HAYMARKST T'HsArnE.-A young lady of the name of George made her appearance at this house last night, in the cha- racter of Svtsaina, in the opera of Tl/e Marriage of Figaro. WVe abound in mediocre f'emale singers to repletion, and have 0o many really considarable ones, that it woull require talent of a vervy ighi order at present to make any impression in Iondon. This sort of faculty Miss George does not exactly.possess. She has seme taste and cultivation, but not a voice of that excellence wlhich can tell vhere we hear Miss Stephens, or Miss Tree, or illiss Paton. She sang several songs last night rather pleasingly, and would no doubt be a star in the present posture of mnusical sflErs-at the Haymarket Theatre; but her acting is not of a description to. elance the value of her operatic talents. She has Iatejy been playing at the Bath theatre, and has also some reputation iR the county as' a concert singer; in which style of. performauce shc seemns more likely to. be ultimately successful than on the Etage.
