A Mr. MavnEw has appeared this week at the Fitzroy,

as the hero of a coarse abridgment of Time G'amester. He looks and declaims very much like a preacher. His performance is studiedly artificial. He affects MACREADY'S manner ; but a harsh and discordant voice is not by many the only point of difference in his imitation. His dying scene is described as being a most elaborate exhibition of a stage version of the effects of taking too small a quantity of arsenic. It would be a fine opportunity for introducing the stomach-pump. We did not stay to see the end: indeed, the dancing-master's bow, with which Mr MATnEw opened his performance, would have sufficed to characterize the display ; as every successive scene proved.
