Agnes Robertson.

OF this ~sprightly, versatile, and fascinating
artistic, who is never seen without admiration
in her ~favorite character Of "The Young
Actress the following brief but interesting
notice has been published in the London Court
Journal. We commend it TO the attention Of
Miss Robertson's admirers in this city.
miss Robertson was born in the city OF
Edinburg, Scotland, in the year 1888. She is
therefore in her twenty second year. Her first
appearance before the public took place in her
native city, 1914, then being eleven years of
age. She sang at a series of concerts, Scotch
melodies, exhibiting so much purity of voice
and i~nfantine grace, the large and fashionable
audience were attracted to these Entertainments
In ls45, she first played the characters in which
Clara Fisher had once been so celebrated. In
l948 she accepted an engagement IN Dublin,
and leaving behind her the reputation Of the
infant prodigy, became, although not more than
fifteen. the leading favorite in her present style
Of performance. From Dublin she returned
TO Scotland in lS49, and was the guiding star
of the Glasgow Theatre, Whine Mr. Charles kean,
having become the manager OF the Princess
Theatre in London, Immediately offered Miss
Robertson an engagement in that Metropolis.
In the fall of 1850 she made her appearance
before a London audience as Nertssa in the
Merchant of Venice Mrs. Kean, miss
Ellen Tree acting Rorfia. The Queen was, by
accident, present on the occasion, and ex-
pressed herself so infatuated with the beauty,
elegance and brilliancy Of the new actress, that
she sent for Mr.. Kean, who o~6iciates as manager
of the Royal Theatrical performances, and
suggested for the future that Miss Robertson
should always appear at Windsor Castle on
those occasions. From this moment she
became the fashion Of London. She was
presented to the Queen and the royal favor was
iavished upon her. The best society nov
coveted her presence, and she was one Of the
bellies Of the season. At this juncture, the
Earl Of H, a peer of great wealth, became
deeply attached TO her. Their marriage was
publicly announced in the London press and
produced much sencation in the aristocratiC
ranks Of the English nobility. When the Ear
had obtained the reluctant consent Of bis
family, he p%roffered his hand to Miss Robertson
who. to the universal establishment, refused th,
alliance. This circumstance was the "town
talk /" Of the city for many months, during
which the lady was still pursued by the Earl o
H-with undated ardor. The hopes Of he
noble sutton were suddenly checked by the ~
port that she had married q gentleman to whom
for many years she had been attached, and i'm
mediately sailed for this country"

OBITUARY.
Died, in the city of New York, on the 3oth ult
PETER AUGUSTUS JAY.

PETER AUGUoluo JAi.
The subject Of this notice was well known in
this District, where he resided for a long tInfe.
His memory is ahectionately cherished by a large
circle of friends, who were warmly attached 10
him. Although they were aware OF his feeble
hold on life, and sure that the grim enemy OF US
all would soon claim the victim, yet when the
silver cord was loosed," the shock was as painful
as il il had been unexpected.
tt all Mr.. Jay was the courteous gentleman
but only to those who knew him well and rejoced
in his friendship, were shown in their full strength
the true and noble traits of his nature. There
was no guile, and no taint Of baseness in him.
His honor was above the impeachment OF even
suspicion or malice. The truthlulness, sincerity,
and frankness, which so beautifully adorned his
character. were themselves ~softened and mellow
ed by a chivalrous generosity. He was liberal 10
ali creeds, and 10 every shade OF honest opinion.
Openhearted himself, he regarded meanness as
the twin brother of rascalty, and his scorn OF u
was intense. He was not swirl IN forming friend
ships, vet when made they were inestimably pres
cious 10 him. For those whom be loved, no sac
riice was too great. Their reputation was as
dear 10 him as his own. There was no sort OF
selhshness about him. Throughout his lingering
illness, prolonged through months and almost
years of suffering, he yielded 10 no vain repinlngs.
His fortitude never deserted him-under the pres
sure of what, to most men, would have brought de-
spair-he showed no peevish fretfulness. Front
ing calmly what had come upon him, he walked
his way, all dimmed as Il was with the shadows
Of a certain fate, courageously 10 the end, and no
voice Of weakness was heard from him. Even
the struggles of the fathers heart were silent
ones, when his eyes turned upon his orphaned
boy, so early committed to his sole care, and 20
dear 10 him a. the beautiful memorial OF the
dead.
Peace TO his ashes. And may Heaven protect
from the storms ofthe world the youthful head Of
his little one, who, in the very dawning of life, has
twice been smitten with the mightiest calamity
that can befal tender years. q.
