Almost every steamer that arrives has her deck
crowded with emigrants and their luggage. The

Mr.. Siddons. as we have already announced,
died in London on the 18th June. This dIstin-
guIshed actress was emphatically the Empress Of
the English stage. The splendor of her mental
endowments were even more eminent than the
towering majesty of her figure and dsmeancr.

drama the night on which Mrs. Siddons, took her
farewell of the Scottish stage, in the Glasgow
rheatre-she personated Lady Randolph; we
shall never, forget that performance.
Mrs. Siddons was inferred on the 18th of June,
at Paddington Church-the funeral was a private
one-tollowed only by the members of that pro-
fessiop of which she was the brightest and great
est ornament. Numerous applications were made
BY the nobility and gentry to join in the process

Mr.. Charles Kemble.-N. Y. paper.
