W e have ever been of the opinion I
that tiur predecessors wasted much
of their time io unnecessary studies,
and useless researches. Witliui,
the case is widely different. Time
and space, ive annihilate at pleasure.
The Lancastrian system will con-
Jirm the first, and steam navigation
our latter position. But while these
mid other improvements have re
ceived the meed of general approna
ti»'i «e appear to have entirely
overlooked the important advance
loeni cn.it has been effected in the fa
«ilnies which are a Horded tothe for
tuation if a modern critic. Inform
er times, none w ere deemed comp -
tent judges of histi ionic excellence,
except those who, (o (he advantages
of a classical educa ion, united «
long .Hid intense applic tion to tiie
old dramatic cri its, and a n.inuit
investigation o all the biaek-lctter
produc lions These it«laiiiinent a
were reduced to practical use, by a
personal interchange of opinion wit!
the ablest performers, and most »(i
--entitle artists of their time. At the
present day, no such exertions arc
Xtecesarys lor classical acquirements,
we now only demand a tolerab'
knowledge of orthography; for a te
dious study of Longinus or Boileao
we requite n few casual glances at
the Monthly Mirror; and, instead • I
a close perusal of Hector, Boethius,
ami Hulingshead, we are contented
wiih a cursory r ading of the daily
gazettes. These profound snulie-.
are elucidated by [attending a leVtiie
atrie d exhibitions, and listening to
the learned conversat 0"S that may
be heard at a public dinner of “Am
ateurs ot the Drama,” As fur the
arts connected with science en bel-
Hshment amt illustration, an iy c«
sional peep into our •• Academy ”
and a little chi'chat with its selenitic
«Ji octors, will be alt sufficient The
imno of a critic, thus uneocumhe.cd
witn ponderous !o*e. may mount on
the w ing, of imagination, nd rove,
Unrestricted, through the expanded
regions of fancy.
When such is the facility with
vhn b a person may lie qualified for
Wb t w,»s f nnerly considered an
** a wild station,” we are rather stir
prized at t:e paucity, than'the num
oer of dramatic writers. It mu-t,
Jho "ever, be admitted, that the mod.
en education of a critic is attended
with some disadvantages; but with
Hone, we believe, that may not
be bviated. He may, perchance,
throw up his cap and shout “ Bravo’*
at some of the miserable interpo
latinos ot D.ivenant, in Macbeth: or
Write a studied nenigyric on Loan’s
beatrilui trai satioa in the line,, —so
inurh for Buckingham”—-while the
actor’s happy conception of« the im-
D»oi tal bard,” may at length be found
to .eloii* to the luckless t ibber. Yet,
it bv no means follows that the crit
ic is t 0 become blind by collating the
innovations of Commentators, with
the text of Shakspeare.
V\ hat it Virginius choses to slay
his >lhu<r ter'with a carvng knife?
Is it expected of a critic that he

pone Mr. Kean flunks proper to have

Jack Rugby, at his heels; is a critic
to scan h a text of a whole scene, to
inform us whether Macbeth had his
cuirass hanging on a pike-staff, or
died “ with harness on his backr”
Nor would it be more charitable to
compel a writer to pore over the Vwn
etian annals, merely to gratify an
idle curiosity, whether a “ noble
Moor” was pertaited by ita“ Army
Regulations” to wear his native
costume iu their service.
As to verbal criticism, we con
sider it beneath the notice of a writer
on the drama —let Mr. Kean subdi
vide,
“ Hang cut our barmen on tbe outward wall*,”
into as ma y sentences as lie may
see fii; is he not justiliable in making
tlie mo tot his part? Os if he chons
e* to re td inhibit for inhauit, sure
ly, to a ertic of only comm n obser
vation, it will be obvious that Shak
speare could never have intended to
assert that Dun-inane, or a ti#ntlier
part of Scotland, was an in ua air a
hle country; much less would lie
have offered it i bold contrast, us the
preferable alternative to a “ deaei t.”
Respecting the usual diciion ol
modern ckitiques, we»hallinow offer
afew remarks. The language is gen
erally bold and sonorous, and the in
volution of the sentences, bid defi
ance to the disentanglement of vul
gar comprehensions. If we were to
point out any particular fault, it
would be the too limited use of the
word moral. A word of sin h indefi
nite meaning, and unrestristed pow
er, may safely exercise its übiquifary
function* in any ct mposilioii’ It
may also lie not c d, that the effect
of the several passions, and external
perceptio s, on the mind,are not s«(-
liiiently dwelt upon. A criticism,
w thoui even noticing the (.ciTorm
ance, may be extended to a very re
spectable eii&th, by (he mere recital
of the convulsive throes attendant on
fiat, terror, love, joy, shipwreck,
hegt, wind, damp, or cold feot. But,
to conclude, the great and leading
object of modern criticism is not to
be, but to appear, profound Mr.
Addison has said that “ (he words
unity, action, sentiment, and diction,
pronounced with an air of authority,
give them a figure among unlearned
readers, who are apt to believe they
are very deep, ' ecause they are un
intelligible.” The practice of modern
writers, proves that the hint thrown
out by the celebrated essayist has
rot been wholly overlooked

