THE ARGYLL KOOMS.

Miss MACADLEY'S Beading:, being the first of a
new series of entertainment, commenced yesterday
at these Rooms. The versatility of this Lady's
talents, and her admirable powers of imitation,
were displayed to great advantage. Among the
parts particularly entitled to nonce. were, the
garden scene of Roused and Juliet, and the mu-
sical recitation of Lord Vain's Daughter. The
character of De Montfort was judiciously
chosen to display the passion of hatred. It was
what so strong a passion should be--terrifi-
cally effective. In the songs Miss Miscsui.hT
was not less happy than in the recitatiou. The
Duchess of DEVONSHIRE'S beautiful ballad "
Aare a silent sorrow here," was much admired.
