MADAME CELESTE.—This talented lady is now
delighting the good people of Portsmouth, Southsea, &c.,
by her inimitable representation of the ever "Green
blushes," "Paris and Pleasure," and other of her favourite
characters. At the termination of this month Madame
Celeste will proceed to Liverpool, accompanied by the
Lyceum company, where arrangements have been made
for the production of the principal dramas in which she has
always held so distinguished a position in the opinion of
the public. Among these are " The Tale of Two Cities,"
Ihe 'burlesque of " King Thrush Beard," with the brilliant
,` transformation scene," which was so eminently successful
'4 London, and received the universal commendation of the
tress. We understand that Madame Celeste, on leaving
i'verpeel, will go to Dublin, where she will remain until
the
end of June, and where we feel persuaded her charming
talent will ensure her the most gracious reception which
u4l* hospitable friends on the other side of the Irish Channel
~
