Mrs. his daughter, performed the Widow Cheerly,. and Ella Rosenberg, and we never saw that incomp trasl.: Actress with greater pleasuie. She pourtraye-1. the - lively widow with her accustomed ease and elegance. To the original Epilogue she added some occasional lines respecting her Father, which-she delivered in so pathetic a manner, that it drew tears - from some of the most lovely eyes of the united kingdom. In her Ella Rosenberg, we witnessed a display of most ex quisite and finished acting. Her supplications to Mountfort, her parting with Storm, her hysteric laugh, and her meeting with Rosenberg, created sensations in the hearts of the audience wntch could not be ex pressed ; and the frequent and successive plaudits bestowed upon her, bore testimony to those feelings. Mr. RICHARDS spoke an appropriate Farewell Ad dress, and retired amidst reiterated burst of applause. Among the number who adorned the house on the above night, we obkrved in the.boxes, Lady MARY BROWNE, Lady Came, Lady SMITH, Lady MgYERS, Mrs. BOLRLEY, Mrs. *Leon, Miss Pouts, ;cc:— The receipt of the house was seventy pounds.

Notwithstanding the crowded Theatre last night, after the last tribute to the. veteran RICHARDS, Mr. and Mrs. BUSH'S Ball was most fashionably attended, and the festivity was kept up until a late hour. Tuesday last as Sir ESSEX EDGEWORTH was turn ing his chariot and four fine blood horses, near .Mr. SMITH'S boarding-house, the pole of the chariot broke, which frightened the horses, caused thorn to plunge and run off ungovernable. Sir ESSEX and an- ther Gentleman were on the box, and thought it more prudent to jump off than to run the risk of being thrown ; they fortunately escaped with little injury, a few bruises excepted ; the horses were al nrist miraculously stopped by a Mr. BARNETT and ST' ESSEX'S servant, but in checking their career then to Tied against a house and all fell together ; m active men ran up instantly, cut the traces and 1 toe rated the spirited animals, two or three of which ap pezred 'much hurt, but the carriage seceived very We injury.
