MISS WENSLEY.

---
[From • Provincial Raper.]

The following brief memoir of Miss E WILMILIT may sot
be unacceptable to many readers. Min W. was born on
the 13th of October, 17119. About twelve months after she
quitted seisms!, she became ■n inmate in the family of tier
maternal townie, a gentleman of high respectability in the
neighbourhood of Taunton, Somersetshire. About two years
since our fair heroine made her debit in a private theatrical
party is one of those respectable families whom her merit,
reeked. The ploy selected was Venice Preverved,i• which
Mum W. performed Belvidere. Her friend., who were
ignorant that she possessed talents for the stage, were
equally astonished and delighted at the manner in which she
pereonated that arduous diameter. She pnartrayrd the
interesting Belvidere in • mylli as natural an 4 impres-
sive, that her audience, who were pertains of eet teal
discrimination, were unanimously of opinion that she
possessed tragic powirs of the Ant order. This was the
more flattering to her, as she bed had only one day to study
the part. En►oerak.d by this sneer.., one next essayed her
powers in Juliet; sad aftewards performed Imogene, in the
tragedy of Bertram. Her seems in both was so great, that
her friends all ■dvised her to soltrit the impartial opinion of
Mr. C. Kreattne, whosethorou eh knowledge alibi profrmioo,
as well as his solisnity of manners and gentlemanlydeportmenl
best qualified I.lm for the task of deciding on our heroine's me.
rite, and his decision was on entirely it. !Wl' favour, this It was
suggested she should immediately appear in Miff. One
morning, however, Mr. FAWCETT, the stage-manager, re.
gamed she would reads scene or two in Aa Tots Like
with Mr C. Kamm!, she ((unmoved, and as soon se she
bad finished, so isimitably chaste and co was h•r
enneeption and delisteation of the Holy, graceful, gentle
Rosalind, that it was immediately determined she should
make her first appearance fn that chewier instead of Artist,
and sem-ding', Miss W. made her debut on the Covent
Garden bootie in the character of tiosalind, on the even-
ing of the 1 Ith of January, Beta, and, as a genuine first
appearance on and public shoe, it 1,113 perhaps one of
the most successful ever witnessed, particularly as preening
to her embracing the histrion,e profession she had never
beets p►eaes, at it dozen theatrical representations in her
Wk. Her "Cuckoo Nang" was given with a grace and
sweetness which dclighled the audience. Miss WrnsLSYj
personal requisites are very great ; her figure is extremely
well formed, and her feattnes are admirably adapted to
powers', the passion.. Her understanding, naturally excel-
lent, has reeeived all the advantages winch cultivation can
give; out her weeral perfnrmutres (whether iu Tragedy or
Comedy) prove that she fully comprehends her author, and
pertectir cutely into the spirit of the chirscier she represents.

A duel was fought on Wedesday morning, in en

two shots, nod one of the parties was coliviteil to

wounded in the hip. It is known that the gentle-
man wounded IS a M►. POTTINORR, hod he was
removed in a gentleman's chariot soon after his
arrival. It has since come out that • Mr. A WSTEI.II.

Haytiaut Papers have been received to the 10th
of Februsry. They contain a full account of the
entry of the &Tablican troop*, without opposition,
into the city of Santiago, in the Spanish part of the
bland, and of the adoption of the Republican Con.,
sittution by the inhabitants. Prior Jouttnile are
filled with the speeches of the various Geneials to
the troops out the commencement of the 19th year
of Hitytian independence. It is to be remembered
that the independence. of Hayti was occasioned en-
tirely by the treacherous attempt of BONAPAI76
to hriug the Hermits in tinder the yoke of sla-
very. Until that mrpe6tion, the inhabitants of the
western (or French) part of the island avowed their
submission t• the French Government. But the
stratagems and butcheries of LECLeac, and the suf.
feting. of Tonicity?. inspired the uegro popnla•
two with a hatred of the French name, and • de-
termination never more to submit to the domino-
tiou of France. Among other benefits which are
stated in these speeches to hate accrued from the
independence of the cunotry, are reckoned the
public schools established by the PRESiDSAT fur
the ittetruetiem of youth. Besides Santiago, it ap-
pears that Cotay, L 4 Vega, Porto Plata, and
bionic Christi, had hoisted the Republican flag.
