MISS ADELAIDE KEMBLE.----We are glad to hear
that this favourite singer is fast reeovering from her late
indisposition. A severe sore throat was the immediate
cause of her inability to appear on Saturday at Covent
garden, but there is every reason to expect that she will
sing ne,xt Saturday. Her physician (1)r. Wilson) has
advised her not to go to Brighton on Monday, conse-
quently the concert which had been announced for that
day has been postponed to the 19th inst., when Miss
Ketuble, Miss Dolby, Giubilei, and John Parry will sing.
