The French play Le Capitaine des Brigands, of which we

noticed a dreary version produced at the Princess's, has given rise to another version acted at the Lyceum. This, which is adapted to the history of Dick Turpin, and written with some smartness, is the livelier work of the two. We may say that the Princess's piece is wretched, while that at the Lyceum is simpl indifferent. The acting at the Lyceum is immeasurably superior.
