taken to appear that night, that it might n•it be tie-
ci.s.ary to change the performances, though her
bealth was in such a stale, that they must have per.
ceived if. would have been mare prudent in her to
have remained at borne. As she had come forward
• in assist the Theatre, and (as she hoped) to gratify
the Public, he trusted she would experience their
usual indulgence. This 'Adieu was well received,
!entl.Mra. LUATTERLEY met with the kindest moo.
