MRS. SCOTT SIDDoNs.-We have not the
least doubt that Portland Theatre will be filled
to OVERLOOKING this evening with a very critical
and fashionable audience, to listen to this
charming actress reading that beautiful poem of
Shakspeare's, A Midsummer Nights Dream,
accompanied by the distinguished pianist,
Miss Alice Dutton. We have published from
day to day the notices of the press of other
cities, all of which have been highly f1attering
to this distinguished artistic, but our Portland
people will be DESTROYS of judging for them
selves. There are many Shaksperan students
in the city who are not called out to any public
entertainment except when Shakspeare's plays
are offered them, many of whom have long ago
urged that an attempt should be made to in
duce Mrs. Siddons to visit us, as they were de-
sirous to compare her with Mrs Fanny Kem-
BILE and others. The opportunity is now af-
forded them, and judging by the looks Of the
board at Paine's music store, we shonld ad.
wise that reserved seats be secured during the
day. It is rarely that SO intellectual and ele-
waiting an entertainment is afforded in these
days, when the nude drama and the purely
spectacular seeks to drive the greatest of dra
matists into oblivion. The musical portion Of
the programme is sufficient to call out all our
musical people.
LEGAL STUMP MACHlNE.-In the Supreme
court last Thursday Judge Walton swept over
