Lord Byron in his Nineteenth Year; from Sanders. Engraved by William Finden. THIS beautiful performance is intended for the frontispiece to Moore's second vol. of the Life of Byron; but having a proof before us, we take the opportunity of noticing it as by far the most poetical and interesting likeness of Byron, and one of the finest works of art ever prefixed to any volume. It represents his lordship, full length, in a sailor's dress, with a youthful companion, launching a boat. The composition is simple; the look of the principal figure is delightful; and we think the admirers of genius will hail this production as its congenial representation.

On Monday evening their majesties honoured this theatre with their presence. The performances were the Provoked Husband, and Teddy the Tiler. The national anthem and "Rule Britannia" were exceedingly well sung, and rapturously encored; but we missed the complimentary verse to the queen, which was so particularly distinguished at Drury Lane. Miss Fanny Kemble played Lady Townley for Tiflis.

Excepting moral and other considerations, the performance has added another effective part to the list of the gentle lady, and the play is altogether one of the best acted at this theatre.

Mr. Gill, with an honest warmth of feeling, asserts the claim of the young and unknown artist; and declares that Mr. Rolls only "took the liberty to darken the plate, which had not at all improved it."It is our public duty to insert such authenticated appeals.
