The furor for juvenile theatricals (says a Liverpool paper) is become so prevalent, that we should not be surprised to hear of a play performed by actors and actresses under the age of 11 years. The Castkirk Roscius, who performed at Manchester on Tuesday evening to an overflowing house, and with the most enthusiastic applause, plays the part of Young Norval, at Chester, on Monday. Several Boxes are engaged by the Liverpool gentlemen, who we understand are going to see this little phenomenon. It is rumoured that Mr. Brown is in treaty with the manager of Covent Garden on behalf of his son. The Boy had also appeared as Frederic in the Lover's Vows, and announced for Hamlet.
