DttIItY•LAN T Lail night a Mrs.
Foetus, from the Dublin Rage, made her entree be-
fore a London audience, in the intereßing charader
of Mandeville, in the Comedy called The 14111.
The figure of this lady is petiteand neat. She teemed
to feel the talk the had to execute, and appeared ra-
ther embarrafted. As the Comedy advanced, how-
ever, the apparently acquired confidence, and gave
various paltages with a becoming degree of fpirit,
though diffidence teemed in general to pervade her
per .....1111AIICC. We do not blame this. Wh we
meet with talent, however it may be deprefted by ti-
midity, we always augur profperoufly of its future
exertion. We think this lady well calculated, as far
as we could judge by a firll appearance, to bec-me,
in time, a refpedable fubfliture for Mrs. CHARLES
KIMBLE, and with her every fuccell. She was moll
favourably received.
There is now in the parilk of Tintagel, Cornwall, a
