" Thf , Forest ; Kcoper , " n -two-act drama , produced ot uuurv 1 ,-anr Thbatre on Monday , is n feeble specimen of the author ' s power , though the story ho has , taken for Ilia foundation seems to have capabilities worthy of his greater industry , or tho collaboration of a more skilful dramatist . The hero , Christian Jicyuold ( Mr . Churlcs Dillon . ) hns , in Act J ., a iiiutow escape of being an interesting character . Ho is a find , honest French peasan * , doting on a handsome young wife , Louise ( Miss Page ) , and tlioir happiness ia aa '¦ p rettily convoyed aa their cottage homo is skilfully painted . But the devotion of poor Louise to the noble family who reared her induces her to shelter one of its members , tho proscribed ruyalisfc , Duchamp ( Mr . II . Mellon ) , This is discovered , and the unhappy husband , after wildly attempting tho life of hia supposed rival , courts death in tho rnnUft of the repubjienn army . In Act II . ( temp . 1815 ) he turns up a live but disbanded tropper . The waifs of Napoleon ' s beaten armies were at a sad discount , in pojiulai * esteem in the year 1813 ; and our-frlcild , happening to pai ^ s tlirongli n country town where tbo now uh , oots of Lpgitlmiiitn were prospering" exceedingly , gets into a " difllenlty " with the mob . Pelted and hunfcfl down ) ' ho is sheltered by a lnc < il official , who ia no other tlian tho prime mover in bis train of Borrow ? , tho ( f't-dovanC // roNcrii , ] M . JDuo / tamp . Tho audience are first , led to suppose that this gentleman has married famine JRoynoht , in full belief of her
¦ widowhood , but are afterwards informed , in clumsy fashion enough , "that the wedding ; has sbtnehownot been exactly consunitnated . The situation in -which the lady appears with her daughter before the pair of husbands is an extremely delicate one , and , unfortunately , just as awkwardly handled , ' Christiart- ^ a . mere trifle changed in / seventeen years—is recognised tnysterioufely by his child , unborn ; when . the separation ' . occurred , yet not by her mother . The author may be said , in . fact , to have got his ¦ play into a'knot ' so light , though simple , that , after dismally flounderingin quest of a denouement , he is obliged to take the good old remedy the knife , and that in jagged aird untidy manner . We must still admit that though , Mr . Roxby has next to no part at all , and one for Mr . Tilbury seems wedged" in against the fitness of things , the first act is pleasing , and Mr . Dillon is phasing too . Yet if "The Forest Keeper" is produced by the management under the impression that it offers a field for the display of the higher powers of Mr .. Dillon , we must add that they have paid him and his ability but a sorry complimiBiit . At Co vent GARDKN , BIr . Leslie ' s operetta has apparently not answered either our expectations or those of the managers . We liked ic ; but the public having proved of the contrary opinion , we can but bow with the composer , who should at all events be counselled to trv again . En attendant Mr . XVallace ' s great effort , " Lurline , " which we are to enjoy next week , the English Opera Company have given the " Crown Diamonds , " the " Eose of Castille / ' and " La Sonuanvbula . " In the latter Miss Parepa fullv sustains her reputation . She was called , recalled , and enthus i astically applauded , and we have every pleasure in chronicling her new success . Mr . Haigh ' s " Elvino" is at present suffering from a little nervousness ; but with such a voice and so many qualifications -Mi \ Haigh should be of better cheer . , Matters are looking up at the St . James ' s . Miss ^ V yhdham has taken her attractions and her capital into the concern , and appeared on Saturday last very becomingly dressed , and singing very nicely , as Anna in a mew burlesque on certain passages in the ^ Eaeid , entitled " Dido . ' Mr . Charles Young is reall > very clever . His make up arid " business ' as the forlorn Queen - materially aid the young author , who has at present a long-stern chase ere he may get abreast of Alessrs . Talfoiurd anci Byron , not to speak of Planchc . Dido run mad , not in purple nor white satin ,, but on Margate sands , Balmoial boots , wide-brimmed straw hat , and in fact in a complete sea-side toilette a la mode ,- 'inak ' es aa amusing figure per se , and M r . Young fills up tile picture co : rp ! efely . On Monday a neat little piecefiorn the French , by Mr . Palgrave Simpson , was very nicely played by Miss Wvndham . Miss Nelly Moore , Mr , Craven , and Mr . G . Spenoor . It is entitled " First Affections , " and proves , or endeavours to prove , that they are by no means so fond as siipposed ; but may even end in the most dismal of all ways—boredom . The piece is charmingly put on the stage , and is ah evident hit . -. At the now fasbionable Steand , Mr . Wooler , a practised dramatist , has produced an exceedingly ingenious and .-amusing piece , called " Sisterly Service . " Miss Sedgwick has appeared at the liaymnrket as Julia in the Hunchback / ' aided by Miss Swanboroiig-h as Helen , for the present only , we presume .. Good as niay be the troupe at the little Strand , it will never do for the fair lessee to leave it . A raxniber of well-known literary and-artistic amateurs propose to perform , at the Lyceum , on March 7 th , the School for Scandal , " and a new exti : ayaganzia , written , jointly , by four or five of the most eminent hands in that species of composition . The profits . ' of the entertainment arts toswell a fund now raising for the ' families of two < lecease < r literary men . The undertaking is by no lueans a light ono for our confreres , and we hope their efforts will be supported by solid sympathy from the public . . -
