The Comedy of " The Scheel for Scandal" was per. -
&inset! at this Theatre yesterday evening, for the par-
pow of introduciag a Mrs. nuts, is the character of
lady ?oak. This Lady, ,who is, we believe, the
sister if Hiss Mar:Haws, has performed at the laver-
pool and other Provincial Theatres, with considerable
sateen. Her reception was very flattering, sod she sus- i
1 tained her part in such a manner as fully to justify the I
favourable anticipation of the audience. Her conote-1,
mince is pleasing, and her voice is sweet and powerful. i
'ler second appearance in this character was aimounced '
amidst unqualified applause.
Upon the whole, we think the friends of Miss M.
Idivo evil mason to he satisfied with her success in this
character. The all Hence at least rave a pleasing teSti•
ITlrtly of their apprnhition in the aceamations with
1 vrli'.ch they received her.
