MRS.. MWRELL.

Mrs. UMBRIA: was tite *laughter of Mr. Davies,
an eminent Carver and Gilder, at Birmingham, and
remarkable for being the person who made the but
from the root of Sssaee 's mulberry-tree,
which Mrs. GAIMICK now has. Her first appear.
ante in the dramatic ►ine was in the part of the Doh
of York, In Riebarrel Me I bird. She then married
Mr. Welds, and perform ...I two seasons at Bath,
and want from thence to Exeter. when, in conse-
quence of a disagreement with her husband, she
came to Landon, and was engaged by Mr. Cot..
MAN, and performed it the Haymarket Theatre.
Mrs. Weiss was extremely handsome, and her
c tunttnance 1110 St eXprI:SSIV:I :ihe had pl ;yeti several
parts with great success, when a little incident oc.
curred in the course of the season, that proved Mrs.
liVetts's readiness i o oblige t!,e Manager in distress
The Begge,s Op. ra was this summer performed
with the sex reversed ; and owing to the beauti!ul
and regretted Mrs. C•aoi cc's sustaining the cha-
rade!. of .ibeli,eth, aid BANNIaTLiei supporting
the part of Polly, GA v's favourite opera had a great
run. but this enchanting :iyren eloping wat'l a
near relation of the Manager, at a time when her
name was announced to perform Alarheatib the en-
suing eve•tinx, threw the Manager into real distress;
in the li-ight of which he applied to Mrs. Wm.,
to wriertn the character, which she immediately
complied with, and absolutely icicle.' the character
in two sty,. But now another obstacle arose to
perplex this Manager: Mrs. Canotot hcd gone off
in .11,1(.4er:tea clothes. Mrs. Watts was therefore
obliged to beg the loan of a coat of one, and waist.
coat and breeches of another ; the public can vouch
for the truth of these assertions. The manner in
which she supported so difficult a character, at so
short a notice, snack the audience with surprise.
Mrs. Wtoos, at the beginning of the winter, had
the good tor tune to be introduced to Mr. Sit tat am
who immediately engaged her for three years. Her
ant appearance on Drury-lane Stage was in the part
of Nencv, in the Musical Entertainment of Me
Camp. the same success attended her as at the
Haymarket Theatre. Mrs. Watts now. for the
first time, judged herself likely to live independent
of the world ; but many unforeseen events tended
to remcve these. pleasing symptoms of future hap-
piness; the ineunthrance of a mother and sister in
town, and a brother to provide for in the country,
dis:tessed her Moaners, and obliged her to renew her
application to Mr. Cougars.
This Lady has, since that time, been the most
advnired A:tress on the different stage. on which she
has preformed. At Weymouth and Cheltenham
she was honoured with Royal Patronage, and also in
London frequentlyhonoured with Royal Command.
The latter scenes of her life, we understand, will be
shortly before the public.
