MRS. WARMERS READINGs.-Those who
were present at Brinley Hall on Monday evening,
for The purpose of listening to MIS- Warmers read
ing of Macbeth, enjoyed an intellectual entertain
ment of no ordinary Character. The brilliant
reputation which this lady has won, both as an
actress and an elocutionisi, had prepared the
minds of those present FIR something more than
ordinary; and we believe we speak only the
unanimous opinion of the intelligent and discrimi-
mating audience present, when we say that their
fullest expectations were realised Mrs Warner
has a voice ofgreat clearness and power, which is
entirely under her control ,aud her reading through
out showed that the encomiums that have been so
Profusely avished npon her by the critics and the
press, both in this country and England, we're
well deserved. 1t appears to be the unanimous
wish Of all who heard her, that Mrs. w. should
give series of similar readings in this city, and
we doubt not that she would be greeted with
OVERLOOKING houses.

more ntelligibly, as follows =
The chief leader in this affair turns not to be

some five or six years ago. And, instead of rails.
ing rebellion, with the design of upsetting he
government, he seems rather struggling for religi-
GUS liberty, and is upsetting idolatry. He is
man of extraordinary appearance, about five feet
Or inches high, well built, round faced, regu-
lar in his features, rather handsome, about mid
die aged, and of gentlemanly manners. While
here, he applied himself to the study of the Scrip
lures, daily committing them to memory; and
