MRS. JORDAN.

This Lady has performed for some nights-et 11 a
Richmond Theatre. this season. Me newer wits
[perform there again. The transcendent merits of

bourhood, [ln doubt increased her attraction. 7he

her performance. This night, this fascinatiag vo-
tress will take her leave of it for ever in the Widest

perior classes, have expressed a wish to see her mark
the event by so distinguished a part. Every box
has been, in consequence, eugsged for some days.
and the Manager anticipates a most brilliant re-
sult.
