The gossip columns of the Morning Post supply reports respecting
Miss ADELAIDE KEMBLE'S retirement from the stage, somewhat more definite than previous rumours as to time. She, with Miss ILLINFORTIF, BALFE, and others, will set out on a provincial tour early in July, for two months ; and she will perform at Covent Garden Theatre from the commencement of the ensuing season until Christmas, when she will retire from the profession. Mrs. ALFRED SHAW is engaged, it is said, at Covent Garden, to perform with Miss KEMBLE in operas requiring a contralto ; and " when Miss ADELAIDE KEMBLE makes her exit," adds the Post, " it is rumoured that CLARA Novrazo will make her debut." The interesting accounts of Mrs. ALFRED SHAW'S success in Germany have prepared us to witness with interest her appearance in a London theatre. CLARA Novra.t.o shared in Rosszmis triumph at Bologna on the performance of his Stabat Mater; and she has sung with eclat at many Italian theatres. '['he last " rumour" does not go to the extent of saying that she has consented to winter in England.
