    from criticism . It can , however , be ' - truly said that the amateurs on this occasion acquitted—themselves exceedingly well . The . .. . part of M & dame de Foniavges , by Miss Kate Carson , was well conceived and the conception well carried out , and-the sleek and oily hypocrisy of the consummate scoundrel , 31 . Desmarels , the obsequious tool of' Fouclie , was exhibited' with very telling effect by Mr . Lorrequer . The other pieces were Morton ' s comic drama of " A Desperate Game , " and Charles Selby ' s farce of" Tho Widow ' s Victim , " in which , in addition to those -named , the following ladies and gentlemen sustained parts : — Miss A . de Terry and Miss Turner , and Messrs .
