NATIONAL THKATRE.-The Seguins closed their
engagement here on Saturday night, having had
for month past succession Of large and fashion
able audiences Their farewell performance was
varied by the introduction of prize melody,
titled ''Song for the Unon;" the words by Free
man Scott, of Philadelphia, the music by DR.. Cum
nington.
Miss Eliza Logan appears to. night in the ira
gedy of Euadne. We had not opportunity Of
witnessing her performances in an earlier part Of
the season, and therefore avail ourselves Of the fol-
lowing, communicated by dsinterested friend:
81 have read with great pleasure-shared, | am
sure, in no slight degree by the community-that
this young lady ia about to reappear at the Ma
tional Theatre. We have had during the recent
winter succession Of actresses, each possess
ing considerable talent; but think it may be fairly
claimed for Miss Logan that, with the single ex-
! ception of Miss Cushman, not one has received
more cordial appreciation from the audience
| exhibited greater promise Of hstrionic genius.
Miss Logans con cepton of a character Is intei-
gent and just. and evinccs deep study well a
decided aptitude for the profession che has adopted
Her action, while always vigorous and effective
rarely if trnnscends nature. Added 10 ,his 10
voice most remarkable for the unon OF power, com
pass and tone; and this is under very good control
With the character assumed by her, abe seems
completely absorbed and identified and this is SO
thorough absolutely to compel the sympathy of
the house. Few of those who witnessed will soon
forget her performance last winter in the play of
" Fazio or the Italian Wife's Revenge" when at
times, by single look gesture, the whole house
thrilled with mingled interest in the scene.
and admiration for the power of the actress.
In conclusion, permit me to express the hope
that this young lady will receive from the citzens
Of Washington that patronage which is cmi-
ncnty due, not less to her talent than to the
unnssuming and modest manner in which they
have been displayed"
