from the clergymen dotted here and there . " Ah ! there ' s Conway , too !" and so he was , with his earnest , truly pious face— " an atheist in the church of England ; and he says that there are scores more—he has told me their names . " There was the lady of a great lawyer , whose last child is wonderfully like young Federigo Axnbrogetti , quite his dark ivory complexion and black curls ; another—her husband eminent among statesmen—of course , with the insinuating physician at her elbow . " Ah ! there goes the Reverend Elkanah Smith , with liis wife on one arm , and his Egeria on the other ! There is Lucrezia Borgia too , the lovely authoress , who does her romances first , and then writes them . Let me see , " cried Giulia , unconscious of the confession , " there is not a single woman present—at least none that I know , whose virtue would bear discussion . Oh yes , —I beg her pardon , —there is Mrs . Buchanan ;—ah ! and there is Mrs . Williams , too . I dare say there is more virtue than I thought at first . " Do not suppose that I am telling you a fiction , or dealing only in verisimilitudes . I cannot vouch for names , nor for exact details , or I might write less freely ; but I am telling you plain facts , and nothing else . Yes , in the heart of moral England , Lok has " burst his tenfold chain ; " and if you go to any great gathering , except a Bible meeting , or a party at the house of Lord Voltaire , —and I will not answer for the last , —you shall meet with titled blacklegs , right honourable keepers of hareems , gentlemen and ladies with bars sinister over great escocheons , and more escocheons that ought to bear the bar , matrimonial confusions rendering it difficult to extricate the peerage from the Italian stage , or the French green-room ; atheists and pantheists in holy orders , Roman-catholics in Anglican benefices ; and young maidens who have descendants , or have not , as the case may be-But society , except in the frankness of facetiae , in irresponsible epigram and repartee , ignores all this—its social gendarmerie fires over the heads of its own disorders . And all goes smoothly while ignored . Let the notorious atheist talk orthodoxy , with a transparent smile , or the outlaw Bohemien talk " morals , " promotion is not checked . But let indiscretion forget itself into frankness , and all is wrong . The limping hyena is eaten up by its own comrades : Mrs . Windham actually fainted one day at hearing that her lover had hurt himself ; her husband was fool enough to avow his anger at her indiscreet frankness ; she was cut by " society , " and died a few weeks back of a broken heart . " It is melancholy for Tier daughters , " said Giulia , " it will be so difficult to get them into society ! " Meanwhile , the young lady who so strikingly resembles her stepfather that everybody remarks it , is an ornament to the highest circles . These , I say , are facts , and I have more to tell you ; although our conversation was cut short sti'angely . While we were talking , Edwardes and his wife came up ; and Edwardes , who had known Giulia , and admired Sidney ' s genius , introduced his wife . Mrs . Sidney bowed coldly , drew up , turned to me , shook hands with marked contrast in the cordiality to me , and walked off * . The " cut" was evident ; but why ? Never was there a more striking spectacle than that of a noble nature rising against injury . Yseult coloured , and the tears of hurt feeling rose to her eyes ; but she stood erect , her countenance assuming a marvellous expression of firmness and grave ingenuousness . Edwardes soon found a reason for going , and Stanhope and I went with him . " Lot us walk , " said Edwardes ; and our thoughts turned gladly from the lights and the perfume as we faced the wind and the stars .

JACK S II E P P A R D . "When < i man in ho far not a imisler of" his actions that ho deliberately goes to sec sucli ; m " Historical Drama" ( the name is not mine , but the author ' s ) as Jack Sheppard , \ m friends , naturally filled with compassion , inquire into the cause . . 1 went to see if ,. The cause was this . Jlcnri Latouche was accustomed to lay down the axiom , — " That man
is totally wanting in savoir vivre who , being tete-a-t ^ te with , a youn and pretty woman for one quarter of an hour , has not obtained either kiss or—a smack in the face . " I was alone with Louisa for more than quarter of an hour . I told her Latouche's axiom . " I perfectly aere * with him , " she said , with a slight implication of sarcasm , that drove ^ wild , for it proved me to be the grossier personnage Latouehe defined Louisa ' s aunt entered at that moment , and I , taking : a hurried leave of them , found myself in the Hay market Theatre . I was not master of my actions , or else the very playbill would have kept me out . Only the other day I printed for your amusement a specimen of provincia l play bills . This of the jKaymarlcet transcends it . I can ' afford space for t he entire bill , but read this : — REVIVAL of the REAL ADELPHI JACK SHEPPAED . The great celebrity of Mbs . KEELEY in her personation of Jack Sheppard and of Me . PAUL BEDFORD in the character of BluesTcin , has induced tha Management to revive this Popular Drama , and The Public is respectfully requested to Notice , That the Version at this Establishment ( which has never been Interdicted , and ¦ therefore not now re-licenseS ) is the ONLY ONE That was written by J . B . BUCKS . TOWE , Esq ., And Licensed by the Lord Chamberlain . This statement is rendered necessary by the numerous unlicensed imitations that have been acted under the same title , and in which scenes and situations have been presented to the Audience , that however harmless when followed by the context in reading the Novel , were deemed unfit for delineation on the Stage . In the present adaptation all objectionable passages are carefully expunged , and whilst every care is taken to illustrate the striking incidents of the Drama , the most scrupulous may rest assured that in " adorning a tale" the great end of Dramatic Representation— "to point a moral "—has not been forgotten . What do you think of that for a theatre holding the rank of the Saymarket ? And to think of the old cant about " pointing a moral" as the great end of Dramatic Representation , being revived at such a juncture ! The only moral is— " Him as prigs wot isn't hisn , Ven he ' s cotched will go to prisn . " [ I hope you appreciate the delicate art which prompted that quotation ; for quotation is an art , and a supreme one ; there was a " local colouring " to be preserved . Had I ventured upon a sentence from Epictetus or Tillotson , the moral would not have been clearer , and art would have been outraged . ] Jack is triumphant , beloved , feared , and ends with walking off to Tyburn . Morality is saved ! But what nonsense it is to talk of morality as the great end of the Drama . The great end is amusement . And I pledge you my word Jack Sheppard attains the one end as little as the other . The acting is wretched . Mrs . Keeley , who has no greater admirer than Vivian , made some of the points in her own inimitable way ; but , either because she has not recovered from her recent illness , or because the part is not suited to her , as a picture of the daring young housebreaker it was singularly spiritless . 1 was never one of those who could discover the slightest humour in Paul Bedford , and his Wueskin is , to me , one of the most melancholy exhibitions : a monument of dull vulgarity . His notion of making speeches humorous by always repeating the sentences twice or thrice , is not conducive to general hilarity ; nor could I taste the flavour of fun in his pronouncing " Iiory tories" " rowry towries , " and making " glories" glowries . And yet , perhaps I am absurd and hypercritical in making a remark on the subject : to those who think Jack Sheppard an endurable drama , Paul Bedford may be a humorous actor . Of the rest non raqioniam di lor , except to remark upon the strange effect produced by 0 . Smith ' s degradation—I mean in a theatrical sense . Imagine O . Smith the terrible , D . Smith the Vampire , Frankenstein , Flying Dutchman , Black Ralph , the compound of all that is Satanic and bluefiery in melodrame , in the part of a timid henpecked husband . Hercules spinning at the feet of Ornphale was a pretty and a loving repose , but Zamiel as Jerry Sneak shocks the theatrical sense . V VlVIAtf .
