written by Mr. Cob, was produced at 
Covent-Garden Theatre. They who 
fhould go to this piece with the expeétation 
of feeing fomething of the beautiful work 
of Sé. Pierre, bearing the fame title, would 
be wretchedly difappointed. With equal 
propriety it might have aflumed any other 
name; for it has no refemblance to the 
ftory of St. Pierre's delightful novel ; and 
is, moreover, a dull taftelefs produétion. 
The mufic is by Meflrs. Mazinghi and 
Neeve; and is not characterifed by any 
thing above mediocrity. 
A new Comedy, by Mr. Hoare, entitled 
Indifcretion, was produced at Drury-lane 
‘Theatre, onthe toth of this month. This 
piece confilts chtefly of fcenes of very broad 
- humour, not fufficiently excellent tocccupy 
fo large a {pace in a-legitimate comedy. 
But it has allo one or two f{cenes of a 
ferious nature, touched in a very delicate 
manner. It does not, on the whole, rank 
fo high as might be expected from the 
writer of the Prize and No Scug, no 
Lift of Difeafes. 2

Supper. A fong, im charaéter, was fung 
in the play by Mrs. Jordan; it is of a 
plaintive kind ; the words are peculiarly 
beautiful, and the mufic fuitable; it is 
almoft ufelefs to fay, it, produced a moft 
delightful effect on the audience. 
On the 12th of this month, a new Co- 
medy of three aéts, called Liberal Opinions, 
the preduction of Mr. Dibden, Jun. was 
brought out at Covent-Garden Theatre. 
From this piece, a very high degree of fuc- 
cefs inthe difficult art of dramatic writing, 
may be fairly promifed to the author; if he 
cultivates his talents with perfeverance, 
and looks at once, mto nature, and the 
works of the great mafters of the art. 
The whole play is diftinguifhed by viva- 
city of thought and expreffion. The firft 
a€t is incomparably the beft. It is gay in 
the dialogue, and rapid in the movement ; 
without the alloy of extravagance. The 
two lafiaéts degenerate. They are whim- 
fical and lively ; but the aétion falls inte 
confufion and abfurdity.

The principal difference that is to be 
obferved between the above lift, and that 
of the preceding month is,: that, in con 
f{equence of a change of feafon, it exhibits 
a much f{maller proportion of pulmonary 
difeafes. | ; 
‘The weather, it may in general be re- 
marked, has more influence upon complaints 
of the lungs, than any remedies which are 
applied. That credit is accordingly too 
often given to the advice of a phyfcian, 
which is in faét due to a favorable viciffi- 
tude in the atmofphere. This remark 
applies more efpecially to thofe catarrhal 
affections, which occurs at an advanced 
period of life.
