ingse
sun, at the enormous sum of fifty pounds per nght..
!Calms, KEAN, and YOUNG are to perform togmher
in
the same Trasedies.
ENGLISH UPIHIA Houss.—Miss PATON made her
first appearance for the season at this Theatre on Sa,tur-
day night, as Mandane, in Artaxerxes, and Miss bow-
AND, tore the first time, performed Artazerxes. The
performance of Miss PATONhas been so o'ten noticed.
that, though her performance never fails to awaken nee
feelings of delight and admiration, any thing like no-
velty in expressing them, is no longer to be tooled for.
She was oa Saturday in charming voice, and gave the
I celebrated Soldier tired, and Monster away; the loser!
with a feeling and beauty, and the latter with an energl
of expression above all praise. She was obliged w
tt
peat the one, but the repetition of the other the audien:e
were ht
good natured enough not to insist upon. Moi
GOWARD'S performance of the Prince was such as mig
have been anticipated from that very clever and clatir
improving actress. In the song, infancy, which'
loudly encored, she did not much suffer, even by
comparison with Miss PATON, which is the high $.
praise we could bestow on any English vocalkt.
