MRS. JORDAN.

A respelable Weekly P..per has represented 17j;
Lady as playing at Richmond to houses under HA ,
while the country is running ifter ir.f lutine Protii:lnd
Rostins.—Cettainly, if a stror.7 case of folly .
on the part of a British audience could be
conceived, it would be tae preference h.re
stated ; but, to the credit of a British att,.e .ce, we
do assert that it bas no foundation in fait. Mrs.
JORDAN has not phiyed at Richmond this summer
season. nor at any other theatre. We also know
that this favourite aeltess could have commanded
any terms at any of the prlriciral 'nevus of ttte
United Kingdom ; hot, vel-el a London audience
recolle6t with what constancy and z-al la.• has tie-
voted herself to their arnns 'relent, they will scarcely
think an intermission or lin profiessional ditties for
a leu weeks too great an indulgence, particalarly as
it will enable her to meet them next winter with
improved health and sririt..
