PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

A young American actress, Miss Virginia Monier,
made her first appearance before an English audience
at this theatre, on Saturday, in the character of Mrs.
Haller. Miss Virginia Monier is young; her figure is
well formed, .but slendet, and she is somewhat above the
middle height ; her features are good, and her counte-
nance expressive, and her voice is exquisitely sweet and
musical. She is roost lady-like, and never " oversteps
the modesty of nature," tind yet she is most pathetic.
Her elocution is beautiful. She is certainly one of the
most correct readers on the stage. Her conception of the
part of Mrs. Haller is beautiful, but the fear of over-
acting (a most wholesome fear in a debutante), and the
nervousnet s under which she was evidently labouring,
prevented her doing the full justice to her powers at the
commencement of the play, which she was enabled to
do towards the conclusion, when she became somewhat
more accustomed to her audience. Her natural powers
are great, her taste is pure and delicate, and that she will
be a most Valuable acquisition to the English stage there
cannot' be a doubt. Her success was complete—the
applause throughout was enthusiastic ; it was the
genuine honest applause of the audience. She was
called for at the conclusion, and greeted with shouts of
cheering and showers of bouquets, and seldom have
cheers and bouquets been better deserved than they
were by Miss Virginia Monier.

PROPOSED STATUE IN THE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sits,—Should the plan as suggested by " Alfred" in

Lord Mayor, or any other distinguished gentleman, who
may cousent to act as Treasur, the amount of pence paid
at their respective establishments, towards the statue in
the Royal Exchange ; and, as the same amounts to a.

FRACAS AT BELLEWSTowN BAcr.s.—A most unplea-
santtransaction, in which Mr.
aris-
ing, we believe, out of a recentceteinS
m
y
sant rencontre took place on the race-eetuse yesterday,
th, who, it may
Hamilton ikcted as
be remembered, challengedn by Mr. M'Donagh, and
but as the whole matter
refused that gentleniana
the
public it is unnecessary to advert
has already been before
nt occasion. We will, therefore,
further on the present
to it facts as they occurred yesterday. Mr. Ha-
miltonmerely state the .
standing near the line of carriages opposite the
was s
when Ir. M‘Donagh came up, and addressing
stand-house, eferniemneti
bered, had
him said, "Hamilton,
you are one of the greatest scoundrels
and cowards I ever knew; and but that I fear you would
bring me
into the Queen's Bench, I would horsewhip you
within an inch of your life,"—at the same time brandishing
a small stick over his shoulders, and telling him "to
consider himself horsewhipped," adding, " The first time I
meet your blackguard companion, I will serve him the same
way." Mr. Hamilton turned round and said, " Your present
conduct shows you are just the scoundrel I always took yon
for, and I want to have inthing to do with you." Mr.
M'Donagh again repeated that but for fear of being brought
into the Queen's Beach he would thrash him, upoti which.
Mr. Hamilton said, "1 pledge you my honour, sir, I will not
bring you into the Queen's Bench if you strike me." " The*
have at you and be d—d to you," said Mr. Nl`Donagh, ac-
companying the words with a blow of his stick, first across
Mr. Hamilton's shoulders, and afterwards his face, which
broke his stick. Mr. Hamilton immediately jappied with
and struck Mr. 3l•Donagh. Some one nresen handed Mr.
Hamilton a stick, upon seeing which Mr. M'Donagh ran
away, followed by Mr. Hamilton, who struck him two or
three times, apparently severely, on the head. We were
in-
formed that at a subsequent period of the day some very
aflensive language was addressed by Mr. M'Donagh to Mr
liomilton.—Dublin Freeman.

On Thursday, his Highness Ibrahim Puha, after
going over Barclay and Perkins's Brewery, paid a visit to
the celebrated tailoring establishment of E. Moses and Son,
in the Minories, where he was conducted through the entire
range of premises, and the different purposes of each depart
ment were explained to him. During his visit his Highness
was introduced to the proprietor, Mr. I. Moses, with whom
he shook hands, and expressed, through his interpreter, hie
admiration of the beauty of the building, and the extra.
lency of the arrangement.
