commands lead her into employing it too frequently, she will decidedly be the best Belvidera we have seen since the time of Miss O'Neil. The revived melo-drama of Thte Escapes followed, and considerable exertinn in the wayo f scenery and decaratios has been bestowed upon it. It was extremelypopular when fritproduced; and the music alone, when well executed, is worth going to hear. CO VENT-GAR DEN THEA TRE.
