As the Pilgrimage, however* is a mere travelling jour nal in versification, it will be impossible to com pare it with the former poems of the samn wri ter. Poetry, in the most exalted acceptation of the word, is linrdly to be expected in a work of this tort; and if Mr. S. had not indulged himself in his favorite petitetse of narration, perhaps his work would stand among tho first of the num berless poems which the same occasion has pro duced. If ho had not said so much of himself, too, the work would havobeen low bulky ahd more readable.

It is in vain for the tnind to attempt to shake off the spoil that is thrown upon it, from the opening of the story to the last dreadful page i?weare hurried along bjr a superior power f we rise from its perusal with sensations that may be be termed sublime. To a reader of strong feelings and imagination, tho interest of the story and the individual life of tho characters, impart a sensation of inolnii. choly almost painful. We can compare tho ef fect only with tho last scone in Lear. It may excite some surprise that a writer of i such great powers, either for the Hpic or Dra-1 matic sphere of exercisS, should have beeii'so singularly neglected by tho Reviewers. But we should fmember, that the form in which he chose to cxmoit his talents, was one in which the critic seldom looks for excellence. A cold and j superficial notice was given in the Quarterly Review, some time back,of " Fatal Revenger' but tho Edinburgh Review has never, to our re* collection, tnade mention of any of his works. Can it be, that because in his " Milesian Chief," ho has vindicated the Irish character, and given a lively description of the tvranny of the English government over that devoted people, the Quar terly Review, therefore, chose to treat him with indifference ? Can it be, that because he is an Irishman, the Kdinburgh Review chose to re gard hint with the same injustice they have evinced towards his illustrious countryman, Phillips ? We think not. We can answer for the Edinburgh Review, that talentn have gene rally, by them, received their merited praise? and that tho works of Mr. Maturin have not been noticed, because the Review did not think to discover, under the unassuming title of Ro? muneen, powers of fancy and of feeling of euch great and varied excellence. Mr. Maturin, however, is now known. His lustre has been shed abroad?and applauding audiences have witnessed hisdramstic talents? his deep and versatile knowledge of human pas sions and emotions. *Tis remarkable, that six months ago wo should havo expressed the wish (sco Patriot of February last) that the author of " Fatal Revengo" would gratify the world with a tragedy. Tno tragedy has been produced? and it* great success will induce Its author, we trust, to impart to the world a larger portion of those sweet associations and sublime conccp Hons wliich dwell In hU -own bosom, flo must not lock up so rich a cabinet of delight. Let his various and astonishing powers bo exhibitod to the public, and that public will guarantee to him the honor of unfolding new sources of hu? man interest?of discovering and enlarging ? new path to the sublimo and beautiful. " Theatre, Drnru tone.?The now tragedy of " Bkhtrah, or the Castle of fit. ^ldebran<Hn which has been so long expected with the most eager anxiety, was produced on Thursday night to a mast splendid and numerous, company v? The high character given of this production, the author of winch, wo understand, is tho R*v. Mr. Maturin, a curate in Dublin, cxcited tho most lively ideaa of its excellence?and the impa tience for its exhibition was further inflamed by the report of the young female candldato for the atrio fame, who was to make her it.? It is not often that public expectation, so univer sal roused, is not wofaUy disappointed. In this instance, however, the warmest anticipa tion came ahort of the actual enjoyment. There hai not been a drama exhibited for many y cars P^M'nfcw? jusflon Arid eloquence of this tra i the poet has wound possessing tho pasfion irt< gedy. 'fyikftl with wh up the asltatlnv storv "P sgUattng story, is really wonderful. From tfuflBrat dovelopeiMnt of (he plot, the characters of Bertram anu Imogen seize on the on the hoart with an interest that is irresistible t and in no previous charaofer has Mr. Kcan had nio^e,ample or striking means of exerting those powers oT soul, by which he penetrates the bo. soma of his auditory, and holds all their emu tlons in sympathy with his own. There are particular passages in this play, of such burning and electrical effect, as to tnake it impossible to remain untouched by their force. The history of its production is curious. It was sent by the author, at the recommendation of Mr. Walter Scott, u Lord Byron, with an earnest cntreaty thttt its fate might be speedily determined on, as the comfm t of his family for the winter, depend ed on its suite**, and ho offered it to l)rury Lsno wholly, fur a very trifling sum. Tho no ble poet read it with such admiration, that he sent it before he slept to the other members of the committee, requesting them, if they did not agree with him in considering it a mo?t extraor dinary work, they would forthwith transmit it to the managers of Covent Harden, that the do serving author might havo tho ch?n<o of both theatres for its acceptance. It was cheerfully accepted, and the noble lord the sumo day sent the author a handsome present.
