DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Mrs. JORDAN'S Country
Girl attracted, last night, one of the most brilliant ,
and crowded audiences of the season. This fascinating
Child of Nature never was happier in her performance
of the youthful Peggy, which is one of those efforts of
genius, that can never satiate by repetition, and of
the excellence of which no idea can be formed from
the most glowing description. The richness of her
laugh, the ineffable sweetness of her smile, the address
with which slike changes the letter, are all beauties we'
can never expect to see equalled by another. Mrs.
,JORDAN received throughout the most rapturous ap-
plause. The new Pantomime followed, with increased
success. The Marquis of Rtirrmoros, the Earl of
PrTEttßoitoucat, Sir Jous and Lady LADE, the Hon.
Mrs. DAMER, and a number of Nobility, were pre.
sent.

COVENT-GARDEN THRATR/L—The new Opera of
Two Face suede r a Hood, was performed last night,
and received such applause as beautiful music aed
fine acting must always command. Mrs. DICKONS
has been long considered in the first class of singers ;
she now ranks among our first actresses.—The new
Pantomime followed. GRIMALDI and BOLOGNA seized
on the risible faculties of the audience with uncommon
success.—The House was quite full.

A CAZD.—.Mrs. H. JOHNSTON, under the deepest impressions
of gratitude and respect, would have considered it her duty to have
earlier offered to her friends and the public her heartfelt acknow-
ledgments, for the flattering reception shewas honoured with on her
first appearance this season, by a numerou s and brilliant audience, had
she not feared, that attempts would be made to ascribe such an ad-
dress to motives very foreign indeed to those feelings of obligation
and humility which could alone induce her to trespass on their
indulgence • nor would she now presume to obtrude on their kind
notice, had she not found it indispensably necessary to appeal to
:heir generosity and consideration for protection, as she unhappily
finds, after a long and patient endurance of unmerited sufferings,
that a system of persecution still continues to be practised against
her, by a few prejudiced individuals, against the influence of whose
inveterate efforts, through the means of some cruel and unjust
paragraphs, to deprive her of that bounty arising from those pro-
fessional exertions which shall ever be gratefully devoted to their
entertainment, and to which alter she confidently looks for sup-
port, Mrs. JOHNSTON thus humbly appeals to their humanity,
and cheerfully submits her fate to a cemsorz Britich
