SNIITH SON (of whom our
continental neighbours have been most enthusiastic in their
Praises) made her fist appearance before a Glasgow
audience on Monday evening last, in the arduous character
'of Belridera, in OTWAY'S tragedy of Venice Prcserred ;
and although her style of performance ins quite new to the
British stage, and partakes more of the French than the
English school of acting, yet her representation of the ten-
der and devoted wife, was marked with extraordinary
physical and mental energy, and frequently drew forth the
hearty and unanimous applause of a highly respectable
audience. Her figure is tall, and finely moulded, and her
countenance is beautiful and expressive, and fully capable
of pourtraying all the deep and stormy emotions of wild
and ..uncontrolled passion ; but we admired her more in
scenes where the gentler attributes of female loveliness and
devotion were ealled immediately into action.— Glasgow
Free Press.

Her figure is tall and elegant, her hair dark, her eyes ex-
pressive, and the whole of her physiognomy agreeable,
with a remarkably graceful carriage. Her voice ia a
soprano, dashing and strong in the high notes, soft and
flexible in the middle OMR, full and grave in the lower
chords, and peculiarly clear in her intonations. fier
debut in Ztlitara, and most of her subsequc nt performances,
base been much applauded. She is said to be engaged
. for the ensuing season in London. 111ademoiselle SONTAG
is, however, still thefavuurite, having perfectly recovered
bee voice and her health, with the exception of a lame-
ness, which is very observable. Mademoiselle Jim:-
Farrsa requires much practice and instruction before
she can equal her fair countrywoman in excellence or
popularity.

The first novelty to be produced at Covent-
gar•den Theatre, is a tragedy by Mr. Thomas
author of If Love. The new work posse sacs at-
tractions of a rather peculiar kind, as the two principal
characters, father and daughter, are Jews, and will be re-
presented by Mr. KIMBLE and his sweet daughter. It
was at first intended to bring out this peace immediately ;
but the advice of friends has induced the manager to de-
termine on letting Miss KIMBLE play 'Madera first.
Venice Preserved is therefore in preparation, and will be
the second play in which Miss KIMBLE will act,—Court
