COVENT OARDEN THEATHC.—On Thursday night,
on the re-appearance of that distinguished actress Mrs.
Siddons, to perform Lady Mocheth, for the benelt of
her brother, Mr. C Kendsle, all the avenues to this
theatre were crowded at an early hour. As soon as
the doors were opened, the rush toward the pit was
violent in the extreme, and grent danger was appre-
licntled than the heavy pressure of the vast multitude.
Iltit when Mrs. Siddone came tilrwatd, one burst of
celamation followed.-1-lats awl handkerchiefs were
wnvinc.^, and every party smiled to have hal in
stantancously forgotten the broils in which they had
been just engaged, and the inconveniences to which they
ivere stihjecte.l. This eminent actress appeared greatly
ailiNited by the, enthnsiwstie manner in whicb she was
received, She curtsied several times to the audience,
and all the eloquence of her eye was summoned to ex-
press those feelings of gratitude under which even
her tongue must have faltered. It is unnecessary
to offer any observations upon her periOrmance. She
sustained the character in every scene with all that
magniti.ence and majesty which distinguished her so
much in the meridian of her career. Every word sho
uttered was stamped with a sterling impression. Mr.
Kemble's Macbeth it would be superfluous to praise,
admired as it has been and ever deserves to be. Mr.
C. Keinble perlhrmed Alackbr with his usual energy
and success.
