,CharaAer of. Lady
Totally was performed by Miss BRUNTON, 'the
daughter of a we11.104,,vn veteran of' the Provincial
Stage. The favourable rei-citts' which preceded the
debut of this Lady were abundantly corfrmed by
her performance. We Understand that She- really
never made her appearance'on any Stage before last
night, and if so, her adinginay be considered as a
• very extraordinary specimen_ indeed of -theatrical
skill. • She entered into the chara6ter, with great .
spirit,.and-sUpported it with,such uniform judgment
as would bafve been very creditable to a praatied

her Manners are, easy. Her face is regular, and ca.

able gaiety, though it was evidently under some
retraint, arising from the terrors naturally atteed,
ant on a 'first appearance. Her voice, which is
clear and well-toned, seems best, adapted to Comedy..
It did not appear to equal advantage, in the last_
scene, where it ought to hive been softened by
tendernt'ss and penitenCe, probably because it was
'pitched rather too high. Every allowance, how.
ever, ought to he made for a young Lady totally
unused topublic speaking, and consequently unused
to adapt her voice,to the size of a Theatre, or to
contend with the awe.andiimiditY .which an midi-
' once must necessarily excite in .to novel a situation.
The audience, which Was a very numerous one,
received Miss BRUNTON' with very great applause
throughous, and evidently considered her as likely..
to become a very valuable ornament to the Stage.
Kemtme,s Lord Town?, was art excellent piece
of 'ading. It was dignified, tender," -and' impres-

but never so well as last night. 'His-. whole per-

priate manners. ' -

heroine'of the piece, and the audience signified their
approbation very heartily..

On Friday last, as Lord STA:THOWS coachman
was eXamining the feet of one of his coach horses,
(suspeaing the shoe toile lobse) the animal kicked,
and hit him on the iempie with the heel of his shoe.
Fortuoitely the horse had not been newly shod, or
the man must have been killed on the spot. His
Lordship sent for a Surgeon, who bled him. He
remained insensible for about halfb an hour ; after
