Thbatbbßotai."''Virginiue , * was repeated last night to an audience more appreciative than numerous. Aβ on the previous evening, Mr Creswick gave' a grand representation of the Botnan father, and in erery phase of the part displayed dramatic excellence of the rery highest order. Itumaay yeare »inoe»performance of equal, merit has been witnessed in Christchurcb, and it eaye very little for the taste of tho pnbKc that so rare and unaci customed a dramatic treat should receiTesuch I scant encouragement. The fine elocution of I C&e tragedian was again manifested in hie delivery of the eplendid speeches with which the; part abounds, and the applauee of those who were present was both spontaneous and enttmsiastic. Mr Tineent could scarcely be surjaaeed in the character of Icilins, the lore passages with Virfjfoia being given with tenderness and manly feeling. Shaiepeare'e sublime tregedyof "King Lear" willbeplayed this evening, with. Mr Oreswick in the character of Lear, and Miss Helen Aehton as Oordelia. The Australian critic*, with the ' remembrance of some very great exponentsof the part, have pronounced Lear to Dβ Mr Oraewick's masterpiece, and, judging from the force and pathos of bis Virginia* a grand performance may be looked for.
