MR. CHARLfS MATEEWS.--This distinguished come.
dian, having co.nplAed a most successful engagement at
The Haymarket, will sail to-morrow fur the Milted
States, where he is about to make a professional t ‘tir.

Virtually this will he his first visit to America, for,
though he crossed the Atlantic nearly 20 years since,
the high reputation he now hony does nit date nearly
so far back. Then he was a celebrated amateur actor,

who had recently become prolesAonal at the Olympic,
and, though his talent and versatility were universally
admired, it was thought that the amstenr e'en), eat was
apps ait even in his best impersonation.. After lit,
return, be became asiociaied with Madame Vestris's bril-

iant management at Cevent-garden, and subsequently
with the equally brilliant management of the Lyceum,
the interval being filled up with engsgenents at the
other principal Loudon theatres. During rill this period
his advance has been most steady, and he now stands
acknowledged as an actor altogether unrivalled in what
is called " eccentric " comedy. Several characters are
so complet4i' identified with his manner of delineation
that probably no other -actor who may attempt them Hill
ever be deemed a sufficient substitute by those wh , has
witnessed Mr. Charles Mathews. At the I •td of these
characters Stands Mr. Affable Hawk, who has gained
f,r the Octme of Speculatton a high, r degree of fame in
London than was attained in Paris by the Mercado of
Balztc, of which it is an adaptation,. To the Adierioans
he will be a " star," not only of the first magnitude, but
of a kind that has not yet shone on the Western world.
FLEsuosz IN FRANOL—Our celebrated pantomimist
is, acs rdint to recent accounts, figuring on the snores
of the Bay of Biscay. The Messoyer de Bayonne is fere
vent in his praise. The writer ex e.rts has ,w-towns-
men of all degrees to rush to the theatre, and exclaims,
"Flexinore is not built like ordinary'rnortal4 There
are no bones in his system ; he is a baudruche in human
shape, iefitted with hydrigva.
The air is his-, proper
medium ; and but that some invisible cord bolds him to
the ground he would venish to a certainty in the depths
of space. He is something ti be neat'y folded up and
put in the pocket till requ.recl for use. I have seen—

likewise eulogised, a having "toes of steel," and exe-

fect eatisfaction of the eri,ie:l playgoers of Bayonne.
FATAL FIGHT IN KENTISH-TOWN.—Yesterday a very
shocking scene took place Li the meadows betwe,-n
Kentish-town and Ifit,h4ate-hill. Two men of the
names of Samuel Mitchell and Matthew Hawkins, ex-
cavators employed upon the line of railway at IC'-'ntj6l3'
town quarrell d about the possession of some tools t
drinking at a public7hou e, called the Assembly Rooms,
at Kentish-;own. Atter a great deal of fighting. and
disturbance between them, in which hundreds joined,
an agreement was made to have a pitched battle, and
for this purpose they repaired to the meadows some
distance off. Hero the tAO men stripped, anti

men ; they fought upwards of, two hours, long before
