The report of Mrs. Edwin'...
Tlic report of Mrs. Edwiin's havinig qulittcd the stage, is, we understand, withoUt foundation. The young lady who has tmade so promising a debut at the Englishi Opera, is the daughter of lAlrs. llervev, an officer's wi. dow, whose husband, we believe, was killed in the Peninsular war, and left her and lher family in straitened ci.cumstances.

In his own lperformance, AIr Philips has always miade thc pronuniciation and accent of his words. his first objects, and lie has endeavoured to imparttlieiracquirenment to his pupils. Ss far, in his task with AUiss.1lervey. he h.s been successful.
