The beautiful, and talented, and interesting, and
charming Miss ShirreA closes her engagement at the
National Theatre this week-and soon she
makes trip to Saratoga Springs-then to western
New York-then to Niagara Falls-then to Lake
ontario-then to Montreal-then to Quebec-and
then back to Saratoga and New York. Gods how
We should like to go with her This is the route
she Will take, or ought to take il we can form any
opinion OF what her fine taste for the beautiful and
magnificent in natural scenery will lead her to do.
But are We not to have a concert before she goes
For year past Miss S. has been prevented from
giving concerts here in consequence of her stpula-
tions with Mr.. Waliack. We trust that, hereafter,
she will take care to keep her sweet tongue free on
that particular pont-ard her fair hand also free
another more particular point-for this latter point
increases her interest astonishingly with such a
curious and imaginative public we have in this
land 3. love, liberty and poetic democracy. She
must always sing and say
'Pm over young to marry yet"
Bat before she sets out for the Falls, we really
hope that she may 1--WE Concert, and let us hear
once more Of those rich, enchanting old En-
gish, Scottish or Irish songs, which from her
fair lips like the first gushings Of new born soul
from the hands Of its Maker in the very corner OF
Paradise. Then she may start on her summer ex-
cursion, and enjoy some Of the delicious and magni,
ficent scenes Of Western New york-not so neat and
pretty as her English scenery s--but conceived, ex-
ecuted and adorned on far more wild and magnif-

the lakes Of Switzerland or Cumbe rland. Their
banks covered with rich lawns, and the scenery
every where is like the tabled Arcadian groves
than any thing that Europe produce. Having
passed Canandaigua, that town of palaces and the
other western villages Of equal magnifcence, she will
enter upon the Genesee country extensive plain Of
unrivaed richness, Of nearly hundred miles in ex-
tent At the termination of this plain she punges up
the Niagara river, connecting these magnificent
inland seas, Erie and Ontario. Here she will see the
Falls, and here she descend the staircase and
visit the termination rock and there thread her way
under the magnificent sheet Of water of the Horse
Shoe fall Having recorded her name in the book,
she may proceed down to Montreal and Quebec, and
afford the gallant Queens Guards and fashionable
Grenaders some few happy evenings in listening to
her warblings.
This is summer programme for Miss Shirref's
use and information. She is now completely Amer
canized, and, therefore, will understand it, On Sat-
urday last we happened to catch glimpse of her
At the exhibition Of Sully's Victora-and really we
hardly recognized the fair Miss Jane Shirrcif.-
w hen she arrived here, about year ago, she was
too rosy-too plump-teo healthy-too English in
her form, complexion, and general appearance. The
hard work of year, assisted by delicious, wick
ed fitting, huctuating climate, has reduced her 10

spifuec Of American females Of the day. She is now
very perfect beauty, according to notions,
in this beautiful new world, where old things become
new. She daily approaches more and more the clas

bem OF the highest order of American female beauty
There is sentiment and feeling thrown around
her fair face, that she never could have acquired
under the dark and heavy skies Of old England Like

cloudessness of an American sky, TO ripen lovely

We must request Miss Shirreff to give US a Con-
