HAYMARKET. night, under the title of the Late Lamented, may depend upon the fact that it was devised in the first instance for drawing-room performance. Like many other pieces that are to the mind of private audiences, this little comedy, which is no comedy, does not amuse the public very much. Its fault is, that while it is extravagant enough for the most reckless sort of farce, it gives itself high comedy airs, and affects really to be displaying character. The common public has a wholesome relish for broad nonsense, as it may relish brown stout-in the pewter. The stout, if it were presented in a claret-jug, would be as welcome as this piece in its fine comedy dress.
