OWNUNICATED
1t is with pleasure we announce TO the
public, that whilst the President was in
the Theatre, on Thursday evening, paw
ing particular attention TO the play, an
artist the name of whom we have not
learnt, but who, we believe, to be an
Italian, placed near the Orchestra, was
assiduously employed in taking his Por-
trait. II appears almost incredible, that
III the midst OF such crowd, who press
ed on all sides, so many lights striking al
once upon Tie OBJECT, he should have
been able to have even made use OF his
pencil
We we're astonislied when we were
toll by those WHO by chance saw the
drawing, that 1T was a perfect likeness,
and before the first part of the PLAY was
over. il 'yas reported all over the house
that foreigner bad transmitted to us the
arts must have been extremely fatigued
on account OF the crowd that surrounded
him but, the fatigue he underwent must
have ben, ~ some measure compensat-
ed by iiie praises conferred on his work.
We mention tlis circumstance, because
II has siCwn TO us more particularly the
love the public has for It's Dy;ns9fS iate,.pa-
res, by the satisfaction 1t experienced in
seeing traced so expeditiOusly and faith
fully his imagc.-TN. Y. Mer Adr.
