From The specimens exhibited of Mr..

which Mr.. Philipps most succeeds in, and
Mr.. Philips, we believe, would not un-
deflake the most successful songs of Mr..
incledon. We are gratified al this dis

readily anticipate the effects of laudable

and that is all he wants 10 make him a
first rate singer. If he possessed the
full heightened and sonorous tones ofMr.
lncledon, we should consider him equal
To Braham.
The opera of the Devils Bridge was
well performed, q Mr.. Philips, through
out, was w II supported. 1t seldom hap
pens that good singer llnites III his per-
son, the advantages Of d good performer,
but Mr.. Philips is an exception TO this
fact. Hispersonaa appearance is extreme

and engaging. His conception of Ike
part as we'll as execution, entities him to
very distinguished rank in the brofessi-
on. Altogether, we have seldom been SO
highly 9raiiied, and have no doubt that
his other characters will command equal
applause. ~. 7. Nat. Ado.
