mony. The characters of the Drama in whieli sl,e

line, in " The Prize," Agnes, in " The Mountaineers,*
Askla, in " The Haunted Tower," and Caroline, in
"The Tcung Hussar," and for her own benefit Rosins,
in the celebrated farce of that name, and Rorie
rttta, in " No Song,. No Supper." Those who had pet.
viously heard Miss FzaoN's vocal powers, scarcelyer-
panted to witness such excellence on the stage, and
it was impossible not to be impressed with the na-
tive modesty and chastity of dress and action, which
so peculiarly marked her character in all her vai-
ous performances. In the vocal department, she
gave " Son ReTina," CATALANIIS favourite air in
" Sends-amide," with a taste and judgement not inferior
to that of her famed precursor. In 6' 0 dolcs Con-
cento," she was equally
.excellent ; but in ~ Crazy
Jane," her pathos, melody, and characteristic exe-
cution, feelingly arrested the judgment of bar audi-
tors, while it wonderfully evinced. the extent and
diversity of her p;:wers. In the celebrated air of
"The Soldier tied of War's Alarms," the rapidity and
neatness of her execution exceeded every expectation;
and the only deficiency .vas an apparent want of
power to compass that of the composer : this, how-
ever, is a defect which time and nature will remedy.

was robbed of three sacks, each containing bags
of letters. Two persons, *pon whom suspicion of
being accessary to the robbery falls, took places in
