Mrs. EDWIN, the late favourite on the Bath and
Dublin boards, it at present performing in Edinburgh
with great applause. Her characters are mostly in
genteel comedy, brit she is also highly qualified to
shine as a tragic performer. The Managers of Drury-
lane have engaged her for three years, at a liberal
salary.

HTDE PARK.—This place, yesterday, was, 2.5 on
the preceding day, crowded with skaiting amateurs,
who repaired to the banks of the Serpentine River,
with intent 'to pass the day on the frozen element.
They had provided themselves with sandwich-boxes,
well stoied with beef, ham, &c. ; but they were dis-
appointed when they found constables stationed there
to prevent any one from going on the ice, which was
not considered strong enough to bear the great num-
ber of persons emulous to venture upon it.
