 DICKENS BY WELLs.-The residents and visitors in Lichfield were delightful ly entertained on Friday evening last by Frank Wells, Esq. of Philadelphia. He read the Nicholas yickleby of Dickens. for the benefit of the Village Improve ment Society, and displayed such a fine conception of the characters and such powers of expression snd delineation. as commanded the highea qualification of a large and intelligent audience. The pow or of adapting voice and manner to the interpretation of parts so diverse as those of Fanny Squeers and John the York. shireman. is not often possessed by one man. but Arr. Wells was admirably suc- cessfnl Tn these. as well as in all the other parts in this wonderful production of tho great novelist.
