London, . . . January 25. . . The celebrated John James
Rousseau, who was present at the performance of Zara, and
Lethe, last Thursday, at the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane,
after the preformance, made our English Roscius the
following compliment: "Sir, you have made me cry at your
tragedy, and laugh at your comedy, though I scarce
understood a word of your language."
The performers of the Theatre Royal in Covent Garden have
set on foot a contribution, among themselves, for the
raising and establishing a fund for the relief and
maintenance of decayed actors, and their families.
