ARRIVAL OF MADAME CELESTK.-Among the arr
walls in The Great Western, we have to notice tina
of Madame Celeste, the favorlte and pet child o
both America and Europe. She has been absen
nearly two years, and, according to the Z" London
News has several purposes in view in returning o
these shores, as follows:-
MADAME CELEsrE.-Beiore you, gentle reader. you have
the presentmcnt referring to engraving of that far
famed and accomplished artistic Madame Celeste in her
pquante and saucy character of Margot in The Pretty
Girls Of Shiberg," which she renders peculiarly attrac
tive by her naire acting and her exceedingly pretty and
correct costume Indeed in all she does her attention to
costume and her devotion to her art is worthy the ma
ton OF her less fortunate brothe, and sister professors She
is perhaps the most generally popular avore that
appeared in our United Kingdoms and in the United States
she is absolutely idozed To the latter airy she
Immediately appertans, having married an American OF
the name OF Elliott and whose death the cause of her
sueden return by the Great Western, to look after cons
derable property she had realized by her sole exerons
amounting at one time to something like 900 dollars
and to bring to this country her only child daugh
ter for the better finishing OF her education She ORR
ginay pupil of the academic Royae of Paris; and by
and industry backed by that necessasy
greden genius has raised herself to her present eeva
ted postian Whether as an actress pantomimst,
danseuse she is equally excellent witness her dashing
touches of true comedy ST. Louis in Foreign 4fair
and her pathos Marie in Marie Ducangs" her mute
eloquence Maurice in The Child ofthe Wrech or her
graceful movements in 81. Mars Ere, and The World
Of Dreams We wish her safe passage to the other side of
the Atlantic and speedy return successful she is TO
be as far the public go. She numbers many genuine
friends both here and there her private WORTH amiable
respect and admiration of all.
Celeste took apartments in the Astor House on
Saturday evening. AS as it was known, all
the managers in town were calling to see if they
could effect an engagement with her. She leaves
town this morning early tor Baltimore, to go for hel
beautiful young daughter, who is at boarding schoo
in Baltimore or thereabouts Mademoiselle Elliott
her daughter is now about fifteen years of age, just
hurst ,ntn heon amir with laro -
fortune of about 100000 in her own right Ma
daneCeeste has been coming money and reputation
in Europe, and is worth large fortune herself, be-
sides what she can make in a few years TO come
She is in the prime of life and beauty-fresher and
loveer than she ever was-full of sersbility and
enthusiasm for her art She has Just lost her mother
who died in London about six weeks ago, and she
is in deep mourning, which seems to off her beau
tful face and form to great advantage. She is ac-
companied by her father, fine looking venerable
old gentleman, who served in the army of Napo-
leon, and was an officer, we believe in the "Grand
Army or at least in several of his battles
Celeste has brought out a number of new dramas
with her, and she will make her first appearance at
the Bowery Theatre, in one OF the best on Monday
night next. She is woman of remark able talent
-remarkabebeaut which we may add, of a re-
markable fortune, now in hand swell another
in prospect. The competition among the managers
prodgious-but Hambln made an offer OF
$4,000 cash for short engagement, and carried
the prize. Hambln, the old reprobate, may now re-
rieve his fortunes, if he chooses to reform. But at
all events, advise the beautiful Celeste, to be
sure of her money every night at least No trust in
these days of bank defalcations. How Simpson Il
Barry came to be outgeneralledwe know not. They
seem to be under a SPELL
Celeste returns to London in December, TO fulfil
engagements there and throughout the provinces.
She only plays single engagement at the Bowery-
one al Balamore, one at Boston, and one at Phila-
delphaS
