Address by $Edward Hickey Seymour= (<i>London Chronicle</i>, 4 Oct.).] "The clock striking two -instead of the usual folly of a small table bell, when <i>Macbeth</i>r's drink was ready -forms an alteration of much good sense and propriety" (<i>World</i>, 2 Oct.). "Of the Lady Macbeths [since the time of $Garrick=] $Mrs Siddons= has exhibited the most happy effect of her skill -has shown a portrait of <i>Lady Macbeth</i>r which before existed but in imagination. $Mrs Yates= claims the second place of eminence; her deportment and manner were equal to Mrs Siddons, but very inferior to her in pathos and energy. $Mrs Pope='s performance lays claim to praise, particularly in the sleeping scene, but there is a certain delicacy and tenderness associated with the powers of that lady which prevents her giving a glowing picture of that female fiend. $Mrs Bates='s performance was sufficiently marking and bold in some passages, but the whole wanted uniformity and finishing" (<i>Public Advertiser</i>, 4 Oct.).
