DIFFICULT SURGICAL OPERATIoN.--We learn that on
wednesday last most rare and difficult operation
performed by Dr. GIBSON at the Medical College in this
city. The disease was OSteo- Cephal0,na and the pa
tent lady, aged about 40 resident of the neighbour
ing county of Chesterfield The operaton consisted
in the removal Of the right hall OF the upper law and is
believed to be perhaps the difficult and uncommon
in the whole range Of surgical practice The patient
bore the operation with heroic forttude and we are
pleased TO learn is doing well.
THEATRE" Joan of Arc" was played in fine STYLE
Saturday night to the best house OF the season. Mr.
Chlppendale, the associate of Mr. Seton, appeared
MONDAY evening as Sir Peter Teaze, in the School for
scandal and amply sustained shne reputation AS an
accomplished comedian. The addition OF Mr.. Held
ana the arrival OF Mr. Chppendae, renders the present
company one OF the finest have ever seen in this
Guy. Inc management can now produce the best plays
with an elective CASTE and the admirers OF the drama
may now visit the theatre 18th the assurance that what
ever may be played, will be eoeU played In her line Mrs
Seton certainly one OF the finest actresses in this coun
try; Mrs. Jones is quite equal to many actresses who
star it-nay, superior in some particulars and Mrs
Sloan is always graceful and agreeable. Miss Wilmot
is quite good looking lady, but she is afflicted with
voice which renders it painful to listen to her She
surely was intended for the stage Miss Barton
sings some pieces passaby WELL though her voice de-
leetlve IN compass. Messrs Held, Chippendae, Sloan
Jones. Seton and Bradshaw constitute strong drama
tic team" MIR. Jones enjoys immense popularity with
the pit Mr. Bradshaw much, but OCCASION
ally plays well as, for instance in the play of the
Jewess on Tuesday evening, he personaed the Cardinal
with good taste and judgment.
The noise and confusion" created every evening in
the sorry to say, dstubs the audience serious
ly, and will have the effect to induce strangers who vi
sit ,he theatre, to form improper opinion Of Rich
mond audience. The yes and whistles which nightly
proceed therefrom are in the main, produced by the
thought essness of youth But the officers of the
house must apply the corrective. The ladies' will not
to any great extent, patronze the theatre unless better
order be enforced
