MRS. hlOWATT,

This lovely woman and beautiful and captivating actrcss,
won a complcte triumph on Monday night. The house was
crowded and brilliant, and every Thing passed OIL Host plea
sanity. Since hrs. Mowntt was hsre-some hve years
since-she has wonderfully improved. IhsH she was oeii-
cate and without great ~power-she has now grown into a
woman % rich beauty OF face and form, and her acting Is
marked bv touching sweetness and lmpassioned force. Her
versatility Of talent was admirably displayed In tho various
phases Of Julia" Some of her attitudes were beautifully
classical, and brought to mind the finest specimens OF Gre
clan sculpture. We regretted TO find her suffering from q
severe coli-and the night was frsezing-but it only slightly
impaitsd the efIec, OF her fine aciing-set oil, as it was, BY
the queen.likc charms OF Tie handsomsst woman we have
seen on any Stage, in this country or abroad.
l. is due 10 Mr.. Maule and his excellent company, 10 ex-
press our approba,ion of the manner in which Mrs. MOwatt
WIS sustained on the occasion. We have rarely seen a piece
better PLAYED, in every respect. Mrs. Potter, as The arch and
spirited Helen, surpassed herself. MIR. Brelslord was MASTER
Walter TO the life and Mr.. Henderson 1--WE only wished MS
face and figure were Il little more classic9 played Clifford
! with great success. "Mudus" was well pcrsonated by
Phelps and Burke was only zoo funny for The play, Inter
rup,ing the current OF the play by the roar called forth by
his grotesque and irresisably ludicruus face and figure.
To night Mrs. Mowatt, will play "Constancu" In the
Love CHASE. She has already so deeply fixed herself In the
heart of the public here. that no inducement is necessary 10
secure 4 full house. With such pieces, in such hands, the
theatre is indeed u most agreeable and instructive resort.
-----se---
in spite of u wretchcd cold, which caused her much sui
iering, and rendered her voice thick and hoarse, Mrs. Now
att, on Tuesday night. gave hearty satisfaction TO another
crowded and brilliant house, In the two pieces o. the Stran-
ger and The Honey Moon. The former piece-with its false
moralily-ws never liked 30 we'll before. II was, play
ed win great spiri, and effect. Miss Wheeler, Messrs'
Brelsford, Burke, Phelps and Webb did eScellently in both
pieces. Mrs. Cappell, Messrs. Cartlch and Henderson,, in
the first piece, were very successful. In the Honey Moon,
Mrs. Potter sustained herself with her usual spirit; and
Burke's Mock Duke was singulary ludlcrous, and brought
down roars Of laughter.
Mrs Muwar,, In the very different characters of tho two pie
cts, showed herself q finished actress and accomplished lady.
In the one she wrung tears OF sympathy-in the other her arch
spirit and captivating smile excited good hnmor in all. We
shall not again trust ourselves to speak OF her personal at
fractions, farther than 10 say that, In her piquant peasants
costume, abe combined the delcacy and softness OF Ameri.
can beauty, with the glowing bloom and rich developments
Of The English mould.

THE PRESIDENT PRO TEN. OF THE STATE

Our types yesterday made US present Dir. Deneale In u
singular light. They spoke Of him as the 'uealthy repre-
sentative Of Rockingham" &c, Instead Of "rorthy," as we
had written it. Wo should be most happy, with q dash OF
the pen, to confer The riches of Crnsus upon our friend but,
unfortunately, he, Ike ourselves, Is not orerstocked with

He is, however, wealthy in one thing--viz: in those fine
qualities w.ich command the confidence or the glorious De-

looked upon as matter-of course trans

have had about as much TO do in bringing
about this state Of things. Of asking one
price and taking another, as the people
themselves. in truth many mark their
goods with reference to this fact We
have read an old anecdote of an old book
seller, whom we consider a model in his
way. and therefore give it for the benefit
Of our readers.