JaiiU'iiy 23, 1821.
At a meeting of the President ami IV;
rectors of the lV.uk of the. United States,
In Id this flay, the following report was a
dopted and ordered to be published, viz.
The committee on the state of tite Bank,
to whomwas referred the enquiry whether
on the first day ot January 1821, the losses
ofthe Bank had been restored and the
capital made who!-.
REPORT,
That limy have diligently examined the
documents in possession oldie bank, with
a view to ascertain the exact situation of
the institution, and now present, as a pa, t
of this report, a statoment of the losses
winch have occurred in the various de
partments of the institution', up to the first
day of January lust.
This la ement is founded on returns
received from the offices, made at tin de
sire ofthe board, and under the inspection
ofthe officers and committees of the op.-
ous boards, who were specially instructed
to icport on the character of the debts
due to the offices over which they presi
ded.
'I hese rep orts are from all but the five
western offices, and art elated in June a.ui
December, 1820, and contain a .specifica
tion of all debts due at each office unde,

The losses in the western offices of Pin s
hurgh, Chilicoche, Loinglou and Lo u,
viue, are taken on the report of Mr. Wil
son‘ (Lsliier, ma 1c on the 2511 i Decemh
last, to this b“ard, on bis return from an

On the accuracy oi which report you:

On this documentary evidence, yon
committee report the losses of tiie bam.

And to make good that loss
the following ileu s are
to be relied o>‘:

The facts, therefore, in the opinion of
he committee, shew, that the past losses
f the Bank have been repaired and that
i'.e capital was reestablished and mad
vhole on ttie first day of January last; anil
lie committee are of opinion that it is d .e
o the public and the stockh )Iders,on lii

n order that the slate of ihe institution
nay not remain a subject of painful doubt,
among those who are now interested, ot
if deception and misrepreseniation, as .t
regards those who may desire to becem

the institution, it is fit to rems k, tha

tuac by the present stagnant state of pun.
merer, which prevents the Bank e»
ploying its large capital advantageously,
and by the fact that the interest on con
siderable sums winch are due to the Bank,
though deemed secure, are not currently
paid, and therefore cannot be considered
a profit on which dividends may be declar
ed. Under these impressions and cir
cumstances, the committee recommended
thi following resolve*:—
Resolved, s hat, in the opinion of the
Board, the losses of the Bank previously
sustained were repaired, and that the cap
ital stock was reestablished and made
whole on the first day of January 182 J.
Resolved, That, in future and until the
further order of the Board, tha. the Bank
will loan and that the offices be authorised
to loan; at the discretion and convenience
of the respective Boards, on a pledge of
the capital stock to the amount o f the par
value thereof but in no case, and under
no pretence of additional security connec
ted with such pledge, above that rate

