SIGNORA STOTIACE—TIER FAREWELL-AT/DRESS OM ING FROM THE STAGE—IIER MANNER OF MAKING HES EXIT—TIER GENERAL MERITS AS A SINGER, AND AS AN ACTRESS. On Monday evening Signora Storare performed the part of . Rarelta, in Mr. Dibdin's opera of 777. Cabinet, and after the opera and the string of songs that is so frequently made a part of the benefit entertainments, she came forward to sing an address to the audience on her final retirement from the stage. This musical adieu had been written by Mr. Colman, and was deli vered with a good deal of feeling by Signora Stowe. In sing ing the first verse she appeared to he so overcome by her sensi bility, that she actually seemed weeping : but the illusion of these tears was destroyed, when in the next verse she had occa sion to say, " No studied tear I've taught to glisten." If nothing. had been said, we might have been deceived : bait this assertion betrays itself: and rctninds us only of the canit'ry boy in Mr. O'Keefe's farce, who having opened a letter directed to his master, delivers it to the old gentleman, saying of his own accord with great earnestness, " I assure you, Sir, I have not " opened it." However, it is some eninpliment to the :Wing of the Signora, that we were at first deceived into a belief that her tears were real.. The principal misfortune that she derived from the auk-. wartl Contrivance that we have been blaming, was that when she came ta the conclusion of lwr address, and was carried of the stage in tt swoon by Mr. ilannister and Mr. Brahma, a !sus picion stole upon the . minds of some among the audience, that the swoon was as carefully . studied as the - tear had been before. Nceortiinglv.great . disputes arose, whether . this swoon vvere a jajni or a Icing : and, many persons were unable to decide whe ther the Signora had been eery much effecter?, or only eery of: If the sensibility were not the result of sensibility, hot , 'll2re acting', then Signora - Stowe unquestiotuthly kept up the character of an actress most • completely to the last moment, anti deserves to - be praised for adhering to the excellent rule of Quolis ab inreptv7—but we are rather inclined to think that the whichagitateol her on taking leave of the 'stare. Joidne to the beat of a crowded house, and the exertions which the had ::ntv• through in the course - of the evening, did really conquer tier , 0 far as to render her incapable of supporting herself. She re . tired amid the ttniverstil plaudits of a thronged audience.
