The chief beauty of the plot is its extreme simplicity; a half-dozen words will describe it:--_Mr. Bang_ goes out for a day's "Enjoyment," and is disappointed! This is the head and front of the farceur's offending--no more. Any person eminently gifted with patience, and anxious to give it a fair trial, cannot have a better opportunity of testing it than by spending a couple of hours in seeing that single incident drag its slow length along, and witnessing a new comedian, named Bass, roll his heavy breadth about in hard-working attempts to be droll. As a specimen of manual labour in comedy, we never saw the acting of this _debutant_ equalled. We are happy to find that, determined to give "living _English_ dramatists a clear stage and fair play," the "Council" are bringing forward a series of stale translations from the _French_ in rapid succession. The "Married Rake," and "Perfection,"--one by an author no longer "living," both loans from the _Magasin Theatral_--have already appeared. * * * * * FINE ARTS. SUFFOLK-STREET GALLERY.--ART-UNION. The members of this institution have, with their usual liberality, given the use of their Galleries for the exhibition of the pictures selected by the prize-holders of the Art-Union of London of the present year. The works chosen are 133 in number; and as they are the representatives of "charming variety," it is naturally to be expected that, in most instances, the selection does not proclaim that perfect knowledge of the material from which the 133 jewel-hunters have had each an opportunity of choosing; nevertheless, it is a blessed reflection, and a proof of the philanthropic adaptation of society to societies' means--a beneficent dovetailing--an union of sympathies--that to every one painter who is disabled from darting suddenly into the excellencies of his profession, there are, at least, one thousand "connoisseurs" having an equal degree of free-hearted ignorance in the matter, willing to extend a ready hand to his weakly efforts, and without whose generosity he could never place himself within the observation and patronage of the better informed in art. As this lottery was formed to give an interest, indiscriminately, to the mass who compose it, the setting apart so large a sum as L300 for a prize is, in our humble opinion, anything but well judged.
