The return to the stage of Lady Boothby, who reassumes

the name of Mrs. Nisbett, cannot fail to be of advantage to the comic drama in general and to the Haymarket in particular. The flow of animal spirit which this lady has at command, her person, and her manner, enable her to give a weight to the characters she assumes, beyond the power of any other living actress. During the period of her retirement we have had more than one attempt at the higher walk of comedy; but they have been attempts and no more. No one but Mrs. Nisbett can bestow the proper allowance of hilarity upon " Neighbour.Constance " in the Love-Chase, the part in which she has reappeared. She was received by a crowded audience with all the external indications of delight.