Mississippi Stock-—The follow
ing extract from Degrand’s boston
W cckly Sale Report has been for
warded to us 4 *request,” with
the design, apparently, t«* call our
particular attention to it:
MISSISSIPPI STOUK.
By the Official Statement, accompanying
the Annual Report « f the Secretary ofthe
Treasury to Congress, it appears that,
from the Ist Jan to the 20, h
there wee actually received iu Cash from
Mississippi and Alabama Lands, as fol
low's, viz •
Into the Treasury, §181,227 32
And by Receivers appointed
by the United Mates, 255,346 66
§"41,573 9^
While the total amount ofthe
Mississippi Slock outstand
ing was only, 694,176 32
Making a sum on hand, re
ceived by the U. States,
ov r and above what would
pay oft'all the Slock of g-14,397 65
Besides the amount collected
between the 20: li June and
tne present lime, which
cannot be estimated at less
than 700.090 00
Making an overplus in the
Coffers of the U. States of §744,397 66
Besides the amount necessary to pay off
the whole of.the. .Mississippi Slock.
It seems a'so by the same Treasury
Statem.-nt, that the sale ofthe lands, up
to the 20th June, 1820, had exceeded
eighteen millions of dollars.
If this view of the subject is correct,
does not justice require that the holders
of Mississippi Stock should be paid off in
stantly? If this view is correct, let the
Editors oT the National Intelligencer, or
some olli .T gentleman at Head Quarters,
furnish to the Public some explanations by
means of which it may be seen that the
govern ment of the United States is, in this
transaction, us it aims lo be in every thing,
perfecllii just P. P. E. DEGRAND.
Ihongli we do not feel ourselves
under my obligation to answer every
intimation of this sort a dressed to
us, we have so much respect lor the
querist in this case, so much conti
■inee in his general accuracy, and
-itch a desire to gratify his laudable
anxiety for information, that we have
' .ken the trouble to app y to the pro
er Office for that information on the
subject which it could he supposed
ve were pe serially possessed of.
Subjoined is . statement thus oh
'aine.ci, which it is hoped will be en
‘irelv satisfactory. The solution of
ihe emir, into vviiich Mr Degrand
by* fallen, is fobe found in his con
ft.uniting monies paid for lands
hough!, with moneys actually accru
ing to tin; I’reasury. The moneys,
in the bands «l the receivers of pub
lic moneys at the land office in Ala
bama and Mississippi. are not appli

indeed, being actually in smt. The
money received for sales of lands in
(hose slates is applicable to that ob
ject, hut nut until it is received into

•Mr. Cooler.
On Friday Evening , Hamlet,dfy Mr. Cooper
In this gentleman’s representation of
the mail, jet philosophic Dane.manj' beau
ties were manifested with few defects ;
but those defects vanished ao)|dst the ex
cellencies we beheld. To be more par
ticular—Hamlet’s meditation on the sud
den marriage of his mother with his uncle
—the interview with the Ghost—his pre
tended madness—were represented by
Mr Cooper with his usual justness and
beauty of acting ;—but the play scene dis
played his powers in a wonderful degree.
The several phrases “That’s wormwood,”
and “He poisons him i’lhe garden for his
estate,” were spoken With effect, and ad
mirably expressed.
But Mr. Cooper’s finest piece of acting
was yet to come.—The 4 h scene of the
3d act, drew forth his resources in a feel
ing and forcible manner. When he speaks
daggers to Ills mother’s heart, and pour
trays in living culms her foul deed—lds
look—liis action, on the entree of the
ghost, were one continued chain of excel
lencies; each was thought the best; yet
it would be impossible to deteimlne which
part possessed peculiar merit over the
other.
We perceive Mr. Cooper’s readings are
altered very essentially, and i.. many in
stances for tile, better, and that time and
experience have mellowed down his pas
stonsto the proper standard : —On the pre
sent occasion the house was crowded; and
tins Hero of the stage commanded fre
quently,, the loud and cheerful plaudits of
a discerning audience. p.

Plotted Massacre in St,
Domingo.
Capt Bright, ofschr, Minerva, arrived
at the Vineyard, from Cape Haytien,
whence he sailed on the 28th ultimo,
info ms, that a plot for the indiscriminate
masacre of all the whites and mulattoes
in the place, had been discovered just
before he sailed, and all the ringleaders
secured. Five thousand blacks were ar
med for the purpose & there bl .ody design
was to have been put into execution on
Christmas day; but was happily discover
ed in time to prevent it, and the assem
blageof blacks was dispersed. On the
