MR. CHARLES MATHEWS.—This distinguiehed come-
dian, have g coetpleted a most successful eneagement at
'he Haymarket, will sail to-morrow for the United
States, where he is about to make a professional t ur.
Virtually this will he his first visit to America. for,
though he crossed the Atlantic nearly 20 years since,
the high reputation he now hull, does not date newly
so far back. Then he was a celebrated amateur actor,.
who had recently become professionit at the Olympic,
and, though his talent and versatility were universally
admired, it was thought that the amateur eleu ent
wait
appa-sit even in bis best impersonation-. Alter hi
return he became associated with Madame Vestris's bril-
liant management at Covent-garden, and subsequently
with the equally brilliant management of the Lyceum,
Vie interval being filled up with engag .rnerits at the
other principal London theatres. During all this period
his ad.vaoce has been mos; steady, and he "now stands
acknowledged as an nc;;e. altogether unrivalled in what
is called " eccentric" comedy. Several characters are
so complet identified with his meaner of delineation
that probably no other actor who may attempt them
ever be deemed a sufficient ,übetitute by those wh has e
witnessed Mr. Charles Mathews. At the t etd of these
character 4 stands Mr. Affable Hawk, who has gained
fit the °ante of Speculation a hiete-r degree of fa'ii- in
London than was attained in Paris by the Mercudct of
Ralzec, of which it is a, adaptation. To the Americans
be will be a " star," not only of the first magnitude, hut
of a kind that has not yet shone on the Western world.
FLRXMORS IN FRANCE.—Our celebrated pantomimist
is, ace rdine to recent accounts, fienrieg on the shores
of the Bay of Biscay. The 111 essoger de Bayonne is fer-
vent in his praise. The tinter ix ierte his fell ex-towns-
men of all degrees to rush to the theatre, and exclaims,
" Flextnore is not built like 'ordinary mortale. There
are no b ,nes in bis syst,m ; he is a baudruche in human
shape, iufl teed with hydrogen. The air is his proper
medium ; and but that some invisible cord holds him to
the ground he would vanish to a certainty in the depths
of space. He is sometteng to be neatly folded up and
put in the pocket till regmred for use. I have seen—
yet do I not believe !" Hi partner, Meddle. Auriol, is
likewise eulogised, as having "toes of steel," and exe-
cuting the most admiral:le T. rpsichorean feats to the per-
fect satisfaction of the emit:ll illy-goers of Bayonne.
FATAL FIGHT IN KENTISH-TOWN.—Yesterday a very
shocking scene took place i-i
