MRS. JORDAN.

1.11 ERPOOT., SErr.

This fascinating actress has, after an aisenc,•
seven years, returned for a 1..0 nielits, to ',ratify lh:•
gay inhabitants of I.4.•rinuil. toid clic:vett their
theatre by her inimitable pert nuances. Iter first
appearance was on Nlomlay night. Her arrival
hod scarcely been whets every box
was iinniediately engaged, and, before the curtail'
(dew up, every port of the house wag crowded.
Her character was ;Th.. 1'c.414, in The Cosrarr"
(.nl. inc•nc:it she appeared upon the steg•-.
she was received with tl: • most rapturous urpluuse,
which motioned doting the whole of the play. It
is not possible to snake dry new observations. with
regard to her matinee of patirtraying this character.
Her peculiar merit is so uoiver,ally admitted, that
any attempt to criticise would be as presumptuous,
as eucomitiin would be useless. Thut nathral sim-
plicity, female archness, and youthful playfulness,
which originally confirmed her pretensions to supe-
riority in this line of the drama, were us r.dispien-
ons throughout every• act of the Play, as the first
night she appeared on the boards of u London thea-
tre. The people of Liverpool seemed eatrenielv
delighted with her.

The olay, with the exception of Miss Peggy, was
but ioiliGreiitly supported ; the character of goody
was, however, respectably personated by Mr. Cram.
Mr. Rae, in Beleille, was passable. Insignificant
as the character of Spfrricisk is, Mr. Jones seemed
to have no idea of it. Alithea was very well repre-
sented by Mrs. Tort/in. Mrs. Jordan looked ex-
ceedingly well, and was in high spirit:.
Last night was one of the most tempestuous
nights ever known here. Trees innumerable hake
bees torn up by the roots. I dare say you will hear
of a great deal of damage having been done among
the shipping.

Yesterday morning, His MAJESTY. and Pri;l-
