An odd kind of farce, extravagantly improbable, but not without
hu- mour, has been produced at the Lyceum, under the title of Those dear Blacks. A Negro, landed on British shore, buys for a servant a white adventurer, who manages his position so well that he makes his master wait on him, instead of waiting on his master. The piece is very flimsy ; but Mr. Charles Mathews by the display of an old talent, and Mr. Suter by the revelation of a new one, amuse the audience, as they appear before them in white and black.
