Although the Christmas holidays are so close at hand, Mr. Webster has given some importance to the week now terminating by a revival of Mr. J. Oxenford's almost literal translation of the Tartuft of Moliere ; and, strange to say, the Adelphi audience, trained as they are by a course of melodrama in which every sort of unity is set at nought, are charmed with a play that in its simple severity almost transcends the antique models. The highly-finished representation of Tartuffe by Mr. Webster, with whom it is a pet character, and the life and pungeney of Mrs. Keeley, wh6 for the first time takes the part of Dorine, contribute not a little to this felicitous result.
