of Mrs. Pa f.t. imoTom's; our juvenile performer did
not attempt imitation, but sung it in her own usual
chaste style. She likewise executed the favourite
song of 4‘ Let the bright Seraphims," in good style,
and she was admirably accompanyed on the trumpet
by Mr. HYDE. Mr. LINDLEY enraptured the au-
dience with a Concerto on the Violoncello. The

wise played a Concerto on the violin,which was mu' h
applauded. After the Concert, there was a Ball, and

The high charaCter which Mrs. EsTEN has al-
ways maintained as an Actress, and her long absence
from the Stage, have rendered her engagement at
the Edinburgh theatre, a matter of no small in-
terest to the inhabitants of that city, in which her
theatrical abilities were first cherished, and after-
wards attained their meridian splendour. The Cale-
donian Mercury, speaking of her first appearance is
the charafter of Belvidere, snys " the house was, as
might be expected, unusually crowded, and Mrs.
Es.u.sr was most warmly welcomed by every part
of it. Her symmetrical figure, her regular features
and expressive countenance, " spirit speaking eye,"
.graceful a&ion, and soft musical voice—but above
all, her just conception, gave grace, beauty and lus-
tre to the part." Mrs. ESTEN has since played EN.
thrasia and Rnalind, with equal success.
